I'll start I guess

1. "Excuse me sonny do you know where my eyes went?"
2. "Could you please climb that pole and get my cat?"
(Just for the record yes people asked me this and to the second one I replied, could you jump into that freezing lake over there and catch me ten fish to get it down with?)

Stupidest thing I've heard: Where are my keys? (while they are holding them...)

A few weeks ago someone came into the #guildwarsguru channel on IRC and asked "whats IRC?". It was pretty dumb.

Oh man, I love this thread...my favourites so far..

I work at Jiffy Lube fulltime, and there's no appointments there, and we tell them this when we pick up, and there's people on occasion who either ask "Can I make an appointment even if it's not needed?" or not use the actual word and just be like "If I show up at such and such a time, would you be able to service my vehicle?" it's so funny that it's sad. Or when they ask if we're open in the rain. I'm like, it's an oil change place, your oil isn't going to get wet from a little rain.

My best personal example would have to be when I woke up and went upstairs and was like, so dude comes in on the plane at 1:30, and my buddy was like, yeahhh, that's before 3 right? And I was like, always has been. Now it took us til like 4 to realize that we were over two hours late. Luckily though, the plane was still later than we were. Good times.

I have so many more, will probably post again once more awake.

I work in tech support at a software company. We get some good ones on occasion.

- Can I fax you this .wav file?
- Can I use the program with my computer off?

To set this next one up, I had a call from a customer and determined she needed to reinstall the program...

Me: Do you have your install CD handy?
Her: Yes. I have it right here.
Me: Ok, go ahead an put it into the CD drive.
Her: Do I have one of those? Where is it at?

Nevermind the fact that she had to have used the cd AND her drive to install the program the first time around.

***********
Another customer, who has had our program for over 15 years asked me "How do I make a blank document?"
***********
One of the more annoying things we get constantly is "Do I right-click?" It happens to all of the techs at least a few times a day. I always tell them after the first time they ask that I will tell them if I want them to right-click on anything and to otherwise assume I mean left-click if I tell them to click on anything. Invariably, I will have JUST finished with that particular instruction and then tell them to click on something and the first words out of their mouths are "Right click?"

***********
Last one for now. Not really a stupid question, just a stupid customer. One day my office mate was on the phone with a customer and she said she was going to send him files in email.. got his email address and then hung up. She calls back a couple hours later, absolutely furious with my co-worker, demanding to know why he hadn't fixed her problem and returned her files.

He informed her that he had never received the files from her. Well, the reason he had never gotten the files was because she had never sent them due to the fact that she didn't have access to the internet on her computer... But it was OUR fault we never got the files she never sent.

I'm a middle school teacher, so I've heard a million....BUT while teaching a science lesson I had a kid ask..."Wait, aren't the Sun and Moon the same thing? I mean....Isn't the Moon just the sun at night?"....Even better (and this really happened)...In a sex ed class an 8th grade girl asked..."Well, if semen is mostly sugars and proteins, why does it taste so salty?"...Could not teach anything for the next 15 minutes...took that long to get the rest of the class to stop laughing...

That was my first thought when I read the title. That, and while watching a movie when something crazy/awesome happens and my gf says "Did you see that!?"

Wow this is the most popular one of my threads have been...and that's sorta depressing...
Anyway:
My friend came over to my house in the middle of the night (already asleep) he knocked on the door, looked at me and asked
"Why are you in your P.Js?"

My ex asked me when we were dating after she had been drinking a bit too much (she'd done it twice before so it's kinda obvious after the first 2 times)
"Why are there four suns?"

When I was like 14, I went to the barber. This guy asked me what I did for a living and if I was married.

*******************************
Not too long ago I visited London, and we were taking pictures. I took a fun picture of her and my feet together. "What feet are whose?"

Too tired now, I'll remember the good ones later

Alrighty, I was in World history learning bout Caravans...

Teacher: merchants used CARAVANS to get from place to place in a protected manner
Student : They used the dodge Caravans!? How did they use them if they werent invented...

teacher quit teaching rest of class

Learning bout Cro-magnon man and how they used tools and crap and out of NOWHERE student asks
"When did we learn to cover the peni* and boobs?"

locating places on old maps..
Teacher: this is Great Britain, also known as U.K
Student: How does U of L(University of Louisville) get to U.K(University of Kentucky) so quickly to play ball!?
We lol'ed for so long after that

Someone breaks his/her arm, person comes up and asks "What happened!" "Broke my leg dipsh*t"

One of my friends in World History who is a huge GW nerd...we learning about Muslim and their holy relics....teacher says the Kabba! and then he asks friend what he was just talking about..friend says.."You were talking about a Kappa using Ice Spikes?" - I laughed inside sooo hard

I KNOW there are more...like 3 everytime I go to World History, so you'll see me as a regular customer here
