    Me:...Only Apple stores can sell Ipods
    Actually, that's not true. I bought mine at Best Buy, and I'm sure Circuit City and the like also sell them.

      MadMike got to it , but yeah I got mine at Radio Shack and I know that wal-mart sells them. I think I would have just looked at her and laughed, seriously, an ipod for under 5? Sign me up for that.

      • I work at a tiny marina where we fix up old boats and sell them. Its a real small town backwoods place. Moron sees boat in parking lot for sail. Asks boss if he can take it out. This is like deliverance country here so my boss thinks nothing to letting the guy hook his truck up to the trailer and launch the boat. As he is drifting away from the pier, he yells to me...

        "What's I'm supposed to do with this?"

        He is holding the boat plug.

        By the time I get him to just pull the sinking vessel into an empty slip, of course he wastes critical time arguing with me that this isn't a big deal, the boat is barely above the water. Within ten minutes, you can barely make out the shape of the boat under the water (It would have been on the bottom had I not tied four lines to the slip). Took me and my boss two days to de-water the boat enough just to get it back to the launch (hard to use pumps when the electrical system is flooded) and take it out of the water to drain it completely. Needless to say, the guy was full of shit when initially describing his boating ability. Just as needless to say my boss escorted him off his property with his .22 and his dogs.

          "Where's your toy section?" (Well we don't actually have on in a fucking grocery store, but I'll happily tell you where the nearest Toys R Us is!)
          The store down the street from me sells toys, also the store a few blocks away does also.

          The single most offensive thing to me is somebody acting like I'm dim-witted, since I consider myself highly intelligent. I'm just not a numbers person.

          I am the same way.

          • The dumbest one I have ever heard was on a flight I took a few years ago off a frozen lake with about 15 other passengers.. One of the ladies sitting at a window seat looked down at the skis on the plane as we were taxiing out and asked the airline staffer.... 'how can the plane move without any tracks on the skis?'

            She couldn't reason that the plane was moving because of the propellers, and had expected that while it was on the ground, the skis should have the equivalent of snowmobile tracks under each ski to move the plane forward.

            The whole plane just roared with laughter....

            • I work in a gas station. The absolute dumbest question ever has to be:

              "How much money would ten dollars worth of diesel cost me?"

              No, seriously. That really happened. I swear.

                  it's said that no sane person could bite another person and draw blood. I've done it before, but then again sanity has always been questionable in our family.

                  • the store i work at we sell silver jewelry and also some steel rings. the question i get a lot is:
                    "what is the difference between silver and steel?"
                    if you don't know the difference maybe you should be spending your money on some edjumication >.>

                    also, "where is your good silver?" <.<;

                    and "This is sterling silver, that means it won't tarnish, right?" I had a lady refuse to buy anything when she found out that yes, it is silver, therefore it WILL tarnish...

                    a lot of people don't understand the concept of sterling (means that its almost completely pure silver, but they mixed other things in like copper to give it strength... when you buy silver jewelry its gonna be sterling or else it would be too soft.) but people either think it means that its low grade, or that it is magical >.>

                    and the #1 question:
                    me: hi welcome to silver jewelry store!
                    SC: hi, wheres yall's gold?

                    • This might not be the dumbest question, but it was certainly the strangest.

                      When I still worked at Kroger, I went to the back to put something away, and this guy, standing in front of the dairy section, calls me over, takes another look at the refrigerators full of milk, and then turns to me and asks "Where's the dairy section at?" I just kind of slowly pointed directly behind him, and he tells me "Oh, wow, sorry, I was smoking pot earlier. Thanks." And then he walked away. No laugh like it was a joke or anything. Didn't even go towards the dairy section.

                      Well, at least he was honest

                      • I'm on vacation this week. I was at the mall when one of our regular wholesale customers saw me and said:

                        "You're not at work today?"

                        Why yes, actually I am.

                        I know nothing and I can prove it!

                          • ok not really a question, but stupidest thing i've ever seen a customer do

                            ok a little background first, we have those cart pusher machines, and there is a cart that stay on it, and is very securely attached to the machine, we frequently see people try to take the cart, realize that's not happening, and get one inside, but this genious started tugging on the machine, i'm not sure what was running through his mind, I think he might have thought he was going to take it through the store(that's a big no-no, OSHA would shit themselves), but I left while I still had a couple brain cells in tact

                            • This thread is hilarious. I can't believe I haven't posted here yet.

                              Here's my favourite:

                              2 pm in the afternoon, all lights on, all doors open, ringing another customer in at the till, and a man comes in and says: "Oh! Are you not open?"

                              If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

                              • This isn't from a real-life store, but from one I run on an online game site.

                                "Where is this shop?"

                                This is stupid because if they knew who to ask about that particular shop, and found the link to send the message to me, chances are they were actually inside the shop at the time. This is the equilvalent of walking into Wal-Mart, listening to the greeter tell you "Welcome to Wal-Mart", hunting down a uniformed employee and asking directions to the nearest Wal-Mart.
