Dumb Questions!

So I turned in some change at my bank. It came to 8 dollars and some cents. The gal asks me how I want it. confused I gave her a look and she said that some people want in in nickels, or pennies etc. Now would I have turned in my change if I wanted change back?

And the other day someone asked me if ass-hole was hyphenated. Um have you ever SEEN it hyphenated? mad

What stupid questions have you encountered this week?

Or when someone calls you and ask, "Who is this?"


My reply is always, "Who do you wanna talk to?"

Then they hang up... biggrin

That happens alot. One time I answerd the phone and said "Hello" and they said "Who is this?" and I said "Who is this, you called me". Then they hung up.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

This isn't a dumb "question"...but whenver I have internet connection issues or when I get booted and can't reconnect, I call up my service provider. Of course I get the automated system, which asks all sorts of questions, one of them which is "Are you having trouble connecting to the internet?"...I push "1" for "yes", and am immediately taken to a recording that says "You can also get tech support help for your problem by visiting our website at..."...

Um, hello...I just said I'm having problems connecting to the stinkin' internet!! mad...Wtf good is your website gonna do me??

lol

The question that gets me is a few times when I went on a job interview, the interviewer (upon seeing that I had been out of work for a few months) asks me, "So what have you been doing the last few months, taking it easy?" I want to say in response, "WTF kinda dumb ass question is that? Everyone knows that the economy is bad, what the hell do you think I've been doing? I've been pounding the pavement looking for a job, like so many other people have been doing, with no luck."

I just calmly say that I've been busy looking for a new position, but it has been somewhat difficult, due to the lack of jobs in this area, and the economic conditions in this country right now. I feel like I should not even have to go to any lengths to explain it, since anybody with half a brain knows how difficult it is to find good paying jobs now. rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes

If I really wanted to be a smart ass, I could say, "Well, I robbed a couple of banks recently, but the money ran out. So I thought to myself, 'What the hell, I might as well go out and find a job'".

Stupid questions drive me insane. wacky wacky
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
