i work on the waterfront, im a longshoreman, people ask me if thats by the water..................

Friend - Are you crazy?
Me - Yes, I'm crazy!

Guy - That's a third world country right?
Me - Just because it's not called USA or Canada doesn't make it a third world country!

off-topic, but did you have family working there before you got hired on ? that is such a money job.

how about stupid questions i've asked...
i went to the airport once cause it was super late and ntohing else was open and wanted to cause rukus...
so we'd go up to people and be like "OH MY GOD....WHAT YEAR IS IT?!?!?! " then they'd respond...then i'd say "THATS AWESOME! I STILL HAVE TIME!!!" and pretend to run for my life
oh it was good times at the airport at 5am

someone once asked me what the stupidest question i've ever been asked was...i was like...wtf!

"Hey its 5am, instead of sleep what can we do, I know!, Hoggers and Harass the people in the airpot!"

exactly.

^ lol you brought such an old thread back to life but ihvae somethign to contribute


used to work at superstore..
Customer: "how long does the five day service take for pictures?"
Me: "Five days from now."

I work at Mr Lube now, and once had a customer come up to me, i was in street clothes
Person: "My tire's broken, can you fix it?"
Me: "sorry we're closed and we don't fix tires"
Person: " But my tire's broken."
wasn't really that dumb of a question just dumb logic, like i could magically fix tires because her tires were flat.

also had a customer come to me when i was closed and in my street clothes, and kept asking me to check her car's check engine light. bitch.


Once i was taking a taxi to Universal Studios in cali. and the taxi driver asked,
TD: " so you're chinese right?"
Me: "yes"
TD: "how come your english is so good?"
Me: " what do you mean?"
TD: "you're chinese right? how come your english is so good?"
this went on for a little while until i told him i'm from Vancouver, which made him go
TD: "oh Vancouver? that's near New York right? must be cold everyday"


that's my contribution

Back in the day when I worked at A&W at Seafair Mall in Richmond...

I watched a lady and her son park in front of our store. The kid gets out and walks inside. He comes up to me and asks "do you have a drive-through?" I give him a weird look, I kinda do one long look around the whole store and say "not that i know of...". He just walks out of the store and they drive off. Morons, seriously, wouldn't you see some sign of or for a drive-through located somewhere around the store? Not to mention the fact that there's no way to actually drive up to the building, which is quite obvious.

Every time I go to a Cantonese dinner:

"Do you want to order sweet and sour pork?"

And one from my gf's sister, who works at a hotel in Richmond:

(American person): "Are there any real Chinese restaurants in this city? You know, ones that serve food like sweet and sour pork, chop suey, egg rolls, and things like that"

Almost every day at work:

Guest: Okay so I can't smoke, but do you have washrooms inside?
Me: *stares at the person with an absolutely straight face* No, but we have an outhouse outback.

I went to school with a guy from South Africa and I asked him most those questions but at least I did it in jest. :)

I was talking to a lady who phoned in for tech support.. wow.. I should do a tech support thread. But I asked her as part of standard troubleshooting:

"Ma'am, what time zone are you in?"
"....American time..."
"No, ma'am. What time is on your clock right now?"
(at this point I was going to do the math to figure it out)
"Its right now"

.....

"What state are you in?"
"Illinois"
"Okay, that would make you in the central time zone"
"No, I'm in America. AM-ER-I-CA"

when working at a dealership, a lady, in her own van, drove up to ask me:

"umm, where handbrake off"

...then i got mad

i love it when Chopstick goes to the cashier holding the item on sale, with the freaking sale price tag on, asking

"umm yes hi (o____o)... is... this on sale?"

they get very mad sometimes (>__<)

I was at a conference in Manila and met up with a friend and some of his gf's. Im working in China so the name tag lanyard for the conference stated "CHINA" after my name.

So, in case you don't get it...say my name is John Smith, the tag would read exactly like this:

John
Smith
CHINA

Anyways, my friends gf comes up to me and says...wow, John Smith China, and you work in China too, that is such a coinicidence !!!

Wow, the ignorance of some americans is off the scale, stupidly ridiculous..

oh oh! and once, when i was sky super high and surrounded by 5 cops and boxed in by 3 cop cruisers, when they were asking what we was doing, i suddenly went:

"...can i have a smoke ms officer? (@___@)~~..."

dude the moment was soo awkward... u can literally hear the crickets >.<....

while making a lady her coffee many moons ago at bread garden:
lady: so...
me: ...how's it going
lady: .....
me: rolls my eyes
lady: ...ok...which part of the orient are you from?!?!
me: um...excuse me?
lady: which - - part - - of the - - orient - - are - - you from?
me: yeeeaahhh...here's your drink.......

What the hell?

It always puzzled me when people ask me: "What do you ride?". I really don't know what to say to that. It's not often you have one of these people knowing anything about motorcycles. My answer to that have progressively simplified. It went from zzr-250, to ninja 250, to kawasaki 250, to sport 250. I'm tempted to just answer with sport now (seems like thats usually all they want to know).
