Stupid things people ask you

When people see me walking about in town on a Tuesday afternoon and ask
"Not at work?"
"Yep, I'm a pavement tester"
After you tell them you're going on holiday
"Anywhere nice?"
" No, I booked a fortnight being sewn into a bag of boil dressings" |

"I get asked why have you got such a good English accent.
I answer I watch too much Benny Hill when I was a kid. And Most probably it’s because I was bloody Born here "
Weren't a lot of Benny Hill sketches silent ? |

Due to a birth defect,I'm blind in my left eye. But if at any Eye Hosputal, nurses insist on testing my sight but never listen to me & when I say I can't see anything with the faulty eye, they invariably ask, "Do you know you have a problem with that eye?"
DOH!  |

"do you work here??"
Whilst I'm wearing my uniform with name badge and actively in the middle of doing something that only a member of staff would be doing.
I really have to try very hard not to reply sarcastically.  |

"'Yeah, but where are you *really* from?'
You could say it's stupid, I'll just call it annoying.
Tell them Wigan. No-one really wants to confess to being from Wigan "
Oh, if I start speaking with a funny accent too, I'm in real trouble! |

I was actually asked this, by a Senior Registrar, at a hospital ball…
“You know you’re into heavy metal and things like that, are you also into, like, self harming?”
He actually made cutting movements to his thighs as he said it!
I just laughed, and said “no”. Tbf he was a tad tipsy, but it also shows, that even highly intelligent people can believe silly stereotypes.
I still find it amusing, all these years later xx |

"Once organised a buffet at work and I offered a girl from accounts some chicken wings
"Oh, er, I'm not sure" she hesitated, "are they the front or back legs?""
That reminds me of the time a customer asked me if "Chicken of the Sea" brand of canned tuna was actually chicken. |

Slipping effortlessly into QI mode...
They're were invented in the city of Buffalo in upstate New York.
But yes they're chicken |

Hello Michigan! Was thinking that's a very American reply. Most Brits on here won't have come across Chicken of the Sea before.
Well amusing though! |

I hate it when people ask me for directions.
Am I a bloody atlas? At any given time, it’s highly likely that I don’t know where the hell I am either and besides, I am utterly crap at describing how to get somewhere at any rate.
‘Go to the end of this road and turn left….then ask some other random bugger the same question.’ |

My husband gets irritated when he's out and about with his identical twin brother (and the really are identical!) and you get people asking - wait for it - "Are you two twins".
One time, I heard him say "No, we're married" when he was asked it when in a rather grumpy mood.  |
