And just because I'm a social worker, it doesn't give you the automatic right to swear and shout at me with no consequence..... Dick.

My favorite one as a social worker, "You don't even HAVE kids, what gives you the right to tell me how to raise MINE??" Uh, seriously, I'm pretty sure even people WITH kids will tell you that sexually assaulting them is WRONG.

My personal favorites with Frodo:

(after telling them that he isn't good with strangers)
"Oh, he'll like me!"
"I'm a dog person and they can tell!"
"But all dogs like me!"
"Awww, was he abused?" *pouty sad face*
"That's too bad, he's so cute!"

"I pay your wages!!!!!!"

Usually in response to being caught dumping hazardous materials into the landfill, or some other thing equally wrong, that I should simply ignore because as taxpayers they "Pay my wages" well, I am a taxpayer too.... One who does not want to shell out thousands upon thoudands of dollars to clean contamination up, never mind the damage to the environment!!!

The worst of it is, we run FREE hazardous waste disposal days twice a month at each site... So it's not like they have to jump through hoops or pay to properly dispose of the stuff!!!

Honest to God, some day I am going to snap back and say "Really? Well how about a raise then!!!" but that would only get me in trouble, instead I tow the line with the bland responses that I am trained to give....

Ahh yes, the age old "do you have kids?".

Nope. I don't need to know what hard work it is having them to understand they need feeding on a regular basis and not to watch you kick the sh!t out of each other....

OH, one of my FAVORITES I got way too often when working criminal defense: "that's not what my cellmate told me the law was/I should do/I could do."

And then there was the pro-bono client who recounted to me how, when he was being interrogated and told by the cops that he was going to face the death penalty for shooting a guy while robbing him, he told them "I wasn't robbing him, he'd already paid me all the cash he had for the 8 ball I sold him." BTW, there were all sorts of bullets flying in that one, including from the gun of the guy who caught one. The security videos showed the shooter the cops wanted to say was our guy -- right handed. Our guy was left-handed. Lots of stupid to go around in THAT case.

"Why are you not married? Have you been divorced? No one as pretty as you could still be single! Why don't you have kids yet?"

And my all-time favorite "How's the weather down there?"

All of the above, with one difference, "how's the weather UP there."

Oh, yah, and "is it true what they say about redheads?"

Still, those service dog ones top all of ours for pure ignoramus obnoxiousness.

When I graduated college, I had so many conversations that went like this:

Person: "What's your degree in?"

Me: "Psychology."

Person: "Do you have a job lined up yet?"

Me: "Yes, I'm a dog trainer."

Person: "When are you going to get a job where you'll use your degree?"



Me: "Actually, I'm using my degree right now in this conversation."

Okay. This is just random stupidness posted on a FB convo but

Did ypu know not spaying a girl cat can cause Kitty breast cancer?

Upon finding out that I'm a dba/sysadmin/tech support type person:

"I think I got a virus"
"Do you know where my icons went?"
"I think I need more RAM. Is that easy?"
"My computer was slow, so I figured I needed more memory and started deleting files I don't use. I must have triggered a virus because it won't boot now." (Yes, I've heard this one more than once)
"Which wireless modem should I buy?"
"This program I bought isn't working right? Do you know what's wrong?"
etc...

A former choir director of mine posted this on facebook and it made me laugh...
