What do you think is one of the dumbest questions someone ever asked you?

Our young city cousin was visiting us on the farm one winter and. came over where we were feeling the cows some hay. With a puzzled look on her face she asked "where did you get all the grass?".

Innocently dumb.

    I can answer that if you make it manageable.  It happens SO often.   How about this week?

    Some woman I work with left me a note.  It said "Why didn't you clean up this room, you Fking pig?"   The reason this was so dumb was because she said this to ME.  That was not healthy.

    On my massage table.   She leaves that note.  This is a classy joint, this is not some dive.  This is totally illegal and harassment and the idiot has the audacity to leave it in writing.

    So, I turned the note in.

    I also confronted her the next time I ran into her.  She says "hello" like she doesn't know what she did.  I said, you called me a fking pig.  She says, I called someone a fking pig, yes.

    I said:  I am not calling someone.  I am calling you a FKING fat CNT. 

    I like to explain by example why I find an action so offensive.  The only way I can get my point across is to let them feel what they did to me to piss me off.

    No would never label anyone or any questions as "dumb".   Because I would only be condemning myself.

  • My boss has walked into my office and seen me sitting at my desk eating a salad and reading a book and said "Oh, are you on lunch?"

    That is not a stupid question.  This is designed for a specific purpose that only a sneaky boss would insinuate upon you.

    1.  He sees you. 
    2. He is watching to see how long and when you will return to work.
    3.  He is subtle and enforcing the fact that YOU CANNOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE ON LUNCH.

    He is trying to screw with your serenity and ability to digest.

    My students would often ask me what time it was. I would tell them to turn around and look at the clock.

    I guess that they figured they could save the effort since you are staring in that direction already.

    Did you teach remedial chemistry or something?

    How can you get to chemistry and not even be able to tell time?

    She may have been dyslexic.  And/or an idiot to boot.

    Persons with a touch of dyslexia may not be able to figure out how to tell time from a clock face. This post was edited by Kittigate at February 26, 2019 10:28 AM MST

    Oh, Kitty, that is so RIGHT.  I totally forgot the compassion aspect in this.  

    She may have a disorder.  

    I am so used to kids being lazy (and I don't mean KIDS THESE DAYS... I mean me as a kid too) that I forgot that there may have been a valid reason. 

    Don't JUDGE people, SHARON.  Thank you, K.

    I was a waitress in my past life and I never had anyone ask that.


    WTF?  You guys should make a fun thing out of it and have samples for them to try.  Or tell them for a quarter they can have a bite.

  • "Dark meat is the meat stained in the blood from the time of the kill.  White meat is where we've bleached it so you don't see the blood."

    Chicken wings are white meat.

    The difference between white and dark meat is attributed to the amount of myoglobin in birds' muscles. Myoglobin is stored in muscles that get extended or sustained use or exercise because these muscles require more oxygen than muscles that are not subject to such extended exercise. The more exercise a muscle gets, the higher the concentration of myoglobin. The modern domesticated chicken is basically flightless. As a result, the breast and wings get very little activity, if any, and have reduced levels of myoglobin. In flying fowl such as duck, the breast and wing muscles get much more exercise, and as a result, meat from ducks is basically all dark meat.

    The first time I had a customer order wine after finishing an oil and vinegar salad would be the end of that career---I do not tolerate ignorance or fools gladly.
