There's a famous saying: "There is no such thing as a stupid question." Even astrophysicist Carl Sagan thought that "every question is a cry to understand the world." Yet the questions that the people in this list were asked would probably elicit an "I'm not mad, just disappointed" headshake even from Sagan.
A few months ago, one Redditor asked others to share the dumbest questions someone legitimately asked them. And, boy, did people not disappoint, as almost 8,000 netizens rushed to the comments to share some instances of others being dumb.
Bored Panda got in touch with the author of this thread, u/Isellkidsontemu. They kindly agreed to have a chat with us about what prompted them to post this question and whether there really is no such thing as a dumb question.
