My story is similar to this one: Got asked by someone at school, "What's that country next to The Netherlands?..." (They knew I have Dutch citizenship). I went through the -correct- answers: Belgium, Germany, (thinking they didn't know exact geography) France? No. They meant Ukraine.

I still have no idea how they got the idea that The Netherlands was anywhere near the Ukraine. I would have been thoroughly confused, if this wasn't normal for people at my school.

"Do you and [your brother] have the same father"?
To be fair, there are people who are in actuality half siblings, but we never use the "half" because to them, they aren't half siblings. This goes for me and my sisters. As far as we're concerned, we're siblings, full stop.

OT: I actually *said* the weirdest/stupidest question I've ever heard. I was 12 the first time I went to Canada and it seemed so.. U.S. like.. and I was kind of freaked out about being in a different country.. so, I asked a clerk at a convenience store, "Do you take Canadian money?"

Oi. He was extremely nice about it, but I felt so stupid the second it was out of my mouth. I think that was probably the first lesson I ever had in "If you're unsure, keep your mouth shut." Haha.

Half of my freshman football team: "Is it called a Boa constrictor or constructor?" (after giving them the obvious answer) "What?! Bullshit! It's totally constructor! You idiot."
I was baffled for a whole minute as to how they could seriously believe that.
I guess I'm just still bitter. :/

This is a gonna be a weird one... My little brother asked me this like 6 months ago.

Him: Would you want to live on an deserted island...

Me: Nope.

Him: with tons of food and water...

Me: Nope.

Him: and magic cards and computers and internet...

Me: No... ?

Him: and a machine that can teleport you off the island and back on and that your friends can also use to come to the island... and you can have mansion with electricity.

Me: I WANT THIS ISLAND.

"Can I feel your hair?"

That was so weird of a question. Hell, I don't even have curly hair or any kind of hair that would warrant the need to "feel it". Just short, brown hair.

"Who is John Lennon?" by a girl I was chatting to online, we were both about 17 at the time as I recall.

Actually I can't decide if that was weirder than the question that followed after I explained that he was in The Beatles and then further explained that they were a band from the 60's and she asked...

"Why do you listen to old music?"

What...I...How can you...Why do...To this day I can't think of an answer that would have been satisfactory to her.

Ok.
Prepare to be amazed.
I once met someone on omegle who asked me this shocking question:
"Gaming, what's that?"
That was the first and only time my jaw literally dropped.

Okay so this question wasn't actually wierd but the way that it was presented was.

I had just paid for a sandwich at subway and stepped away from the counter. The woman behind me looks at me. Now this is a woman I don't know, I have never seen her before in my life, so why she thought it was appropriate to ask me this I don't know.

"Can you drive me to the drug store cause it's too far to walk?" and she pantomimes walking.

Now I'm not sure if she said drug store, cause I swear it sounded like she said dog store but we don't even have a PET store, let alone a "dog" store. So I assume she said drug store but even if she had it still didn't make much sense. There's four places in my town you can get prescriptions, all of them within walking distance from subway, and 2 of them only three buildings down.

More than that, I don't understand why she felt she had to pantomime walking to me as if I didn't understand the concept. Now I live in Texas, we're overrun with people with heritages from Mexico and Spain so it's often that you'll met people who don't speak English.....I am not one of these people. I'm whitey-white-whiter-McWhitesson. I had JUST told the clerk at the counter "Thank you" in clear English.

I quickly said "no" and walked out of the store.

Another good one, it's both question but more a statement, but still felt wierd was that I was at work, serving a male customer in his 30s.

He asks me "Are you married?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"....I'm only 21 and in college." Which I think is a very valid arguement. If you want to get married by or before 21 more power to you, but it is pretty young to be married, especially if you're in college.
His response..."I don't see why that matters. A girl as pretty as you should be married."
Yeah....*shivers*

Well I suppose it is actually true. Closer to France, but still, not that far from Belgium...

OT: My friend being asked by an American tourist; "You have computers!?"

I was speechless; she'd just asked him what he did in his spare time and when he said he played games on his computer, she was partly mystified, partly incredulous. Yes madam, Scotland is not as backward in terms of infrastructure as Braveheart may make out. And that was five years ago. And she was being entirely serious.

Captcha is "magical realism", how fitting

"If we came from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys?"

From a heavily Christian friend of mine who did not really understand the Theory of Evolution. He has since had it explained to him and has accepted it has the truth.

Oh, and in the 6th grade, a girl noticed me writing left-handed and asked me "Is it hard to write like that?" Yes. I go out of my way to write with my left hand, even though the right would be way easier, for absolutely no reason. Because that's just how being left-handed works. And before you say it, it doesn't matter that it was the 6th grade. Right and left-handedness is something that gets figured out in like, the first grade. Oh, and ANOTHER 6th grader (same class, actually) asked me if I knew how to read. And he was serious. Thanks for the vote of confidence, jackass.

Man, fuck the sixth grade.

Hmm.. the weirdest question.
I think the weirdest one I can think of was about a year ago in my Anthropology class.
There was this girl who sat next to me and we usually gabbed a bit before class started.

Now, she was already a bit.. random, but still.
One day, she walks in and sits down next to me like normal.
I say, "Hello~"
She immediately asks, "If you were a man, would you wear boxers or briefs?"
I just tilted my head at her, like.. Did I hear that right?
Then she continues on, "I think I would wear boxers. I would think briefs would be too confining."

I was just.. sort of uncomfortable. Uncomfortable and speechless.

How good is a chainsaw revved up your ass... being held by yourself.

I was asked by a guy 19-20 years old who Gandhi is. After the facepalm I told him to google it. He said he did, but didn't find anything.
