The question itself isnt particularly stupid, but the intent was weird. In a job interview, I was asked what I like to eat for lunch. But they weren't asking because they were looking to take me to lunch. They were asking because they claimed what I eat for lunch has something to do with my personality.

A person I hardly even knew asked me once if how many pounds do I weigh. It's not that that is to be kept a secret, I just didn't see the sense for him asking a question like that out of the blue. Had I been obese or something, maybe he asked that out of curiousity or if I was thin as a wire.

I context, I would say it happened when I was going in for an operation and the nurse went down the list of questions,
she asked " have you ever been pregnant?"
I answered know,
then a few questions later, "have you ever had a baby"
now after answering no to the first question this was rather stupid.
it was long before test tube babies, surrogate mothers, etc.

I am often asked 'what do you eat?' when people find out I'm a vegan. It really annoys me as there are loads of foods that I can eat, but people don't really think before they ask the question.

Oh! I thought of another good one. My oldest son has long curly hair, but he's very butch looking. One day we were taking a walk, he was dressed in a very "boy" outfit, blue and cars and a black haseball cap. One women stopped us to compliment me on my "daughter's hair". I thanked her, but politely said that he is a boy. She looked at him, looked at me then asked "Are you sure?" No lady, I've only been changing his diaper since birth. I could be wrong. LOL

Yes, by one of my friends when she asked if we could eat our lunch. It was lunch break and i clearly told her before she asked that question. I laugh at that even today. She actually didnt attend the college in the first so she was very confused, and there she goes with that stupid question.

Oh you ruined my joke..
Erm, It would probably be something along the lines of "have we met before" I've had quite a few people ask me this over the years and it's quite stupid to ask someone.
Most of times I don't know who the heck they are and I always remember a face. Names are a different thing! laugh out loud. =)
Kudos,
