Yes, sometimes people ask questions for rhetorical reasons, rather than informational reasons.
A rhetorical question is one you don't expect an answer to. Usually because the answer would not provide any information that you do not already have, and the other person knows this.
Do I look stupid?
You may receive flippant remarks in response to these questions.

Dude, you're so in the wrong category for interesting questions. Unless you want to answer "Do you believe in ghosts?" Or "Are Weegee boards real?" ten thousand times, you're up $hit creek.

Yes.
Has anyone ever been so drunk at a restaurant or a bar, that when they sit down to use the bathroom start wondering "am I really sitting on the toilet or am I still sitting at my table"?

Why don't we tell ghost stories instead?
