As anybody who's ever worked in any kind of service industry will know, customers can be pretty hard work sometimes. But even though they can drive you nuts, occasionally they come out with something so ridiculous that you simply have to laugh.

When Redditor PrinceETheTruth asked people "what is the dumbest question a customer has ever asked you?" he probably didn't expect them to be so dumb. Below you'll find some of the most amusing, the most ridiculous, and the most unbelievable questions ever asked by customers.

    So the question may not have been dumb, but the person clearly was.

    I love when people say that. Like this isn't our first day. We know what we are doing. By the way, could I see your marketing/business/finance degree that makes you so good at "business".

    Someone brought in a shetland pony to a deer checking station, with its bridle on, thinking it was a deer. Yes, they had shot it.

    I'd bet this guy knew damn well that he was making a ridiculous request and that is the sole reason he did it. Because people like that get off on thinking they have such power over a useless service person.
