What is the most silly question someone has ever asked you? Yesterday i had to go pick up a package and pay import duties on it, so the cashier told me the amount and I took out cash to pay her. While handing over the cash she asked me "So are you paying with cash?" I looked at her and was liek duh!

Yes. Some people like to ask the obvious. I can't quite recall a question now but I definitely have been asked obvious questions. My response was like Duh too.

I've done this the other way round, by being the asker of a silly question. Me to my partner, who had just arrived in the UK by coach for a visit. I had a horrible time getting into the City and was really flustered. I met her at the coach station and, on the way out, asked her if she remembered where I'd parked the car... d'oh.

You are not alone, my partner have asked me the exact same question many times when we go to the city. I guess with so many cars in the parking lot, it is hard to remember just where you parked

I own my company and most times I am in the office before everybody and sometimes after everybody leaves. Sometimes I will sit at the front receptionist/waiting room desk so that I am not in the back of the office suite. I can't tell you how many times someone has opened the door walked in and asked, do you work here? I am like no idiot, I just walked up and sat behind the receptionist desk, booted up the computer and patiently waiting for the next idiot to walk through the door!

Well not me but one time I was at the register of DSW SHOE store and this girl who was scanning my item got a phone call. She answered and went: "Ok, please hold on" smiling, she then shouted at her co-worker "Hey, this person on the phone is asking for the SHOE department!". Everyone chuckled after that.

A SHOE Department in a SHOE store, some people really do make you wonder. Then again the sales girl could have been getting a laugh off of the caller too, who was calling a SHOE store asking for the SHOE department

Well, I had the chance to enjoy myself with alot of stupid questions. To be honest, i've tried to highlight this perception in my answers that quickly followed. Maybe the most intriguing conversation i had is one with a friend that used to call me on my home phone, whenever he had a problem with an electronic device. The communication cycle is allways identical: he calls, I pick up the phone and say "Hello" , he asks "Hey, are you there?", I answer: "No". One time after this stupid conversation, he tells me that he has a problem with his newly bougth notebook. I was amazed, I had no clue he knows a thing about computers. "It doesn't work, he says." I ask: "What kind of notebook you have?"... He thinks a bit and with a very happy voice answers: "Aaaa, a grey one".
