I was at the El Cajon Classic Cruise night just before Halloween, dressed as Doc, and a woman comes up to me and says "Did you know they shipped these from the factory with the tires loaded with cocaine?"
Ohhhh-kaaaayyy... I was dumbfounded and all I could come up with was "Really. That's interesting." I would have corrected her but was being bombarded by trick-or-treaters (it was trunk or treat night) and dozens of photo requests.
I overheard a guy passing by with his girlfriend/wife during a TechSession in my friend Dave's (sdg3205) garage:
Him, after both saw my car with the doors open: "Yes, that's the car (timemachine from BTTF), and later they decided to make a real car out of it."
I had to facepalm myself.

The way I see it, if you're gonna drive around in a car, why not do it with some style?

More Creepy than Stupid:
I was in line one morning getting coffee. Some guy comes up and puts his arm on my shoulder and says "You left your lights on.."
Umm, I have a battery kill switch so I know that's not true but I say "Oh, weird, which ones?" and he says the running lights are on. I said "Okay, thanks, good to know." Then (he still has his arm on my shoulder) "Yeah, I wouldn't want you to break down. Then I'd have to come to your apartment." with a creepy 'guess why' look on his face.. I look at him like he's a serial killer and then he says "because you don't know this but I live around the corner from you." I think I was still looking at him like he was a serial killer and the people in front and behind me in line looked at him like he was a serious weirdo (they didn't have the benefit of at least knowing why this guy recognized my car outside) and I just said "Yeah, I wouldn't want that" and luckily it was time to order and he took off.
To be fair, the guy probably didn't mean to be weird and it just came out awkward for a random man to be telling a seemingly random woman in line at sbux that he knows where she lives, at 7 am and him maniacally giggling but it was super creeper.
I have about equal number of weird comments like that versus shout outs (FUTURE! or DELOREAN!) and that many thumbs up which is the universal sign. I don't have the stupid comments too much but I actually would prefer those over the weird ones..
