dumbest question

[mortalsatsuma]

"If a pregnant lady drinks too much water, will the baby drown?" a Year 8 asked that question.

Probably the time in my history class after doing a project on the atomic bomb one of the boys, aged 15, asked "Would America still have the power or money to make those?"
He was serious too and everyone kinda just looked at him like

I do this sometimes and sometimes it happens to me:

- Do you know this guy named Jack?
- Not sure how's he like?
- [insert description of Jack]
- Oh, right, yeah I know him is it Bob?

One of my friends who is 17 repeatedly asks questions that lead us to believe there is something wrong with her.

"Where's the bathroom?" Even though she was looking at the bathroom door.
"Who's Hitler?" Naturally asked right after we got out of history class.

And of course one of my favorites.
Her: "Can you give me a ride home?"
ME: "I guess, where do you live?"
Her: "... I don't know, I thought you would know. Don't you?"

Yeah, made for a fun afternoon.

Sounds more like she's messing with you than being stupid

The shop where I work is directly opposite an Argos store. Most of the time I'm on the hotdog counter out front. Every summer about 20+ people ask me where Argos is even though the shop is directly behind them with a massive sign saying "ARGOS" above the door. I send them round the block and wave at them as they find the store and realise that I screwed them over with directions. That or I simply point and see the feeling of stupidity blossom over their face.

my sister was watching an ice skating show on tv, in which they were using bubbles for some reason. She actually asked me 'wouldn't the bubbles make the ice slippy?' (she was 18 at the time)

After a heavy night of drinking asking the next morning "where am I?" followed by "who am I?" is pretty dumb.

 

[captainwillies]

I was asked "Did the bus come" while waiting for the bus.

If it came, would I still be standing here?

you may have been waiting for a different bus?

yay semantics.

A colleague of mine asked me one very early morning (in the cafeteria of the f*cking workplace!), if I had to work that day!!

Soemeone once asked my history teacher if there was a secret tunnel between Russia and the USA. He replied with, if it's secret why the fuck would I know! Truly hilarious

Also I onced asked a mate if that building was a wizards prison. I meant to say womens but I must have had wizards on the brain. I still hear about it, four years on.

mine was: "where is the melbourne cup held".

for those who dont know melbourne is a city in Australia and one of the main ones if you live in Australia you know what melbourne is.

and for those that are a bit thick its like asking where is the london cup held

Were they Australian or foreign? And where were you when the question was asked? Contextually they could mean where specifically in Melbourne was it held.

 

[Jewrean]

So it is safe to assume by that logic that Australians don't know where New York City is?

While I know your pointing out the flaw in his logic, I'd just like to say that Australians know almost everything about America seeming as all of your television is exported here for the masses to see. Our television and culture is hardly known about in America.

This is HEAPS funny by the way:

[Supernatural Girl]

Not some of mine, but a friend works at a school and these are the highlights of a conversation one day. 14-16 years olds.

- "I thought Europe was a country"
- "What's a county?" "Lincolnshire is a county" "Ohh, I just thought they were spelling country wrong."


I had a friend who guessed that the country above America was "Canadia" and asked if it was part of America.

 

[tehbeard]

tl;dr.

"Those eastern europeans, were are they coming from?"

Internet points to whoever knows were this is from
