Painfully Idiotic Memes to Remind You That Confidence Doesn't Always Equate to Intelligence

Confident people typically exude intelligence, grace, and sometimes wealth. When wielded properly, confidence can be a key weapon in any well-read person's arsenal. However, in the hands of someone with less-than-average intelligence, overt confidence can be excruciating.

 

Stupid people have always existed in society. And with the wind of the Internet at their backs, they sail the Web with confidence, unchecked facts, and unbridled free speech as a platform for their voice. In the modern age, the village idiot is not confined to the hut at the edge of town, uselessly spinning straw between their teeth as they babble nonsensical musings to themselves. No, no… The modern idiot is louder than ever, screaming at the rooftops of a worldwide platform that we all observe. 

 

Now the village idiots can take their incorrectness global, confidently posting whatever they want and whatever they think on the inter-webs for all of us to chuckle at. So join me, my intelligent friends, to gawk at the musings of the most confidently incorrect people in our world, who always seem to have the strongest Wifi connection. 

Top Trending Hinge Comments of the Month (August 2022)

People say that Hinge is among the more classy dating apps, but based on these comments, that does not seem to be the case. These memes were sourced from @hinge_comments and @hinge_funnies on Instagram, and they perfectly capture just how intentionally and unintentionally funny people can be on dating apps.

 

These aren't the types of comments that make single life seem glamorous at all. But we hope that if you're regularly coming across bold and insane profiles such as these, you feel perhaps less alone. I mean, the number one takeaway here is that people can be really weird online. They make bizarre photo choices (e.g. literally who are you out of these seven dudes in the picture?), they provide the most boring, generic answers to the prompts (e.g. "travel" and "coffee" are not personality traits!), and they overshare…a LOT (e.g. why are you already talking to me about your ex?). There are, of course, a few exceptions, and that's why we all keep searching and swiping and commenting and meeting…but we know it's rough out there.

Update: IT Director Quits Arrogant CEO, Reduces His Notice Period After Unprofessional Response

This IT Director found a better position and gave his notice which he then shortened due to the CEO's poor attitude. After she told him that he was "not being helpful" when he was doing his best (and then some) to contribute to a successful handover, he decided to live up to her words.

These are the types of "leaders" who will gladly tell you that "It's just business" when they're laying you off or refusing you a raise. Yet, when you find a better opportunity and give notice, they take it personally, acting as if you've betrayed them. Suddenly, "It's just business" isn't valid, and the employer wonders why all these employees end up "Turning against them," utterly blind to the fact that they are the common denominator. 

Reddit user u/YesImStillanAtheist posted his story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit with the title "IT Director 'Not being helpful?' Time for malicious compliance." He then returned later to give an update to expectant readers.

Readers enjoyed the story, expressing their appreciation for their approach and requesting future updates as well.

"Congrats on walking the tightrope of screwing your previous company but not screwing your coworkers," said user DJ_Level_3. "That's a hard one! Hope you and the people you helped become successful and happy!"

"Thank you! A tightrope indeed," replied the original poster. "I did the best I could to walk it, but IT was not the interim person's core skill set. We were still reviewing documentation right up to the last minute."
 

Woman Who "Tells It Like It Is" Insults Her Date's Career and Gets Dumped

A second-date sleepover can lead to the start of something great. It can lead to cuddling, a cute breakfast in the morning, or maybe more "nighttime activity." Unfortunately for this guy, none of those possibilities came to fruition after some really bad pillow talk destroyed any chance at this relationship having legs. 

 

u/Individual_Section_6 aired his grievances on Reddit's r/datingoverthirty subreddit with a thread about a woman who insulted his career after the two were planning on spending the night together for the first time. He acknowledges that his date self-identified as "blunt" from the start, but that was not enough of an excuse for him. When he subsequently called her out, she immediately tried to patch things up and apologize. However, once you show your true cards, it's pretty difficult to take that back and this guy was not about to fall for an insincere apology. 

 

This is what happens when you notice a red flag and confront it immediately rather than put on rose-colored glasses or let feelings of doubt fester. Dismissing your date's career as "meaningless" (that's a DIRECT quote, ladies and gentlemen) is unacceptable, not honest. Scoffing at where your date went to college is a sign of ignorance, not intellectual superiority. And spoiling a great night of fun with a remark like that is the true egregious act here.

 

We've seen plenty of dating fails recently. Check out these Top Tinder Moments of the week for more.
