Strange/Stupid Questions

[Eve]

What strange questions have you been asked or that you have asked?

I went for lunch in a lovely new tapas bar earlier and am thinking of chosing there for a hot date I have next weekend. I asked him if i would need to book as it was a date on Saturday night, he asked me how many people there would be and then got all flustered when I laughed and asked him what kind of girl he thought I was.

When working in Pizza Hut it amazed me how many people asked if we did pizza???

Remember ordering a pint once and being asked if I'd like ice with it :)

One that always gets me is people asking 'have you got the right time please ?'

Oh and i did chuckle when in poundland, i overheard a lady asking how much something was !.

I asked for a glass of water in a pub for my daughter.
"Still or sparkling?" I was asked.
"Sparkling", I answered.
"We don't do sparkling" came the reply.

Another time, I rang a Wigan pub venue during the jazz festival and asked the guy answering "what have you got on tonight?"
"Jeans and a shirt" he replied.
You couldn't make it up!

When I was in the Royal Scots many years ago, I was on guard at Edinburgh castle and my mate got asked by a yank, "what time does the 1 o clock gun go off"?
I was asked "did they build the castle near the railway station so that the queen didnt have far to drive home"?

LOL @ Fulton. Out with my hubby the other night and he asked for water whilst ordering a round of drinks. The barman went away and poured drinks and came back to my hubby and said "still water sir"....to which my hubby replied " haven't changed my mind , I'll still have water , thanks " Barman didnt know what to say !

At work wearing a very distinctive Boots uniform and putting baskets away or tidying the shelves. "Do you work here?" I swear on my last day I'm going to say no.

I had a guy come in the library i worked in once, asked me if I could help him find a book he wanted. asked for more details, his sole reply..I think it's blue...rah!!!

My ex used to work in a 24 hour Spar and was always asked what time they shut, he just used to say Christmas and walk off.

When I worked in Burger King we used to get so sick of people asking for BigMac, Mac this and Mac that too :)

Clarabel, used to get that all the time in Somerfield, as if i chose to wear a stripey dress and green jacket for fashion's sake!!! They used to do Saga tour pickups outside and we always used to get mistaken for the guides by the daytrippers who'd come up and repeatedly ask what time there bus left and where from etc...

Was serving someone food one day and asked ' would you like Sticky Pear Pudding and Custard?' They thought for a minute then said 'Is it apple?' I said 'No, the clue was in the question!'

I said to a child who asked for something without saying thank you - 'what's the magic word?' They answered 'Abracadabra?'

Jenna- It was party day at work yesterday, we got to wear our own clothes, not one person asked me if I worked there, or wasn't sure, they just assumed I did. Figure that one out!

Oh in Wagamamas once my BF and I asked for Duck Gyozas. The waitress said "Yes but What type of Gyozas? Chicken, Duck or vegetable?" Bf Said "Duck" she said "yes but which type?" Sigh.
