I just can't deal with stupid questions!!!
 

I don't know if I'm getting old and cranky or what, but I can't deal with stupid questions.

Yesterday I go with my daughter to try on her sweet 16 dress that was altered. I forget to bring her strapless bra with me as we were going straight from her school.
She tries the dress on, now mind you it's a hot pink strapless short party dress with glitter galore. She left on her black bra that she was wearing to school. The stupid lady asks as my daughter comes out of the dressing room, " is that the bra you are wearing with the dress?" WHAT??? So I chime in, "yeah she is wearing a black bra with straps hanging out the top of her sweet 16 dress".... IDIOT!!!

I just can't handle stupid questions anymore. There is no nice left in me !!

And to boot the dress still doesn't fit and has to be re-done!!

Oh i agree....people just dont think anymore. The other day i went to the mercedes dealership to have my brakes checked cause they were squeeling. The girl at the desk said .."oh yah, they all do that"....so i said "really? they all do that? do you know how stupid that sounds? WHO would buy a car that squeels? " :rolleyes:

When I saw the title of your thread I thought to myself "gee, that's so wrong. There are no stupid questions. Let me see what this thread is about".

But.....you are right. LOL.

Funny. Mine has less than 7000 miles and it squeels too.

Try working at a call center. I work for a company that supplies drs to emergency rooms all across the country. One of my favorites is when I ask for the account number and the person asks: Is it on the bill? Duh. My hubby says i need to tell them to go look behind their commode as that is where we print it.

Sorry to anyone if you have called us and asked that question. It just bugs me.

Another stupid question i hate is when I order a hamburger and they ask if I want cheese on that. If I had wanted cheese on my hamburger I would have order a cheeseburger. I actually posted this on facebook the other day.

I can actually stand up, raise my hand, and say I've asked that! :D

LOL!! I have something similar....I order a cheeseburger ketchup only and they typically will ask if I want the cheese left off as well. ;)

Ya'll crack me up with these even know I totally know what your saying...my favorite expression to the stupid questions is "Duh! You think?"

LOL. I hear it at least 3 times a day and I am only on the phones 5 1/2 hrs a day on weekdays. Sorry about that. We also get people who say the want to add insurance then have to go outside to their vehicles to get their ins card or sometimes their purse for the info. If you want to add insurance you might possible need the ins info! My daughter also works at a call center, her for adt security and we love to share call stories.

I'll have to agree (depending on the bill/material) there are sooo many numbers, and other non-relevant information that finding one's account number can be difficult. I figure as the customer I certainly have the right to ask such a question, particularly if it's a new account and I never had to call about it before.

Did not mean to offend anyone. I have often asked where on the bill the acct number is located, but I guess I have always just figured the acct number would be listed on a bill somewhere. I think the customer has a right to ask any question they want and I am happy to answer any question that is asked. I agree there is too much info on some statements. I often go over the statements line by line with people. Not a problem for me.
But, I am the type of person if I am calling about a bill, I will go over it with a fine tooth comb, writing any info I might need on another piece of paper. That way I can find them easily. I started doing this way before I work where I do.

I loved the bit Bill Engvall, did about stupid people should have to wear a sign that says, "I'm stupid." That way you wouldn't ask them anything & wouldn't rely on them for anything. He ended all of the jokes with -- "Here's your sign!" He had some great comebacks. He had the ones that asked the obvious questions, "So, are you flying a kite?" "Nope, fishing for birds. Here's your sign!" and.. "Pulled into a gas station with a flat tire. The attendant walks out, looks at my truck, looks at me, and asks, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't resist so I said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."

I am pretty sure we could all dispense a few of those signs ourselves!

Then there is the classic Golden Girls question from wide-eyed Rose, "Can I ask a stupid question?" and Dorothy replies...."Better than anyone I know, Rose!" Yep, know a few Rose Nylans. They really can't help it but somedays I'm less tolerant than others.

What is really funny is that I am sure there have been days when I have frustrated someone else and they desparately wanted to give me "the sign" or let me know that I too, could ask a stupid question better than anyone they know." Everything is relative. :D

I love Bill Engvall's comedy I just would like to carry around signs!!! I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt but....it's getting harder as I get older.
The other day I'm standing at the checkout at Costco, starting to write my check so I just have to fill in the amount and the lady asks me, "How are you paying?" WHAT??? Do you see the check book open and the pen in my hand??? Here's your sign!!! lol
I love when I'm standing on the end of the line and someone comes up and asks me if I'm on line. No I'm just standing here!!!

Why people?...WHY?

Ugh! I couldn't agree more! I get so many stupid questions, a lot of them at school. One of my teachers was collecting homework and he gets to me and is like "Did you do you homework?" I so badly wanted to reply with "Nope, I'm just standing here with my blank piece of paper, holding it out to you as your collecting HOMEWORK!!" Many of my questions I do get at school as I said but some come from family members too. There are to many to list!

I sure hope your not one of those students who ask their teacher if they want you to put your name on something, or do we turn this in.:rolleyes: LOL I hear that one almost everyday from someone.
