The Dumbest Things Anyone Has Ever Said To You

Here are the two greatest examples of someone saying something completely stupid to another person.

The first one happened to me.

I was working in a Dunkin Donuts once, and It was fairly early in the morning.
Im waiting behind the counter to help some local schmuck, when he looks at me, and blinks a couple of times and says:

"Hey, Whats in them Lemon filled?"

I just stared back cooly, and deadpanned.

"Lemon."

Wich is even worse that being asked for a dozen "Barbarian Cremes."

Trust me, if they did indeed make Barbarian Cream doughnuts, you wouldnt want one.

But the absolute dumbest thing Ive ever heard anyone say, actually happened to one of by best freinds.
He was working at a Pizza hut, and he was the shift manager.
He took a call from a customer that had a complaint.

This woman called him up to complain that her pizza tasted like bread.

IT IS BREAD!!!!!!


Please feel free to share some stupidity from the rest of humanity.

I've had to make a pizza with no sauce, and half no cheese.

That meant one half was dough and cheese, the other half just dough.

People order some freaking weird pizza

I worked part-time in a convenience store before I became a part-time dealer(blackjack. Get your mind out of the gutter. :p ).

From time-to-time, you would get a dense person who couldn't figure out how to operate a car wash. There is a call-button on the control panel just in front of the car wash.

One day, I got this call on the box:

Me: "Hello? Something I can help with?"

Dummy: "I don't know what to do."

Me: "Did you put your money into the machine?"

Dummy: "Yes."

Me: "Did you select your car wash type?"

Dummy: "Yes."

Me: Then just drive into the car wash and stop on the plate.

Dummy: "Where's the car wash?"

:eek:



Even better:

A patron comes inside and asks how the car wash works. After a short explaination of the automated car wash, he asks..."Does it only wash the outside?"

:eek:

Without missing a beat, I answer: "Only if the windows are closed."

A friend of mine worked in a souvenier store in Helsinki (capital of Finland) harbour. A middleaged American couple came in, walked around and asked : Why the prices are only in marks and euros? (mark was Finland's currency back then) Why they are not in krones?
-eh...Mark is the currency here...
-no no, it's the currency of Finland, We are in Denmark.
-er...We are in Finland
-No, no, little girl, we were there yesterday!

Or, maybe they just knew better...

I was sitting in class, and my teacher had just handed out textbooks with the sheets that you have to fill out your inormation (Name, Class, School, etc.) and this guy just asks loudly "Since when is my school name differnt from my normal name?"

it took him a few different explinations to understand

Or when I was working at a concession "Is this salt?" this question was frequently asked about the salt shaker (With the word "SALT" printed across it so many times that you'd have to be an idiot to miss it)

I was 12 or 13. The teacher was handing out brochures on human sexuality, about changes that are starting to affect our bodies. Or will be pretty soon anyway. When she came to my desk she smiled and said "I'm out of the ones with an apple but here you go!" and handed me the one with a pear.
The ones with an apple were meant for the boys. But we (the boys) found the ones with a pear much more interesting. "My breasts are growing. Is it wrong?" :D

Its supposed to be a Ba*V*arian Creme.

Bavarian. as in German, or Austrian.

Most certainly NOT a Barbarian.

Like Conan, or Attilla the Hun.

Ah, right. That makes a certain amount of sense - the Bavarians like their cream.

I used to work for a community minibus hire firm. Our user groups paid an annual membership, which some groups occasionally allowed to lapse. I asked one group why they hadn't renewed that year. "Oh, we've been everywhere". Which says about all you need to know about the static memership of the local Railway Modellers Club.

Edinburgh has many tourists.
Best questions ever:
"How long is the royal mile?" (actually geniuine it is longer...)
"Why did they build the castle at the top of such a big hill?"
"Wasn't it nice of them to build the castle so close to the shops?"
"Do you build the castle every year for the tattoo?" (yes, we got it from IKEA and it stays flat packed all wingter, we each keep a piece under our couch, mine is one of the turrets)
"Isn't Scotland a town in Engerland?"
"What do you wear under the kilt?"
"Would you like a drink?"
And the all time number 1:
"What time does the one o'clock gun go off?" (5 to one, gives us time to set our watches as Scots are so tight we won't buy a digital one and we're all so thick it takes us 5 minutes to set it from 1am to 1pm)

We were just having a fun time roleplaying (cause we're huge nerds like that; whatcha gonna do about it? :D ), so..

I was an orc, and my brother was like, some human.. monk.. thingy, whatever, and we were adventuring in a swamp. I rush in, eager to get the thing started, when I see some eyes looking out at me in the water. I quickly get back to shore. Then the eyes disappear, and I'm about to go rushing back in when my brother stops me and says, "No! For all we know, they could have their eyes closed!"

Sigh.. I'm tired, and its only eight in the morning :(
Sleepy.. must.. not.. fall back.. asleep.. mrmph..

Damn, I was reading through this thread with a comment in mind, and then I get to this page and realise that it's going to seem terribly unoriginal, but oh well. It's set in London rather than Edinburgh, and features -shockingly enough- an American tourist (looking up at a passing plane, probably full of American tourists): "Aw, why did they build the castle so close to the airport?"

Oh, I have a friend who is great at them. Poor him, he doesn't get what's so funny.

One time, a few friends were staying at my place, and I went out (after a cold and wet night) to fetch the paper that gets delivered to the doorstep every Saturday. My friend looked at me walking inside quizically and says "Why is the newspaper wrapped in plastic?"

Another time, he was convinced himself he wanted to try smoking weed. So we said "Alright mate, but just have a normal ciggie first" "Nah...I might get addicted."

We've got so used to him coming out with things like this that I don't take much notice anymore. A shame. :D

I also work in tech support :) and god how often I have heard that one lol gotten a few of those messages myself


My favorite was this (geeky)

The background … if you have a network spreading worm your port is de activated (shut off at the switch) by a script we have and put into a room disabled list right
(ohh btw the network coordinator for my college … specifically residential halls)
Simple … you have virus it is shut off

We had a girl call and ask “Could you re activate my port I don’t have a virus” I of course said sure … maybe it was her roommate that got it disabled.

But much to my surprise it was not on the list I replied “Mam your computer is not showing up on the list, maybe it is a settings issue rather then a disabled port”

She promptly replies “No its not the plug pushed back up into the box”

Lol (for those of you that didn’t catch it the plate was BROKEN and she thought we had a system that would retract the plug back into the wall if they have a virus … physically open the wall and pull the box into the wall”

This one is not customer service related, geeky or whatnot, so some may not get it.

AT the college I went to, it was well known I was not one that sugarcoated things. One of my friends girlfriends was a mess of a kid. I mean nasty dreadlocked hair knotted up into itself; you could see the lint trapped in it. Overweight in the way that she just poured out of those below-the-belt pants. Dressed like a fashion nightmare and looked like herpes waged a campaign of terror on her skin.

She shows up at mt apartment, and is socializing. Nice enough girl, but anyways. She asks me if I find her cute. I look her dead in the eye and say. "No. You are hygiene-impaired, your face begars description, and your weight is out of control."

She takes a few beats, looks at herself in a mirror, and states "I think it's the legwarmers. It's the legwarmers, right?"

I just left the room.

I used to work at an auto parts store as the counterman.

One day a customer comes into the shop needing a starter. I get all of t he details of the make and model of his car, look up the part number and go back and get out the one he needs. As I hand it to him he says to me, "Is this the right starter for my car?"

It took all of my self control to keep from responding with a comment like "We'll know in an hour..."

Another fellow casually informed me that if the part was wrong he'd come back and kill me. I guess job security isn't enough incentive for some folks...

As a bit of backgroud, this was a few years ago, when the "If you put your religion as Jedi on the census form then it will be a recognised religion" thingy.

Friend 2: There was none

1: Are you sure?

My family was eating at a restaurant called the Training Table. If you've never been there, you place your orders through a phone at the table. Anyway, my brother likes plain burgers (no lettuce, cheese, ketchup, etc) but he was feeling brave. So he orders a bacon burger with nothing on it but the bacon. We wait for our meals, he gets his burger and unwraps it. Placed neatly between the two buns are two slices of bacon, and not a thing more. No lettuce, tomato, ketchup...or beef.

Another time, I was talking to a friend online about Final Fantasy 11. I said I was stopping playing. He asked me, I kid you not, "don't have an internet connection?"

All I could say was "..." "looks around the box."

In Holland we have this thing called a "frikandel speciaal". It's a sort of sausage (the 'frikandel') which you fry, then make a cut through the length of it, and put in union bits, ketchup and mayonaise.


So this friend of mine wanted to get one, but decided to confuse the kid behind the counter.

"Can I get a 'frikandel' with a cut in the middle and union bits and ketchup and mayonaise?"
"You mean a 'frikandel speciaal', right?"
"No, I mean a 'frikandel' with a cut in the middle and union bits and ketchup and mayonaise."

My friend got charged less as for a 'frikandel speciaal'.

Me: "Haddock"

friend: Haddock's not a fish!

Me: Uh...yes they are.

friend: No, Haddock aren't real fish. Not like Goldfish and Salmon.


Yeah....anyway. Another time me and my friend were discussing British descriptions and American descriptions.

I told her that in America, they call some cars Sedans........


Friend: Sedan Hussein!!

You may think my friend is about 5. Actually she is in her 20's, and has been to university.

Lastly for now...

Someone I know was hysterical after September 11th, 2001.

"We are all going to DIE!!! Al-Korea are going to invade!"

Yes. That's right. Al-Korea. Osama Kim Yong Laden no doubt.

my personal FAVORITE:

Ok so my friend lives in canada, about 120 miles north of me (he's in Nanaimo, BC. and I'm in Seattle, WA.). He was a night manager at a shell gas station.

This guy (a tourist from oregon we suspect, because his shirt said oregon on it) comes in, and asks where the nearest place to get gas was. Keep in mind this is a standard gas station, with the gas pumps clearly visible through the windows/door right behind this guy.

My friend totally had him convinced that not only did they not have gas stations in canada anywhere, but all of the cars he'd seen around were tourists, and if he wanted to get gas he'd have to cross the border back into the states.

But then a real canadian came in, plopped a 20 on the counter, and purchased some gasoline.


Another funny one:

I was helping my friend with his computer. He was having some bootup problems (on account of he had corrupted parts of his system files by turning his computer off and back on really fast on Win95). It started booting, but a system file was missing and it said "Press any key to continue booting."

So he calls me up, and hes like Dude I need help with my computer!
me: <heavy sigh> What'd you do this time?
him: I think my keyboard's defective or something, I cant find the any key.
me: There is no any key. Just press any key.
him: But I dont have a fucking any key! WHAT DO I DO! Do I need a new keyboard?

He totally freaked out. It took me about 10 minutes to explain it to him.

Some people are so dumb.

A guy walks up to me and my friend.

"Give us your fucking mobile phone now"
Walking home through Tooting (South London), many years ago, a bloke with a knife jumped out in front of me from an alley. Looked me up and down (I'm rather large) and ducked back in without a word. Since I lived a few yards from the police station I wandered in and explained. They sent a couple of coppers out to see what's what. I followed to see what happened.
Silly bugger jumped out in front of one, ducked back in again straight into the arms of the second copper who'd come up the alley from the other end.

Also, in my teens, got into a fight in my home town. Skinhead was trying to kick me so I grabbed his foot and lifted it. "Let go of my f***ing foot!" he screamed. Yeah, right, just what I was planning to do.

Had a customer come in to our landscape nursery, trying to return a plant. It looked perfectly healthy, so I asked her the reason, figuring that she had purchased too many or some such. Turns out that she has had this particular plant for six months, and it was 'defective'. Without going into how a plant cannot be defective, I asked for clarification:

Her: "I have had this plant for six months. You said when I bought it that it would probably be putting on roots for the first year or so, so I wouldn't see much growth. Well in all that time, it hasn't put on any roots at all!"

Me: "Ma'am, how could you tell it wasn't putting on roots?"

Her: "I kept digging it up to check!"

i was once in HMV with a couple of my friends, i was having a conversation with one them about chlamidia(sp?) and my other friend overheard and really loudly cause she was a bit further down the isle shouted 'who's chlamidia?!' and couldn't understand why everyone looked at her and me and my other friend were nearly on the floor laughing

when my brother was about 11 he asked me if it's illegal to burgle someone's house

one of my friends asked me 'do sheep really photosynthesise?'
the same friend also started telling me about how the surrogettes(sp?) fought to get women the vote

I work in a fast food thing and at least once a day someone will ask for a drink, I'll say 'small or large?' so they reply with 'medium' !? there isn't a medium! if there was i would've said 'small, medium or large?'!!!

I worked at the door at a Burlington Coat Factory (large discount clothing store) for a while. Every so often someone would come up and ask, "is this where I came in?". I knew it was because It was the only entrance to the store.

Also, BCF has a really crappy return policy. They don't give refunds no matter what. There are signs telling you this above the cash registers. You can only get store credit and you must have the reciept. People would often ask why this was the case. Look, I don't have a buisness degree or anything, but it seems pretty obvious that you can save a lot of money by not giving it back to the customers.

Without getting into a full debate on socialized medicine, I can't understand why government funding would prevent people from dieing from TB or the flu.

It's worked for TB so far. At least, it did in the UK. We've got trouble with it recurring now that funding has been cut. Mostly amongst the immigrant population who live rather jam packed on top of each other in some areas - which is a good way to spread TB.

"What time do the Midnight Movies start?"

I'm amazed at how often that one pops up.
I used to work at a theater box office and frequently heard something to the effect of "what time is the 8'o Clock show.
or, "the Little Mermaid, is that ok for children?"

I used to work at a supermarket and while I was putting milk on the shelf someone walked up to me and asked "where is the milk?"
At the same supermarket someone complained that we didn't have the milk he wanted. I told him it wasn't off the truck yet, but should be out in about 10 minutes. When he got impatient he growled "I'm gonna have your job for this." I got him an application.

My wife codes tax forms at the IRS. Occaisionally the line "occupation" will have something in it like "drug dealing" or "proceeds from criminal activity."
Most recently she got one that listed the job as "people give me their children and I sell them."

Kid 1: I'm 24, I live my own life, I can do what I want!
Kid 2: So what? I'm 100!

This one's from my own sister:
"A little bit of pain never hurt anyone!"
Thank God she was joking. ;)

its real fun to go to a gas station and watch someone pump gas
then you ask if they would like to take a loan out to help pay for the gas

"I heard a new version of American Woman by the Guess Who. The original version by Lenny Kravitz was much better."

Now which is better can be argued as it is a matter of taste. But when did a song done in the 70's was copied from the original made in the 90's?

I heard two people discussion parts of speech, for whatever reason.

Person 1: OK, adjectives describe nouns, and adverbs describe actions. That's pretty much all there is, right?

Person 2: No, you're forgetting proverbs. What do they do?

Person 1: (after thinking) They must describe pronouns.

The pain...hurts so much...

This is another one from the computer Help Desk I work at. I swear, we get some of the most ignorant people ever. My top 5.

"Which one is the left click?"

"Can you transfer me to Pizza Hut?"

"My computer won't get on the Internet!"
"Do you have the cord plugged in?"
*Click*

"How do I get this thing to do my taxes?"

"My f***ing password won't work!"
"Is your capslock on?"
*Click*

Alright, I've got a couple. The first is an exchange between my friend and my roommate, while my roommate was playing this computer game called Freelancer:

friend: What's this?

roommate: It's called freelancer.

friend: Oh. So what do you do? Do you work for an army or something?

roommate: No, you're a FREElancer.

friend: Oh.

Then he sat there watching the game for a couple minutes as my roommate's flying around this asteroid field, with stars all around and a planet nearby, and my friend says, perfectly seriously, "Are you in space?"

The other one happened when I was smoking weed with a few other people. It wasn't very good weed, so I didn't feel that high. Then my sister's fiancee comes up with this little bit of wisdom:

"You know how, when you get stoned, your eyes glaze over? It's cool, cuz, like, everything is glazed. So when you look around... everything is glazed!"

Then this other guy who was there says, "So if I gave you a donut, it would be a glazed donut?"

"Yeah!"

I was about to say, "Dude, you're a dumbass. There's no WAY you're that stoned. Stop being a retard." That's what I meant to say. It actually came out as about 5 minutes of uncontrollable laughter. Not quite sure who was the stupidest in that situation.
