O/T dumb or weird comments made to you

I was at the store yesterday when a woman needed directions to another establishment.
AS I gave her directions,she just stared at me. When done talking, she said "Thank you ,and oh, by the way,are those your eye color or belong to Bausch and Lomb"
HUH??!!
Weird..I said,no they are mine" She laughed and walked out.
I have REALLY REALLY blue eyes,that get even brighter whenIM upset or sick. Once someone asked me if they were real,and I pulled out my CLEAR contact and showed them.
Sorry,its just weird.
Tis like asking me if my kids are ALL mine,even thought they all look alike,look like me and walk by me like little ducklings

lol, i've had people ask me stupid questions too. i have 4 little ones and 3 out of the 4 have blue eyes. i lost count of how many times someone would say "what pretty blue eyes. where did he/she get them??? you know this is just asking for a sarcastic response but i just stare at them until they realize that my eyes are blue as well. i've even had people who have known me for years ask that question the first time they meet one of my kids.

i find it stupid to ask where kids got their eye color, hair color,complexion,etc. my hair used to be blond to the point i looked albino until i was around 5 years old. it then became dirty blond and now is brown (with a few greys sprouting out ) people will ask where my son gets his blond hair all of the time.

Let's just say I've put on a few pounds since high school. I'm 6'1". In high school I was pretty scrawny so I have to laff when people ask, "Did you play football in high school?" Yeah, sure, defensive tackle! LOL

I love hamburgers. the only thing i put on then is ketchup. It never fails that no matter where i go and order a "hamburger with ketchup only on it" it never fails that I am asked "WOULD YOU LIKE CHEESE ON THAT" to which i am forced to reply "would I not have ordered a cheeseburger with ketchup only"
stupid i know but thats mine i guess

When i was a little bit younger (like 4 years ago) I used tyo dye my hair blonde (its brown). This is also the same time I used to work at the junk yard, and whenever i did it, people always asked if i just washed my hair

Also my hair is VERY VERY curly, and alot of times i dont gel it down (especially now, i just sweet it all out anyways) so when i do gel it, i always get the "you get a hair cut" syndrome because it lays flatter than my normal afro.

hey me too.


on the related note I work at a Honda Dealership and always get cutomers phoning to see if they cars are ready.

RING - RING
"Honda Service"
"Yeah is my car ready"
"Let me check, which car is it?"
" Oh the Honda."
"Okay which one?"
" The silver one"

Silver is the most popular colour here, there are at least 10 silver Honda
here for service all day , every day, half of them park beside each other.
Just one of those things I guess.

I love when I get this question after I order toast for breakfast....

Do you want white toast?

I always ask, "Isn't that just bread?"

(I know what the mean by the way )

All time best is when I was asked if my ice cream cone at McDonalds was "for here or to go?"

Heres another one,
When I used to work at the little corner gas station. it would never fail that a customer would come in to the store and ask for "$25.00 gas on that little red car out there" to which I would have to reply "good thing you are getting it out there as we stopped selling gas in the store a long time ago"
