Back in my teenage years, when I juggled summer jobs like a circus act, I had my fair share of questionable experiences. 

I remember reluctantly rolling out of bed, donning my unfashionable work vest like the law-abiding citizen I was, then plastering on a fake smile as I took my place behind the counter—another tedious day of capitalism. 

It wasn’t long before a customer walked up to me and gave me a once-over as if taking everything in. The sleep-deprived eyes, tight smile, and a matching grin of despair on the ID dangling like a noose around my neck.

Then the craziest thing happened. Their eyes widened with curiosity as they sincerely blurted out the most absurd question ever—“Do you work here?” It’s noteworthy to mention that the name of the corporation was printed in block letters right across my non-fashion-forward work vest.

Now, let me tell you, some questions are so mind-bogglingly nonsensical that they practically beg for a snappy, snarky response. If you've ever been on the receiving end of an inquiry that made you question the state of humanity's collective intelligence, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

But fear not, because we've rounded up 21 instances where people had the perfect comeback to utterly stupid questions—comebacks that would’ve served me well in my heydays (even though they probably came with a 99% risk of losing my job).

Through the roof. Duh

There’s always that one guy…

Uhm, Morals?

Let's also outlaw seat belts and make oxygen illegal while we're at it. 

Ah, yes, because nothing says discomfort like a sprinkle of racial profiling mixed with a dash of inappropriate stereotypes.

Easy, just chain him to the bed.

How dare they have a life beyond work?! Unacceptable.

Okay, I feel attacked.

Legend has it their Twitter account disappeared the next day due to the sheer weight of shame.

I couldn’t agree more.

I’d contact a highly skilled plastic surgeon and go off the grid immediately if I were him. 

Personally, I don’t see any valid reason why men can’t spend every waking moment in a sharp three-piece suit—just saying.

The fear of losing our self-respect…

This is a tough one

There’s no such thing as a coincidence.

Help.

Valid question. 

FYI.

By decree of the court of adulthood, all 'grown men' found wielding controllers will be charged with having too much fun. Consider this your warning!

A perfect reply to ignorance

Ouch! This is savage

Is this a threat?

A very interesting question

I’d go off the grid immediately if I were this person

The fear of being mistaken for an Olive Garden waiter

Definitely common sense. Who wants to hang their partner off a cliff?

A god vs a guy in a Halloween costume. That’s not a fair fight

Brilliant women who are doubting if they’re qualified to run for office need to see this

Which of them is the famous one? We’re all confused

The way some people jump into conclusion needs to be studied

FYI

What do you call these type of mirrors?

As you can see, sense often takes a backseat in these modern times. Yet, these quick-witted individuals pave the way for the too-polite bunch by banishing ignorance with their razor-sharp wit.

So, the next time you find yourself face-to-face with an utterly stupid question, take a page from the playbook of these comedic geniuses.

We’d love to get your thoughts on this post. Join the conversation in the comments.
