Um, WHAT!? I mean, SERIOUSLY.

[seeress_83]

Yeah, so it's been a while since I've posted, haven't had any super sucks lately. Still haven't, but this was such a WTF?! moment that I have to share.

So I'm working, just cleared out a few customers, and this guy comes in. Never seen this guy before, and the following conversation takes place.

WD: WTF, Dude?
M: Meee!

WD: Yeah, can you tell me how much $10 worth of diesel would be?
M: *assuming he wants to know how many gallons* Umm...it'd be right at 3 gallons, because it's a little over $3/gallon.
WD: No, I mean, how much money would it cost me to get $10 worth of diesel?
M: .........Um, $10?
WD: Oh, I thought it would be more. *Leaves without pumping any diesel*

I know I looked at this guy like he was a complete fucking moron, but really. Someone said maybe he wanted to know how much 10 gallons would cost, but you'd think he would have figured out he said it wrong when I said 10 dollars would get him 3 gallons.

Naturally, I texted all my friends and told that story, and called the other store employees and told them about it :P

[Chazzie]

Heheh, well, what with the value of a dollar dropping and all, it could very well be more, but not quite THAT quickly! =P

The stupid is strong in that one!!! Lets hope it doesn't breed.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

How much would a pound of feathers be?!?

[smileyeagle1021]

I'd like to book a room on my corporate rate of $99, can you tell me what the rate is on friday?

[gunsage]

WD: Yeah, can you tell me how much $10 worth of diesel would be?

Me: *Russian accent* "70 ruples, comrade."

[Ttam]

How much would a pound of feathers be?!?

I dunno, but I'd rather have that than a pound of rocks.... Those would be so much heavier.

[Pagan]

I probably would have said, "Do what now?"

[MadMike]

Operator! I need the number for 911!

[Talon]

Is there some decimal-to-stupid conversion we aren't aware of?

[blas]

Sounds like Dipshit the Impossible

"Blas, if there are 20 parts to this board, how many go into the board?"

"Um....20.."

"Well, why would it say 20?"

"Because there are 20 of them..."

"But to my knowledge, if there are different parts..."

"No, they aren't different. There are 20 of them."

"But I.."

"No.."



The stupid is SO strong with some people!

[seeress_83]

I probably would have said, "Do what now?"

Believe me, it took all I had not to ask "Are you serious?!"

I have had lots of stupid people come in the store and ask me lots of stupid questions, but I do believe that one has to be the mother of all stupid questions.

The going theory among me and my friends is that the guy was high on something...though he didn't seem that way. But you can never tell with people, I guess.

Haha! "Quick! What's the number for 9-1-1?"
"How should I know?"

- a la 'Little Rascals'

when I worked for a rather famous mouse at a rather famous theme park in florida, the most commonly asked question was:

Wait for it.....


wait for it......


"what time does the 3 o'clock parade start?"

When I was working at the library a few years back I heard this one tale of someone who called up the reference desk and asked what city the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in. Heh. Funny, thoughh it's not really that bad, since, in his defence, the tower could have been named after its creator, or something.

My favorite dumb question, though, comes from my sister rather than a dumb customer. One day she just turns to me and asks straight out "Is the Fourth of July in June?" I nearly bust a gut laughing. She's a smart girl, just had a blond moment.
