In welding last semester I refered to someone as a semi-literate knuckledragger and the person I said it to asked "What's semi-literate mean?" I actually facepalmed IRL.
A chick in my English class asked me why I read weird books when she saw the cover to Wizard and Glass. After asking me what it's about she asked if it's about the king. I looked at the cover and in big bold letter that take up a third of the cover it said Stephen King. Before I could say anything someone else told her that Stephen King is the author. Not really a facepalm kinda thing but still pretty funny.

Today I was trying to read a book about Friedrich Nietzsche. And some girls next to me were talking about Paris Hilton's album
It felt like my brain was being torn in half

Today I was trying to read a book about Friedrich Nietzsche. And some girls next to me were talking about Paris Hilton's album It felt like my brain was being torn in half Her heinous album came out like 2 years ago, they're a bit behind. And even though it flopped all over the world, it did still manage to sell upwards of 200,000 copies in the US. Again, total floppage, but that's still 200,000 total idiots.

@harley: I had the same thing happen to me regarding your 'semi-literate' thing, only with the person asking me what "illiterate" meant. We were watching a movie at school in one of my classes, and references to BDSM came up. People were referring to it as "emo sex stuff". Kind of dumb, but not as bad as what's coming. The other day, we had a free study day in one of my classes. There's this ghetto-ass girl in her twenties who I've had for several classes. I can't stand her; she's loud and obnoxious, and she asks so many hideously stupid questions that she gets the whole class behind. Sometimes she asks questions that have been answered multiple times in previous days, or even a few minutes earlier, just in different words. She'll also constantly ask what would normally be rhetorical questions, but expect an answer. Anyway, during this free-study day, I got to like her even less. For starters, she was giving her opinion on all kinds of matters nobody asked about. She got to talking about her horrible experience in World Religions class where poor, persecuted [bitch] got told to sit down and be quiet when she was yelling threats at a girl who was defending homosexuality after this bitch was making homophobic remarks. After this anecdote, she gave her opinions about homosexuality, which was a bunch of "I don't care what you say, but nothing's gonna make me think otherwise - it's not possible to be born gay, because I've never seen a gay baby. It's a chocie, you get up in the morning and decide to go have sex with another chick or *not* have sex with another chick" (more or less her exact words). I kept my mouth shut, in part because all the other students more or less agreed with her and I was having a shitty enough day as it is without getting ganged up on by a bunch of retarded ethnic stereotypes Later on, I discovered even more about this girl. The discussion veered towards music. In addition to listening to shit like Soulja Boy, the girl had honestly never heard of The Beatie Boys, Run-DMC, or, wait for it... Led Zeppelin. She had honestly never heard of Led fucking Zeppelin. Beyond that, through further discussion, it turned out that I had a vastly greater knowledge of hip-hop than this girl who was a step away from a 'gangsta' stereotype. Oh yeah, and for one more cherry on the shit sundae... I made a joke about playing Cannibal Corpse at my wedding, not expecting any of the class to know who that was (they didn't), instead just assuming the name of the band would say all that needed to be said. This girl then said something about "listening to emo crap". She had never heard of Cannibal Corpse beforehand, but apparently the name 'Cannibal Corpse' sounds incredibly emo. *facepalm*

Luckily, my grandmother, mother, older (by 11 years) sister, and even my asshole father always had music playing. I got many influences and know a lot about music from all eras. (My dad was 11 years younger than my mom, so I got 4 generations of music exposure.) My grandmother loved standards and country western, my mom loves Motown, 50s rock, and acts like the Beatles, my dad loves blues, soul, 70s classic rock and the like, and my sister grew up with late 80s/early to mid 90s music. Then I picked up on music on my own starting the late 90s. And it's good that you didn't speak up in that class, you would have been called a racist for questioning their homophobia.

I wanted Dimmu Borgir to be played at our wedding! *TRAGICFACE* Just kidding. Is this the girl who didn't even know what a dick looked like? If so, flummox her by asking what the vagina and clitoris are, where they are, and what they do. ;D Not really a facepalm moment, so I'm reaching here, but I did wince slightly when my mom said to me that she thought BDSM (which she characterized as stuff with whips) was perverse. When I asked, "well, what about tying the other person up?", she said that that was perverse as well. Thanks, Mom.

Is this the girl who didn't even know what a dick looked like? Ja. By the time I typed that other stuff, I forgot that. This girl is in her twenties... and she didn't really know what a penis looked like. They were looking at some nude art. Someone: "His penis looks like a walnut!" Bitch: "What's a walnut?" Someone: "A kind of nut." Bitch: "Is that really what a penis looks like? 'cuz if they do look like that, I'm stayin' far away from any walnuts!" The whole exchange made me want to grab this girl by the hair and slam her face against the table repeatedly until all that was left of her empty, collapsed cranium was a gooey mess that resembled lasagna more than ghetto-bitch cranium. YOU ARE IN YOUR FUCKING MID-TWENTIES AND IN FUCKING COLLEGE. STOP BEING RETARDED OR I WILL HAVE TO CAUSE YOU BODILY HARM.

...Little harsh, dont'cha think? Personally, I'd feel sorry for somebody who knew that little about penises. Or just human anatomy in general.

Well, one time at theatre camp, I was telling my friend about my trip to England. She asked me if anyone else spoke English there.
I told her no, everyone in England only communicates through semaphore. (She did realize what she had just asked after I answered her, though.)
A week or so ago, we had some lady just storm out of the theatre saying she would never come to one of our shows again, and that our show was offensive and anti-Christian. We were performing Godspell. The entire crew facepalmed.
About the huge-ass cross thing, I think the reasoning behind that is "The bigger the cross, the closer to God!"

I was in a shop in Pike Place Market, and the shopkeep says, "Can I help you, sir?" (I was wearing a skirt!)
