They say there is no such thing as a stupid question, but that is a load of crap. There are plenty.
Here is one that bugs me... And it happens all the time:
"What do you do?"
"I am a programmer."
"A computer programmer?"
....
What other kind is there?
Share the stupid questions you get asked.

"Are you making another tournament?"
Thats not a stupid question. It's very pertinent, actually.
And nope, the Villains tourney will be my last one for awhile. Unless people demand another.

Only if you promise to vote.
But since you never do, my heart is broken, repeatedly. Ergo, no more tourneys.

One i run into at drive throughs, and explains why they screw up orders so often: they dont listen.
"I would like a big mac, just the sandwich."
"Would you like the meal or just the sandwich?"
".................Just the sandwich...."

I know what you mean, I was just saying, you seemed to take the joke and make it all very serious like you were annoyed slightly.

You see a person with pack of smokes and lighter in hand, dressed for cold weather, walking toward a door:
"You going for a smoke break?"
one of the stupidest questions i ever heard was from a hardware engineer 4 when I worked for enterasys. this one requires a bit of setup.
Enterasys is like a small version of Cysco, they make networking equipment and software; you know, what the internet essentially exists on. The ranking in the company goes like this: 1 2 3 4, pretty simple. An engineer 4 is a senior level engineer, meaning they have been working with routers, switches hubs and all manner of networking equipment for over 10 years AT LEAST.
So i get a call from a guy and look him up. Engineer 4. In all seriousness he asks:
"Is the server with the internet on it down? I can't get to my home email."
problem number 1 is minor: dont waste company resources (IE, helpdesk personel) because you cant reach your personal email, we dont care.
The big one is, this man managed to put in over 10 years designing and building hardware for the internet and HAS NO IDEA HOW IT WORKS.
For the 2 maybe 3 people who are reading this and may not know, the internet is a collection of servers, switches, hubs, routers, cables and half a million other pieces of equipment scattered all over the world. Not on a server in one building where itmight come to a crashing end because someone spills a glass of water.

I hate the stupid questions people ask because they have no idea how to start a conversation, but feel the need to strike up polite conversation, yet only create akward silence:
"hot enough for ya?"
"cold enough for ya?"
"Do you think it will stop raining?"
Please, just shut up if you have nothing substantial to say.

(That was another question by the way, although Why is a pretty useful one, and one that has motivated scientists and theorists throughout the ages.)

(That was another question by the way, although Why is a pretty useful one, and one that has motivated scientists and theorists throughout the ages.)
In the hands of an annoying toddler though, this is the grandaddy of stupid questions, because they say it (often times) to BE annoying, not caring at all abiout the response and asking it about things that have no why explanation.
"I'm turning off the tv."
"Why?"
"Because it's dinner time"
"Why?"
"Because its time to eat, the food's ready"
"Why?"
"quit asking that"
"Why?"
"Because you are just being an obnoxious shit and dont care about the answer"
"Why?"
"Shut up or i'll tear your doll's head off"
.............................
"Why?"
My kid never did this until my wife started nannying the kid in my "stupid, stupid people" thread a while back.

When you're listening to your MP4 player, walking along, and someone says "Hey, is that yours?"
Sometimes people let their friends borrow each other's music devices though. But a follow up to this is if they have the special headphones that have volume control built in (in addition to the volume on the music player) and you tell them--
"Hey, would you mind turning it down a bit?" and they reply:
"Huh? What? You can hear it? I'm too loud?"
NO FUCKING SHIT. YES DAMMIT, IF I"M TELLING YOU TO TURN IT DOWN THAT MEANS I CAN FUCKING HEAR IT YOU MORON !! :mad:

Yeah it happened to me last night. I didn't bust my head--just my ass--but the same result: "Are you ok?" WTF? :mad:

Are you sleeping?
more specifically :
when someone calls at 5:30 in the morning on the weekend ...
you answer .... 'hhheeeellloooooo' .. obviously out of it
and the person asks :
"did I wake you ?"
standard answer is "no - i had to get up to answer the phone"
