What's the silliest question you've ever been asked?

[handbagsatdawn33]

DH :- "I'm going to wash my car. Do you want me to do yours as well?"

His previous best was when I gave him something I'd found in Poundland :- "How much was it?"

Is that a cat? Asked when I'm out walking my cat.

I once looked down and said "Shit. Where's the dog?"

Recently it's been "What did you do at the weekend?"

Bugger all, same as all the other weekends :(

Would you like a glass of wine?

DM "Did you put sugar in my tea?"

Yes DM of course I've put sugar in your tea. You've been drinking sugary tea since before I was born 50 odd years ago. I haven't put salt in your tea either, or anything else for that matter.

She asks every single blooming time I make a cup of tea for her. Whether I make it at my house or at hers.

"Yes I put sugar in" is the standard response. through gritted teeth

I'm an identical twin and used to get asked a lot. Do you like being a twin? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

As a gallery assistant. Painting of underwater wreck. “Oh Wow, did the artist actually paint that underwater?”

Talking about watching the total eclipse of the sun and whether we could observe it in our lunch hour “But it’s during the night isn’t it?”

Selling tickets for a big open air event : “is the venue air conditioned?”

Are you sure coconut milk isn’t dairy?

When I bumped into some of my students in a shopping centre with my daughter when on mat leave...
They looked as equally horrified as me at seeing each other in public.
'Hi Miss, is that your baby?' one of them asked.
For some reason, and to this day, I have absolutely no idea why or what I was thinking when I answered very chirpily 'Oh this? No no, I found her outside and decided to take her for a walk!' And ran off as fast as I could.
Whhhhhhhyyyyyy??? Actually was fairly surprised that no rumours started about me being a baby snatcher...

Aged 8 whilst holidaying in America: 'Whow, you speak English really well!!!'

I can only assume the women thought I was Austrian, rather than Australian??? I only speak English BTW!

Asking patients "what's your date of birth please?"
Patient - "My date of birth?"
Me - in my head "no mine, go on have a guess".

Are they twins?
DDs were in double, side by side buggy. DD1 was 3yo, DD2 was a couple of months.

@TroysMammy I work for a youth group, we frequently get permission forms with either the days date or the parents DOB on!

Fancy a takeaway?

Walking down the street with 5 day old DS in the pram, bumped into acquaintance of DH who asked 'Is he sleeping through yet?'

"Does have special skills like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man?"

And I have been asked it more than once. It's hard to keep being polite.

What's the silliest question you've ever been asked?
That one!

A lad once asked me and my mate:

"Are you sisters?"

"No," we said.

Imbecile.

I have tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

Years ago my boss at the time asked me if he put his ear next to mine whether he would be able to hear it as well

The amount of people that first ask if they’re identical and THEN ask if one is a girl . When they were babies of course, they’re 11 now!

Ex: Is it hers?

Woman at bus stop "what does 24 hours mean?" I said it meant that the bus ran 24 hours a day, so all day and all night. She then asked me "but how long is 24 hours? What does that mean?" And I said that it meant from the same time today until the same time tomorrow, but she really didn't get it. "So from 3 this afternoon until 3 tonight?" Luckily the bus came and she got on but I didn't even though it was my bus because I couldn't face more discussion of the meaning of 24 hours.
