What is the dumbest but 100% serious thing that someone has said to you?

My sister thought diet pills were low calorie pills. Her actual quote was, wait, diet pills aren't

for losing weight? They're not just a healthier version of regular pills? Is it bad that I understand

how she could get confused? You stupid idiot, how can there be shadows on the moon if there's no gravity?

Working in retail and a customer came up to me and said in a very angry tone,

What is that noise? You need to tell your manager to fix whatever that is. That's rain. It's raining outside, lady.

I will say when I worked at a big warehouse store, when it rained hard, it was pretty loud.

We were in a car and an ambulance passed us with its lights on. My friend turned to me with a very

serious look on her face and asked, if you were a blind and deaf car driver, how could you know

how to pull over for the ambulance? That became her senior quote.

I had a similar thought the other day. My younger sister asked me why ambulance have flashing lights.

I said that it was to get the attention of drivers, especially those that may be deaf.

I then thought to myself, the loud sirens must be to get the attention of blind drivers.

You would think that blind

driving is an obvious no-no, right? Well I learned recently that blind people can

legally get a license to carry, which is pretty wild to me. My then 16-year-old

sister once told me while cutting an onion, God, why do they put the paper on

these onions so tight? She actually thought the skin of an onion was some kind of wrapper.

I used to work in a kitchen, and one of the pot washers was cleaning a slicer, and not exactly being careful.

I told him the correct way to do it, so he didn't chance cutting any of his fingers.

With a straight face and being completely serious, he told me that he didn't care if he cut his fingers off.

It would just grow back, like a starfish.
