Most stupid question ever asked: Do you want another pint?

No I want to face reality sober, you smeghead. Get to the bloody bar.

It was rather to my surprise that I heard that pints in the US are smaller: that must be a bummer.  It's something to do with wine vs. beer measures or some other historical malarky, but they're only about 80% the size of Imperial measures.

That's nothing. Back in my Sophomore year at high school me and this guy were doing a project on Budhism and he drew a f@cking cross in the middle of the project. When I asked why, he's like, "You know, the symbol of religion?"

*HEAD-DESK*

But seriously, have you ever had somebody ask you, "Wait, isn't Africa a country?" or, "Hey, what's the capital of Africa?" For some reason, people can't put it into their heads that Africa is a CONTINENT with multiple countries in it.

lol reminds me of World Geo, I aced that **** no problem mainly as I love studying maps, been trying to find old world copies from the various ages, and so I ramble..., but back on topic. For the love of god you ask most people to find the State they live in and you'll be lucky if they even find North America. There were a couple of other kids in the class who did Find North Carolina, and only did so and I qoute "Well our state looks like a Gun." An old shirt I had comes to mind "Every day I think people can't get any dumber, and every day I'm proven horribly wrong.".

As to a question, heres one....asked by my Stepdads sister... *while being Swarmed by Fireants as a kid*  Why are you dancing?

I worked at a campground on the west coast of Canada right on the ocean. A woman asked with a straight face if the fog horn was a whale bellowing.

I heard a guy today say that Libya is uprising against Saddam Hussein(sp?) and he's in his mid-twenties. Even adults these days are starting to act like idiots.

I don't know which is sadder the fact that doesn't surprise me or the fact it was said...

It might be a draw between a couple of questions. One that was not asked to me directly but to my friend who works in a computer repair store. A guy asked if the hard drive gets heavier the more stuff that is stored on it. I'm really not sure he was joking either.

And another while at the airport in Chicago a woman from Missouri noticing my English accent starts talking to me about England and she asks me "do people still use candles in England or do you have electric lights yet?" Aparently since she saw it in a movie she assumed we were still in the ages of using horses and carts. I'm sure she would be shocked if she knew where lightbulbs were invented XD

"can this paper shredder cut coloured card?"

once when we were close to closing time I took the money out of the till not currently in use so I could get the change counted and sorted before we close (meaning I'd only have to stay a little past closing since there'd only be one left to do) and as I was taking all the money out of the till someone comes up to that till and asks me "do you work here?"
I really wish I'd given the sarcastic answer that I was robbing the place

[Steel Moon]

I had someone call me once (on the phone.  Have to be clear about that) and before they hung up they asked me what my phone number was.

Well, Swann might have invented lightbulbs but Edison gets the credit because we still don't have electricity in England.  My computer is steam-powered; didn't you say yours was clockwork, or am I thinking of someone else?  Wind-up might be cleaner, but steam is where it's at!

i work at a themepark. back in December a man came up to me and asked we with a straight face if the wild-water ride was open. it was -10°C and it was snowing, what do you think?
i have no idea what that guy was smoking, but i want some of it to.

No one asked me this but it was asked within earshot."Is that a Rhinosarus?" (At the zoo with girlfriend) This women then began vehemently defending the existence of the species she just made up.

The dumbest question I think I ever heard was when I was in college when I was studying political science in 2005. We were having a discussion about the 22nd amendment to the US constitution. This girl asked my professor

"Are term limit only enforceable if they're consecutive terms since Bush was president from 1988 to 1992 before he was elected president in 2000 and last year?"

To be fair, she was a foreign exchange student and like Hell do I know who the president of Tajikistan was at the time but still it was really funny to hear her ask that.

what is the most stupidist question you ever
heard

[blothulfur]

Why do americans want bare arms? says the ex wife.

Couldn't help myself, told her a long story about how us english banned hunting trophies in the states before the war of independance and when they won freedom it was written in the constitution that they all had the right to bear arms trophies hanging on their walls.

Still she got half my house so I suppose the last laughs on me.

Back when I was an exchange student in Canada, I was once chatting with this girl. After we'd talked for a while, I happened to mention that I was an exchange student from Finland. Her response:

"Oh! Do you speak English?"

There is never  one when you work in customer service...

Had a customer ask if they'd be charged for the the electricity they used during a power outage.

Another customer who had just finished discussing her electric bill ask if I could look up her phone bill.

When I worked at a theater a group of kids asked if they could go outside (the theater) and smoke a joint.
