>Stupid questions

I heard a question so dumb, that I swear my poor brain was asking for oxygen.

A customer came up to me asking where we keep the carts. And I told them we keep them at both entrances (which some people are too stupid to notice most of the time). Then she had to ask me where the entrances were. And then in my head, I heard screeching.

Then at that point my brain went, we are inside the store… You enter the store, through an ENTRANCE!!!! We were even close enough to one of the entrances. “See those windows?” “Yes…” “Go that way…”

That’s almost as bad as “IF it weren’t for my horse I wouldn’t have spent that year in college”.

Too bad I like getting paid, or it would have been fun to run her around the entire building…

God, after thinking about that I need to read. My brain is starving.

I got one for ya – a guy comes up to the counter with a big stack of how-to art books. I total him up and he hands me his check card.

He did inform me, though, at some length, as to the… Read more »

But it doesn’t matter how many times you hear it, teh st00pid iz everywhar!!!!Isn’t it great when their own stupidity is oblivious to them?

I am very stupid sometimes, but in ways totally different from these examples. For instance, I was at a McDonnalds eating my food, I wanted some Ketchup, so I went and asked for some at the front. The lady that gave me the packets then later came out and showed me the ketchup dispenser, right next to the straws and lids for the drinks, which is where I went to get a straw before sitting down to eat. I was amazed I had completely missed the ketchup dispenser, I saw everything else, I knew where to go to get what… Read more »
