The one question they always ask you that you hate

[Canadamus Prime]

I always hate it whenever someone finds out that my birthday is around Christmas they always invariably ask me "Do you get more gifts?"
NO! No more than anyone else does, my relatives just save on shipping because they can ship 'em both at the same time. ...well since I became an adult I kinda stopped getting gifts from the extended family, but yeah.

"Are you OK" I know its said with the best of intentions, but its just so annoying.

Exactly. Just because I don't have a stupid grin plastered on my face doesn't mean that someone died today. Forty-something muscles to frown, about twenty to smile, zero to keep a straight face.

 

[nuba km]

oh actually I have come up with a better one 'are you ok' YES, I AM JUST THINKING AND FROWNING IS MY DEFAULT EXPRESSION NOW LET ME GET ON WITH MY IMAGINARY FIGHT BETWEEN KARL THE LAMA AND THE ROBOT UNICORN!!!

 

[Doomdiver]

On meeting someone new at university

"So what are you studying?"
"Artificial Intelligence"
"What? Like aliens?"

You'd be surprised how many times that has been asked.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

"Do you like Dreamgirls?"

Seriously, you'd be staggered how often I get asked this. They see a short, slim, moderately-effeminate homosexual and immediately assume he likes musicals. If it's not Dreamgirls, it's Hairspray, Les Miserables, or some other shit.

I actually do love Dreamgirls, Hairspray and a good few other musicals, but now I just always say "actually no, I love beer and football" out of principle.

Woah, you're only _____?

People love to talk about how I'm younger than them....

How did you get so smart?

I hate, absolutely hate, talking about my intelligence. I think everyone is smart.

I can kill that opinion. Glenn Beck and Bill O'Riley. Still think everyone is smart?

There's being an idiot/asshole and then there's not being smart. I'm sure Beck and O'Riley are reasonably intelligent at least. But that's not really the smart I'm talking about. I think there's a billion different kinds of smart.

"Did your piercings hurt when you got them done?"

To which I reply: "Let me stick a massive needle through your lip and you can tell me yourself."

Although in all honestly, it was only the first one that hurt..the 2nd time they used a much better anaesthetic ^.^

Well, they're smart in the brainwashing and insanity departments.

Pretty much. They are incredibly socially and politically smart.

So do you have Black Ops?

Fucking.Annoys.The.Shit.Out.Of.Me.

 

[deonte9109]

Why do you talk so proper?

The sheer amount of black Georgians that ask me this would surprise you.

 

[DSEZ]

do you have a girlfriend?

No damnit >< im asexual

 

[IcyEvils]

"Do you curl your hair?" Yes, I get up every fucking morning and perm it to make it look like this, what do you think?

"OH MY GOD YOU DON'T THINK (insert attractive celeb) IS HOT?!" I don't see anyone but my girlfriend as being remotely attractive. Yes, I can appreciate that they have a nice figure or hair or lips, but no they are not hot.

 

[maturin]

How's college? Wow, how tall are you?

 

[Wharrgarble]

Totally off topic, but, your avatar... It's so... so mesmerizing...

I can't... stop... must... look... away...

I get that when I tell people I play video games(and I am a gamer not just a person who play video games) I normally respond with a stare of pure hatred.

 

[Vrach]

"Has the bus come yet?"

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

I don't like that.

Wow, there must be a lot of blind people where you live or something. That's like asking "Is it nighttime yet?" Unless they presume the bus came and left and you stared at it slack jawed instead of getting on.

I don't usually get asked questions up front by new acquaintances or strangers. Occasionally I would get the "Do you eat?", but not so much anymore. So either I look like my weight is more normal or now that I'm older it's considered in bad taste to ask.

Newsflash, there's more than a single line arriving to a station and a person standing there could've either missed the bus by an inch (happened to me more times than I care to count which is why I'm in a "fuck you bastards" mode now and walking everywhere) or just waiting for another one.

Maybe there's a single line per station where you live though? Dunno, that'd be news to me, usually there's between 3-7 different bus lines that arrive on the same station over here

OT: How's college/uni? Honestly, fuck off already, enough of my mind is taxed by the damn thing as it is.

"Can you untie me? I was only joking!"

... yeah, it was awkward.

5- "why do you dress funny" because i like the stuff i wear
4- "why are you an emo" im not
3- "so why are you all depressed and stuff" im not depressed i was laughing 2 minutes ago
2- "do you like x" 9 times out of 10 they're reffering to a close friend who is a girl
1- "you suck at x why the hell are you playing" i know i suck but i enjoy it and don't have to do stupid things like 360 no-scopes to enjoy myself because i don't play boring realistic first person shooters of consoles because they are the most boring things ever
