Was called behind after Maths today;

Teacher: Your attitude is disgusting Tom; you never do the work
Me: I finished all the work today miss
Teacher: But you were talking
Me: Yeah, after I finished the work, the person I was talkin to had aswell
Teacher: So if someone was sedated, I could kill them?

"What time is it there?"

I always reply by telling them the time an then asking "Why? What time is it there?"



I don't know about idiotic questions other people ask though.

Maybe he was referring to the handle of the mirror?

People who call you on your landline and then ask 'Where are you?'.

Where the f*** do you think I am?

When you tell someone something shocking and they go:

"What?"

You then say "Did you not hear me?"

and they say: "Obviously, thats a stupid question."

The above is the definition of hypocritical.

I have a confession to make. I secretly love these kinds of idiotic questions. Especially if its first thing in the morning, kinda sets me up for the day. If you get one of these little nuggets, make sure the sarcastic tone is slow so venomous it singes off all their body hair.

No it was Micheal Crawford.

A friend had wanted to order a dvd boxed set of Some Mothers Do Ave Em after hearing that *your man that sang Phantom of the Opera was in it.( Fathers day coming up and all that.
She couldn't remember Crawfords name from Phantom but could remember her dad saying he loved him in Some Mothers.
Go figure how I was supposed to get that.

Hobbling out of A&E on crutches which has the usual gathering of village idiots.
Village idiot: Ahhh is your leg sore? (like she was asking a three year old)
Me: What makes you ask that?
Village idiot: Sure you're on crutches.
Me: Am I? Jaysus our health system is really gone to the dogs, I came in with a broken arm.

What makes it worse is that she looked at my arm. Back to the village, idiot.

The most idiotic question I've ever encountered is the one on the US Immigration Form.

Q. Is it your intention to overthrow the Government
of the United States by force?

I agree. You can either choose yes or no. But the above is very much a "maybe" scenario; one of those "if I get thrown out of vegas for excessive use of hookers and drugs, then I might" decisions.

I'll take the gravy on the meat & parsley sauce on the veg, thanks.

By the way is that organic chicken you use? Is the chicken steamed? Are the veg steamed?
I can't have any fat on the chicken or veg & they both have to be steamed, but I will accept the gravy & parsley sauce, thank you.

Well i work in a tourist office during summet so i get quite a few but the most ridiculous question i ever got was from these 2 americans.

"Where can we buy irish grass?"
"Ah sorry"
"Is there any shop around here that sells irish grass"

I was ready to laugh so i told them i'd find out, went around the back and told everyone else... finally went back out to them and told them they could go outside and pick some if they wanted...

i thought it was hilarious

Have a hunt around on Youtube or some such for a routine by comedian Bill Engvall. The skit is entitled 'Here's your sign', and is a review of really stupid, obvious questions that have been asked of people.

I think you've been over there too long, you are now officially a red neck. (the skit is still funny though.)

'Usually half 10.'

ccosgrave

I hate to give out about my parents, but I'm so often asked while I'm eating a snack, "Are you having something to eat there, ccosgrave?" or "Are you hungry, ccosgrave?" It's not even the fact that it's a stupid question that annoys me, but it's the fact that there is absolutely no way to respond that without sounding like an unsocial tool who refuses to carry a conversation. Basically, all I can say in response is, "Yep." There's simply no other reply to that question and I hate the fact that they must think that it's a decent attempt at conversation.

I find that it's only that particular scenario in which it pisses me off. Other questions like, "Are you doing some computering there?" or "Are you heading off?" don't bother me at all compared to how I feel about the food questions.

the sister once asked me what date it was.

Instead of laughing at them with your mates, you could have gone out and picked some grass and sold it to them for 50 quid???

How would you feel if they were not there tomorrow to converse with you because they care about you?
