Dear readers,

Today is World Diabetes Day! Diabetes is a medical condition where your blood sugar levels are too high, and it affects over 400 million people worldwide! Today is a day to educate yourself about prevention and treatment, and to honor the doctors and nurses who help make life easier for people with diabetes.

But hey. We’re not doctors. We’re editors! Our specialty is finding you great stories about stupid people, mean people, and confused people. So here are ten stories we’ve pulled from our archives about those people and how they respond when faced with diabetic people! Enjoy… people!

What A Diabeetus, Part 2 – This person is so wrong in so many ways.

Projecting A Sales Career – This kid has a great future ahead of her.

Pancakes Can Cure All – What a good boss! Also, I really want pancakes now.

Dear readers,

Languages are amazing, and knowing several has huge advantages. Sometimes not knowing the right word for something can result in a hilarious misunderstanding. Other times, someone’s aversion to a foreign language can explode into full-blown racism. Over the years at Not Always Right, we’ve been told tales of all kinds, and so we’ve rounded up nine of them for you here today.

So please enjoy, disfrutar, 请享用, 즐겨, 楽しい, genießen, அனுபவி, régalez-vous, आनंद लेना, and apreciar this roundup!

Coriander Kimchi – Suddenly, everything tastes like soap.

Acting Nutty – Okay, now that’s just plain adorable.

Babel-ing On – Hits from the comments: “Apparently, I’m reasonably fluent in Idiot.”

Dear readers,

It’s a crazy time in the world right now, so we’re going to leave it all behind for a day and go look at some amazing animals at the zoo! Unfortunately, zoos also have to deal with entitled and clueless customers as much as any other place. Some of the stories we have received make us wonder if the animals in the exhibit have more intelligence than the guests gawping at them.

We’ve rounded up ten stories about clueless customers at the zoo. We often tell these types of stories, but these customers are different animals entirely!

Doesn’t Take A Genus – If by “close,” you mean they’re both mammals, I guess you’re right.

Bird Brained, Part 7 – This is why we fear for the future of our world. Sigh.

Noah’s Nondescript Ark – Hits from the comments: “Sounds like there wouldn’t be that much to read, so it probably isn’t that hard.”

Dear readers,

We’d like to wish all of our readers, but especially those who are serving, have served, or are family members of those serving and served, a happy Veteran’s Day!

In honor of their sacrifice, we’ve rounded up eighteen stories from our archives about awesome veterans, Veteran’s Day, and a few examples of why you shouldn’t disrespect the uniform. Take care, and thank you for your service.

It Marches In The Family – Their family gatherings must be fascinating!

Bagged Himself A Steal – Thank you for your service and your clothesline!

Once A Marine, Always A Marine – It takes more than physical strength to be a Marine.

Dear Readers,

We had so much fun with our first roundup about customers who are terrible listeners that we’ve decided to go another round! That, and the fact that the problem is so prevalent that we have a wealth of these kinds of stories to share with you!

So, rounded up below, are eleven more stories about customers whose listening skills leave a lot to be desired!

A Hole In Your Thinking, Part 3 – We’d come up with a pun for this story but it would probably be too cheesy.

Deaf Defying Customers – For some people, not hearing is a choice.

There’s No Such Thing As Half A Dozen Stupid Questions – Hits from the comments: “There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.”
