The one question they always ask you that you hate

[Vault101]

Back in the day just as part of general conversation people would ask where I was from Which I found annoying because

a.) Its a tiny town in the middle of nowhere and when I said it they would look confused and say "oh I've never heard of that" well of coarse you hanvt! duh!

b.) they don'tactually care its jsut small talk

also when people ask "whats wrong" when I'm upset, yeah its good intentions but it just tend to make me cry even more (I don't know why) and I turn into a blubbering idiot who can't even talk so that just makes it worse because then they keep asking and....yeah its pretty annoying

"Have you seen my child?" and "Why are you covered in blood?"
Usualy in that order.

what does Habakkuk mean, and where did you get it from?

 

[Daedalus1942]

So what is that one question that everytime you meet someone new etc they always have to ask you, that really annoys you?

For me it's "Do you manicure your nails?" - my nails are naturally bright white when they get longer and everyone always asks me this.

Also little less common is "did you straighten your hair?" - I always get asked this if I shower before going out since it makes my hair look different and I always frown on guys using straighteners to get "that look" they love so much

And imagine both of them being asked in judging tones

"are you a boy, or a girl?"
but at least there is SOME doubt!

[Fledge]

Do you straighten your hair?

GOD NO!

 

[NintendHo]

Whenever people see me with my three sons, I invariably get asked, usually in an uppity tone "Are you going to try for a girl?!!!!"

"Hell no! I didn't want a girl the first three times and I damn sure don't want another boy, thanks!"

 

[internetzealot1]

Do you have orange pubic hair?

I mean honestly you can only take that question in good humour a finite number of times, and I must say I've hit the limit.

Why do people always say that to red heads (gingers)?

Oh god, I feel your pain.

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

when i was a little kid i broke my arm, (when i was 6 and again a couple yrs later)
and i had to have a hard cast naturally. and the one thing every kid asked over and over, even though they just heard me say it to the previous kid to ask me, was "oh my god, what happened?!" or "oh my god, did you break your arm?".................

that was the day i learned casts could be used as weapons and was suspended later that day for testing my theory

 

[GodofDisaster]

I think I've mentioned this before in another thread but this question always pisses me off.
Normally said by friends and family, but I've had strangers say it to, by which I mean people I've just met.
The question is as follows.

"So any women yet?"

"No godammit, I don't in fact I've never been on a date and I'm still a virgin but trust me when I do get a girlfriend I'll make sure your the first person to know."

(Also the sentence above was not directed at anyone here, it was simply a statement, of what is going through my mind when I'm asked this question. Maybe someday, I'll actually say it.)

 

[Harley Duke]

I'm huge. Like, humongous. Big, lanky guy. So, people always ask me, "Do you play basketball?" No. No, I don't play basketball, dammit. Stop asking me. >_<

 

[SeanTheSheep]

"Is it seriously your real name? Man, it's just too short"
Adam D**. Yeah, 7 letters in total.
I seriously hate that.

My first and last names add up to seven letters, my middle name is four, adding up to a grand total of eleven letters. Four consonants and seven vowels. I despise people asking "Is that really your name?" or "What's your middle name?" (I prefer not to tell people because they don't shut up about it) or "But isn't it S-h-a-u-n?" -No, that's the English spelling. My name uses the Irish spelling, which is quicker, more efficient and looks better when written.

-snip- but trust me when I do get a girlfriend I'll make sure your the first person to know."

Well surely she'd like to know too, so probably second.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Are you twins?
(They are talking about me and my brother. WE ARE A YEAR AND A HALF APART.)
And "What time is it?"
(I was the only person wearing a watch for a while)

 

[Tdc2182]

"Why are you in my shower?"

Heheheheheh.

"Are you okay?"

For some reason I always look depressed when I am very tired, and seeing how I go on about 3 hours of sleep every night, I get that question a lot. Strange considering that most people know me as a very happy person.

 

[malestrithe]

What is your end of the world plan?

I hate telling people that my plan involves stealing a mountain bike, stealing a few survival supplies and taking to the hills.

 

[WorldCritic]

"What kind of music do you like?"
Yeah it sounds simle, but I'm not the kind of person to mainly like one thing. I simply tell them that I like what sounds good to me to which they reply "what kind of bullshit answer is that?"

 

[Lucky Chainsaw]

I actually find really amusing but I have a friend with the same name as me, and sometimes people ask if we're related for that reason... What?

 

[Singularly Datarific]

"What's instrument do you play?"
Me: Baritone...
"What's a baritone?"

Yeah I know a baritone isn't a frequently used instrument. You'll probably see 2-3 in an orchestra/band. But seriously every time I give that answer that question always follows. So FUCKING annoying!

The best thing I ever saw on Cash Cab (gameshow) was 2 teenage girls being asked "What doublereeded instrument is 2 octaves lower than an oboe?"
They answered "Beatbox."

Also, in regards to me:
"What do you play?"
"Trombone"
"Gay"
*glare*
But whaddo they know? They're idiots.

 

[Sacman]

"Why do you have long sideburns?"

I get this every time I wear my hair up and my answer is always he same,

"Because I fucking like long sideburns..."

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

From my family:
"When are you going to get start dating/get married/have kids?" (I'm 22)
"Why do you have to go to Africa to do mission work? People here in America need help, too."
I'm ignoring the first one. But as for the second, if so many local people need help, why don't the people who live here help them more themselves instead of expecting me to stay home.

At my old job: (a dollar store)
"Is everything in the store really a dollar?"

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. It's in our name, it's in our advertisements, it's written on the posters on the walls, and on every shelf in the store.

 

[Pilkingtube]

"So why do you want to be a doctor?"

..I'm only irritated because i've not yet figured out why i'm doing the medical degree, it will hit me one day..

 

[SkyeNeko]

"Do you straighten your hair????"(I have curly hair)
No. No I do not. I do not feel the need to straighten my hair because a. it is time consuming (head full of waist long curly fries). seriously. I tried it once and it took up a good part of the day. b. If I did straighten my hair, it would be back in a few hours. c. because I LIKE MY HAIR CURLY. are you saying its not pretty curly?
"How long is your hair?" or "WOW your hair is long! How long have you been growing it???"
First of all, a good 2 or 3 feet. I'm sure there are people with hair longer than that. I've seen them. Oh look there's one now go talk to her. Second, my hair grows at normal speed. Maybe even slower because I haven't trimmed it a while I don't know how old is YOUR hair?!?

"What do your knuckles say?" NIHILISM on the outside, AUTONOMY on the inside.

This is awesome. I want tattoos like that now.
