I have been asked this question two times over the past year. Both times I think it was the other persons mouth engaging before their brain did. Sounds harsh? Let me explain.
On both occasions, I was arriving at the gym and bumping into someone I vaguely knew. To paint the picture, I would haven been in my full workout attire, trainers, iPod and little fleece work out hat. And the complex I was entering was a gym. Nothing more, no pools, no ice, just a gym.
The question that was sprung at me was " hi there, have you err just been swimming?"
Both times I had no understanding of why the question was bring asked, but a few hours later it dawned on me. My sports cap looks somewhat like a swim cap.
Ok so I get the link. But duh???!
1. In both cases there was no pool within a 10 mile radius
2. And if I had been swimming, why oh why, would I keep the swim hat on, whilst getting completely dried and changed and changing the location??
Madness.
But you know what, I bet both of these men, actually realised their question was a little out of place, during the time that followed. And possibly even felt a little awkward, even silly when realising that I could not have been wearing a swim hat.
Either way. There are dumb questions after all.
