I have this happen all the time. The best was:
Me: Hi, this is [ethnic name], your account manager.
Customer: What?!
Me: [First name] [Last name], your account manager from [Company?]
Customer: Wow, you don't sound like any [ethnic name] i've ever heard of! are you american!?
*facepalm*
I was in new jersey at the time, he was in bumblefuck Tennessee or something similar.

She must have a Gob instead. Gotta love those Gobs.
Anywayz: There isn't to many instances where people around me say to much dumb things. But I guess the worst would have to be my mom. A couple months after explaining to her that I'm transgendered and wanna transition...sooner or later to being a girl I told her I was a lesbian.
She said "Your not a lesbian. Lesbians are girls." :/
This is explicilty after explaining what transgender is, hormone stuff, and after she saw me dress up, after she started calling me a girl, and after I told her I liked girls.
Just came out of the left field and hit me like a ton of bricks. I've since tried reexplaining everything and think she knows. Doesn't really matter. I know she doesn't really mind any of this stuff as long as I'm happy.
Meh not that stupid but like I said noone says really stupid stuff. Especially compared to this thread. Entertaining read.
Which reminds me I really should post in the transgender thread but I always back off and see no point since I really haven't started transitioning yet...meh.

Bumblefuck, Tennessee. Classic! Never heard that one.
(Curiously my phone spelt bumblefuck. I guess it is an officially accepted term.)

Didn't you know? Only 'Murricans can talk good english
WiiRevolution1: Seems like she might be exhibiting a bit of denial on her behalf with the "you can't be a lesbian, lesbians are girls!" And you should probably pop in that thread anyhow, seems like a great community from what I've seen, and a lot of people there are in different stages of transitioning themselves. Every journey starts with a single step and all that jazz

One time a girl asked my wife the following question:
"If a black person and a white person have a baby is the baby Mexican?"

As someone who has worked a lot of retail in his day, she was probably covering her bases because customers probably get that mixed up.

The best thing about this, is she clearly looked at it like a colour spectrum; "white mixed with black, that makes... kind of light brown, right?"

Dumbest thing I heard recently:
my ex-gf was trying to convince me that Nicolas Sarkozy would stage a coup d'Etat because he knew he'd lose the 2012 presidential elections.
She used to be so smart ... poor girl.

I work at a dental office and some people have really bad handwriting so we have to ask them what they wrote.
Me: Sir, what is your street name?
Sir: Well, most people call me Bob.
Me: .....
I also work with some ...special... people. The office manager who is in her 50's: "Should this be 'no further treatment' or 'know further treatment?" (she has asked me the difference 4 times now) Or the girl who calls the Kinect the Kinetic.

In all fairness, that's not really "dumb". That's just someone who knows nothing about gaming turning a nonsense word into a real one. She probably thinks you're dumb for saying "Kinect".

True, and I didn't correct her either. But, she started saying it right and I was so proud until 2 days later it went back to Kinetic. Oh well.

Agreed. Misinterpreted names for tech by people with a passing interest is to be expected. I'm thoroughly impressed when they get it right to be honest, and I mean that without a hint of condescension.
I love my friend dearly, but he is not very bright. And sometimes he does not put his brain to use at all.

I was making a frozen pizza once.. (Totino's party pizza, fuck yeah)
A girl I used to be friends with was in the kitchen with me. After I put the pizza in the oven (not the microwave, I was baking it).
She asked me: "Why did you take the plastic off?"
Still to this day one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.. because it was based on her actually in the past baking pizzas in the oven with the plastic covering still on..

A friend and I worked at this gas station several years ago and the owner of the place had lost an eye several years before we ever knew her. One day we were walking to work and he said in a serious manner that "Bonnie lost her eye due to extreme integrity". I lost it completely to the point where I was in tears and had a hard time breathing...his delivery was so deadpan...so...I mean, you just had to be there. He didn't intend to say something funny or stupid and was upset at my reaction. It was honestly the funniest and most absurd thing I had ever heard in my life.

When a Fox News anchor referred to Barack and Michelle Obama's fist bump as a possible "terrorist fist jab".
My mind literally went numb for a second and my vision was momentarily blurred and whited out almost everything around me. I've never had that happen before... I think it was the closest I'll ever get to having my mind blown for real.

The reason that Battlefield 3 would be looking the same on PS3 as on PC is because it has HDMI support.
We are both doing the same Game Architecture & Design course.
Well, that's the dumbest thing I can remember. And it's a nerdy thing. I probably have way more dumber things told to me.

How did she really lose her eye? I'm curious as to what he was trying to say.

I tried to get her to explain..what happens? Melted plastic everywhere? Plastic still half-there and you take it off?
She offered no explanation. I'm guessing half of it ends up burning up and poisoning the air near the oven, but at least part of it is going to melt into the pizza.

This girl also wrote thousands of dollars of checks the day she first got a checking account when she was 17 (and only had a few dollars in her account). She's not a criminally minded person either, she claims she didn't know how it all worked and just kept buying her friends things. I forget what she was eventually convicted of.. but I knew her until she was 24 or so and she was still dealing with the legal and financial repercussions.
I'm 33 (and so is she by now) in case anyone is wondering why I'm talking about checks. A foreign concept to todays youth
If you didn't think your political view was the only correct one why would you hold it? I understand being open minded but this doesn't make any sense.
A guy in my class in High School asked in our macroeconomics why we didn't print money to fix the debt. After the teacher explained (for like the thousandth time) that it would cause inflation he said to just do it without having anyone notice it. Yeah.
Also another guy referred to Aristotle as an inventor.

I can't blame them for thinking that; it would make the idea of sending things by fax less anachronistic.

Agreed. Respecting the beliefs of others is one thing, but on some level you should have confidence that you're right and they're wrong. Else how much do your beliefs really mean to you?
Friend and I were coming home from a concert late at night and stopped to order some food:
Me: I'd like two cheeseburgers please.
Cashier: Uh sorry we only have double cheeseburgers right now.
Me: What, why?
Cashier: We are running out of hamburger for the night so we can only make doubles.
Me: But two cheeseburgers require the same amount of meat as one double.
Cashier: No they don't, it would throw our count off. Sorry.
Me: Can I just get a double with extra buns then?
Cashier: Sure no problem.
We stayed in the lane and just used the buns to make another sandwich. Friend got out of the car and showed the cashier. Cashier shut the window in his face.

I hear what you're saying, and you make a good point, but looking at a small plastic box with two cables coming off it, how on earth you can make the jump to physically sending the document, through the wires, to the recipient, all in a few seconds lest we forget. It boggles the mind.

So, she was basically using checks like modern youth use credit cards? not that foreign a concept, she was just ahead of her time

That's not really a stupid question unless you're already a black hole expert.

An expert? Come on dude. That one goes from zero to stupid before even taking black holes into account.
A few years back a group of us where watching the TV and there was a news story about something involving the quarantine of some food/animals, cant remember what exactly.
'Where's quarantine?'
'Excuse me?'
'Where's quarantine, I keep hearing about it but I have no idea where it is?'

Whenever I hear the worlds quarantine today, I think of the idea of some sort of desert island somewhere in the middle of nowhere...

are you kidding me?
1.) where's the closest black hole to earth? how would we even get a camera there?
2.) if a black hole sucks in everything, even light (which is why we can't really see them now, just their effect on stuff around them) how can the camera see anything?
3.) how exactly is a chain, the camera, and whatever its attached to not going to be sucked in and annihilated along with everything else?
even if your only knowledge of black holes comes from comic books and cartoons, it's still a stupid question.
