s/o Stupid Questions

Let's have a contest. What's the dumbest thing anyone as ever asked/said to you?

- I have a cousin who--in her mid-twenties--thought Alaska was an island. Someone mentioned driving there, and she laughed at them for thinking there was a bridge long enough to get to Alaska.

- My BFF's mother was once complaining that that unwrapped Hershey Kisses are more expensive than wrapped ones. BFF said, "yeah, because someone has to sit there and unwrap them all."

- When I was a DC tour guide, I got to the part of the tour when I mentioned that the Washington Monument is 555 feet tall. A woman raised her hand and asked, "so how long is that, like if you laid it on it's side?"

    A girl I worked with asked, "Is there a beach here?".

    We were in a town called B------ Beach.

    i've worked a lot of retail, so there are many, many that come to mind.

    -- is this real chocolate milk, or is this JUST regular milk with chocolate flavouring added?

    -- does this clock count up or down?

    -- me: these are handmade.
    customer: that's really inefficient.

    -- i want espresso beans, not coffee beans.  (espresso beans = coffee beans; they are just ground differently)

    I think I'm usually the one saying the dumb thing. 

    A co-worker once need a currency exchange rate as of a certain date.  She called me to ask how on earth this was possible because every time she checked the rate it had changed a little bit.

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

    "Is this a camping toilet seat?"

    It was a head rest for a massage table

    I had a friend ask me if New Jersey was in Philadephia. She was telling me her friend was on the east coast and she said "He's in New Jersey or Philadelphia or something. Oh Wait! is New Jersey IN Philadelphia?"

    That sticks in my head as the dumbest question ever, but I also had a guy at Bath and Body Works (when I worked there) ask me if he could use aromatherapy lotion as lube because it said the word sensual on the label :/

    multiple times this week, while sitting at my desk working/on the phone/eating lunch, with my name tag on my cube:

    "Are you [*Barbie*]?"

    "nope, I just felt like sitting here using her phone/computer/eating her lunch."

    lady was really indignant about the chocolate milk.  she thought we were trying to pull one over on her.

    -- customer: i'm looking for a really chea--
    me: no.  this is expensive store. 

    -- i also hated the "i'm HILARIOUS" customers.  they were mostly old men who came to a store mostly staffed by young women.  i remember one old guy who came in during the christmas madness and told me to pick the bills out of his wallet.  and there were !hilarious! three dollar bills that i had to pick around.

    This made me LOL and also sad for you, because I imagine you clutched your pearls so hard they broke.

    no, thank goodness. 

    i did have to deal with this old couple once, and i really couldn't stop my mouth.  she wanted a new milk jug.  he asked, "don't we have a milk jug?  why do we need a new one?" 
    she lost it and yelled, "that milk jug is old! i don't want it anymore!  i want a new one!" 
    he looked at me, all wide-eyed.  i said, "doesn't that make you nervous?  what if she says the same thing about you?"

    i also had a guy yell at me, "HOW DARE YOU USE THIS FORUM FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT IT IS FOR, WEDDING WOES" but that's a story for another day.

    My former roommate and I were renting a house, and she asked me where the closest gas station was.

    It was literally one buidling away from where we lived (and we'd been living there for about two months by that point).
