    Right I’m bored which is never good. Whilst have a chat yesterday with someone new, I was asked a really stupid question. So I thought I would start this thread.
    What is the most stupid question you have every been asked, witnessed or watched via media.
    The only rule is it has to be from an adult not a child!

    entertain me people!

    Last summer my missus and I were preparing for a bbq. She told me I need to go out and get some coal. No need I said, there's some in the garage from last year.

    Oh that'll be out of date by now she said :biggrin:

    I'm walking through Salisbury at night when approached by an American tourist who politely asked me the way to the Cathedral. Salisbury cathedral has a spire 404 feet (or 123 metres) high which was floodlit and clearly visible over the roofs of nearby houses. It looked like a medieval Saturn V rocket from where the tourist and I were standing. "Over there" says I, almost lost for words.

    My old man, a thousand years ago now it seems, ex trawerman.
    He was playing snooker, and surprisingly not bad, was asked by his opponent if he practised at sea.

    For me, any online customer satisfaction survey

    In New York years ago and me and the family went on the ferry to have a butchers at The Statue of Liberty.

    I’m chatting away to my lad when a well heeled American woman, who was sat next to us, asked where I was from because she’d never heard an accent like mine before.

    I told her was from England, to which she replied’ ‘ Oh really, and what language do you speak?’

    I **** you not.

    Or most recently when my wife asked me why I was cheering when Pboro scored in extra time vs Wednesday, she wanted to know why I didn't want them to win as we live in Sheffield with most of my friends supporting Weds too. Still doesn't get it.....

    Was standing at spurn point with my wife years ago and she asked me what the town was at the other side of the water. I said Copenhagen for a laugh. She said (in front of a large group) “we’ll why don’t they do a ferry to Copenhagen if it’s just over there?”. I got blanked for days after I told her the truth…

    A few seasons ago, literally outside the turnstiles at Glanford Park, a City fan cheekily asked the Scunny car park steward "excuse me mate, where's the ground?", to which every City fan in the vicinity pissed themselves laughing. Said steward then went into an almighty rage "at least we own it, it's not a council pitch like yours etc..."

    May have seemed a stupid question.... but 100% got the response it was after !!

    Somebody once came up to me and said. 'Excuse me, do you know where Clifford Street is?'
    I said. 'No. Sorry. No idea.'
    He said, 'Well you go up there, turn left and its the third street on the right.'
