What is the most stupid question you have ever been asked by a client/customer?
I don't mean questions that seem obvious because of job-specific knowledge or experience. I mean really stupid questions, the sort that make you look at somebody and wonder if they are taking the p**s...
My best has to be a woman coming out with:
"I know that I get my cold water from the water board. Do they supply my hot water too, or is it British Gas? I only ask because I'm paying bills to both and I'm not sure if I should be."
After I explained about cold water coming in, then going through the boiler and getting heated up by gas she didn't seem embarrased, she just said something like "well I never knew that" and took a big gulp of tea.
I'm still not sure to this day if she was seriously that stupid or doing it for a dare. I was half expecting Beadle, or some other hidden-cam comedy chappie to pop up.
