'Could you fax us some paper for the fax machine?': 25 Times coworkers asked utterly clueless questions

These employees were baffled by the things their coworkers said. As you grow up, you realize that the public education system doesn't teach us everything — and in fact, plenty of people believe myths or are misinformed about things for years.

U/see-bees decided to query the r/askreddit community when they asked, "What's the stupidest thing you've had to explain to a coworker?" In the comments, people roasted their coworkers, sharing the funny things they've said.

I've probably been the person who says dumb things far more often than I'd like to admit. But one particularly funny one to me now, looking back, happened when I was working morning shifts at the golden arches. It was about six in the morning, and while stationed at one of my first drive thru shifts, I took an order for a person who wanted an "egg muffin." I was like, "We don't sell muffins," thinking of a typical blueberry muffin, not an Egg McMuffin. The person was really confused, and drove away. I did that several times before I realized it was actually the main sandwich on the menu, and I'd been telling people we did not sell such a thing. I'll never forget the shocked look on my manager's face when they heard me say it, I felt very silly. What a true fail for the ages!
