What are some dumb questions you have been asked? |
I work for a semiconductor company which makes electronic chips. On being asked about what I do, I once told to one of my aunts that after completing my electronics engineering, I had started working in a chip designing company. |
After a pause for few seconds, she asked: |
"What are your most popular flavors? Are the chips as good as Lays??" |
I had no idea what to say. |
Conversation with a girl on the Subway in NYC : |
Her:"Are you from India?" |
Me:"Yes" |
Her:"Really unfair how we Americans just start talking about Slumdog Millionaire everytime we talk to an Indian" |
Me(Surprised because I'd never heard that before):"Ya, that's really annoying" |
Her:"I mean India isn't all slums. I was in Dubai last year, you guys lead a pretty luxurious lifestyle, dunno why only word about slums goes around" |
Me - "huh??" |
Her:"I guess its mainly because of states like Pakistan and Bangladesh!" |
Me – speechless |
"Are you sleeping?" |
The most illogical question that every student in India must have been asked by his/her teacher: |

Just doesn't make sense. |
