    It's a highly technical thing, but it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I had to share it.

    I work in the semiconductor design business. I am a layout designer. The circuit designer creates the circuit, I create the physical drawing of the circuit. The circuit communicates to the rest of the world by wires which connect to the chip at special structures called 'bond pads', which are large targets for wires to hit. After the circuit designer does his work and after the layout designer does his work, the fab does its work and eventually the product engineer gets the task of supporting all the activities of mass producing the chip in its package with all its bond wires connected to all its bond pads. One day the product engineer called me to ask, "Is there a bond pad on this chip you don't really need me to connect?"

    I performed marvelously in not laughing out loud. Instead, I said, "I'm just the layout designer, you need to ask that question to the circuit designer".

    I waited a minute and then went to visit the circuit designer. We had a big laugh together.

    The American movies about events in some foreign country, e.g. 19th century Japan, and all native people speak English with fake Japanese accent. The dumbest thing ever

    "Do those stairs go up?"

    I was working at a museum and people would ask where the bathroom was or certain galleries. One day a woman asked me if the stairs went up. Normal stairs.

    This makes me laugh, I work in a library there is a staircase to the lower level, people will stand right in front of the stairs and ask for directions to certain departments. When I say "Downstairs" they point and ask "This way?"

    I was griping to a co-worker about how my supervisor, thinks if your husband makes decent money, why a woman would even work, and how ridiculous I thought that statement was......

    So after I vented about this to my coworker who appeared to agree with me, she then says "so why do you work, your husband makes good money?"

    Not dumb-dumb, just ignorantly cute... when we were discussing the modern wonders of the world last year, my 3rd grader truly thought Chichen-Itza was called "Chicken Pizza". I suspect his parents played a cruel joke lol.
