The Stupid Question

[tecknokid900]

Ik It's Happened to you, Heck, it happens to me almost every single day! Your going around minding your own business when you decide to do something, then that person comes up and asks the stupid question," you making Cereal? Your tire blew? ya clapping your hands?" Man, it's so annoying and it happens every day for me, so, I answer sarcastically," no I'm just put this cereal in my bowl to look at, no, my tire just decided blow apart to see if it could put itself back together, no, I'm just dusting my hands off. So I was wondering, What was the most stupid, stupid question you've heard, and how did you answer it?

"What's a Zelda?"
my friend asked me that and i told her it was a form of Mudkip.

Apparently when I was a kid I didn't answer the obvious questions that people asked me such as "Hey kid, whatcha doin?" .. those types of questions adults generally ask little ones in order to strike up a conversation. My dad would tell people "Oh he's just shy, he doesn't really talk that much" which was true, but one night when he asked me why I didn't answer people when they ask me something and I told him "Because they always ask me stupid questions!"

I guess my line of thinking was "Duh, I'm sitting here watching my dad bowl, what the heck does it look like I'm doing?"

Hahahaha, insanity76, that's such a cute funny story. Children are probably the most honest people, no filter and they don't know any better, hah.
One that happens to me a lot is, I'll be at work and a friend or mine, or just someone I knew from high school will come in, and they're all like "OMG you work here?!' like No, I just wear this uniform and help out the staff here for fun ? Another one that bugs me is "Are you serious?!" Clearly I am, or I would have said that I wasn't, seriously. : P

One time, at BestBuy, there was this guy that came up to me and asked "Are there TVs in the TV section?" and I really wanted to reply "NO, the TVs are in the TOASTER section!" I hate it when people ask me stupid questions at work.

One of my ex's was pretty stupid...

For the purpose of this, for those who don't know, London is in the south of England and I'm Manchester, which is the north.

Anyway, we were sat watching a bunch of ducks swimming about one time when we went for a walk. She was looking at the ducks and she just said, "Ben? Why do ducks fly south for the winter? It's just as cold in London."

Damn near wet myself.

She was pretty gullible too. During the two year period I was with her I convinced her that:

1) Pencils are made in Pennsylvania
2) There is meat in breakfast cereal... she was a vegetarian... she wasn't impressed...
3) If you get a crab drunk it will walk forwards
4) The dish Toad in the Hole (a dish from the UK being a Yorkshire pudding with a sausage in the middle) has real toad in it (it doesn't)
5) That there was chicken in chickpeas
6) That the plane we were flying on to Greece was going to do a reverse landing on the runway... as in... land backwards...

Wasn't the brightest, bless her

I hate when I'm drawing somewhere in public, and they will stop and ask me, "Did you draw that?" while I'm actively working on it right in front of them. Idiots...

Okay... so when Micheal Jackson died, there was a bunch of stuff about it everywhere, and a lot of my friends were having a bunch of status updates about it. So, around then, my sister was having a conversation in comments on one of them and it was something like:

Sister: "Micheal Jackson died!"
Friend: "Who's that?"
Sister: "You know... The King of Pop?"
Friend: "No..."
Sister: "He's the artist of 'Beat It'?"
Friend: "What's a Beat It?"

I just find it super hilarious of how clueless this particular friend of hers is. xD I mean, she just recently discovered who the Beatles were, too... Well, I honestly don't even know if Mal (my sister) even replied to that on Facebook, but I know her reply in real life was literally laughing out loud.

 

[Random Person]

I'm not sure the stupidest, but I can think of one that was said recently.

"Hey, can you vouch for me on this application?"

"Oh, are you applying for the open position?"

"No, I just saw this paper and got it for fun."

Another one...

*Walks in carrying laundry in a basket

"Hey. Doing some laundry?"

"No, I just felt like carrying a basket full of clothes."

Another one...

*Pull out sketch book and start drawing

"Oh, you draw pictures?"

"No, not at all."

I'm sure I'll think of more. It happens all the time.

This is one of my favorites.... "Do you work here?"

No, I am just wearing the same uniform and a name tag.....

Everyone one of my jobs that I have had, I have dealt with people. Honestly the stupid questions that I get asked on a daily bases are what keep me going and motivated to work.

So this was back in the 7th grade and I was reading a report I did on Jupiter. At the end I said, "Any questions?"

And this one girl says, "Yeah, if you stood on Jupiter would you sink?"

I kinda sat for a second wondering if she was serious, because I had just explained Jupiter was a gas giant, "No its just a big ball of gas you can't stand on it," I said.

Then she replies, "But if you could stand on it, would you sink?" WHAT!? Dumb man, dumb.

I am not sure if any of you know of the comedian Bill Engvall, but he has a whole slew of these jokes. He uses the punch line: "Here's your sign." I am surprised nobody picked up on this. But yes, if you ever get a chance to check him out he is pretty funny.
