The one question they always ask you that you hate

[thenumberthirteen]

I hate it when people ask me about my job, or if I've found a new job, or what jobs I want in the future.

It just gets annoying as that seems to be the topic all my family members open with in a conversation with me.

I also hate it when my family asks if I've found a Girlfriend yet (the emphasis is always on the "yet") since I saw them last (usually only a couple of weeks).

It gets a bit of a pain at family parties where I hear the same two things over and over again.

Another one is "Is that your real name?" (I have a name that isn't a typical name. It's a word.) What exactly do they think I'm doing? Lying to them? Do they expect everyone in the world to be named "John" or "Mary"? WTF? Any time someone has even the slightest bit different, everyone seems to freak out. And even though it's a regular 4 letter word that everyone uses practically every day, I STILL have to walk people through pronouncing and spelling it. I just want to go "Do you even SPEAK English? What's wrong with you?"

Yeah I get that too. Not because my first name is unusual, but because I have 4 of them. And the last two are a little weird. "Qualters" and "Nunamaker." Oh the weird pronunciations people come up with.

And even that's not all that weird! Tons of people have 4 names. What is it about people that make them question everything that isn't EXACTLY LIKE THEM?

"Are you sure you just haven't met the right man yet?"

I mean, of course, that must be it - I'm a lesbian out of sheer desperation, turning to fanny because I just can't get any cock. Urgh. I hate ignorance.

Another one that bugs me is "So, what are you studying?" No real reason for that one, I just hate talking about my studies.

That.... Wow, that makes me ashamed to be human.

 

[ramboondiea]

seems the most common one is people asking am i gay, usually this is because my mates a dick and insists on telling people i am, although it does amuse me when i tell them im not and they end up all embarrased

 

[Outright Villainy]

"Why do you have a beard?"
or
"Why do you grow your hair so long?"

BECAUSE I FUCKING LIKE HOW MY HAIR AND BEARD LOOK OKAY!?!?

*hi five*
Yay for the bearded long haired men out there!

It's only my family that gives me grief over it to be honest, most people I know quite like it, or are indifferent at any rate.

Though sometimes people ask why I'd like a film like Toy story 3 or Up. That's the kind of thing that would make me seriously consider punching them.

It's so tempting!

What are you thinking?

THE RAAAAAAGE!!!!

 

[ReservoirAngel]

"So you wouldn't nail [insert female celebrity name here] then?"

NO! What part of "I'm gay" are these blithering fuckwits not understanding!? Ah fuck it annoys me so much!

"Are you sure you just haven't met the right man yet?"

I mean, of course, that must be it - I'm a lesbian out of sheer desperation, turning to fanny because I just can't get any cock. Urgh. I hate ignorance.

This pisses me off too. Well, with me it's "Are you sure you just haven't met the right girl yet?" but it's still really, REALLY annoying.

And then of course, there's self-concious straight guys asking me if I'd do them. This one isn't SO bad, but it's their responses when I say 'no' that annoy me. If they can't take me theoretically shooting them down, WHY did they ask? And they're straight, what do they care if a gay guy doesn't want to ride them!? Fuckers...

adding more:
"When did you choose you were gay?"
"So do you think that guy's hot?" *points to random dude*

 

[FalloutJack]

Funny, I don't think I HAVE moments like these. Like...the questions that I'm ever asked seem to be wide and varied enough.

 

[Koroviev]

"What are you thinking about?"
...none of your business.

"Why did you forget to do x/y/z?"
...you answered your own question.

"Can I have my meds?"
...it's 5 o'clock in the morning, fuck off.

 

[The Geomancer]

not exactly a question, but it pisses me off regardless: "You should play football/basketball"

I get told this often just because of the fact that apparently they can't comprehend that someone 6' 6" has no interest in mainstream sports.

Aside from that, the annoying question is when i'm asked "do you work here" when i'm on the clock and i'm wearing my uniform

....*sigh* a little observation goes a long way.

When people learn I have a History major, they ALWAYS ask "So you're going to be a teacher?"

No, I don't particularly want to be a teacher. There's plenty of other things to do with a History major than become a teacher (museum curator, archivist, historical author, public historian, etc.)

 

[Chris^^]

"Is it in yet" >_<

that made me laugh so much

mine has to be 'you know that if you join the forces you'll need to get a haircut, right?'
yes. yes I had figured that out.

 

[T-Bone24]

"Can I wear your glasses?"

I seem to be a magnet for that question. Nobody else I know with glasses gets asked that and yet, I do? Oh well, I suppose it's a neat ice-breaker.

 

[2fish]

"Is it in yet" >_<

HE has a NAME you know

He also has feelings

What are you going to do with your degree is my big one. That and when are you going to get a job. Um... when they hire me would be my best guess.

 

[DuelLadyS]

Either 'when are you two getting married' or, relatedly, 'why don't you want kids?'

We will get married when we can get a home without putting ourselves into crushing debt... in other words, when we can find full-time work instead of part-time. Not that easy right now. This is usually followed with 'but why don't you just do this or that?' Look, NO, OK?! We aren't going to be idiots and push beyond what we know we can afford even if things start to go bad, just to do things the way you think we need to.

As for the kids thing... it's mostly co-workers, and you'd think the screaming babies and spoiled brats being literally pulled out of the store by their parents (or pissing on the product once in awhile) might be kind of a tipoff as to why. But to put it better- we both feel that, when you have a child, that instantly becomes the most important thing in your life. You sacrifice everything you need to for that child. And quite simply- maybe selfishly- we just aren't willing to do that.

I tend to get "Is that your real hair?" a lot.

Of course not, I stole if off a hobo when no-one was looking.

What the hell kind of question is that? Long hair instantly equals hair exstensions now?

Also, every single time someone asks "so, have you figured out what you want to study yet?" I want to punch them in the face.

 

[Folksoul]

How'd you get that scar?

I had a fucking tumor on my skull. Stop reminding me!

 

[Riccan]

"Did you cut your hair?"
I don't know, is it shorter? Actually I didn't, I just made it retract into my head through sheer willpower.

"Do you straighten your hair?"
I didn't realise that my wavy hair is straight.

"Do you smoke pot?"
Yes, I have longish hair, that surely means that I smoke pot.

The following situation happens to me at work almost daily. I work in a deli and we cook rotisserie chickens. I'll be taking chickens out of the rotisserie and someone will come up and ask "are these fresh today?" "No lady, there are a week old and I'm just reheating them!" Every time this happens I want to jump over the counter and drop kick the person that asks.

"Do you wear eyeliner?"
No i got naturally beautiful eyes, but thanks noticing.

Well on Thursday and saturday nights it might be true though
