The dumbest questions I've ever encountered were each of the times I was pregnant with my children. I went passed my due date with both of my sons and everyone asked "haven't you had that baby yet?" I finally started replying "why yes I have but I missed the blinding backaches and swollen ankles so much that I tucked a watermelon under my shirt"

And this one takes the cake. I got a new cell phone number so I texted it to my ex husband so he would change it in his contact list. He calls me, I pick up the phone, say hello and he actually said "is this your new phone number?" :laugh: :laugh: Um yeah judging by the fact that you did hear my voice on the other end, I'm thinking you have mastered the cell phone...

My husband who is an IT gets the best ones at work...

Employee: This web site is not working
Hubby: You left out a w in www, just add it
Employee: ok, where should I add it
Hubby: *sigh*

Another...

At a company meeting, presenter puts up a slide of "on this day" and the years of the events are 1909, 1945, 1958, 1967, 1981, 2003. Hubby speaks up and says, "I have only been alive for one of those." Dead serious a woman says "really, which one?"

:noway:

I came home in the midst of a downpour one morning.

I walk in the front door and comment to the hubs.."Wow it's really raining"

He says.."Outside?"

I work in a hospital and this was a moment I had while talking to my coworker...

Me: I don't understand! Why would they be giving this person vitamin K when their potassium(K) level is 6.0? I mean, they got some diuretics, so maybe pre-emptively want to prevent it from going low, but they could always supplement later.

Coworker: silently nodding, wide eyed at me

Me: ...Nevermind.. vitamin K is not potassium.

I had this conversation yesterday witha co-worker:

Me: Did you see the procedure was updated to say the address has to verify for 90 days instead of 3 months. Why would they change that and make it a shorter time frame?

Co-worker just looks at me.

Me: OH wait...90 days and 3 months are the same thing. I was thinking 90 days was only a month and a half.

Yes I was off my game yesterday and decided our months are 45 days long.

This is no joke, I have a friend who was eating a bag of dried apricots and on the back of the bag it said "a product of Turkey," and she said, "Aren't apricots fruit? This says they are turkey." WOW!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Yes, didn't you know turkey is a fruit? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I used to teach part time at a local university. On the first day of class I had a student ask me, "How do you want us to spell our names?" UH..... how they are spelled on your birth certificate is fine with me.....

One time a friend, who apparently was very bad at both geography and history looked at me and said "Isn't Pearl Harbor in Japan?"

This is both funny and sad at the same time

I worked as a tour guide on the Alaska Railroadand, two of my favorite where "where does all the snow go during the summer?" and " how far apart are the mile posts?" ( they are EVERY mile btw)

When we decided to move to Alaska, a lawyer friend of my mom's asked, "Are they flying or taking a boat?" My mom said, "They are driving." He said, "Is there a bridge? Isn't Alaska an island?"

I talked to a woman about my children's medical records, and told her that we've moved to Alaska. She responded, "Oh, so this was their last doctor in the states?"

One I got regularly when I worked at a photography studio, was when customers would walk in to pick up their photos and I would hand them to them. They would ask, "How did you know these were mine?"

My husband once asked me if penguins were birds :-/ When I stopped laughing and told him yes, he asked "well how come they have fur?"

As a teenager my family went on a family vacation to myrtle beach. I met a few kids my age and when i told them i was from Canada they replied " Oh, so you can speak Canadian?" I said "Are you serious?" When I realized they weren't joking i turned around and walked away!

My sister-in-law worked as a cashier at a hospital.

A mother was paying up, having just had a baby girl.

My sister-in-law asked what the baby's name was and the mother said that the hospital named her. That the hospital named her. She heard "FAMALI".


When my siste-in-law asked her to spell it, the mother said "its on the pink bracelet they gave her "F-E-M-A-L-E".

Urban legend. Busted! Lol

When I was 19 and 20 I used to do roofing. Now we were working on a large commercial building that had a flat roof that was rubber and there a few different levels to the roof and there were a few places that water puddled, before it reached a drain. One of these puddles of water was near the center of the roof, and since we had 5-6 guys working on the roof that puddle was where everyone peed, since you couldn't be seen from anywhere below. It was easier than climbing down 2 stories...

One of my co-workers Rick, who had been there all week and used the puddle like the rest of us all of a sudden went to his knees in front of the puddle and splashed the water on his face to wash it- then he looked at me and said-

"Is this the same puddle we've been peeing in" I will never forget that.

I once was driving past a hospital with a friend and she asked why there was an ambulance there lol. The same friend told me it gets colder the closer you get to the equator.

Reminds me of a former friend of mine. So we go on this school trip and we're sharing a room. We check in and she goes to take a shower. She comes out and says, uhhhh our shower is leaking. So I go look. She didn't have the shower curtain on the inside of the bathtub. Same friend also thought that Chik-fil-a was a vegetarian place.

my daughter would laugh at me because i though it was chick flicks

Ok, so Im talking to my sister on my cell phone when I start digging through my purse. I begin to panic. My sister says, "what's wrong?" Me: "I can't find my cell phone." My sister just laughed until I figured it out.

So, not a question, but a really dumb moment. lol

Omg I had one more I had to share with you. It wasn't a dumb question but a comment.
My now ex husband and I were driving down the street and for some reason the word 'dumb' comes up.

Ex husband: You know the word dumb doesn't mean stupid. It means unable to speak. That's where the term 'deaf and dumb' comes from. You know...like Anne Frank.
Me: I think you mean Hellen Keller pumpkin.

I worked at Subway in high school. I can't tell you how many times some one asked me how big a six inch was.

if the question came from a male, you should know that some of them don't realistically know what 6 inches looks like, some of them think 6 inches is actually 8 or 9....

When I was a kid I asked what language they spoke in America. When my parents told me it was English, I was adamant they were wrong, after all, Americans have a foreign accent! :blushing:

A dumb answer this time, not from personal experience but there was a Reality TV edition of the game show 'Weakest Link' screened a few years ago.

The reason I mention such an obscurity is that one of the contestants, Charley, (a former Big Brother housemate and thick b*tch), was asked what the second tallest mountain peak in the Himalaya range was after Everest?

Her answer: Viagra
