Dumbest question you get asked at work

[jaspurr]

Okay, so after the post on what we do I got thinking about my old days as a real RN which can be very dangerous if it ends up in a reunion with my old budds. Anyway what is the dumbest question you get asked at work.

Picture this I am six foot tall and not to boast but in my opinion Helen Keller could not confuse me as being anything but male, so hear goes, the dumbest question I have ever been asked, and on many occasions:

Are you a male nurse

City Police, how may I assist y.... "Is this the City Police?"... uh, yes... "You're not the County?"... uh... *click*

Yes. That is a regular. Not the dumbest but the most common dumb question. I would have to think which of the others would win the award for that. Things like "Do I need a license to drive a car" or "Can I go to jail if I beat my child" would also rank high on the list.

Wow, I will have to be careful when in Florida for Christmas. 'Excuse me officer, do you play BF2?'

Mine is: Do you charge to do repairs?
My reply: No because I don't have to pay my employees and my child doesn't need to eat.

This reminds me of the woman working in the treasury office at my job... I needed money for the coffee machine so I gave her a 5 euro bill and asked for change (there is no smaller bill for euros than 5 ) and she asks me:

Do you want your change in bills or coins?

I am like... uh..

Years and years ago when I was in high school I use to work part time at Advance Auto. We'd have some real idoits call in searching for parts.

"Thank you for callng Advance Auto, this is Troy, how may I help you?"

"Is this the Vance Store?"

"Yes, how may I help you?"

"I need a water pump."

"Ok, sir, what type of vehicle is it for?"

"A red one."

"What make/model vehicle is it?"

"It's a four-door"

"Sorry, we're all out of stock. If you had a white two-door we could help you out."

I have had people call me and ask how much their diamond is worth. I tell them they will have to bring it in so I can see it. One reply: It is about the size of a dime.

Because I fly 50 seat regional jets and many people bought their tickets to fly on American they are somewhat surprised at the size of the aircraft so I often get "Is this aircraft safe?" Like I would be flying an unsafe airplane.

Not work related but, My GF at the time asked me to go and pick up some conditioner for her at the beauty supply place. I walk in and

Service Lady: Can I help you

Me: Yeah I'm looking for brand X conditioner

Service Lady: Is this for you (like shes about to make some type of recommendations)

Me: Ah no


I had a shaved head at the time.

When giving injections or taking blood samples I get asked 'will it hurt?', to which my standard answer is 'I won't feel a thing'. I do give some reassurance, honestly, eventually MUHAHAHA

I don't get too many odd questions at Target, just the usual "where are light bulbs at?" when we're standing in front of the aisle with light bulbs in it and the words, "Light Bulbs" posted clearly on the end.

Well, since I work at the vet I get more people asking stupid questions, but non are because they are stupid, but because they are worried about their pet/animal.

Same with class, it's more curiosity, and the kids will ask stupid questions just to be funny and waste time.


At my old old old job, my first job, working at a bottle return, I wasn't really asked stupid questions, but just had a bunch of stupid people.

People would take out of order signs off the machine that covers the area where you put the bottle in, and wonder why the machine didn't work.

Also, I worked inside as well facing the aisles in the store, and had a store phone that would ring everytime someone needed help.

If the person was braindead, it would ring about 20 times in 1 minute, because that person thinks I can all of a sudden teleport there.

I however use to get this...


idiot: can I get a handcount (me counting every can)

me: Sorry I can't, company rule you got to put all cans in and I can only count regects (there was a camara looking at me the whole time, and we can get fired for that)

idiot: Please I'm in a hurry, please count these 500 cans for me


What's wrong?? Someone brings 500 cans, immediately asks me to count them out, because they are in a hurry... WHY WOULD YOU GO TO A BOTTLE RETURN IF YOU'RE IN A HURRY!!!
