What's the dumbest question that someone has asked you?

Somebody asked me years ago, "Where is South Africa?" (This was when we were in elementary school)

 

Once a guy was talking to me about how glad he is not to be a girl and have to put on makeup and said (totally serious) "how do you remember where to put everything? Like how do you remember where mascara goes?" Yes....totally serious I swear! I will never forget that. Ironiclly the guy was gay (in the closet at the time) but years later I saw him at the mall and he was very much out sporting eyeliner! I wanted to ask him how he remembered to put it there. He was the coolest kid....I miss him.

 

While 8 months pregnant with my last child, this guy says " What's wrong with your stomach?"


If you don't already know, you're too stupid for me to explain

 

A guy I had already had sex with asked me if my hair was naturally red.
You would think he could figure it out, am I right???

 

My students always do comprehension questions after we read a story, and these questions are always in their text books. One day one of my sophmores comes up to my desk and asks: "Teacher, what are we going to do?" I replied, "You have to do the After Reading questions on p.329." He looks at me as serious as a heart attack and says, "Do we need the book?" I looked at him in disbelief and said, "You're kidding, right?"

Dumb questions are asked often in this school. Sometimes I marvel at the frequency in which it occurs. When I was home a few months ago in Massachusetts I also got asked where Central America was located. I couldn't believe that!

I've asked something dumber:
I was in the dollar store and I went up to the cashier totally serious and asked "how much is this?" they just tried not to laugh and told me it was a dollar.

The dumbest question ive been asked is "what are you doing?" when its blatantly obvious what i am doing

 

Oh man, these are great. People are so funny

I actually went to the Dollar Tree and got a hula hoop and it was only 49 cents... so things aren't always a dollar there

Actually the Dollar Tree annoys me (except in Oregon) because things aren't really a dollar because of sales tax.

 

Whenever someone asks me that I just stare at them, until they go away.

 

That's a good idea, I think I am going to do that from now on.

 

My cell phone has thing thing where it locks up so it won't dial in your pocket or something. When you push a button it says push 1, 2, 3 to unlock the phone. One time one of my friends was trying to use it and I saw him sitting there, I saw him read it then try to dial a number then he looked and read it
again, outloud, and tried to dial the number again then asked me how to do it.

 

"Is that a wig?"

 

Well, is it?

 

Nay, I say!

 

nay i say! HAHAHA

 

three stupid things from my brother:

1. once my parents were talking about japan and he asks (and im so fucking serious) "isn't that where the great wall of china is?"

2. a few days ago, we were watching the democratic convention on tv and he asks "oh my god! why are there so many conventions?? they didn't have this many last year!"

3. like 10 minutes ago, he was comparing something he watched in a movie (older guy/younger woman romance) to "the real world" and said "in the real world, young guys go out with older women. like ashton kutcher!"

 

There are no dumb questions, only dumb questions.

 

The title of the thread = What's the dumbest question that someone has asked you?

Now, am i just confused or are you a jackass

 

"do you shave your dog like that?"

 

one time i was babysitting and had to run to the store. the stupid kid wouldnt shut up and one guy walked up to me and was like "what the fuck is wrong with your kid?" all i said was "um its not mine" and left.
