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.

Haha! I have heard that one from fellow classmates. I am not one of those students though, I am actually a really good student, all A's and all of my teachers love me. That day I was just so done with though and everything went wrong but hey, I kept that rude thought to myself. I have heard a pretty dumb question from a student one time too. Every since kindergarten our schools has had us put our names on upper right hand corner of our paper and a student who was in our district ever since the beggining said "Mr.-------, where do I put my name?" Wow! People sometimes.:D

I've got one. I was in line at Dunkin Donuts and the cashier accepted a half dollar coin from the customer in front of me. After studying it for a few moments, she looked bewilderingly at the customer and asked, "A half dollar...is that still 50 cents?".

I go to Dunkin Donuts for a coffee almost every day. I always order it MILK ONLY. I thought this was the easiest way to order it and the best understood way. Inevitably at least once a week I get someone who asks "You want sugar in that?" ggrrr LOL

Just forgive that lady lol, maybe she's just worried, maybe she thinks that you don't know how to pair up clothes :yelrotflm but yeah, that's annoying.

No she was just being stupid!~!!

:thumbup:Good for you. I commend you for keeping your comment to yourself too. A polite student always makes an impression on me.:)

I teach fifth grade and I sure get some doozie questions from them.:rolleyes: Questions where the only response is What???

Yep! That is where we are heading.
If they don't have a calculator, they can't do it.:eek: grrrrr.

The end of last school year I got custody of my brother and sister my brother is in elementary and my sister is in high school. We moved into a new better district and the beginning of this school year i had problems with the principal and teachers at the high school I went in and they told me i needed to talk with a parent, i said "I'm it I her sister and guardian" the principal looked at me and said "Are you sure?" I'm thinking no no I'm not sure i just like to come into the high school at 800 in the morning and pretend to be someones parent. Okay maybe scrub pants and a university sweatshirt is not the normal dress for parents, but still. I also get asked how old i am when i come in to pick up my brother early for doctors appointments when i say 21 i get told i need a adult to sign him out. i always thought well jeez I'm old enough to drink but not to pick up a kid from school.

Not quite 7000 miles and 1 1/2yrs on my convertible and no squeak yet...And NO they all don't make that sound. LOL

So funny. : ) But I think your problem is that LI has no good dress shops. When I read your story it brought me back to the last wedding I was in 5 yrs ago. The dreaded fittings and how they never seam to get the dress right. Good luck and don't forget the bra next time! :p

I hate it when you go to the supermarket and buy a weeks worth of shopping then the cashier says "do you want a bag for that?"
No its okay I was just planning on juggling it all to the car...

LOL, these are too funny ... I was asked a stupid question yesterday, and immediately thought of this thread ...

I had to call Verizon because my router went dead. Of course they ask the usual "Is it plugged in?" Well, that seemed normal enough since I'm sure a lot of people call when there is no need to. So, I give her the beneift of the doubt. Then, after a few more stupid questions, they determined the router was in fact dead, and they were going to send me out a new one. Then she asks "Do you want me to email you the tracking number?" ... Hmm, now what good would that do if I have no internet? Duh!

Oh my gosh thats funny!!! My IT dept here at work does that all the time. If someone calls to say the internet is not working they ask if that person will email helpdesk! uuummm..... lol

Yeah I brought the right bra when we went back and thank goodness it fit her and she looks so pretty. Her party is next Friday so I will post pictures!!

I am glad I started this thread. It is getting funnier. I just can't handle the stupid questions like when I return something they ask if I bought it there. No I bought it somewhere else. idiot!!

It's the obvious that gets me so maaaddddd!!!. :mad:

LOL that is to funny!
