"YOU'RE from Africa???"

Yes. All sorts of people come from Africa. Not everyone is a black tribesman with a spear in hand. It's a continent for fuck's sake.

"Is that you real hair color?"

This question is only asked when A)I have enough of my roots showing that I need to dye my hair again & B)When my hair is freshly dyed.

Everyone knows REAL redheads have a very dull sun-faded color, usually accompanied by freckles. Perhaps they're assuming I'm a redhead who dyes my hair red & covers her freckles in foundation.

Huh. Well... that's news to me. Never in my life have I heard of a dude named Ashley. And I've watched Joss Whedon shows, where everyone has a weird name, and several men have girl's names (see Angel's Lindsay and Firefly's Jayne).

Go figure.
And I was gonna leave you with a deck of cards, but NO you had to bring up Jayne as a girl's name. Diiiiiccccckkkk. /reference

What is literature?

Believe me, it gets asked alot at my university and it makes me wanna punch babies.

My insatiable hunger for further geeky knowledge compels me to ask: What's the reference, uh, referring to?

I tend to hand out in my schools rapid prototyping lab after school making things (like new types of screwdrivers). The most annoying thing anyone can do is to come up and ask me what I'm making/doing when I'm right in the middle of it. The only thing that stops me from shoving my soldering iron up their ass after the 10th person's asked is the fun of making shit up and watching them buy it.

When people learn I am a medical student they ask "Is medicine like Scrubs?" or "have you killed anyone yet?" or "Have you seen many penises lately?"

It's begun to irritate me now!
...you actually get asked those things? What the hell is wrong with people?
I understand why, it's mostly curiosity and, especially with the last example, they know that a lot of weird stuff tends to surface in hospitals.

My name. I introduce myself to people and they try to repeat my name questioningly 'cause they've never heard it before. So my name becomes the question. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one in the world with this name 'cause it has an ä in it. However, it's not hard to pronounce. It's probably one of the most easily pronounced names you'll ever hear. The name Nath is actually my name with its letters scrambled and the ä replaced with an a. AND it's harder to pronounce than my real name :(

"Why do you smoke cigarettes if they're bad for you?"

"Has the bus come yet?"

People ask me that when I'm still standing there waiting for the bus.

I don't like that.
It is just a general bus or are they asking for a specific route number/code?

I can't think of annoying questions people ask so the only thing I have relevant to this is thread is people rarely ever get my name right the first time I say it. It is complete bullshit though. I have a 5 letter name 2 syllables. Is it really that hard to say Conan?

I usually ask "Has the bus come yet?". But yeah, if you don't specify which bus it's a stupid question.

I hate it when people ask me how old I am - especially since their opinion of me tends to change after they realise that I'm a lot younger than I seem to be. I don't mind most questions, though. I think everyone likes talking about themselves, just a little bit.

Hey Marter... has the bus come yet?

OT: 'Why do you play video games?' I don't acknowledge those people.

while wearing my uniform: "Do you work here?" No, I just wear this shirt and name tag cause I want idiots to bother me. "Where's the bathroom?" Seriously? Most stores have bath rooms in either the front or back of the store. Open your eyes and look. "Where is [an entire section:meat,deli,dairy]?) If you walk into a grocery store and can't find an entire department of milk, maybe you shouldn't leave your house.

The one question I invariably get at work:

"What soups do you have today?"

Especially frustrating when my cash register is directly in front of the big clearly written menu, and all the soups we have for the day are written right in the center of the thing.
