That was hilarious, and something that I would PROBABLY say.
I thought the lyrics to "VIVA LAS VEGAS" were "FEVER LAS VEGAS" and didn't find out otherwise until a drunken Karaoke experience that happened in the last year.

One thing that I had a problem with actually trying to figure out how to do was how to convert feet over to inches in drafting class back in high school. You see, our teacher then would just tell us to draw something without telling us what formula we needed to use to convert. It took me forever to go by and use the blocks on the paper to help figure out the problem. I can say that I blame the teacher for that and that we never had that problem again.
Then there was the problem of learning the multiplication tables in elementary school but that is a completely different story.

Thanks for the laugh OP. I am accustomed to looking like a big dummy ever since I was in a car wreck. I can't remember anything most times and it gets worse if I'm put on the spot. I try not to let it bother me so what if someone thinks I'm stupid. The people who know and love me know otherwise. It's healthy to be able to laugh at yourself and sometimes I am a comedy goldmine.
I never bothered to learn all the presidents names in order or the states capitols but it's ok I went to scholl in Amerika. I have a education disability.

I remember one thing i had a learning gap on. I couldn't figure out why the smoke stack on a steam engine would "puff". I had seen it lots of times in movies and a few times in real life and knew basically how a steam engine works. Whenever the engine would crank up, there would be clouds of smoke puffing out of the stack and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why.
My dad had installed a wood burner in the house and he and I were in the basement stoking the fire.I knew he had grown up around horses and steam engines, so I asked him about that. I was about 15 at the time. He explained that steam is vented up the stack to draw air over the fire and keep it hot. It was like an epiphany to me, but I still remember the "You didn't know that?" look he gave me.

Don't feel bad sweetie, I still don't know my multiplication tables!!!!
So one of my worst ones, was my driving tests. Everyone told me "DO EXACTLY WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR SAYS" over and over. So she gets in the car, we take off. All is going well until we come up to this stop sign. She says "Go STRAIGHT through the stop sign then take a right".
I literally went straight through the stop sign. Without stopping.
I took that test 3 times before I passed and I think I only passed that time out of pity.
Edited to add:
