    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 (maybe 2) my aunt was asking me all the standard "what sound does a ___ make?"

    Her: What does a dog say?
    Me: Woof woof
    Her: What does a cat say?
    Me: Meow meow
    ... several more...
    (trying to throw me off) What does a lightning bug say?
    Me: (pause for a few seconds)... Blink blink.
    Her: (silence)

    Also another good one... was maybe 7 and my mom always had us have our own "special" wrapping paper so we could find our gifts quickly. She asked me... "What kind of wrapping do you want on your gifts this year?"... My response, without pause... "Saran" ...

    Fantastic. This would have saved me so much trouble. I used to slice the tape on the wrapping paper with a knife, take a peek, and put fresh tape right over it. Unless you looked closely, you couldn't tell. My parents never knew.

    I was at a friends house and her roommate was making sammies and asked it I wanted one:

    Me: No thanks, I'm gluten intolerant, no wheat/flour.
    Him: It's white bread, you'll be fine.
    Me: hahahaha...wait, seriously?
    Him: White bread isn't made with wheat flour.
    Me: Than what is is made with?
    Him: Regular flour. Shouldn't you know this?
    Me: I...need to leave. Now.

    I was texting back and forth with a friend in Florida. (I'm in the Pacific NW). I texted that it was a beautiful full moon. He texted back, "Oh, is it a full moon there, too?"

    My reply, "Yeah. We are on the same planet."

    I was working at a grocery store, filling the milk box, with a gallon of milk in each hand and was asked "Where is the milk?"

    I said I did not know as I was new and pointed, with the gallon of milk in my hand, to a fellow employee who might be able to help the customer. I was thanked for being helpful and the customer went off to talk to my fellow employee, while I went to the back cooler to LMAO for a bit.

    A few friends and I was in his yard, we saw a little girl on a bike crossing the intersection kinda fast and she got hit by a car (she was alright a few cuts and bruises). He ran inside, grabbed a phone, came back out and asked us "Whats the number to 911".

    When I was maybe 4 or 5 my mom was taking me to her work as we were approaching it
    I said " Where are we going?"
    she replied " Into the underground garage"
    me totally freaked out" Your taking me to Hell !?"

    Another genious moment of mine was again with my mom a few weeks ago she was reading a book
    I asked " what'cha reading?"
    she shows me the book called Constintine or something like that and
    I asked " Is it in English"
    she gave me the you have got to be kidding me look " How else could I be reading it?"

    Not food related, but these two happened at work. (I'm a car insurance claims adjuster)

    "What's an intersection?"

    and

    "What's a windshield?"

    YEAAAAAA INSURANCE!! Commercial Program Underwriter here! Too bad we can't exclude idiocy on our policies eh? :)

    Ps: loving this thread!

    High five fellow insurance folks!

    I work for an insurance department for a Lender..
    I love when people call in and say 'but I have full coverage insurance', ummm no - liability coverage is NOT full coverage...

    Maybe you should READ those documents you are signing when you're all excited about that new car you can't afford to pay insurance on...

    AMEN!
    Thought of another lovely question: 90 year old man reporting his 3rd accident of the DAY: "Do you guys have accident forgiveness?" My co-worker's response to that when I told him: "When a person's age is over the maximum speed limit in the state, they should revoke their license." LOL

    Then I though of a great one from when I worked as a pharmacy tech:
    Woman: "Is it ok if I use the birth control pills on different days than they are named?"
    Me: "What do you mean exactly?"
    Woman: "I've been taking one every time I have sex, but sometimes I have sex more than once a day and I've ran out of Friday and Saturday pills. Can I take the Monday or Tuesday ones on Fridays and Saturdays when I need them?" (She hands me a birth control pill package with random pills popped out)
    Me: *in shock* * "Let me get you a pharmacist...."

    This was an email I got last night, so not sure if this really happened but totally hilarious :flowerforyou:

    MY LAST TRIP TO COSTCO
    Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Jake, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

    What did she think I had an elephant? So because I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

    I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is, to load your pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

    Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's *kitten* and a car hit me.

    I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was Laughing so hard.

    Costco won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the World to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends...it will be their laugh for the day!
