I like to think there is no such thing as a stupid question but then I see some of the things people post everywhere online and can’t believe the lack of education on simple things we were all taught at school or what should seem common sense yet for some reason isn’t |

I get asked ‘is that it?’ referring to my cock and then I’m really sarcastic with ‘no, it’s my pussy ruining thrust weapon’ and then I get asked another stupid question like ‘when are you leaving?’
In my head anyway.  |

Don't get so many now I'm no longer in the business of educating urchins, but I was rather tickled (well, utterly bemused at first and still to this day if I'm honest) when one lad asked (in regards to hydroelectric dams):
"Why don't they make them waterproof?"
I still can't figure out what he was even asking, or the thought process that led to that question |

"Oh my friend said if Britain is an island could you swim underneath it? "
Not a question, but a different lad said "I only found out England had beaches 2 years ago" - he was 17.
All I could think was "But...but...we're an island?"
Quite sad though. Clearly he'd never been the seaside in his whole life  |

My otherwise intelligent colleague recently asked me if I knew that the sound when you click your fingers is made by your finger hitting the fleshy base of your thumb.
She had previously thought it was the sound of the finger snapping past the mid-thumb knuckle. |

If we’re moving on to the stupid things American tourists ask, I could spend a while on it from my time as a tour guide. I have a few favourites.
You speak really good English, what language do you speak in Scotland?
What’s that? (It was a sheep.) Do they bite?
To me, putting up a sign saying, “(company name) Tours Meeting Point”, wearing (company name) t-shirt: Is this where we meet for (company name) tours? |

I work in the hotel industry, answering dumb questions is my life.
It's when I'm asked where a particular thing is when the answer is literally right in front of their eyes which gets me. |

I live with a 6 year old. About 50% of my day is trying to explain what colour see-through is, that Goths didn’t create the world and that leg-elbows aren’t a thing. |

My visiting friend said "look at that Apache helicopter" and pointed skyward.
I said "there's an airfield over there, it's probably coming in to land".
He said, "it's a bit low isn't it"?

I love stupid questions. They allow me to use the special face I pull, reserved only for stupid questions that involves growling, my eyes rolling up to the sky and a long deep sigh. |

As a tourist in America, I got on a bus and some random dude started chatting - after getting over the initial shock (as someone from the South of England) of a stranger talking to me on public transport, I replied and got the usual "Oh gee, I just love your accent, whereabouts are you from?"
"Ummm...(has he not heard my generic Southern English accent? Where the fuck does he think I'm from? Australia probably...) England?"
"Right! England! Which part?"
"Errr...(he probably hasn't heard of anywhere apart from London, so...) near London"
"London...right, right...is that near Brussels?"
"Ummm...well...it's like an hour away by flight, which is sort of the distance between New York and Washington...so I guess on an American scale...yeah, it kind of *is* near Brussels...(does he even know it's a different country?!?) |

With a career in Hotels spread over 30+ years specialising in Reception Operations, Americans have always shown themselves to be utter dunces at times.
When I was Reception Manager of a hotel in Edinburgh, visiting Yanks often asked on arrival:
Do you have electricity here?
Do you have Television here? (we usually said as we had invented it, we did!).
Why does the traffic drive on the left?
To a Yank in a London hotel on hearing my Scottish accent and when I replied to his query about where I was from, he said...
"Scotland. That's an island off the North English coast, isn't it?" (He was being sincere!).
But the best occurs in many hotels. People arrive on site and follow the signs to Reception. They stand at the desk, where usually there'll be a sign above or built into the frontage identifying what it is and they ask... "Is this Reception?"
Doh! |

In my sons class, when a classmate asked his teacher about an impending eclipse, another kid asked "but sir, why did Obama build space anyway? ".....efforts were made,by fellow students and the exasperated teacher, to understand the boy's twisted logic but.... they completely failed and so they gave up. |

"All questions are a chance to learn
Only if you accept that the answer is correct though  "
And only IF the answer provided is actually correct. Self professed experts on any topic may just be confident, not necessarily correct. |

I don't know....lance WAS on a lot of drugs so his having been to the moon wasn't that far fetched. |

Friends came to visit yesterday. I showed their little girl our tortoise. Amongst other questions, she wanted to know...
Does he take his shell off when he goes to bed?
How do tortoises die?
Cute! |

Some might say that there is no such thing as a stupid question but....When you go up to the counter in a shop,present them with a sandwich,a snickers and a coffee from the machine and they ask 'anything else?', I'd say that qualifies.
I always answer politely,though
It's not the shop workers fault that they are instructed to ask. |

I just went in the petrol station,had a wee got a coffee and a bun and as I was paying (contactless,Seeside ) I was asked THE most daft question.
"Would you like one of these mega bars of Galaxy for only a pound"......do bears s**t in the Vatican?? You're damn right,I might not even make it out of the door before wilting it all in one go.
Well,I've been working ever so hard and I deserve a treat. |
