Questions you hate being asked

[Aprilgold]

What colour is this/the sky/grass/whatever? EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. someone finds out I'm colour blind. Eugh it makes me want to punch people.

I bet it does. I think it has something to do with that its interesting, if it makes you feel any better, it is a good party thing when that all you know is that the person is colorblind.

Mine has to be "Aren't Gay Guys supposed to be flamboyant?" Because every single time I want to snap the person neck and feed on their body like a werewolf.

Then again, you can change it to "Aren't X people supposed to be Y sterotype?"

It boils my piss when I'm chatting to someone online and they say 'so, you not out tonight?'

If I was then we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we, you fucking toolbox.

one word, iphone.

If you're chatting on that though, it says 'this person is chatting via a mobile device' or whatever.

I'm sat on plain-old normal MSN, on a friday night, sad and alone; I hardly need to be reminded

I just generally heavily dislike being asked questions with obvious answers when I know that they know that the question has an obvious answer.

Parents asking "What are you doing?" while I'm sitting at my computer playing a game. They're not interested in the details, like which game or who I'm playing with or how I'm playing. They're fully expecting "playing a video game" as an answer, and that was just bloody obvious

 

[D0WNT0WN]

"Hey John, why are you so quiet?"
*I proceed to explain that I have a stammer with great difficulty*

And the person who asks me that question looks like a massive cock.

Are you left handed?
Are you left handed?
Are you left handed?


WELL IM WRITING WITH MY LEFT HAND, WHAT DO YOU THINK!?!?!

 

[Spinozaad]

"So you study history? So you want to be a history teacher?"

NO. GOD DAMN, NO!

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

'What's wrong?'

Usually there's nothing wrong, my blank expression isn't a smile. If there is something wrong, I probably don't want to talk about it. If I wanted to talk about it, I would have.

 

[ReinWeisserRitter]

I hate being asked what my racial background is; I have an unusual appearance, so I get this fairly often. I also hate that many people don't believe my answer, when I don't ignore the question to begin with. It doesn't freaking matter, people.

I also dislike how the first thing most people do when they find out you have a background in computers is ask you what's wrong with their computer.

 

[Lev The Red]

"'ee-von'? is that like 'eye-van'?"

the self control it takes not to smack people who ask me this every time i introduce myself is borderline saintly.
Ivan is pronounced "ee-von", NOT "eye-van."

 

[Danny91]

Someone grabs my glasses and puts them on, then asks: "Wow, your eyesight is really bad isn't it? ...How do you see with these on?"

...Just...so stupid...and so many people do it...

 

[sdfgsdfgdfsg]

Oh, probably the one i hate the most is "So what are you like, a gamer?"They don't just ask it out of curiosity or anything, but they ask it with all the smug of the world contained in this one question, because they think that it's a childish thing to be a gamer and they somehow feel superior to me because i am one.Fucking retards.Close second is "Say something in English"(my native language is russian), and i guess there's no need to describe my reaction to that question.

 

[Torrasque]

"Ooo, you speak x language!? Say something in x language!" Does anyone know what to say in any language when asked that?


Also, "Do you like football?" Being English, everyone in this country (China) seems to think we like football. I've nothing against it but I won't watch i if I have a choice.

I get the first question all the time whenever I tell someone (or when they happen to find out) that I took a single course of Japanese. They always go "Say something in Japanese!" and I'll either spout complete gibberish or say they're an idiot in Japanese. What makes this question worse, is they then ask me what I said... What the fuck is the point of saying something in a different language to prove I can speak that language, if they then ask me what I said?! Nevermind the fact that learning a new language is really fucking hard to do, and cannot be done in one goddamn term.

I get "Do you like hockey?" all the time from Americans. As a Canadian, I like Hockey because it is interesting, not because I am Canadian. Yes I cheer for the Canadian team in international sports, but I don't cheer for a team because of how many Canadians are on it, what Canadian city it is in, or what Canadian owns the team. I cheer for the Boston Bruins because of how they play and for no other reason >_>

Two questions I hate getting are: "What are you taking?" in regards to my University schoolings and "What do you want to do?" usually after asking what I am taking.
The reason I hate these questions, is that no one that asks me these questions gives a fuck. They are just making conversation and being polite. If anyone gave a damn about me, they'd probably know what I am taking or know what I want to do with the schoolings I am taking. Occasionally someone will go "yeah, I took classes like that" or have something to say about it that requires thought and isn't an auto-generated "How I mine fish?" response.

Repetitive questions also bother me. Thats why I usually go "oh great, another one of these threads" here on the Escapist. But I think we can all agree that those suck.

 

[Sharp Blue]

I hate beeing asked what I am reading, I usually lift up the book so they can see the cover, people then ask what is it about? I reply: Aliens. then they ask is it any good and I reply that its okay. Why do peolpe think that when I am reading a book it so obviously means I want to talk to someone?

 

[quiet_samurai]

*See someone I know in a restraunt,supermarket, movie theatre, etc*
Pretty much any place that is completely self-explanitory

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Granted, it's more of a greeting then a real question. I usually answer with somethig completely smartass.... or in no way tied to the location we are in.

 

[6_Qubed]

"Are you gay?"

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gays or lesbians but I have been asked this question so many times because (A) I don't have a girlfriend, (B) I have a lisp since I was 5, (C) I am very kind and thoughtful of others, and (D) because I used to walk on my tip-toes and now have a weird way of walking ( I used to love pretending to be a ninja). So people need to seriously stop asking me. It is getting a bit old.
