Of course there is no such thing. Ostensibly”stupid” questions can demonstrate the stupidity of the person asking them and are therefore very helpful to the observer.

What time does the 10 o'clock bus leave
As a teacher I’ve always taken the view that the only stupid questions are the ones we never ask.
Is the service running well on Southern?

That's pretty valid in the UK for anything that's supposed to have a schedule.

This is where I come from as well. We assume so much knowledge and understanding is shared or implicit in lots of situations when it really isn't, or where a bit of empathy is needed that people might have other stuff going on that distracts them from the obvious (to us).

I thought that asking the heads of Britain's leading businesses if they had been to Peppa Pig World was a very stupid question.

OK, picture the scene: person A standing next to a massive pile of wooden logs, looking at his phone.
Person B: Whatcha doing?
A: Looking to buy a chainsaw.
B: Why do you want a chainsaw?
*Person A glances at the wood*
A: To chop this firewood.
B: Oh right? What are you going to do with all that?
A: Use it as firewood. For my fireplace.
B: What, ALL OF IT?
A: Yes, I'll keep some in my shed.
B: Why do you want a load of firewood?
A: To keep myself warm in the middle of ****ing winter.
B: It's not that cold, is it?
A: I'm wearing two pairs of gloves, a duffle coat and the air is condensing as I reply to your StUpId QuEsTionS.
*Person C waltzes in*
C: Is that your wood?

There are no stupid questions but there are plenty of stupid answers.
What time does the 10 o'clock bus leave
If it's five past ten and the bus is still sitting at the stop it ceases to be a stupid question. Innit.
