You too?? Lol I had an owner that wouldn't empty the till, but would take quite a bit out. You could guess how nervous I was at the end of the night trying to balance out the safe. "Oh...yeah I took $200 from the till." YOU COULDN'T HAVE JUST TOLD ME!?

Yup. I was a cop for many many years, once had a woman walk up to me while I was standing, in uniform, next to a marked patrol vehicle--Are you a cop? I glanced back at the car and said, "Nope, stole the car and managed to snag a uniform too." Just open mouthed looked at me.

Lol! That reminds me of a time - seems like centuries ago now - when I used to run a Bulletin Board (commonly known as a BBS - what the internet used to be before there was an internet) called "The REAL CONNECTION" (later called "death... by chocolate") It was a 24 hour job, seven days a week, so when my husband and I went on holidays, we usually got trusted friends in to "house sit" this BBS. Users were able to chat to Sysops (System Operators) and one night our friends received such a chat request. The User quickly picked up that it wasn't me they were (text) chatting to, and asked the friend who she was. She typed in "we're burglars, here to rob the place!" The poor User promptly logged off in confusion! lol! A few days later when we returned I had to explain to said User that the "burglars" were friends of ours, minding the BBS whilst we were away for a couple of days. Luckily the User hadn't called the police - the only reason they hadn't, was because they didn't know where it was

'Oh, you're from Australia? Do you know my niece in New Zealand?' and 'How many miles is it from where you live to Sydney? No, not miles, liters. How many liters is it?'
And when someone I met in a foreign country found out I was Australian, she said, 'Why don't you sound like Hulk Hogan?' I didn't know how to react to this because I had no idea why she would think I would sound like The Hulkster. I was wracking my brain trying to work out what had connected me to the former World Heavyweight champion. Finally, I said, 'Why do you think I should sound like Hulk Hogan?' She said, 'Because he's such a famous Aussie.' We then had a brief argument about the nationality of Hulk Hogan. You may have already made the connection, but it took me ages to realize she was talking about Paul Hogan, aka Crocodile Dundee

There's a nice interview with Paul Hogan where he says that he can't go to a restaurant without the chef coming out from back brandishing his biggest cleaver and saying "That's not a knife!" When the interviewer asks Hogan if he ever gets sick of it, he replies, "Well, it might be the thousandth time I've heard it, but it's the first chance he's had to say it to me". Which is a rather lovely way of looking at it.

I once met up with a friend and a few of her colleagues downtown in front of a public library. Me: I was here earlier today. One of the colleagues: Oh, are you still in college? Me: No. Him: So why do you still go to a library?

My husband's niece, bless her heart, thought that the US Navy only had one ship and the entire Navy shared it. This same niece took a lactose pill because her drink had coconut milk in it. She's a registered nurse.

I have blonde hair, blue eyes, and am very clearly of European decent. I was asked, "Where were you born?" - "Japan." - "But you don't look Japanese." - "Because I'm not Japanese." - *visible confusion*

People still think that there are lions and zebras running in the streets in South Africa. Sometimes tigers, too. We always say tigers aren't indigenous to Africa but then two weeks in a row tigers escaped from sanctuaries here so it's hard to deny.

I'm a little concerned that this isn't even scraping the surface of dumb that most of us experience.

An Aussie here. When I studied in the US in the early 70s, I was asked lots of questions, such as " oh you're an Australian .... how did you get here ... ? Was it by train ?

I was painting a neighbors apartment one time. Walked down to 711 for snacks and smokes and the cashier was like "Oh, you painting something?" as I am standing there with paint all over me from painting the ceiling. Me being the smartass I am and without missing a beat "no, just decided to throw paint all over myself today"

There is this one guy who asked if his battery operated boat were to sink would he get electrocuted from the battery! He wants to be the leader of the USA and idiots are willing to vote for him.

That's not a dumb question. It depends on whether or not the battery casing is damaged, the volatage of the battery, the composition of the water, and any safeguards built into the system.

Most of these are simply people being uneducated or not tech-savvy. There is a difference between stupidity and inexperience/not being knowledgeable on a subject.
