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?"

When I worked at directory enquiries and someone called me on Christmas Day to ask how long to cook a turkey

I have brittle asthma, more than once on admission to hospital, I've been asked if really do have asthma.
No, I just pretend I can't breathe for a laugh

I was wracking my brains thinking of the stupidest questions I've ever been asked (there have been many) when I shamefacedly remembered asking one of my husband. We were watching one of the Brosnan Bond films when I had a total brain fart and asked him if invisible cars were real....

I travelled across town to pick up an item that had been advertised in the local paper.

When I finally found the address I told the woman I was buying from that it had been quite hard to find her house. " Oh, did you find it eventually " she asked.

"Miss, can I turn over the page?" Every year by year 7. Gets a bit tedious when they're still asking by October half term...

"Is that the Titanic?" asked by my daughter whilst driving past an old fun ship inland in North Wales.....she was old enough to know better!

Are your eyes real? That's one I get asked a lot. Umm.. yes, definitely real eyes.

Also when DD1 and DS were small I constantly got asked if they were twins because they're both ginger. DD is 2 years older than DS and the first time someone asked he was only about 8 or 9 months old in a pushchair while DD was clearly a toddler running about!

Oh, and when DD2 was a baby a woman insisted I was wrong about her age because she looked too big to be 5 months old. Are you sure she's only 5 months old? I said well I was there at the time so yes! She followed me round mothercare telling me I was probably mistaken 🤨

Two friends are Brother and sister twins

Other Friend - ‘are you identical twins?’

Brother twin - ‘no I’m. A boy she’s a girl’

Nursing a psychotic patient, they rang 999 and complained that the nurses had beheaded them. The officer who spoke to the lady rang me and asked if this has happened (obviously I have no issue with the police checking things out, but clearly the lady she had just spoken to had not been beheaded).

"How did you know my name?" Was the response to a guy who I was serving in an off licence I worked in many years ago. He had Andy tattooed on his knuckle.

When I was in a same sex relationship
"so... which one's the man?"
🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@YesItsMeIDontCare

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

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

Hold up. Wait.

You walk your cat?

That's... Interesting.

Are your dogs the same breed ?

I have a labradoodle and a jack Russel cross small terrier !!!

I was once asked by an American, if England had its own language like France, Spain, Germany etc do, or if we just speak American.

I once asked a friend whether he’d always known his brother.

In my defence, I only met mine when we were both in our twenties.

“are you going to keep it?”

When I told my manager, with a smiling face, that I was pregnant.

Years ago working on a log flume in a fairground - 734th customer that day asks " Is that real water ?"
Boss " No, its artificial water we import from Norway "

I asked DH to make dinner when I needed to work one evening. "What are we having?". "Salmon". "Ok. Where's the salmon?".

I did just stare at him until the penny dropped and he went to the fridge.

My parents live on Anglesey. My DF was stopped by a tourist who asked him how to get to Anglesey.

DF - "You're on Anglesey"
Tourist - "I'm definitely not. Which road do I take?"
DF - "you are definitely on Anglesey. This is Anglesey"
Tourist - "Anglesey is an island"
DF - "yes it is. You're on the island"
Tourist - "No way. I just want to know how to get there"
DF - "unless you came by boat or dropped in by a crane, you have driven across one of two available bridges and are currently on Anglesey"
Tourist - "Welsh people are so rude!"

I'm also a children's book illustrator. I went a school event once. The head teacher greeted me....

"Do you do the pictures first and then get the author to write the story?"

Wow. That would be some task of imagination by the author!

At work -
Customer- ' you know my all inclusive Package ?
Me - yes?
Customer - well can I use it all around the resort for example other bars and restaurants around the town I am staying ?
Me -

DH and I were preparing to take DD1 (5 months old at the time) to visit his family in Australia.

Me: hmm this packing for taking an infant on the plane is pretty hard work.

Friend: yes can imagine. Do they have milk in Australia?

Me:

Very soon after DD was born I received a letter from our gp office saying they had registered her as a patient there. Her name was misspelled on the letter, they had got one letter wrong and it totally changed the name, kind of a Lara/Sara thing.

I called them to set it straight and the receptionist said "Oh... ok, do you want me to change it then?"

No, I want you to keep it like that, I've decided to go with this totally other name now! Seriously.

I once said to dh "I'm off to fill the car up with fuel. Its a lovely day, I might walk there" dh just looked at me. In my defence, I was heavily pregnant and it was hot, baby brain was real!
