Two in one weekend.
The two stupidest things I've ever heard both took place in the same weekend. The first was in New York City, around Union Square. There was a woman standing on the corner, on her cell phone. She looked lost, and had an out-of-town accent. She said the following:

"Well I don't know where I am. Let's see. There's, uh, there's a Starbucks, and a subway entrance, and some road construction."

The second was two days later, standing on line at a grill. There was a man there in his late fourties, and a woman with him that could have been his daughter, but clearly wasn't. It was a hot August day, the hottest of the year. This is what I heard.

Woman: Oh, that reminds me. That meat I took off my sandwich and put in my purse?
Man: Yeah?
Woman: It's still in there. I think I left it in the car.
Man: Oh.
Woman: Yeah, it's been in there all day.
Man: Oh.
Woman: Do you think it's still okay to eat?
