If you’re from the American South, this is the kind of question that makes a woman say “bless your heart.”
Like, bless your heart for trying, but that is the dumbest effing question I’ve ever heard in my life.
These 14 people likely had trouble not saying something like that in response to these questions, which are so dumb but were asked earnestly.
Honestly, I think that makes it even worse.
14. Talk about overkill.
“Wait, wasn’t Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated twice?”
13. That would be quite the crossing.
I’m British and when visiting New York I was asked if I came over by plane or car.
She insisted there was a bridge between Britain and the US.
12. Maybe they were flirting.
I had someone in France ask me, after a long conversation in French, whether I spoke French.
11. It’s still English.
When I lived in America I was complimented on my English and asked if it was hard to learn a second language.
I’m from Australia.
10. You just said two meats.
Is the chicken liver pâté suitable for vegetarians.
9. Yes. Yes it is.
“Omg is this made of real moles?!?”
Referring to Molé, a Mexican/South American condiment. She was Mexican.
8. Sometimes you can’t help yourself.
I worked at an icehouse in high school and we were the cheapest spot in town for large, 40 pound bags of ice. They cost $4 each.
I had a guy come in once and ask me how much a $4 bad costs.
I told him the $4 bags cost $6 because of the ignant tax and this dude was willing to pay it.
7. That would make sense, right?
I’m a teacher. We have the day off tomorrow. My husband asked me if the students have the day off, too.
6. Of course she did.
Not me, but my uncle: My great aunt came to visit us after twenty years and when she looked around the yard she asked my uncle “Wasn’t this house over there in a different spot?”
He looked at her, dead serious, and said: “Yea, but our neighbor complained, so me and my friends got together and moved it a hundred feet”
She believed him.
5. Goon is a nice word.
Do you fry frozen french fries in boiling water. My roommate ask me this one evening. He was 24 and didn’t know that you use oil to fry things.
This goon thought you boiled them in water, lol.
4. Definitely worse.
I was having a conversation about the holocaust with a flatmate. Enter different flatmate who overheard some of our conversation. “What’s the holocaust? Is that when helicopters fall out of the sky?”.
Worst thing is she then tried to defend her lack of knowledge by saying she took history in high school.
Yeah that definitely makes it better and not worse…
3. Ok then, sure.
“Can I have a cheeseburger without the cheese?”
“Yeah I can get you a hamburger.”
“No, I want a cheeseburger without the cheese.”
2. Food at noon, probably lunch.
“Are you eating lunch?”
Couldn’t answer right away; I had to swallow the bite of lunch I was chewing and put my fork down on the plate with the rest of my lunch.
1. Take a look around, son.
I worked as a deckhand on a charter fishing boat in Alaska. We were in back behind an island and all around you could look up beautiful fjords with trees and rugged looking rocks.
One of my guests asked “What elevation are we at around here?”
We were in a boat, in the ocean.
Bless their hearts. I don’t know what else to say!
