Thick people

[sonlypuppyfat]

Most evenings DD sits in the front garden letting her pet rabbit run around the lawn. He is a normal shaped rabbit black with sticking up ears. Two young boys around 15 or so walked past and one asked what sort of dog it was

Does anyone else have any good examples of thickness!

I am trying to think.

I have two teenagers and they must have said something really stupid!

To be honest, I'm far from "thick" but have said stupid things in my time.

Hands up anyone who hasn't.

I thought 'on aggregrate' meant the surface the football was played on. Like astroturf or something. But I am happy to be thick about football.

Presume the teenagers were being sarcastic

I’m pretty sure they were joking. It’s a pretty standard joke to make.

Multiple people have asked why I walk a goat on a lead. They were very serious.

It’s a greyhound.

Just googled ‘on aggregate’

Who knew 😃

My dad has worked in his trade since he was 16 and is now 58, so he has had his fair share of apprentices over the years. One in particular was totally lacking in sense.

My dad was laying (humane) mouse traps. Apprentice appears at his back, loudly chewing gum.

Apprentice: "What's that?"
Dad: "A mouse trap."
Apprentice: "For what?"
Dad: "What do you think?"
Apprentice: "Dunno... badgers?"

I wouldn't like to see a mouse the size of a badger!

Thanks Apple that makes me feel better you didn't automatically know.

I want to see a badger the size of a mouse- so cute

I thought that fertiliser bombs were made using manure.

There are lots of 'what kind of dog is that'? 'What kind of cat is that'? Memes around. Might have been a joke. I think it comes from Borat.

But a badger the size of a mouse would be very cute!

Yes, a badger the size of a mouse would be lovely

"At what stage of a grasshopper's life does it turn into a butterfly?"

Yes. That was me. I have no fucking idea why.

It's a joke? Oh bother I feel thick now

I had a good friend who had had unprotected sex the night before. When I asked her what she was thinking she said "it's fine because we did it from behind" 😖

Yes, Borat!

My totally lovely DiL 'Do cockerels lay eggs too?'

And heard on CDWM 'So lamb comes from a pig then?'

My young grandson. He's 18 now. He asked/asks the most stupidest of questions all the time. Here's a few eg's

Were you alive when there was dinosaurs on the planet?

One of the oldest known trees in our city stands at the end of our street. Were you alive when it was planted?

Were you a young child in the Victorian times?

Mmm. There's a trend me thinks. I'm not old. My Dd had her 2 children before she was 19. Hohum

I used to work in a nursery and after a day off I came back to find little plant pots on the window sill. I asked what we had growing and the room leader replied ‘pepper’.
I asked how you could see pepper growing as it was just little black dots mixed in with the soil. It took a while for her to compose herself enough to explain that she meant actual peppers. in my defence, if she would have said ‘peppers’ I would have known straight away.

I think mines more a sign of the times rather than actual thick but I've just come home from a trip to WH Smith's to look for some nice writing paper to write a letter for my daughter.
As I couldn't see where it was I asked and assistant who looked blankly at me and questioned 'writing paper?' I explained, 'yes, nice paper, to write a letter on', she was mumbling 'writing paper, writing paper' over and over and eventually took me to the A4, printer paper! 🤦‍♀️ when I said, 'no, this is for printing, writing paper is for writing, with a pen', she told me she doesn't think they sell that! She then went and asked a colleague who directed me to the correct place. As it happened it was a woefully small display but I still feel a little sad that someone who looked at least to be in her early 30's had no idea what writing paper was!

I should add, I'm not even a big letter writer myself, but I like to think I will always show my children what a nice letter looks like!

My friend thought people in a different time zone were actually in the future. During the recent World Cup her partner was working in a country an hour ahead of the uk, she wanted to phone him at half time to find out the final score.
She is 39 and her job is organising international shipping.
