The most idiotic question you have ever heard?

[ManiacEskimo]

Can i see your wallet?

 

[SLaai_SouS]

A german exchange student asked me and i quote " how can you people have internet if you live in straw houses" as we picked him up at the airport, as a South African i found it funny and also a bit offensive

 

[GrinningManiac]

My sister has said some pretty dumb stuff in her youth, but that's fair enough, and I can't remember any of it.

hmmm...probably any of the thousands of bigoted Rhetoric questions an old friend of mine asks me on a daily basis.
"Why don't they all go back where they came from?" kinda things. I enjoy his questions, because I am the kind of person who, and my other friends will back me up on this, finds no greater joy than emotionally and politically TEARING PEOPLE TO SHREDS.

Plus, he acts a hardman, but even I can beat the crap out of him any day of the week. Sometimes I feel that it is sheer good will that has stopped me killing him

EDIT

'Is dead space set in space' my friend 2 years above me said

 

[Harvey_Danger]

"Hey, do I have infinite homies?"

I will remember, and treasure, that quote forever.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

"How long does it take to drive to London" although this seems reasonable I live in Ireland so any of you who know your geography can understand how it was a silly question.

"How do you spell watermelon?" A girl in my 11th grade English class asked this and she was dead serious. T_T

 

[Kajin]

"Does having Aspergers mean your butt is made of Big Macs?"

I just looked at that guy with disappointment in my eyes. Then again, this guy is taking pre-algebra in his senior year, so obviously he's not the brightest bulb on the tree...

That was most likely a crack.

In Biology in high school, a girl, after a few weeks of studying FOSSILS of DINOSAURS, raised her hand and asked if dinosaurs were real.

That one is a given with creationism being as rampant as it is. Or rather, with idiots who study it being as rampant as they are.

 

[Griphphin]

"Hey, are you reading?"
"Are you ignoring me?"
or the best,
"Are you asleep?"

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Shockingly, (to me), I haven't heard that many stupid questions. Probably the worst was like, "Is Russia a country?"

 

[Tartarga]

Someone at my school asked "Whats Pacman?" I hate the country so much, can't wait to move.

 

[Tucker154]

"Does f@#cking plants give you aids or any kinds of STDs"
...why would you ask that...

 

[Riyka]

everything my driving instructor just asked me...
'When do you use your fog lights?'
i was like...'when it's foggy...'

The guy at work who i sit with...well it's less stupid questions and more stupid statements..
he swore blind that prague was the capital of romania..
The Octupus are fish
and the J.K.Rowling wrote Lord of the Rings (this one almost made me cry..><)

One woman asked me what a PS3 Slim was....(she knows what a PS3 is...)

Another one asked if i could get her file tool bar back on excel (the one with file/veiw/edit etc.) i explained it to her and she went home and came in the next day and THEN supplied me with the information she has Excel 2007...which doesn;t have that tool bar..><

i work in customer service with a group of people who barely know how to type..the list of stupid questions is endless...><

 

[happysock]

What's 1 pound add 1 pound 50?

Asked in the supermarket by my friend trying to add up his shopping before he got to the till

 

[KaiRai]

I once bought a sugar magazine for the problem pages, after one was read aloud in class, and asked if this was acceptable for 11-16 year old girls.

While that in itself is a stupid question, it is NOTHING to what me and my friends found on the problem pages of the next issue. Brace yourself for the power of advertising.

"Is it true, that if you've had unprotected sex, and a boy comes in you, can you abort it by putting coca cola in your vagina? I heard it works but I'm too scared to try it".

Yes people, Coca Cola does abortions now, huzzah! <_<

EDIT:

everything my driving instructor just asked me...
'When do you use your fog lights?'
i was like...'when it's foggy...'

I've had a similar experience.
Instructor:You're driving too close to parked cars, what if that man suddenly opens his door as you're approaching?
Me: He fucking loses his door....

Apparently that's not the right answer, nor should it be chanced with examiners.

"is spanish the same as italian?"
everyone in the common room just stops and looks at her....

 

[Projo]

In Biology in high school, a girl, after a few weeks of studying FOSSILS of DINOSAURS, raised her hand and asked if dinosaurs were real.

I've actually heard this before.

In high school.

Twice.

I recall someone in a French class with me asking about other foreign-language electives. "What's Latin? I don't know anyone from Latvia!" Granted, she's the same girl who tried to convince me that vikings never existed and that America bought Alaska from Canada.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I once asked my mom "How do you spell 'or'?"

My I.Q. tends to drop dramatically during summer breaks.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

"I didn't know albinos were real. I thought they were just something they made up to make fun of in South Park."

O_O

 

[Corpse XxX]

There is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people..
