The one question they always ask you that you hate

[DkLnBr]

I think everyone is smart.

Obveusly you have'nt meet me!

ANYWAYS! i hate these questions (they always seem to follow the same pattern, but with different wording):
THEM: Do you have a Girlfriend yet?
ME: No not yet
THEM: ...Are you gay?

Its starting to get annoying, though getting called gay doesn't bother me at all anymore

At every job interview "why do you want to work here?"

"Uhhh... because you have help wanted sign in the front window? because i have a stack of bills at home and you give money for services rendered? because that waitress is hot and i think i have a better chance if i have a job? what?! what do you want to hear?" ... "oh, oh i see. you wanted me to loving lick the ass crack of you and this company."

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

'Do you straighten your hair?'
and
'Why are you vegetarian'

Ugh.

 

[thethingthatlurks]

"Where are you from?" Asked mostly because I have a slight British-esque accent. My reply as of late: "I'm obviously from Mars, you moron."

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Ok so, I'm a guy and my hair is longer than average the questions I get are:

Is that your real hair?
Why is your hair long?
Are you a girl(seriously wtf?)
Do you even comb that hair?(more than you with your barely existent hair you lazy bastard)
Do you play guitar?(Because I have long hair...no)
Do you play piano(really common one for some reason, again no)

And more in a similar manner, I don't know why it's so surprising that a guy would have hair longer than a few fucking centimeters off their head.

I'm also quite tall and skinny so I get many that go something like:

Why are you so skinny?
Do you eat anything?
Your anorexic!(not a questions but...I'm not)

And then last but certainly not least, I listen to metal and sometimes I wear shirts with metal bands on them so I get tons of questions like:


Do you listen to death metal?(Thinking it's some sort of insult and usually asked when I'm wearing an Iron Maiden shirt)

Why do you like metal(it's not popular... what's the appeal in that?!)

Is Iron Maiden good?(...why do you even ask these things? Just fucking listen to them and see)

Are you a satanist? (incidentally yes but not the kind you're thinking of and not because I listen to metal)

People are annoying.

 

[LightningBanks]

Look how tall you are "Were you put in a grow bag?"

NO I WAS NOT AND IM PRETTY SURE THEY DONT F*****G EXIST, SO LEAVE ME ALONE YOU SMALLER THAN ME HUMAN

 

[Jackalb]

I get a lot bad puns about my surname, Badminton. I suppose the worst question though is whether I'm actually good at playing it, no I am not, if you were interested.

 

[astrav1]

Why do you dye your hair that black?( I don't obviously)
Why do you have a girls name?(Again I don't, Ashley is accepted for both genders)

(Obligatory Chainsaw arm reference)
For me it's, is that hair natural? Of course. And do you wear make up? Of course not.

 

[Squarez]

"Has the bus come yet?"

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

I don't like that.

That drives me insane. "Yeah, it came. That's why I'm still here and not on the bus."

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.

If your name's a word then people might assume it's a nickname, not that they don't think anyone could have that as a name. Hence the "is that your real name"?

 

[Caligulove]

It used to be "How tall are you?" but then I realized it was stupid to get mad about that, since I'd probably ask the same question to tall people I met if I were that short.

So now, it's when my girlfriend asks "what are you thinking about?" when we're NOT hanging out, cuddling or having dinner- but when I'm writing a paper or fixing something in the apartment. My mind doesn't wander into strange or profound statements about my life or our relationship when I'm writing a term paper, dear.

 

[Uncreative]

"Where are you from?"
I've been asked that constantly, even in my home town. Apparently I have an accent that throws people off.
Guy I talked to over voice chat swore I was British. He was convinced the only reason I said I was an American was to mess with him.

 

[FallenTraveler]

I am very tall.... People ALWAYS FUCKING ASK ME! "Why dont you play basketball"

Really? I am a lanky and awkward 6'5" white male who constantly talks of art and video games, DO YOU THINK I PLAY MOTHERFUCKING BASKETBALL! ugh

I hate that question

 

[BrionJames]

"Are you going to college?"-I often find it rude and rage inducing, when people ask me this. How about being more honest with your question you insufferable prick, like "what's your level of education?" If I wanted you to know what I was doing with my education, I'd just hand over my goddam wallet and say, "Here have a look at all my vital statistics." Jackasses!

 

[TheJulz]

"What race are you? You look Mexican or Arabic."
I am neither, dammit, Does it really matter?

 

[imsdal]

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

Also, the "have you done your homework yet?" knowing, that the answer will always be "yes".

My name got 6 letters in total, hah!!

 

[PeePantz]

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 know what's funny, my sister is a doctor and she always gets the "Is it like House?" or "Is it like Greys Anatomy?" questions. She laughs and tells them how inaccurate those shows are. However, she does say the closest thing to hospitals and her profession is Scrubs. Minus the abundance of humor. She's actually pretty shocked in how the realistic the show is.

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

I hate that. So irritating.

OT: I get the "Do you wear eye liner?" question way way too often. "No, I don't. That's silly." "Yes you do." "Okay. You're right. I don't have the time to shave yet I make sure to squeeze in my makeup. My eyes are naturally this great, deal."

or

"Can I see your tattoo?" My tattoos are hardly visible except at work where I wear a t-shirt. Because they're all black under shirts, the sleeves are a little shorter, exposing a little bit of a tattoo. This question seems inappropriate. If I wanted you to see any, they would be exposed. Probably more so because I get asked about five times a night.

 

[shadyh8er]

Because I'm Indian, people always ask me if I meditate. To which I always respond with my favorite quote from Wonder Showzen:

"I never meditate; I'm afraid I'll levitate into a ceiling fan or something."

 

[Sampsa]

"How was your day?" My daily routines haven't changed much over the years and still my realatives ask it from me on daily basis.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I have this conversation AT LEAST once a year. It should be noted that my brother and I are friends, hang out with the same people.

GIRL[for whatever reason, it is ALWAYS a girl]: Ohmygod, you guys are brothers? Whose older?
ME OR MY BROTHER: We're actually the same age.
GIRL: Wait, you're TWINS??!!
ME OR MY BROTHER: [bracing for impact] *sigh* Triplets, actually. We also have a sister.


The girl will then do one of two things: She may say something along the lines of "...Is she the same age too?"(ugh...) followed by an annoyingly shocked facial expression....or she'll just skip the stupid question and skip right to the shock, possibly with an annoying comment like, "No way!" thrown in.


EVERY. FUCKING. YEAR.

 

[Vigormortis]

Simply, for me, it's the same question worded in two or more different variations.

They all boil down to, "Can you fix my computer?"

Now, normally this wouldn't bother me. However, since so many people keep asking me so frequently, it begins to irritate. Couple that with the fact that these same people, no matter how many times I explain things or try to teach them good computing/web surfing habits, they continue to epically fuck up their systems. I usually find them riddled with viruses, ad-ware and other mal-wares, corrupt registries, and totally buggered OS settings.
Then, after I go through the lengthy process of restoring their machines (more often then not requiring a full format and reinstall), it takes maybe a month before they start having "problems" again. If it weren't for the fact that these people were my friends, family, and co-workers, I'd tell them to f*** off at this point.

Then again, maybe I should start charging by the hour. Hmmm.....

[/edit] This reminds me of something else that bugs the hell out of me on this very topic. It's not a question I'm asked but rather a habit I see so many people adhere to. One that makes my job VERY, VERY God damn hard. I won't go into a lengthy rant about it. I'll just say the lines of advice I give to people in the aforementioned situation:
1: Keep the disks.
2: Keep the manuals.
3: Keep the registration/serial keys.
4: Remember your passwords.
5: RTFM
