was once asked by a waitress in a restraunt I worked 'is the beef stroganof vegetarian friendly?'.

She was quite pretty and nice, if a little dim, so myself and the head chef tried out best not to laugh while explaining that, no, it wasn't.

What's dumb about that? Maybe his girlfriend or mother thought he was mad because he owns loads but he himself thinks he has a normal quantity.

Maybe his name isn't Mark

In the office where I work (and like a lot of two story houses I imagine) when you come in the door (at the bottom of the stairs) you can turn the light on for upstairs. And when you go upstairs there is a light switch to turn on/off the same light.

Anyways the receptionist asks me one day could I check the lights as every time she comes to the top of the stairs and turns on the light switch the lights go off! (after she has hit the light switch downstairs )


To this day she still doesn't get it :rolleyes:

Pouring concrete on a site a few years ago and was asked by an engineer what it was,"Sand" I replied,"ok" he says,"thats grand."Thought the RE was going to pass out laughing behind him.
Worked in a shop when I was younger and was asked by a guy for cat food with no meat as Good Friday was coming up.

Had some laugh reading through this thread.

Worst one I can think of is my friend asking me how big is a 12 inch pizza.

Another one is when you come in the door soaked into the skin and someone asks you "is it raining?"

Great thread, I could easily take over the whole thing and rename it "things wot my girlfriend says"

I'll keep it to two examples though.

While watching Universal Soldier a few years ago she asks "is this based on true events?"

On another occasion while watching footie she asks "is there a premier league for little people?" After a great 20 min conversation I was still at a loss as to what the hell she meant.

Cheers babe. You're a never-ending source of hilarity!

A lady in the shop I work in called me over to ask me a question, she pointed at a cup cake stand which comes in a box with a picture of the stand populated with various cupcakes and muffins, and asks do they come with it?
I was pretty confused with the question and asked sorry what do you mean?
She then pointed at the cupcakes and muffins and asked do they come with the stand?
When I said no, she walked out looking pretty dissapointed.

I was gobsmacked, especially considering the shop I work in clearly sells no food of any kind, just kitchenware and linens.

I was working with a fella before and no word of a lie he had to ring his mother to ask "how do you make weetabix"

I was working as a bank cashier when the euro came in. Customer rings me a few months into 2002 in a panic - looking for French Francs. I told her that they had been superseded by the euro that January.

"What!? I thought the euro was for Ireland only."

I was the one who asked this dumb question.

Standing at a urinal in a pub, fairly bladdered. The guy next to me says my name.

My response was (after looking at him for a few seconds), "who the fnck are you and how do you know my name?"

It was my cousin. He still slags me about it

About 7 or 8 years ago, some friend of my mother's gave her a cd she thought she'd like. My mother didn't have a CD player so I gave her my one. As she's plugging it in in her room she asks me "How do I know when I've to turn the CD over?" Bless!

The Luas is a great spot for stupid questions.

Two older women, staring at my mp3 player (which is smaller than a phone) - "Is that a CD player? Where do you put the CDs in?"

Man with thick Cork accent - "Ye don't get much rain up here, do ye?"

Child - "Is Killaloe bigger than Dublin?"

Woman to a group of friends -
"Where do you get off for Connolly Street?"
"Ehm.. you mean O'Connell Street?"
"Oh, yeah. You can't expect me to know the name of every street in Dublin!"

I worked for a tour operator as one of their overseas resort representatives. One day we had brought 7 bus loads of Irish into a Spanish hotel late one night and the following morning I hosted a welcome meeting for close to 400 people.

The hotel was a 2 star property but our company used their own grading system, keys and falcons, and this particular property was graded 2 key.
In the middle of my welcome meeting this crazy lady came screaming at me on stage that she had to talk to me ASAP it was urgent, so I explained my meeting would only last for another 10 or so minutes but this lady was adamant that I talk to her now and obviously quite upset.

So I interrupted my meeting and took the lady to one side of the stage to talk with her (every one of the 400 heads were now turned staring at us)

The lady then proceeds to fire at me:

Crazy Lady: ”When I booked this holiday it showed 2 keys in the brochure”
Me: ”Yes that is correct; this is graded as a 2key property”
Crazy Lady: ‘’Well when I checked in I only received one key to my room… who has the other key”
Me: ‘’ ….. Speechless…..’’

It was days like this that made me love being a rep!

Bell pepper, also known as sweet pepper
Cultivars of the plant produce fruits in different colors, including red, yellow and orange. The fruit is also frequently consumed in its unripe form, when the fruit is still green

Not so much a stupid question..but more a comment.Years ago when me and my girlfriend first bought a house we were plagued by the phone ringing every night during the week for about two weeks.It would stop after two or three rings each time.Both of us worked full time and were often in bed by that time......being in love etc etc .. by the time either of us got downstairs whoever it was had hung up .....the phone calls were between 9.30 and 10 each night.Eventually having dinner one weekend with her family we mentioned the phonecalls and her younger sister piped up admitting it was her...her reasoning for hanging so quickly was ..if we were awake we would,ve answered the phone fast....and if we were asleep we wouldnt have heard the short ringing time of the phone......
