These are real things real people said to me today for real.
"How much are motor mounts for a '94 Miata? I'm putting an R34 engine in it, do you think stock mounts will work?"
"One more thing, how hard do you think it is to put an RX-8 motor that Miata?"
(customer asks for touch up paint for his Mazda3)
Me: Do you have the paint code?
Him: It's rusting
Me: (looking for signs he's joking...... nope, just heard me wrong, but I almost LOL'd)

Lol, how hilarious. RX-8 swap is a thing people actually do occasionally, but still.

Why would you ask a dealer, anyways? We are not a performance shop, it's not like we race V8 swapped Miatas on the weekend. So silly.

I was always under the impression the Renesis was a better DD engine than the 13b, but the 13b takes to boost better and is better for people who are crazy enough to do rotary swaps in the first place. Is thay not true?

It's an engine not a motor! A Tesla has a motor!

Dumbest thing I've ever heard from a customer ( multiple actually): "Do you guys take cash?"
I work at a grocery store.

>customer hands me a check for 45$
>I ask if there's any particular way they'd like their cash back
"Three fifteen dollar bills, please"
>HA HA SO FAHNNY NEXT I BET YOU'LL ASK IF I HAVE ANY HUNDREDS TO GIVE OUT
"this is two twenties and a five, I wanted fifteen dollar bills."
"Oh, I apologize, I misunderstood you."
>hand her a twenty, a ten, fifteen 1's
"I said that I wanted THREE FIFTEEN DOLLAR BILLS. WHERE IS YOUR MANAGER?"
There's a betting pool on which of my coworkers (and myself) has an aneurysm first.
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

So I guy goes into the counterfeit business, and his first product is a beautiful $19 bill. To test it out he goes to the local convenience store to buy at $1 lottery ticket. He hands the bill to the cashier. The guy examines it for a minute and then asks the question "How do you want your change - two nines or three sixes?"
I'll show myself out now...

while I haven't been asked this specifically, I've had situations like it.

Let me know when you get idiots like I do who ask where the fish counter is in the store when the guy is looking at me standing underneath a 6' by 4' sign with the word 'FISH' on it or when another guy asked if our pork and beef were 'free range' as if he was talking about chickens or eggs.
People are stupid, but you can't cure stupid so we may as well get on with it and shrug it off as something that is beyond our control.
