I get it with people I work with. I was asked to get a pair of trainers by someone in a size 8... "we've only got 10's left"... "can I have a 7 then?" Yeah, I work with some right geniuses.

Hahaha...oh, man. Brain fart right there.

I don't think I've caught a co-worker ask a question like that yet. Most of 'em just do dumb shit. Bagging toxic cleaning products with food and beverages n' whatnot.

...though, now that I think about it, I DO remember a cashier asking me how much a roll of 50 pennies cost. Do the math, genius. One penny equals one cent. 50 pennies equals __ cents. Tough stuff.

I'm sure I've asked my fair share of idiotic questions, though. xD

My half-sister. She's only 11, but I swear she has a mind of a three-year-old.

One day she was signing up for this site called "Friendster" (kinda like Myspace) and as she was filling out the required fields, she stopped and went over to my dad, then asked, "Papa, what country do we live in?"

Now, I don't normally talk out loud when my dad is home, but I was so shocked that I exclaimed, "What?!?!"

Then there was one time when we were all at a dinner table (my dad wasn't home) and were just discussing my dad and my mom and her mom, and then it suddenly dawned on her, and she said something like, "Oh...we have the same dad?"

One time I even got in trouble because I came home from work all exhausted, fixed dinner for everyone at 5:30 p.m...then at 6:45 p.m my stepmom came home and asked her kids if they already ate. My stupid sister said no. I looked at her but didn't say anything. My stepmom got all pissy and fixed dinner yet again. After she went upstairs, I confronted my sister and asked cooly, "So...we didn't eat dinner, huh?" And then she flushed and said, "Ohhhh, I forgot that we ate dinner." And she really meant it too.

Why didn't you say anything? I know if my little 'bro ever did that I'd probably go spare.

Meh, it's hard to explain. My stepmom and I have a very weird relationship. We don't talk to each other unless it's really important or necessary. Usually we'd go for weeks without speaking or acknowledging each other at all.

Anyway, I was already annoyed that night that I didn't feel like saying anything. I have this weird mindset of, "Let her think what she wants, I don't care" attitude. Not healthy, I know. -Shrugs-

But I really don't give a damn.

Ohh boy I have heard SO many stupid questions in my time, but I'm having a hard time remembering any lol.

Although Mitsuki's post reminded me of a time a few months ago when my brother (who is 10) asked me 'Do we live in Northern or Southern Ireland?' ...

It would still have been a stupid question even if he had got the country right.

Oh, this one kinda counts. Today my friend's german teacher came into maths to tell my friend that she had her German speaking test, and when he left my math's teacher said to my friend 'Sprechen sie Deutsch?' ('Do you speak German?'). Lol, I was like 'Well if she doesnt she's gonna have a difficult time...'

back in good ole' high school we were doing presentations on different places, and we were each assigned places, one boy said: "Birmingham is the second biggest country in the world"

o.0

I also had an hour long conversation with him once trying to explain that Tuna was not Dolphin, he couldn't grasp that concept.

That reminds me of one that happened in high school during a biology lesson, we were doing some group reading and the text was about features of organisms. One of my friends were asked to read aloud, so he stood up and read the title "What are the features of an orgasm?"

Idiotic first years amuse me. Today at lunch I had to do prefect duty, basically just kicking the little ones out of the school building. Anyway, this one little retard came in to start bugging me and my friends, and at one point he asked what school we were from..

Jesus Christ, yeah we're actually from the school down the road, we just thought we would guard the doors here.
