A girl in my geography class asked me "Where is Europe?".

We live in England for god sake. In the end she thought that Europe was a country and the France was the continent. I'm not making this up.

My mom once rang the housephone and then said "are you at home?"

Well shit, it's cordless, but not to that extent mother, you bint.


Another one was from one of my coworkers today. He asked where the paperwork was and went on a huge lecture about how paperwork should be included (I'm only a temp, so maybe he feels he has power over me) - To which I thereby pointed to the box he was holding, to the side that was facing him, where it said in healthy sized permanent marker letters "PAPERWORK IN BOX."

The jackoff.

Also, I find it REALLY annoying when I get seriously injured and people say "Are you OK?"
Heres a clue, if I am bleeding profusely and/or jumping up and down saying "AAAHHHHH J***S F*****G C****T THAT HURT!!" then I am NOT OK.
I was in fetal position on the floor after having fallen. When they asked me "Are you hurt?" I replied "No, this is a weird sexual fetish I have. Please don't tell anyone."

Anything one of my coworkers asks me. God help me she's an idiot.

At one point, she asked me how many pumps of vanilla go into a caramel macchiato. Seven times in one day. And she's been working there long enough that she should have this MEMORIZED.

Maybe she just can't wrap her head around that simple shit, as she's debating the conflicting points Orwell made in several of his novels.


Or she's stupid. I dunno, I like to fool myself.

This isn't the stupidest thing I've heard, but the first thing that comes to mind.

"Are you going down?"

A young woman asked me this when we were on the top floor of the parking garage.

EDIT: I just thought of another one. On Family Feud, A family was asked to name a country that has a good relationship with the US (or something along those lines). Everyone in the family was shouting, "Africa! Say Africa!" But the man of the house knew better. His answer? Europe, of course.

It's on youtube somewhere, it's priceless to see the host's reaction. I believe his response was, "We like Europe. There's a lot of choices there."

"Is the sun a star?"
"What's three times five?"
So bad math skills,and not knowing if the sun is a star or something else means she's dumb?Could just have a problem with numbers.
Well first of all, I think so. But second and more importantly, what about the "you are here" question?

I'm in the car holding a box filled with ice to keep the chowder cool on the way home. The cold is driving me crazy. My mom is sitting right next to me and asks "Is it cold?"

I look at her with a disbelieving look. She asks "Stupid question?" I fight the urge to say "stupid YOU."

Oh,I left it out because...yea I couldn't find a way of thinking that meant she wasn't just being ever so slightly simple.The best I could come up with was something like 'Maybe she thought it was a special kind of...computer...map...thing...' so...yeaa...

so as the title says whats the dumbest question someone has ever asked you

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

Well maybe it is not so dumb :S you know Rio de Janeiro from Brasil right? well there is a party that is Called Rock in Rio and while it did started in Rio it nowoccurs every year in Lisbon Portugal and if i am not mistaken in another 2 or 3 countries!

but btw i really think that one was a stupid question too hehe

In U.S. History class a year or two ago, this one girl in class asked if G.I. Bill was still alive.

I had to punch myself in the gut to avoid guffawing.

My mother and brother come out with some gems every day, but today we had "What is a bee?" after I told her bees have worse stings than wasps, and "Why are you putting on the kettle?", when I had a teabag in my hand, milk beside it and the cup and spoon out. -.-'

The worst, though, had to be a distant cousin of mine in our English class. Doing Shakespeare, we got to the end of 'Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day', and when reading back over it and coming to the line "And often is his gold complexion dimm'd", he shouted at the teacher, "WAIT! WAS SHAKESPEARE GAY?!". Among others, he didn't realise Crooks in Of Mice and Men was black, he didn't know where Europe was on a map, and he had never heard of Leonardo da Vinci, saying, "Was he in Titanic?". This is a 16 year old, in a grammar school.

And not really stupid, more.. said in the wrong way, was when a boy in Biology asked a teacher (petite and SMOKING HOT) who had her finger in a the aorta entry to a cow's heart, which she was prodding with one finger and stretching the skin (as sexy as it sounds), ask, "Could you fit two fingers in there?". Suspended, and the teacher wrote on the report "x asked me if I could finger the cows heart". Laughs were had, especially when he told us of his mother's reaction.

"where lighters made before matches?"
my reply was "to quote dave chappelle; 'you have smoked yourself retarded.'"
May I quote Wikipedia?

"One of the first lighters was invented by a German Chemist named Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner in 1823"

"The first "friction match" was invented by English chemist John Walker in 1826"


Although different sources give different dates for either, that's not such a stupid question.
hhmmm... I did not know that. I feel like quite the fool, now. I would say that maybe she wasn't as dumb as I thought, but she also got her arm stuck in a fence because she wouldn't let go of her binder, and in context of that particular conversation, she was talking specifically about Bic lighters, because her's was taken away in class, which started the conversation. but either way, I suppose I should do my research before I post.

I hate it when people ask stuff like Where is he? When someone is late. Like I know. Kind of a weird post but I just find it so irritating.

After being hooked on call of duty 1 and 2, then buying moh pacific assault, my cousins asks me "We fought the Japaneses in WW2?"

I answered yes, but it was hard to keep a strait face XP.

I got a question:
What would happen if pinokio said "My nose will grow now"?
He is neither telling the truth nor telling a lair.
That's not dumb.... That's genius!

OT: My history class had a lot of dumb questions (Hell, half the football team was in there).... I can't really think of any, but I remember one resulted in my teacher telling the asker and I quote:

"Wear a helmet...."

I loved that class

EDIT: Oh yeah, in anatomy class a girl asked (in the middle of a lecture, on a completely different subject, I might add) "Is your sphincter, like, your butthole?"



EDIT 2: Possibly the stupidist question I've heard (from a 16 year old male) "We (as in the United States) have nukes?"

Thank you thread, you just reminded me of a priceless secondary school moment.

I was talking with a group of mates in Biology class, year 10 I think (14/15 yrs old), and somehow the word cunnilingus came up; you know, as it does. One guy asked what it meant and we wouldn't tell him, we thought he was being intentionally dense. He pushed for an answer but we wouldn't say.

In the end, he put up his hand and asked our female, student teacher.

All sound just ceased and everyone, classroom wide, just stared goggle eyed unable to accept that that had just happened.

Absolutely fan-fucking-tastic memory, thanks again for reminding me.
This girl in my anatomy class (Who I know for a fact has done it) asked our teacher what felatio was....
