When complaining about having wrecked my fingertips to another climber my non-climbing friend asks:
"Don't you wear gloves????"

mother to kid in bouldering area:
honey, don't walk underneath her - you might get hurt!

When talking to a friend about leading another non-climbing friend said “your insane, what happens if you fall before you get to the top and tie in”.
I then had to explain in great detail about placing pro and clipping in.

This question was asked of me from an old dude pointing up at the wall while I was packing up after a day at the base of El Cap.
Uh, what do you do if you have to go to the bathroom?
I asked him if he had a small paper bag and a plastic tube.

How about:
"Oh yeh, I do some climbing too. I don't rope up though I just do freelance climbing."
What the hell is freelance climbing? Is that there excuse for being stupid!
