Stupid things friends / co-workers have said to you

[Dark_Angel]

A thread for the "please tell me that person did not just say that".

Obviously, do not name any names.

I will start with perhaps 2 of my favs.

Friends conversation with his father a few years ago.

Dad: "Do you want any custard?"
Son: "um, what type?"
Dad: "Birds custard"
Son: "Birds custard? Is that made from real birds like chickens or whatever?"



(worse part is he actually told me and another friend of that conversation).

Another friend, calling me.

Him: "Hi, I am just installing windows Vista and need to ask something real quick"
Me: "What is the problem?"
Him: "I am on the license screen, do I chose accept yeah?"
Me: "No... you chose you decline and you don't install the OS on your BLANK hard drive"
Him: "really? so what do I need to do"
Me: *sad sigh*

Well anyways, as per normal, no personal attacks / naming of people or whatever

Oh! thought of another.

A temp girl I was working with complained about the stairs in our old place, and I said "its not that bad, its only 13 steps on each flight, and only 4 flights) so only 52 in total.

She then asked "well how many is it going down then?"

Bit of a thread resurrection but I've just remembered something a girl at a previous work said.

I used to freeze a half filled bottle of water for drinking in work as the place was usually too hot, nothing particularly hard to grasp there except for this poor girl who asked me in all seriousness "how do you get that big chunk of ice into the bottle?" - I don't think I ever actually answered her, I was so stunned that I could only stare at her for about a minute then walked off. I wasn't paid anywhere near enough to deal with that level of stupidity.

How does someone like that remember how to walk and breathe at the same time ?

Something along the lines of this.

Her " I hate it when you get a pot belly after eating, is that the why the ethiopian kids always look like that is it because they have just eaten?"

It's wrong - but I laughed at that
