I have been asked twice (in Germany and the Netherlands) if my country (Spain) has drinkable water. I know that we are poorer but, yes we have drinkable water and also toilets and roads...

A woman asked me why there are so much more cancer deaths and still nobody is calling that a pandemic......... *huge facepalm*

There *are* stupid questions: there is a class of questions/statements that are classified as "not even wrong." These are questions with so many faulty/misunderstood premises that they make no sense. "Why are all bats made of cheese?" "What is the melting point of 3?" "How do yoga mats type?"

I get questions about my red hair a lot. Were you born with that hair color? Is it real? No, I soke my hair in the blood of my enemies every night since I was born. That's why it's red.

Not really. We learn at any age. It's okay to not know something and it doesn't make anyone dumb to not know and want to know. It's sad as hell that people actually think because they know something and someone else doesn't know it or they think someone else should know it. No! There is nothing wrong with not knowing anything and asking about whatever it is so they can know and learn. It's the people that make you feel like s**t for asking that are the problem. It's like a lot of people have forgotten how to treat others. Or they know and just don't care to do better. I'm 35 years old and still learning and not afraid to admit I am ignorant about a lot of things. But I want to learn and do better. Honestly if you think differently, than that speaks to your ignorance as well.

A friend called my home phone (landline) at 2am and asked if I was stuck in traffic.

Stupid questions: "Can we go to the sun if we go at night?"

When I was younger and living in Ottawa (this was mid-80s), I went to see the changing of the guard in front of Parliament. Now, this was a summer day and it was hot and sticky (think 32C/89F but with humidex far more warmer). Everyone is in shorts and tshirts and the poor guards (with wool uniforms and bearskin hat) were just sweating. As I'm watching the procession, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I see a family (mom, dad and 3 kids), all in winter gear (!?!?). It's the dad. "Where's the snow???" Really?!? In July?!? :/ "Uh.. no snow in July.. you'd have to go West to the Rockies or north to the Arctic circle." Huff from dad and they trudge back to the station wagon on the road, with ski rack (and skis) on it.

Don't even let me start with that 😉 My favourite stupid questions (that I was asked): - Where does my password come from? (While the person was asked to come up with the password); - How do you know that green is really green? Maybe it's orange and you are calling it wrong; - I saw a statue on the grave that looked like you, are you sure it's not your grave?

"Do you play basketball?" I get it, i'm above average height õ_õ

At the age of 19, my then boyfriend was shocked that I (a girl) didn't have an adam's apple. I said - well that's why they call it Adam's, only men have it. He said - that's not true, my mom has it, and then ran to the other room to confirm lol. Ofc she didn't have it either, which shocked him too.

This is sad really. I was born and live in the USA...When people learn that I am a Native American, they ask if I live in a tipi. (I am not exaggerating or kidding) There are about 50 reasons why this is ludicrous.

If you think there are no stupid questions you have never been a teacher.

My all time favorite dumb question as a 911 dispatcher is what's the number for 911 asked by someone who's lived in the United States their entire life

If I get a fulwork ad im gonna be so pissed

Several times in my life I was asked if my straightened curly hair stayed straightened after I washed it. I usually responded by asking if their ironed shirt stayed ironed after they washed it.

My niece asked me "How do you know when the water is boiling?" She was 22 at the time.

I worked on a car ferry for 25 years. One day in the mess hall we were talking with the chief steward. She told us that at least twice a year, a passenger would ask her "Has this ship sunk before?" She was getting so annoyed by it that now when someone asks, she answers: "Yes! We sink it twice a year to test the watertight doors!"

New coworker of mine at a restaurant. If someone ordered something, do i bring that? Yes thats how that works. He just took orders and idk waited untill it magically appeared. New definition of waiters?

I work at a DIY store and we make key's. Once I made a key for a woman of her frontdoor and she asked if we had a door where she can try if it fits...
