Airbnb sounded like a horrible idea to me. Who the heck would rent out a single room? Sounded like a recipe for murder.

People streaming themselves playing games.

At first I thought why would anyone want to watch someone else play games that they could play themselves? What about the spoilers?

Yeah, that was way off base

Not a business but I remember working at Travelocity when developers were working on a mobile app and I just said nobody will ever book hotels with their phones. Got that one wrong.

Smash my trash. Why pay someone half of what it cost to empty your dumpster to come and compact the trash to give you a tiny bit of room? Well they target large corporations and sell it as being green. It’s bogus but hey they seem to be doing well.

I still don't understand how Papa Murphys is successful. Their pizza isn't anything special, and you have to bake it yourself... does not compute.

Not a business but a new concept. I was I college and was I introduced to electronic mail (email). At the time we had to hoof it to a computer lab, then log into a green screen and use a text based UI.

I thought, this is the stupidest thing ever…. Obviously I am not a visionary.
