I know the stupidest thing I've ever said to a question:
Mike (my boss): hey Chris, you free for lunch tomorrow?
Me: Yeah, sure, what's up?
Mike: Lunch.
Me: Oh, right.
What the hell else would be up? That was definitely the most recent version of me putting my foot in my mouth, and now I've shared it with the Internet. Mock away.
As to stupid things other people ask, the worst was when I was working at the movie theatre. People always had trouble finding screens, which I can't fault them for, because the ticket printout was stupid. Anyway, my job was to take tickets and send people to the right screen. Bear in mind, my stand was directly below a big, neon sign that read "Screens 8-14." One day, this lady, about 30, comes up, looks at me, looks up at the sign, looks back down at the ticket, and then once more back up at the sign. Then, she looks at me, and asks, "Do you know where screen 10 is?" I tried not to be a jerk, but it was really tough holding back the laughter. I thought maybe she was illiterate, but the only way that she could have known that it was screen 10 was by looking at her ticket, because the box doesn't say where it is, and she was alone. I was tempted to point her to the other side, to the sign that said Screens 1-7, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. That was definitely one of the dumbest questions I've ever been asked. It would have made more sense if she hadn't spent about 30 seconds staring at the ticket and back at the sign. We had a saying there: "you can never under-estimate the intelligence of the general public." It's very true.
*Oh, and tigger whatever- that story circled the internet about a year ago.

I work in a big store, we have to wear coloured smocks, very distinctive. The dumbest questions I keep getting asked is,
"DO YOU WORK HERE?" and when customer ask for something and we do not carry the item, "WHY NOT?"

I would have to say a tech support call that I did.
Caller: I plugged my system, but it's not powering up can you tell me why.
Me: Can you check to see if the power is properly connected?
Caller: I can't do that right now, since I have a power outage in my area.
Me: That would explain why you have no power
Caller: Oh I didn't know that the computer ran on the same power source.
I have had plenty of other things asked, but It wouldn't make a lot of sense to people that don't know the techno lingo. That I would have to say that is still one of the funniest thing I had to answer.

When seeing a psychiatrist for an assessment of my depression I carefully explained to him I can't take anti-depressants because the three times I have tried anti depressants I went from being depressed to suicidal.... he asked had I actually tried to commit suicide so I explained that twice I had overdosed on the very antidepressants that were supposed to be helping me, along with other medications....
at the conclusion of the assessment he asked me...
"So do you want me to write you a prescription for anti depressants?"
