Stupid People Asking Smart Questions
Well working in retail it never ceases to amaze me how stupid people really are.
Top 10 Stupid Things I have heard while working in best buy.
10. Do you all sell computers? (Customer is standing looking at them)
9. Where are the iPods? (While looking at large sign that has a picture of an iPod on it)
8. Do you sell Dell Computers?
7. Do you take cash? (My Comment as long as it is in American currency:-D)
6. Is it a good thing when my computer monitor is smoking? (UM NO)
5. O MY Gosh, are those USB Cables really 32 dollars? (DUH we just mark things way high to get reactions like yours.)
4. What kind of deal can you cut me? (HOW ABOUT NOTHING)
The Next few require a little more detail and imagination to understand the stupidity of people.
3. I booted up my computer and I don’t see any picture. Me: is the monitor on? Lady: How do I tell? Me: Is there a small light turned on somewhere on the monitor? Lady: No Me: is it plugged into the wall? Lady: Yes Me: ok is the monitor plugged into the computer Lady: The computer well isn’t that the thing with the screen. Me: Is the tower plugged into the wall and is the keyboard and mouse plugged into the tower Lady: The what? …. 20 minutes later we finally come to figure out that she has not even open the box that the tower came in and she just sat up the monitor and plugged it in and pushed the button on the monitor to turn on the computer. What she had been doing for years with her old computer was leaving it on all the time and she would turn on and off the monitor to “boot up” the computer.
2. A family walks in and it is apparent that the only person who speaks English is the 12-14 year old daughter. They began to converse in Spanish and I walk up to them and ask them if there is anything I can help them with. The girl then proceeds to ask if we sell wood. I was a little confused and asked what will you be using it for? She answers for building a deck. Remember at the time I was working at Office Max an electronics and office supply store. I told her that she needed to go to Home Depot that was directly across the street.
And the Number 1 Smart Question is…………
1. Do I have to worry about my cat eating the mouse? Her son said no mom the mouse is how you control the computer and she was like oh ok. A little while longer as I am explaining to them a few more things u could tell she was still thinking about the mouse that was some where in the computer to control it. As I mention and point to the DVD-ROM drive she points to the DVD-ROM drive and asks if that’s how u feed the little bugger.
Do I really need to same more? God Bless those people who unwillingly say stupid things that make my life a little more amusing.
