There are no stupid questions......

.....only stupid people. I'm trying to think of the dumbest question ever asked to me by a customer......right now this is the one that comes to mind.

"This bottle says take 2 tablets every 6 hours, how many of these should I take?"

I would refer you sir, to the first part of your question......

Once I had a customer ask me how often they were to take an antibiotic. My reply of, "one capsule four times a day," was followed by, "yes, but how often do I take it?" The response genuinely puzzled me (though it probably shouldn't have). Alas, holding up fingers to help explain this the second time around was of absolutely no assistance in getting the point/dosage across.
I can't help but wonder on a daily basis how these morons make it through life.
