ok so that post office scam thread was hilarious, and i think it deserves its own thread.

until like 4th grade, i thought it was bading suit, not bathing suit.
and until like 2 years ago, i thought mild meant medium

anyone else got their stories?

I used to try to read handwriting/cursive before I was in grade three but couldn't...
so I thought like "Hilroy" was pronounced "Hindi" and stuff like that.
I used to think chinese signs were in japanese, and I would also buy chinese books for my friend who was learning japanese. good thing I learned the difference

I was very recently shocked to discover that the two prongs on a plug are not the same size. 20 years of electricity use and I had never inspected them closely before.

those signs next to elevators that say "Do not use in case of fire" confused me so much. I thought they meant don't use the elevator just in case a fire starts right now. Not, don't use them if there really is a fire.

I cant remeber one for me, but when my little brother was younger he used to think that at a road crossing, instead of waiting for the green man sign, he had to wait for an actual green man to drive by. In a green car.

ponies are generally of different breeds than horses. technically though, I think any fully grown horse under ~14 hands can be called a pony, though most breeds of ponies are considered ponies even if they're over, and some breeds of horses are considered horses even if they're under.

I thought all people wiped their asses standing up until maybe 2 years ago.  I was utterly shocked to find out that some people do it sitting down.

I am 21, so for 19 years I didn't even ONCE, not once, consider it.

Sitting down just seems plain dangerous and completely ineffective.  All you kids who wipe sitting are walking around with dirty asses.

when i was younger my parents would play that "walking in memphis" song and he would say "touchdown in the land of the delta blues" I thought it was a football reference and wondered who played for the delta blues, now i know, that it was really a plane landing in memphis
