I'm thinking about people working directly with customers, but anything funny you've experiences is fine.

I used to work for a government agency and was going to school for computers at night. I was helping a co-worker through a computer issue and told him to "right click" on the desktop. The conversation was silent for far too long and I asked if he did it. He asked me to repeat and I said "right click" on the desktop. He said, "Ok, but I don't see how that will help". Again silent.....I asked again, did you right click on the desktop. He said "Yes, but it didn't do anything". Getting frustrated, I went to his desk and he literally wrote the word "Click" on the desktop, his workstation desk.
To this day I still make fun of him for that when I see him. Talk about computer illiterate!

In a job interview I was asked to add the numbers between 1 & 10 (answer is 55). I've been through a lot of interviews and never had this weird question.
At work I've been asked how I did something so quickly before when I do work, but that is just because a lot of people I worked with were computer illiterate and didn't understand the basics of typing speeds etc.

Funny= i worked at Wendy's right? they have a side salad. well some woman came through the drive-thru and asked what came on that particular salad. i said cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and 2 purple onion rings. she didn't say anything for a few seconds but then asked "Well that doesn't have any lettuce?" oh my gosh i though i was gonna die. didn't help when everyone with a headset on busted out laughing and i had to answer her back. took a minute but i chuckled out yes mam. ha ha. then i felt bad about laughing because it was sweet little old lady.
Dumb= Still at Wendy's: "do y'all have burritos?" "do you still have that 'junion baker' sandwich?" no but we do have the JUNIOR BACON for $.99 "oh yeah that's what i mean" "do you have bologna sandwiches?" no but we have HAMBURGERS!!!!!! we have a menu!!! would you like a minute to read it to figure out where you are? lol people can be so funny when they go through drive-thrus. i have worked a few and never get away from dumb questions!!!!!!!!!
