    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.

    Semiconductor Design Comedy is the Best.

    Did you hear the one about the 80 KEV High Voltage Stack?

    @Motorsheen You mean like http://www.iessemiconductorparts.com/products/80-kev-high-voltage-stack/228/ ?


    I laughed so hard that I had milk dripping from my nose.




    .... which is really weird, because I don't drink milk.

    I work in a call center environment, I couldn't pick out the absolute dumbest thing if I wanted to because a majority of it is ridiculousness that spews from the mouths of the customers

    I haven't heard them "say" it but "they" keep asking:
    Where is EVERYONE from?"

    Drives me nuts.

    Something about equality, contraceptives and taking turns taking the pill, she takes it one month and he takes it the next. Alternating.

    Not a specific "said", but this apparent belief that Beyonce is the first woman to have ever conceived...??? I just don't get the attitude that a Christ child/children is being born! ???

    Anyway, my family is terrible with geography, like most Americans I realized. They didn't know what Indonesia is or where it is located. One of them didn't know where New Zealand is located.

    Covfefe

    I noticed that. So often I'd be asked oh New Zealand that's part of Australia right? Ummmm, sure.

    I work at a label printing (stickers!) plant. We ONLY sell within the print industry. I once spoke to a woman who wanted a quote on a 2x4 circle label. :|

    LoL it took some real finesse too verify that what she really wanted was an oval making her request seem super dumb
