Illogical Things People Believed For Years

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the various illogical things that people believed for years. Many of us can fall through the cracks on various things that the rest of the world treats as common sense. As long as you learn at some point, that's what counts.

1.

Text - Squeegee54 • 1d Whenever I was at the mall as a kid, I asked my older sibling why some mannequins didn't have heads. They told me it was because the mannequin heads were crawling on the ground trying to come and bite my feet. I believed it for a very long time and then became paranoid every time I was at the mall. Whenever I saw a mannequin without a head, it was time to panic. Reply 6.3k ...

Anyway, realized in COLLEGE that i kind of still had that as a thing in the back of my head (the opportunity to challenge it never really came up) and I was like wtf brain, really? Reply 266 ...

Text - [deleted] • 1d 3 1 Award When I first got my license they asked if I wanted to be an organ donor. I said no. Years later a friend of mine asked me why I wasn't a donor and I told them it was because I was afraid they would call me up one day and demand a kidney or part of my liver or something. After laughing their ass off my friend explained that's not how it works and now l'm an organ donor. Hopefully no one wants my brain because l'm a moron. Reply 4.2k ...

Text - wormboyz • 1d 1 Award When I was 61 went on an airplane for the first time, and I must have fallen asleep and had a dream, without realising it was a dream. It was a decade later when I realised I couldn't really be angry that my brother got to ride with the pilot, roll the window down and get a cup of cloud, and I didn't. Reply 2.9k ...

Text - rjay9795 • 1d I believed for years that I would be abducted by aliens after freaking myself out as a child watching something on history channel. As I got older I reasoned my way out of it by assuming that if aliens were real and gonna abduct someone, they'd have no particular reason to come to my densely populated black neighborhood and decide to mess with me specifically. This eventually led me to realize that most things like aliens, ghosts, Bigfoot etc aren't really reported from blac

Text - BlackCaaaaat • 1d My uncle, who enjoys shit-stirring, told me that watermelon seeds can sprout in your stomach if you eat them. I was a young kid, and I kept believing it for years. That must be why I hate eating watermelon, but don't mind watermelon flavour in other foods and drinks. Reply 642 ...

Text - indecision-king • 1d I thought beluga whales and narwhals were made up, like vampires. (Edit:learned narwhals were real in ninth grade; beluga whales didn't become real until I think 11th or 12th grade) Reply 164 ...

Text - Samwell_Ka-tet • 1d That EVERYBODY, except me, were aliens trying to manipulate me in some kind of experiment. So while I was interacting with someone, s/he was wearing a "human costume", but when I was far away they would return to their alien body. (I cannot say I 100% don't believe in that anymore) Reply 1 498 ...

Text - annainpajamas • 1d When I was really young, one of my friends told me that raisin bread had rabbit poop in it. So I refused to eat raisin bread for years. At some point the narrative of rabbit poop in bread must have got a little strange because then convinced myself I just didn't like it. And went with that for 25 years. Until I dated someone who loved raisin bread and tried and it was amazing! No more rabbit poop bread. Reply 632 ...

Text - tadlikesbread • 1d When I was like 3 my favorite TV show was Max and Ruby. There was an episode where Max got a wind up lobster toy and it gets loose and runs around the house. This convinced me that at every Red Lobster restaurant location they had live lobsters running around everywhere. Everytime I went there for probably 2 or 3 years I sat with my feet on my chair so I wouldn't get pinched by one of them. Reply 80 ...

Text - prettydotty_ • 1d If you shake water in a water bottle long enough it will turn into crystal. Why did I believe this? Because my big sister told me and she was never wrong.

Bridezilla Crafts Insane List Of Rules For Bachelorette Party

Yes, people like this actually exist. Suffice to say, we don't think anyone would want to find themselves at this bachelorette "party" if they were hoping to have a good time.

1.

Text - Emma is getting married in June. Emma's bachelorette party is at the beginning of May in Las Vegas. We'll be there a total of 6 days. There's 17 people going (all 6 of her bridesmaids, and the rest are other close friends). Taylor wasn't originally invited to the wedding. We were all pleasant with each other in college, but never really friends. Taylor contacted Emma in January and asked why she hadn't received her invitation. When Emma explained she wasn't invited, Taylor lost it and sta

2.

Text - About a month ago, Taylor threw another fit because she wasn't invited to the bachelorette party. There was a big debate in our group chat, and we ultimately decided what the hell, what's the worst that could happen? And gave her the details and invited her. Well, Taylor has emailed all of us this list of rules for Vegas. Please enjoy this ridiculousness. My fav is definitely the second half of #6: asking one of the girls who has ADHD to not bring her "methamphetamines" (aka her prescribe

Text - Vegas Rules Today at 12:14 AM Hi All, I'm really excited for our upcoming trip to Vegas. I think it'll be such a good time and we'll all finally get to bond.

4.

Text - I know Vegas is known as "sin city," but despite this, I still have to uphold the moral code our Father inscribed in my heart. Due to this, I have some ground rules that l'd like everyone to follow. These will not only help me remain aligned with the Church, but also keep us all out of trouble. 1. Sunday, the 12th, I have found an appropriate church and contacted the Pastor there explaining that we're from out of town, but we'd still like to attend services. Sunday @ 7:15 am, we'll be Ube

Text - it'll be a nice way to cleanse us of our sins from that week. 2. In the hotel room, no hard liquor. I don't want people getting inebriated and falling from the balcony. Also, as this is my first time being "of age" and in an environment with prevalent drinking, I don't want to be tempted by these foul drinks. I'm not sure how l'll react to "rum" or "tequila" or

Text - "vodka" and Il'd like to test these in more controlled environments. Please stick to light beers and red wines. 3. There will be no sex taking place in our hotel rooms/anywhere in the suite. As none of us have committed ourselves to husbands yet, there's no need to have premarital sex. 4. Please don't invite random men back to the suite. I do not see a need for them to be there or know where we are staying. I don't want to be robbed! 5. Please venmo me $50 each as I will be buying groceri

Scammer Gets Trolled and Taken on Wild Ride

We can't believe this scamming tactic ever works. How many people believe that a complete stranger claiming to be a CEO or government official or whatever would need you to pay them with gift cards? Either way, when it happens to savvy people, they try to have fun with a text message scammer. The person on the other end is apparently so desperate for those gift cards that scammers can get trolled for a ridiculously long time.
