Preserved Topic: what is the most stupid question you've been asked? (Page 2 of 3)

wang - i listed that one already

here's a serious one though - i wasn't asked it myself, but was still around when it was asked.

in a geography lesson - "are these lines of latitude and longitude actually marked on the earth?"

quote:

"Does anybody what cartoons here?"

LOL, I already knew that it was a mistake..."does anybody watch cartoons here?" who knows? my dad don't.

...another case of 're-read your post before posting your posted post'

..Not really a question so much as an ackward situation-

Guy calls tech support-

Me> Thank you for calling -blah, blah, bullshit, blah- How may I help you?
Guy> My computer's on fire, what should I do?
Me> Put it out..

...or how about the lady who told me she's had internet with us for 30 years and she'd never had any problems with her password... "Really? Thirty years, huh? So, it's kinda an international secret that the birthplace of the internet is NOT, as is populaly believed, Berkley, California, but Hick Mountain, Puerto Rico"...

My personal favorite when I was a bookseller, "Do you work here?" NO, I like wearing bright green aprons with a name tag for the hell of it....

Moth: LOL. I'd get that CONSTANTLY at my previous job (I worked as a station attendant at a local gas station).

"Do you work here?"
- No ma'am. I enjoy wearing jeans in the middle of a 103° summer. I enjoy wearing blue jeans that are now black due to bead sealant, grease, oil, and god knows what chemical *that* was. The hole in the ass of the jeans? You don't want to know what that's for. I *love* wearing shirts that wreak of automobile fluids and propane.

One time my wife and I were in a grocery store and these two younge girls, maybe 16 walked up to us, one of them holding a bananna, and said...
"Excuse me, could you tell me which of these kinds of condoms are better?"

Her friend was holding up two different brands of condoms... I promptly looked around for the hidden camera and started laughing, while my wife proceeded to explain to them that the one on the left, the unlubricated one would probably be better since some people are alergic to lubrication....

LOL^^^

Raptor- I can totally sympathize. We had to wear navy blue vests at the station that I worked at. I forgot to take mine off one day when I went shopping at the local Wal-Mart.... And was promptly asked by several patrons, "Excuse me, do you work here?" or "Could you tell me where the <insert item here> is?" I just bit my lip and pointed to my nametag that boldly pronouced my true employer... I thought about taking the vest off, but after a while it was just too much fun. (Not entirely unlike going to the Renaissance festival in costume, just to confuse the mundanes...)

You know what's weird? I'm constantly asked if I work "here." Whatever store I'm in, no matter what I'm wearing, with no name tag on, people always think I work there!

I guess I just have that dead-end mouthbreather look.

"What is the most stupid question that you've been asked?"

Rauthrin:

I'm pretty sure that in order to be a question, you need to use one of these- '?' .

Heh, I didn't notice that, thanks.

Question: "Do you know where Bray Road is?"
Answer: "Arrr, Your standing on it"

Question: "Where's the brisbane river" I was asked this whilst on a ferry, on the brisbane river.

Question: "How much is the $4 lunch special?" I got this at least twice a day working at a local cafe.

So, Drac... have you always been a pirate?

Fair thee warned... there be dragons on Fulton Lane, matee!

Stupid questions, like stupid children, need the most attention...

There are no stupid children..... just other people's kids.

I guess I just have that dead-end mouthbreather look.

^ I always thought that was a joke... that just knocks my faith in humanity down another few notches...

While waiting in the doctors office for eons..finally I was admitted to the inter sanctum...a young nurse started reading through all the possible diseases I may have had. I was answering yes or no. One she asked was if I had ever had prostrate problems? uhm.......what?
I am female. I told her this but still she did not get it........

writes her name down for the future...in case she is in charge of a hospital.

Well, technically a woman can have prostrate problems. (Though not as far as I'm concerned.)

Prostate problems, on the other hand...

Wolfen: I never found out why they didn't simply change it to "press a key".

mahjqa: Could it be the makings of a programmers wicked sense of humor... an effort that would usually be wasted on his delusional attempts of digital mind control so that way he could take over the world though the use of simple morons?

He did. In leetspeak (don´t ask) it says 'spelling error'

When I moved into my 2 story house with a basement my blond sister-in-law asked me where the basement was....I told her it was upstairs.

"Have you done your assignment yet?"
-Like it has only been given to us before that day.
"How do you make the mouse move?"
-move it right, left, down and up. Or maybe check the plug.

For the sake of this thread, the name of the people in question will be altered for privacy reasons.

I have a good friend called Joe Smith, and we usually have to put up with one of the dumbest humans on the planet. Anyway, he was asked this question one day...

"What's your name, Smith?"

Honestly, some people need to remove themselves from the gene pool.

Well, I'm glad someone is willing to stand behind the naked Spaniard...
