And the stupid question award goes to.......

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

"How do you make that backwards b?"

The stuff of legends.

I heard of that, it truly is the stuff of legends. There were some people, strangely enough, trying to defend that person on some website I saw.

Would have made sense to put this in my original post, but here it is.

Spoiler: Screencap lol

So they tried to defend this guy you say?

Yeah, apparently they decided "It's not his fault, it's because the human brain works in a non-linear way so it might appear to him as a backwards b!" which is obviously complete bull, especially since there's a "backwards b" in backwards.

And in "do"

My sentiment exactly.

When im fast asleep, and my mom yells and yells and yells my name until ive woken up. then i get asked "are you awake?"

or when she calls for me from a distance, and when i acknowledge her with a "yes?" she says "are you there?". I'm thinking to myself "no, what you just heard was the void that is occupying the space im standing in that sounds miraculously like your son."

those are just 2 of many legendary questions she does on a regular basis.

In my social studies class a girl asked the teacher if England was a city in France

She's 16 -_-

She also asked if they had birth control in the renaissance...

(sigh)

These memories make me sad. First of all, someone once asked me "is Mt. Everest a celestial object?"...I responded by laughing at them.

Another person asked me, while looking at a globe, to help them find Canada (PS, I live in Canada)...I responded to this one by walking away.

"Why Do Hot Girls hate Losers..."
I was doing some Charity that my mom pushed me to do and some guy came up...
The dude was cool but That just stumped me... Because Its common...

" You have to use those little curved things that you do to make a smiley"
Some girl at my lunch... I quickly Answered "Parentheses?"
She looked at me and tilted her head... Seems she actually didnt know what they were...

"So is Star Wars in... like... space?"
Another girl from my table I got up and left after that question... I never sat there again...

Every day I get customers who are so intent on asking me where to find something that they can't see the item they're looking for in front of them.

Example, today I was setting up a TV on the 'TV wall' and a customer walked right up to me and asked, "Do you not sell TVs anymore?"

I usually just stare at them too dumbfounded to reply. Plus I was always told if you don't have anything nice to say..

Oh my god... Girl from work told me:

"I got My fart gland Removed"

What... an ... Idiot...

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

"did you see that?"
in the cinema

Okay, I fucking hate that question.

"OH MY GOD DID YOU JUST SEE THAT."
"No, dipshit, I paid $9 to stare at the fucking ceiling for two hours. Of course I fucking saw it, the screen is the size of like nine SUVs. How can you possibly miss anything going on up there?"

I've heard too many stupid questions in my life to single out one, though.

I don't know, I watched a movie once and I was watching very carefully for something sneaky to happen, and something very obvious happened in the middle of the screen and I completely missed it. That hated question might even have been asked, but I can't remember. The sad part is I would have had to say "No what happened?". Ughhh.

Edit:

"I got My fart gland Removed"

How?!?!?! My poor brain...

 

[Berethond]

Girl: "Do you have a dollar?"
Me: No.
Girl; "Are you sure?"

I hate that.

"How do you spell orange?"-My sister who is at uni for an accountancy degree.

"how do you spell "one"" I don't know why but my mind wouldn't process it as anything but "won"

"Is Mexican 'Uno' Called One?"

I said this to someone... I guess I was not in the zone...

Post more replies, damnit! I love reading about peoples stupidity.

I might contribute, I guess .. At my class a couple years ago, there was this really stupid person. Let me tell you this. We had been learning about electro for about a year and a half. The first thing they did (Within the first month, actually) was telling us how to connect a socket. Guess what this dumb dude asks. I can only pray that he never becomes a certified electrician.

Also there was theory. He had problems finding an answer, so he asked the teacher. He told him that it was in between these pages (he showed him three pages). He kept looking, and not long after he asked again. This time, the teacher told him specifically what page it was on. Still not enough brain-power. Then the teacher decided to just show him what paragraph he could find the answer in. Get this. The dumb fucker still looks around on several pages, looking for the answer. Asks yet another time. Then the teacher just tells him what part of the paragraph he should quote as the answer. No, he did not manage it this time either. Still he looked about on several pages.

Please let this guy nver become an electrician. It would suck having a house burn down because someone was stupid enough to trust him.

My friend's brother once asked if feathers were contagious. My friend replied, "Yes they are, symptoms include itchiness, clucking and flight."

I believe he meant to ask if they carried diseases, but I was laughing too hard to hear his reasoning.

"You know the nintendo Wii, is it made by Nintendo or playstation?"

...yes, the nintendo wii is made by an unrelated console.

Normally I say that there is no stupid question, but a few of these are unforgivable.
