An old man hits my car with his door (he was driving a big suburban type). I get out of the car to check for damages, and he steps out and says,

"I'm sorry I dinged your car. This is a rental (jerks his thumb to the suburban), and I'm not quite sure how to drive it yet." *facepalm* He should NOT be driving someone else's car at this point let alone his own!

What are some dumb things people have said to you or dumb things you have heard people say?

One of my coworkers lied and said her mom died when she didn’t. She made this huge production about her mom being sick and then left work and my coworker got a text from her saying to only tell me and our supervisor about it. Then she just stopped going to work. But then she had pictures of her mom tagged on Facebook and her mom responding. I never told work because I am not the type of person to throw someone under the bus.

My sisters friend in jr. high was kind of an instigator/brainwasher/narcissist. She called 911 one time for no reason and told them my sister was having S thoughts and was about to do something. A ton of fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars came zooming down our street and paramedics came running into the house. The nosy neighbor next door came running up and freaking out and asking what happened. My sister had to convince the police she was fine. Then they went and talked to my sisters friend and got her in trouble. My sister didn’t really talk to that friend after that.

the one that springs to mind is someone asking me if a meat feast pizza had any meat on it

this same person asked me what animal the main character was in the lion king

I have also been asked if someone was able to complain to the pet store if they went to the store, picked up a cat, but baught it home just for it to eat dog food, bark like a dog and wag it's tail. I didn't even bat an eyelash as I said I think you picked up a dog, and you fell asleep in biology. lol

I've been asked if the capital city of australia is actually A, and if it's like that for all countries

are snowballs made out of snow

in order to fill up a glass of water, do I actually need to find some water (nah, just clap your hands and say some magic words.)

what continent is africa in

the other day someone asked me so: who's your favorite author

me: daniele steel. I've read almost all of her books

other person: is she an author?. does she write books?

naaaaa!

I asked the lady at McDonald’s one time if I could have a quarter pounder with cheese plain, and I meant with just the cheese nothing else. And she questioned me and said “I just want to make sure your order is right. I’ve never thought it was weird before to order one plain with cheese.

This was at a middle of nowhere just off the highway McDonald’s.

I heard someone say “are those real sticks in its hair?” while looking at a (real) reindeer, once. Guess she skipped biology, too!
Got asked by a passing driver where [famous local man made lakes] are - they’d just driven from that direction, and you literally can’t miss them; they’re huge and you have to cross a bridge to get over the middle. I told them but don’t think they believed me.

I think my most favorite dumb thing my best friend ever said was, "Is there a moon where you live too?" I moved to a different state and when she caught herself saying it we both started cracking up in hysterics. I have no idea why she said that but it was so funny and we tease each other about it all the time.

I had this coworker. She was kind of dumb but I didn’t realize how dumb she was.

She kept asking why are people talking about some people from Mexico being here supposedly illegally and they might be deported. We tried to explained that some people believe that if you live in a country illegally you need to leave.

She kept asking how come no one argues about deporting people from Ohio or Indiana. Again people tried to explain to her that these are US states.

So long story short she thought Mexico (not New Mexico) is US state. So she could never understand what’s this talk about immigration or being illegal. When asked how many states there are in the US, she knew it as 50. But she couldn’t name them all. So she thought Mexico was one of them. She was born in the US. Went to college. Obscure one you can get into with D-. But still

My sisters in law mother thought that Jews put Christian babies blood in Matzos for Passover and she’d ask that at holiday table invited as a guest. She didn’t know if it was safe to eat (it was store bought major grocery chain)

When asking how could they kill that many babies and deliver blood to big Matzos productions and never get caught and no one was missing thousands of babies. She said she didn’t think that through but that’s what she’s learned in her church.

She was actually a nice woman, just very ignorant

Yes, she was dead serious. She was a bit embarrassed. I think when several people looked at her like she has two heads

So I come out of the bathroom of the Dollar General. I have the key-attached-to-ruler in hand, which unlocks the door. A blonde looks at me as I hand her the key.

"What's the key for?" she asks with concern.

"For the bathroom"

"Well, what do I do with it?"

"You unlock the door."

"With the key?"

"Yes"

"And then what?"

"You go to the bathroom."

"So how do I unlock the door?"

"With the key..."

"How do I put the key in the door and unlock it?"

"Forget it...Have a nice day..."

At this one outpatient group I went to you needed a key for the bathroom and this girl who was like 11 didn’t know where the bathroom was and she thought it was outside somewhere. So she went outside for about 3 minutes and of course couldn’t find it. The receptionist said “no it’s around the corner of the room.”

Also some guy accidentally brought the key home and he returned it and everyone laughed.
