"There are no stupid questions..."

I'll bet you don't agree with that one, huh? What's the stupidest question you recall in recent time? Someone at work asked me if I was adopted because I speak Spanish.

 

It's when I worked in customer service.

I was quietly...... to myself, looking and verifying, an irritable customer's (whom was standing next to me) current address on his driver's license so he could pick up his merchandise.

The customer got my attention by tugging on my shirt and asking me...... "do you know how to read?"

The customer was being a totally rude dick, but I still chalk that up as the stupidest question I recall in recent time.

I answered him with...a head shake and a "pfft"

 

there are no stupid questions, only stupid people who pick the wrong times, places, and ways, to ask them.
ask them to yourself, and then, do the research to find real, useful and accurate answers.

and never stop asking the next question, just, don't ask it out loud, to someone else, who's busy looking up answers to their own next questions.

 

Question all stupid questions. It gets me in trouble sometimes, but its fun!

 

anyone know where i can get a left handed hammer?

 

The funniest question I ever saw was on an internet forum, was someone asking where baby turtles get their bigger shells an they grow up, to prevent them from suffocating in their baby shell.
By the time that I got around to hitting the send button on my answer explaining exoskeletons, someone had already replied. "I think they sell them at Walmart".

 

Ha-ha. It is purely a slaters hammer with the claw on the opposite side to prevent you from having to turn it around when pulling the old nails out. Handy when working on a steeply pitched roof, where you need to keep the other hand free to hold things in place. Having to spin the hammer, has resulted in a few hammers being dropped in the past. Not good for people working below!!!!. LOL.

 

"Why are you so quiet?" remains the stupidest question that people can't seem to stop asking me. It implies that I just run with my first thought but just don't say it for some reason. Like you'd understand what I meant if I said "I'm thinking" and I can't just say "You wouldn't understand." Then we'd have to get into one of those awkward deep discussions people hate so much.

 

If it snows in the winter how can the planet be getting hotter?

 

While doing 6 months active duty in the National Guard back in the 50s at Fort Ord in California, a city boy from LA asked me --"who hung the rags on all these trees?"He was referring to the moss on the Oak trees!

 

99% of stupid questions are.

 

I saw a post on another forum a few weeks ago... "How do I post on this forum?"

 

where can i get a bag of earth ground, and a jar of grid leak bias?

 

Why doesn't all the ice melt while the air conditioner is turned off?

I asked this after my brother told me that how an air conditioning unit works is that it is packed with ice cubes and I believed him. I was 20.

 

I lived with two guys from Chicago. I once asked, "Don't you think it's strange having two teams named the Cubs and the Bears? They sound alike to me." The younger one said, "That's 'cause in Chicago they use the same players for the two games. It saves the city a lot of money and the players get to work year 'round."
"Really?"
I believed him until the other guy couldn't hold back laughing anymore.

 

I was sitting in a park one day, nose in a book on physics (so I was already going to be annoyed at being bothered)

a girl, probably about 21 or 22 asked me
"What're ya readin fer?"
not 'what was I reading?' or 'why was I reading that?'
I couldn't help myself
"Because when the aliens come and kidnap people, they take the dumb ones, and I don't know if they have cheeseburgers, so I'd rather stay here."

 

In recent time.......how about this morning.

I have two identical bay window lamps.

4 months ago, I put a brand new bulb in each one of the lamps. Same wattage,volt and lumens.

One just burnt out.
Why did'nt they both burn out? Why just the one?
