As we call them in my house, Stupid Dumb Ass Questions. Post your favourites, from straight jobs, the clubs, the family, or anywhere else.
Starting w/ the gems I hear in my tourist-centric retail job. Sadly, I am not making any of these up.
Do you speak English? (Often asked even b4 they hear me speak to notice my accent)
What's the official language here?
Do you take American dollars?
How is it that we don't need our passports to travel here? You guys aren't actually part of the US, are you?
So, do you guys, like, actually have any schools down here? (Asked by a grown ass man from IL who had been bragging abt his Masters degree)
So, how do all the cars get here? Are they just floated over? How else do you travel to the US since you're not connected to any mainland? (We have been connected to the FL mainland for over a century)
Why are you adding on sales tax? All my stuff here is tax-free, right? Since y'all are part of the Bahamas?
*** insert Spanish For Dummies guidebook phrases asked by English-speaking tourists who haven't noticed that the majority of locals do, in fact, speak English ***
Do you have to be full-on queer to get residency here, or is 'just bi' ok? I'm fully straight of course, but I think I could fake being bi if I have to
Do you guys actually get internet or phone service here? (No ma'am, all communications are delivered via carrier pigeon)
So was English hard for you to learn? i would think it's not too bad since there is sm similarity to Spanish (implying that we still belong to Cuba/Spain so Spanish is therefore my default tongue)
(in similar vein) How is it that you speak French? You guys still belong to Cuba, right??

This will be important in a minute. Their complaint? 
(The walls aren't, but I'm trying to see if they can catch on). The engineers still don't get it.
