dumbest question

[SL33TBL1ND]

I remember this girl in my year 9 geography class, who was the classic stereotypical female airhead. So just to for something to do while the teacher went to get something he just gave us a piece of paper with an outline of Australia and asked us to fill in as much detail as we could. She put Tasmania as the capitol of Victoria and then asked why we where all laughing at her.

"Lol, OP anyone from the US probably wouldn't know."

Yeah, and pray tell what intellectual wonderland it is that you hail from. I'd like to know which nation is so overrun with mind blowing titans of acumen, that they can spare such a cogitative colossus like yourself the necessary time to come into online forums and arrogantly insult the intelligence of over 300 million people. I would have assumed that utilizing your unassailable mental prowess to save the world from morons like those of us who live in the United States would occupy far to much of your time to allow for such well informed and no doubt greatly appreciated social discourse as that which you have brought to this table.

How is that an insult?
It's not unreasonable to not know much about Australia if you don't live there.

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

hahaha. No, wait - are you being serious?

It doesn't take a massively in depth knowledge of the geography of the antipodes to answer the question: "Where is the Melbourne Cup held"
I'll give you a hint: it's not Antarctica

I don't have a great knowledge of European geography, but could take a punt on which towns contain the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

I work at an amusement park, among others in a game where you can win teddy-bears of many different sizes and types, the shelves and everything are FILLED with them.

Some morons ask me what they can win, and they are very serious. I like to point out their stupidity afterwards.

"OMG you're a girl... and you play video games?" While standing in line at Game Stop.

"Whats that red stuff?" - Reffering to Burger Relish...The girl is 18!

"OMG you're a girl... and you play video games?" While standing in line at Game Stop.

I get this a lot. or while looking at games at game stop. Or talking to fluffy hair boy at game stop. or when I worked at game stop........

Yeah, but the question was "Where is the Melbourne cup held?" I think any person with a fair amount of logic can figure that one out.

 

[Johanthemonster666]

Is it a choice? (about my orientation).

I should say something like "Oh yes, I was recruited by the gay version of the Jehovah's Witnesses" -_-
Or if they're open minded, I'll say the stork played The Village People and Cyndi Laumper on his boombox as he dropped me off at the hospital (it was a long flight from the baby factory)


P.S Nope, I've felt this way since puberty(felt crushes for guys since I was a child) and it's a natural inclination... just like with everyone else.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Oh yeah that same girl also thought we should do something about this Hitler person. Not really a question but thought it was worth mentioning.

You robbed that straight from family guy. Shame!

 

[DC1]

My brother asked me, "What's Hitler's last name?"

 

[markisb]

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

I think the Melbourne cup is sometimes held in Auckland.

 

[ciancon]

Dumbest thing i've ever said;

Me: "Hi, i'd like to buy a....um.....oh you know, a cloth....for your face."
Employee: "A facecloth?"
Me: "....yeah."

 

[faspxina]

"I can't find something.
"Where was the last place you had it?"

Well if I knew that...

I understand you can get annoyed by that, but I don't think that's dumbness, usually when people say that they're just trying to help, since they too don't know the answer?

What do you them to say? "I can't find something...", response: "...so?" or "[silence]"

 

[crudus]

"Excuse me, how does this work" *pointing to the soft drink fountain*

Seriously? This person was like 60.
