What is the dumbest question anyone has asked you?

WAIT I just remembered. 

I HAVE ONE THAT TOPS IT. 

When I was a junior in high school, we were talking about tsunamis. (I honestly have no idea WHY we were, but I remember how we discussed tsunamis happening as a result of earth quakes.) Anyway the background is that a tsunami causes water to recede from the shoreline; building a giant wave out in the water, before the wave comes full force crashing into the beach and whatever is in its way. 

Well, this girl didn't understand and interrupted the teacher to say "where does the ocean go? like where does it go?". My teacher stopped mid sentence, looked at her and asked, "where do you think it goes? like the entire ocean? Where does the entire ocean go?.. It doesn't go anywhere." 

and I don't think I've laughed harder since that moment. 

"where does the ocean go?" even though I think I knew what she meant, it was just so funny. 

lol                      

Customer pulled out a Starbucks gift card and asked if we were a Starbucks.

I work at an outlet grill, the kind where you can see all the food being made. A burger was being cooked like... six feet away from me. Our menus are very clear and display the name of our restaurant. We have posters up with big pictures of our meals. My uniform is a BRIGHT blue, too.

I was just... flabbergasted.

She tipped me a dollar for just a drink, so that was nice.

So, I own a raccoon, so you expect for me to get a lot of weird questions, and here's my favorite:

I was in a group chat on discord, when somebody was like "My cat just bit me." so we started to talk about pets and stuff. I sent them a picture of my raccoon, and they all (Besides those who already knew) started freaking out over the raccoon (In a good way, I mean.) and had all started asking questions. I remember this one kid going "lmao do they dig holes in trees, where they hide all their trash?" and I had no idea if it was a joke or not, but I still found it pretty funny.

Awww!            

I was the dumbass who asked the question. I was in a noodles & co. and I asked the cashier it they had straws. The straws were right across the counter from me, I could see them. I asked them that cause I didn't want to make their job harder. I know how irrational it was lmao. What is wrong with me

Oh I've done that Stormy!! I've also done the "can I get a straw" when the straws were just... on the other side of the soda fountain >.>

I worked in a nursing home kitchen. It was almost time to leave, we had already cleaned all the dishes, resident pages down and wants a grilled cheese sandwich. I told my fellow worker to just toast bread, put cheese in between toast pieces, nuke it in the microwave until cheese melts. Boom, cheater grilled cheese and we don't have to rewash anything.

She dead serious looks at me and asks, "So, what, do I put the cheese in between the bread and then stick it in the toaster? Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

*FACEPALM*

She was not the sharpest at times.

Mine isn't the dumbest ever but it was fairly dumb regardless. I am an artist and I was in school drawing my OCs and animalistic characters. This lady, who was watching me very obviously draw, had the nerve to say ''Oh my GOD did you draw that?'' Like nah y'know I was just riding some giraffe drinking some milk... I didn't draw that
