Odd things people ask you

[Treaqum]

Well when I am tradeing it freaks me out to have people ask:
My age
Gender (Can't they tell?)
Race
Religion
these have been real questions. Other odd questions:
During elections while I was wearing a shirt supporting the Green Party I was asked what party was I supporting.

[Amateur_Expert]

Completly concious, someone asked me if i was awake once.

carnivorous plants? what?

[unknownclown]

I get asked numerous times a day at work if Im talking on the phone while Im of course talking on the phone.

[TunaSurprise]

Once, when my friend was over, the phone rang, and he asked if that was my phone ringing. He doesn't own a cell phone either.

I just had a strange thought:
A man falls down an elevator shaft of about 300 feet. A man at the bottom asks if he's okay, and the man replies, "No, i was in a hurry, and the elevator was just too slow."

People always ask stupid question....

I have been asked, for many years, if I was ever told that I look like Dustin Hoffman. Also, with incredible consistency, whenever makes a mistake in calling me by name, they refer to me as Steve.

Bill Engvall.


I was selling cp's at a flea market, and one guy was looking at the vft's. he looked up at me and said "Huh, I haven't seen one of these in years, I didn't know they still made these" Of course I responded "No they grow in NC" He replied Oh so they make these in a greenhouse down there?" You can't argue with ignorance so I just said "Yeah"

To my mum from one of her FIFTH grade students:
"Mrs. Treffkorn, what's a continent??"
Let me just think, I can come up with some I'm sure... The continent one isn't probably as funny unless you can hear the voice, but you get the idea http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/new/smile_n_32.gif

[wolf9striker]

Haha yes Ozzy I am a Police Officer.

From 'The King Of Queens':

(Doug is trying to get his car door open with a coat hanger)
(dude drives up)
dude: "Locked your keys in the car?"
Doug: "No, I have a shirt in the back and I'm trying to get it on the hanger without opening the door."

One time when we were in a Friendly's in Massachusetts, I was wearing my Florida Gators hat (which has an enormously obvious orange "F" on the side) and the waiter asked me if it meant the "New England NaviGators" o_O

I'll bet security guards get asked that question as well.

Now there's a thought! I like the one where someone mistakenly referred to you as 'Bigweed'. http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/new/smile_l_32.gif
