Stupid questions DO exist

Chichigo · April 2014

My mom, teachers, and grandparents always said there's no such thing as a stupid question. I am sure I'll tell my son the same BS, but I know better.

What stupid question has someone asked you recently?

Chichigo · April 2014

I haven't returned to work yet and spend WAY too much time with my LO. My husband complains that all he does is cry when I'm gone. In the last month, I think I left him with my husband once.

Since my husband didn't go to work today, I planned on leaving LO home whike grocery shopping. I said its easier than taking him with me. (In addition to the usual hassle of shopping with an infant, I need to read all labels because of food allergies.)

My husband asks, "oh, you've taken him grocery shopping?"

My response: "No, food just magically appears in our house."

Then he got all butthurt because I laughed at him.

DH called me at work while he was freaking out, saying he did to know how to dress the kids. I had to literally explain where in the closet the long sleeve shirts/pants were for BOTH kids... Mind you, we have both been dressing children for almost 3 years. Sometimes men are just blind until you tell them exactly where something is. In his defense I had just rearranged and cleaned out closets but it's still pretty clear!!

I thought of calling it husband shaming, but thought we would get some gems from others.

My great aunt was in from out of state and staying with my mom. Breastfeeding is rare in my family.

My great aunt asked why I didn't just pump milk and feed LO bottles. I pointed out that would create unnecessary work when I'm with LO most of the time.

That waitress deserved a tip that wasn't monetary.

My H would have a hay day with this thread...I'm usually the who asks the stupid questions.... $:\$ ">

My H asked me if I wanted to have another baby...in the delivery room...right after LO came out.

My OB said he expected to see me back in the same place in a year (while stitching me back together). His female partner signed the release papers and told me to have a follow up on four weeks to start birth control in time.

We went out to lunch with my DHs parents last weekend. We get there and my DH asks me if we brought a bottle for DS. (I EBF.). When I tell him no he freaks out and ask what we're going to do if DS gets hungry! HELLO! I am right here! The boobs leave the house with me!!!!

synergy_gd · April 2014

I probably get several stupid questions a week from customers. Probably the silliest are things like "can I have the illustration in white, white text and white background?" Ummm so a blank piece of paper then, cool, less work for me.

This made me for real LOL. I am still laughing.

DH asked if they made anything like a KONG toy..but for babies. Seriously.

DH: "Do you think they make anything like a Kong toy for babies? You know, where you could stuff the middle with some applesauce or bananas and the baby could just gnaw it/suck it out?"

Me: .....

DH: "We should invent it"

imrachellea · April 2014

My students constantly ask me what the date is. Gee, I dunno, it isn't like I haven't posted it in the same place on the board...every day...all year...and written it on the mini-board on my filing cabinet...AND project it on the giant screen at the front of the room...every.single.day. So I don't know, what IS today's date??

Oh and back when I was still pregnant one of my socially ackward student asked me what day I got pregnant. Seriously...? You want to know the day I had sex and got KU?? (His face went white as a sheet when I paused and said "...I don't really know if that's an appropriate question". Why do I have to use the word "appropriate" so many times with these kids??

hercules03 drive thru funny I have one..

Wendy's is where this happened.

I pull into Wendy's and my total was $1.12. I gave the girl $1.17 to get a nickle back.

She looked at me with the oddest face and says "It was $1.12, you gave me to much" me "I know, I would like change back" she closes the drive thru window, I wait about 30seconds and she opens it up, gives me my item and a dime....I shake my head and said "no I gave you $1.17" she no shit goes "yeah, so I gave you a dime, that is your change, have a nice day" and shut the window on me. I just laughed to myself and drove away......poor thing!!!

Hey not a bad idea! Combat childhood obesity with a giant kong wobbler for kids. They have to chase it round the house wacking it at just the right angle to get one m&m to pop out.

Not all twins look alike. And it is very possible for them to have different skin tones and be different in size. I think especially at this age most people would see two babies together and think this. IMO

My H's grandma asked me today if I could wear Jeter in the Lille Baby carrier while I drive.

ameegee · April 2014

A friend of mines girlfriend always ALWAYS asks me if it was weird to go from being pregnant to not being pregnant. I've seen her like 20 times since LO got here. It's become a running joke for DH and I. How long will it take her to ask...

ugoglencoco · April 2014

@Loolaide‌ I was wondering the same thing!!

What combination of change could you possibly have to be able to give someone $0.17 but not exactly $0.12?

Is that a stupid question? I'll agree if you can answer it.

All pennies and wanted a nickel? Maybe? Just wanting to not have all the pennies

But then wouldn't you say, "can I trade you five pennies for a nickel?" Also the time it took to count out 17 pennies is probably worth that nickel.

Agreed. But I have known people to do this.

I was wondering when reading this last night! The only scenario I could come up with was she had: 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 2 pennies. That would make $1.17 and would give back a nickel in change. Some serious calcs went into this at about 12 last night!

Cambury108 · April 2014

I sat behind someone in drive thru for an obscene amount of time so yes it was ALL change. Figured it was a good time to clean out the extra coins. Whatever the coin denomination was I cant remember but I do know there were quite a few pennies. I gave her what I did to get 1 single nickle back.
