Stupid Questions

Maybe he indirectly gave you a hint
"clean the wall jelly"

Some people do it this way, instead of being direct, especially in families I see this "hidden" messages happen a lot

Then her correct response would have been, "Because you haven't cleaned it off yet."

If you have time enough to comment on it, you have time enough to clean it up.

I don't think it was in this case. He was painting the wall, and his tone was genuinely curious.

If he'd have wanted it cleaned up, he would have added an f-bomb to the question.

When I worked retail "Do you work here?"

I am more careful with that one... I went up to someone at Target and started asking about a product. They were actually not an employee. They were just wearing a red shirt.

That said, Americans celebrate other nation's holidays just for an excuse to drink and party. I'm surprised we haven't appropriated Guy Fawkes day, yet. We love bonfires.

My husband's working on that.

I have a few watches, i stopped wearing one because i use the time on phone. But sometimes it's easy to look at a clock

I'm surprised anyone still uses a watch.

Balls are balls. They seem to be pointless regardless of color

Footballs are pointed irrespective of color.

I get asked that all the time even though I'm not dressed anything like the employees.
When I worked at Arbys the lady working drive through was asked "how many pieces of chicken come in the four pack?"

When I was working the quarter toss in the carnival, I had more than one person come up to me and ask me how many quarters they got for a dollar.

One night the guy working the 'dozer' :Coin Pusher Game Vintage Carnival Bulldozer 5 Player | #345334656
decided to exploit the stupidity and the addictive nature of the game and started only giving people 2 or 3 (can't remember exactly) quarters for a dollar. He made a killing.
