<p>Some people say there are no stupid questions. I have to disagree. In college people tend to ask VERY stupid questions. So what are the worst questions you've heard?</p>
<p>The ones who make nasty comments to people asking questions are the idiots, not the question askers.</p>
<p>a lot of those questions are asked because people did not do the assigned reading/homework etc, so I really don’t think it’s nasty to call those dumb or at least get annoyed. that or not so much dumb questions as questions that clearly should be asked in office hours rather than during lecture</p>
<p>For a paper assigned in my geography class, a student asked “do we need use correct grammar?”</p>
<p>I’m an English major; this question actually made me angry.</p>
<p>The worst questions are the ones about the stuff the teacher said five seconds before.</p>
<p>This happens quiet regularly to me. </p>
<p>The teacher will spend five minutes talking about something a student has asked, and then as soon as he/she finishes, she/he’ll ask if there are any more questions, and another student will raise his/her hand and ask the exact same question.</p>
<p>PAY ATTENTION! </p>
<p>I wish I could just scream that at people sometimes…</p>
<p>After the professor clearly explained that the test would be an hour long, he then says that he will give us a heads up at the 30min mark…</p>
<p>■■■■■■- “so like 30mins in or 30mins left”?</p>
<p>but I actually just stole that from here… <a href=“Dropout - Independent, ad-free, uncensored comedy | Dropout”>Dropout - Independent, ad-free, uncensored comedy | Dropout;
<p>once in my high school class someone said “what’s a brain?” not even kidding. the whole class said “something you don’t have”</p>
<p>none of you are going to believe me, but it’s true, I swear</p>
<p>pics or didn’t happen.</p>
<p>Not exactly a stupid question, but I have heard the stupidest answer ever.</p>
<p>In AP World we were practicing how to analyze documents for a DBQ and we get to a document that’s basically the translation of a clay tablet written in cuneiform. The teacher asked: Can anyone tell me what time period this might have been written in?</p>
<p>So this kid raises his hand and (not jokingly) answers: Probably some time in the early morning because the tablet needed to bake in the sun.</p>
<p>No pics, but it actually happened, but since you don’t believe me, here’s one that’s more believable.</p>
<p>This one happened in the last week of senior year of HS, when finals were going on and it was the last week for seniors. Classes were set up so that each class was long, there were only 2-3 classes per day, and we only had each class once that week to make time for the exam taking…you guys all know what I"m talking about. So anyways, this guy had made it his goal to cuss out the teacher on the last day of class. He was one of those punk wannabe emo freshman guys (this was an elective with grades 9-12 in it) who tried to be badass and was really just a twit. Anyways, so he <em>thinks</em> it’s the last day of class, but really it’s only the last day for seniors, not for him. He goes and cusses out the teacher over something really lame, like her telling him to get his book out. He looked like a non-badass idiot, the whole class laughed at him, and he found out he was stuck in class for another week.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be “that guy” but I’m gonna need pics for that one too.</p>
<p>Any question that is asked within the last 2 minutes of the class ending.</p>
<p>“What if she deserved to be beaten?” – a dumb freshman in a medieval literature survey course, re: The Wife of Bath’s Tale.</p>
<p>the tablet thing made me lmao</p>
<p>
Incidentally, we just read this in my English class.</p>
<p>This was in a senior class in high school, but still worst I’ve ever heard. –> “What’s the Holocaust?”</p>
<p>EDIT: Also from the same girl, “Do penguins really drive boats like in Madagascar?”</p>
<p>“Baghdad is in Poland, right?”</p>
<p>^ I hope that wasn’t at Michigan.</p>
<p>Oh god no, that was a senior girl at my high school a couple years ago. I would hope she doesn’t go to college.</p>
