Keep it clean.

Here's mine.

Was going for a hike. Yesterday. Was wearing Tennis shoes, Tank top and Shorts. As I approached an intersection on the way to the Springwater Trail, I saw a guy looking around. As soon as he saw me, he focussed in and started walking toward me. I was expecting him to ask for a cigarette or change.

He asks: "You have Jumper Cables on You?"

Me (as I pat my shorts): "No. Sorry. Left them in my other pants."

    I am an x-ray tech and get asked stupid questions all the time, lol. My favorite one is after I ask them to lie down on the table and they ask "with my head on the pillow?", haha, gets me every time. There's a handful of people that don't ask for clarification and just go ahead and put their feet on the pillow.

    When I helped my mom take her daycare on a field trip and watched the babies while she took the preschoolers to the bathroom a couple of years ago. “Oh wow, are they all yours?” Yes, I’m apparently some sort of super breeder and had three babies, all of very obviously different races, in a period of less than 6 months.

    my daycare teachers complain about this all the time too!

    Had to be there situation -

    Use to train as a competitive swimmer.
    We had a lil round plastic thing that we would put into our swim caps and it would beep a rhythm.
    One of the younger swimmers asked if it was water proof.

    So, when are you going to try for a girl?

    Um, never. I have my hands completely full with four sons who are all perfectly delightful.

    Oh yes.. hated that question after my 3rd daughter was born. When are you going to try for a boy?

    I get asked "Where is my (random item)?" constantly at home by my family in either an irritated or panicked tone depending on how close to the time to leave for school/work we are. I always think to myself, "Why is it my job to keep track of everybody's stuff??" Maybe more of an irritating question than a dumb question.

    Sadly, I do usually know where it is.

    I am the problem.

    When I had a hot water heater replaced, the guy went in the basement, saw the liter box and asked me if I had a cat.

    I guess he thought it was there for decoration.
