Dumb Question of the Day Award

[HatDaddy]

Backstory:I was having an HVAC company come to the house to give me an estimate for replacement. They called me at the office to let me knw the technician was on the way. I left the office and arrived at the house about 10 minutes after that.

20 minutes later the company calls.
XYZ Air:Mr. HatDaddy we were just calling to see when you might be arriving since our technician has been at your house for about 10 minutes now.

ME:Hmm, well I'm at my house and have been for a few minutes. Are you sure you have the correct address?

XYZ Air: Yes Sir, are you sure you're at your house?

ME:Stunned silence....

Yes, Virginia, there really are stupid questions.

I think the appropriate response at that point is:

"(muffled)...yeah, get the TV and throw the jewelry into your pockets. Leave the PS3...(mouth to receiver)You know what? Turns out I'm not at home. Can I call you back in a few weeks? (yelling) Oh ****, the heat! (drop the receiver, still yelling) Snake, head for the back fence and if they're on you, bust a cap! I ain't never going back!"

Then slam some doors in distant parts of your house until they hang up.

I am a manager at a grocery store and today a customer asked me what sizes of ice we sell. I told him we only carry the 10lb size. So he says, so you don't have any 20lb bags. I told him we kind of have 20 lb size if he picks up 2 10lb bags at a time.

Maduro's post reminds me of one time in jr. high when my brother answered the phone at our home; it was some telemarketer.

Telemarketer: Hello, may I speak with Mr. XXXXX?
Brother: He's not here right now.
Telemarketer: Okay then, can I speak with Mrs. XXXXX?
Brother: Um, she's not here either.
Telemarketer: Well then, who is this?
Brother: This is the burglar.
