Stupid Question of the Day

[Desirée {PL Team}]

Unfortunately, we all probably hear something really stupid at least once a day. It always reminds me of the "Ask a stupid, get a stupid answer" skit that Bill Engvall does.


"I just hate stupid people. They should have to wear signs that just say "I'm Stupid." That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them anything. It would be like, 'Excuse me...oops, never mind. I didn't see your sign.' It's like before my wife and I moved from Texas to California, our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My friend comes over and says, 'Hey, You moving?' 'Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week. Just to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign.'
— Bill Engvall"


I have sisters that are identical twins. I swear, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. my mom and I were out we heard "Oh, are they twins?"
"No, she had one and I had one at the exact same time. It's just a coincidence that they look the same, are the same height, weight, have the same hair color, AND ARE WEARING THE SAME OUTFIT."
Yeahhhh, that one never got old.


What stupid question did you hear today, and what did you REALLY wanna say to them?

I'm in culinary school, and there's this one tard of a person in my class that is ALWAYS asking those "really?" questions...that were literally just answered in explanation. For example: the chef instructor will say:" now season with salt for flavor". and he will literally a nano second later ask: " hey chef, did you season with salt for flavor?"

everyday...it NEVER fails...hes an a****** too so it makes it that much more irritating!

oh man the one i have gotten that i find hilarious is *This is a powder not liquid foundation?when the wind blows is it gonna blow off?*....probably not......

I got that once about England. Some - and apologies for this - Americans asked me if we had cars, electricity and the internet. Seeing as this was on an internet forum about a tv show, I think it answered itself.

I also get the "Do you know you're really tall?" because I'm 6' tall aha

I'm from Montana originally and my favorite question was "Do you guys have electricity out there?"

[Ellie Monster{★}]

I got all kinds of questions, like do you still ride horses everywhere? Do you live in a teepee? It was the worst when I was in New York, so I just started making up stories about my family's covered wagon with electrical outlets! I know that it was mean but really?

My other favorite question, since I have a jack-o-lantern chest piece I either get asked "Is that real" (I'm thinking no I draw it on everyday, dumbass!) or "You must like Halloween, huh?

It's that time of year and I'm getting ready to set up my booth at the comic convention. And I'm already gearing up to keep a pleasant smile on my face when at least once a day someone asks the magical question "Did you draw this?"

What I will really say: "Yes everything you see here was drawn by me."
What I want to say, "Of course a******! You think I like to spend my money renting a booth just to sit around selling someone else's art?"

Foreigners always ask me "Do you stop for tea in the afternoon?". It seems the rest of the world is surprised Britain has moved on since 1964.

I get asked about polar bears and penguins because I'm from Norway. But the most stupid question I get is "Do you like Grease (the movie) a lot?" *sigh*

[Roxie Roulette {★}]

Ahh that old devil! I get the Grease question a lot, or just people that start singing any of the songs in it to me.

I love it when random strangers ask me if I'm wearing a costume or say, "Do you always look like that?" OR one of my favorites is, "Girls in the 50's didn't have tattoos did they?"... No, they didn't, but THIS isn't the 1950's it's 2010!

[Betty Maraschino {Madam}]

ah I hate stupid questions.
personally, I constantly get asked "But WHY do you dress like that?", "Are you trying to dress like your from the 50's?", "Do you dye your hair?" and my personal fave "You would be pretty if you lost weight/dressed normally. Why don't you?"

At work (I work in a bridesmaid dress shop) we always get:
"Do you have swatches?" - No you just have to guess the colour.
"Is the sample my size/colour?" - sweetie, we have one sample of each dress. We have 800 samples. We would have close to 20 000 dresses if we had them in your size and colour.
"Can I order it in the colour I want?" - Nope I was just saying that for s**** and giggles.
"I love your tattoos. What do they mean?" - I'm working, its not really appropriate to tell you about my personal life while I'm trying to sort out your bridesmaids/wedding.
"This only comes in X, will they do it in Y for me?" - NO. your ordering 2, if it was an order of 20 they would maybe think about it if it was a good day and the piggies had grown wings and learned to fly.

And more often than not we have the same conversation:
Do you have style XXXX?
yes, we have the entire collection.
But do you have style ZZZZ?
YES, we have the ENTIRE collection.

that can go on for 10 - 15 min, or until I eventually loose my temper very gracefully


woo! I'm not mad, just a build up of sarcasm normal service will be resumed.

No wai! Wow, that's dumb!

i have my septum pierced, and when i go out anywhere, it never fails. i try my best to be as polite as possible , but they always ask "doesn't that hurt?" .......... unless i'm some sort of masochist, i wouldn't be wearing it if it hurt.

don't even get me started about the Arkansas/country questions i get from people in the online world.
