Questions you hate being asked

awww geez...now Im all embarrased

dont worry, Im very happy about what I like and everthing, I dont make en effort to hide it and generally wont shut up about it to anyone who shows even a small amount of interest (I feel sorry for certain people In the past who have been subjected to my motor mouth assult of all things game related)

this reminds me of what I was like in highschool...I thourght if you wanted to be happy and normal you had to be like everyone else...games and stuff was for losers..which I justified my existance by having a wii because the regular game market was testoserone fuels, violent and scary ...or so I thourght(that didnt stop me from putting Wall-e, Batman begins... and lord of the rings posters up though..and agressivly ripping into everything my teenage girl peers liked..much to their annoyance)

and I wont hide it if I think its apropriate to talk about...but somtimes I feel it isnt worth it, Ill just get funny looks, but Im cool with it..but your right, its not so bad thease days, somone knows somone with an Xbox or whos kids have an xbox..for example

anyway...I probably should make en effort to do more things....its just hard when you end up having really no social circle to speak of..which is fine, thats my own doing and Im mostly fine with it...

Don't be embarrased!
Might I suggest getting involved in some sort of community activity, or take lessons in something, fencing, photography whatever just find something ye find interesting and join a group, making friends and getting people with the same interests as you is easy as hell after you get yer feet wet, as it were.
After all, you didn't have much of a social circle at birth either, it's a maintained and built thing, so get out there and build yourself one!
I'm just that mysterious stranger type guy wandering the forums, dropping messages with the intent on opening people's eyes to alternative viewpoints, starting conversations, debates and whatnot, and offering my knowledge and experience in dealing with life's many issues, to those who seem to be in need of such, or at least might want it.

Them; * walks up to me* Are you an artist?
Me; *sketchbook, eraser, markers and colored pencils in front of me* Really? What do you think?

 

[marioandsonic]

when someone says "what cha doing?" when its clearly obvious what i'm doing.

THIS.

Also, pretty much the same questions I get asked at EVERY. SINGLE. FAMILY. REUNION.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

 

[Bernzz]

"So, are you guys officially a couple, yet?"

While, of course, both not knowing for sure what the other thinks

The amount of times I've been asked that, with the other person right there, a metre away from me...

Yeah, that question, definitely that question.

 

[Kevin7557]

Is there a question you're frequently asked that you just hate? Me, I don't like being asked what kind of music I listen to, because I never know how to answer. My taste in music is pretty scatter-shot, you see. I'll be listening to Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIbcqgXh5-4] one minute and Miss Moody [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua8I-PfKhMU] the next, and enjoy them both just as much.

[sub]PS: Either way, Baker Street [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSIw09oqsYo] is still the best song ever. If you disagree then you are WRONG![/sub]

Still ALive and Party Rock are the best songs ever first off.

For questions anything that is painfully obvious irks me or when it feels like they are grilling you like the police after they catch you with a weird soup container that no one bothered to check for two hours while they made your life a living hell... Joke people. Seriously though anyone actually like when someone asks a bunch of questions even if you know the person is try to start a conversation but goes about it by asking personal questions rather than "did you hear about..." questions.

 

[BishopofAges]

For me I hate questions like "what are you thinking about?" Mostly because at the time I am thinking of absolutely nothing, but if I say so, suddenly I become 'rude.' Am I not allowed to sit and not-ponder?

Either way, I end up saying something like 'nothing' or 'just this and that,' but I will say that Baker Street has some of the best Sax solowork of alltime!

 

[him over there]

How are you? That is the question I absolutely hate most, especially since it's so social that it is impossible to ask it seriously. How are you doing? well I'm going through a bad break up and- Dude I was just saying hi. Seriously now it's like impossible to actually ask about important things or share stuff. okay maybe I'm being a bit hyperbolic.

 

[Dr. Thrax]

I think one of the most infuriating questions I get is "Well, if you've never been with a girl before, how do you know you're gay?" to which I resist the urge to punt them into the next county. I swear people only ask me that question just to annoy the piss outta me.

And another question I get is "Are you Hispanic?" because my first and last name is Spanish, but I'm Filipino, and I also don't speak a lick of Spanish, nor do I even look Hispanic. So I either get that question, or they just start speaking to me in Spanish, which I then have to keep myself from grabbing them by the throat and throttling them.

I also hate it when people ask me "How do you spell your last name?" Easy. Spell it the way it sounds. D-E-L-G-A-D-O, not Deglardo (Where the fuck did you even get the R?) or Deglado or Delgato.

 

[Darren716]

I hate when people ask me what my favorite socer team is, just because my mom is from England does not make me give anymore of crap about sports they like over there then the already minimal amount of a crap I give anout sports over her. Also I hated today when I explained to someone why a certain website they were trying to go on was blacked out to protest SOPA and they responded with, "What is SOPA?", it mostly was irritating because of the amount of times I had to explain somthing I care deeply about and then thet respond by saying somthing like OK that's neat, and look at me like I'm insane.

 

[DazBurger]

"Are you an elf?"

No! Stop asking! Im 1.96 meters tall, 113kg, have a full beard and wear full plate armor!
I DO NOT LOOK LIKE AN ELF! D:<

 

[Donnie Restad]

Best worst questions:
Man, did you catch the game last night?
Oh no, I lost the game!
What are you doing watching TV on Saturday night?
I'm watching Doctor Who, goddammit.
What do you mean, you don't drink?
I mean I do not imbibe alcohol. What else could that possibly mean?
Why don't you have a girlfriend?
Because I am a homosexual... No, that does not mean I want to hook up with your ugly ass.

 

[shrimpcel]

"Are you OK?" -If you are asking me this question, then it is obvious enough that I am not OK.

"What did you do today?", asked by my parents. I can handle myself reasonably, if I have anything special to tell you I always do so.

"What job do you want to have later?" -THE BEST ONE I CAN FIND!

"Are you just smart naturally, or do you just study really hard ALL the time?" -Now this question really angers me whenever I get it. There is no right answer to it. If I admit that I am generally a lazy person, I will get accused of being a smug prick that thinks he's born better than other people. If I reply that I do what I must to get the grades that I get, then they will often make snide comments insinuating that I have "no life". And if I try to explain to them the truth that it is always a bit of both for everyone, they just never understand. Usually only stupid people ask that question.

"Say something in X language." -How old are you, five?

*Person Sees my tattoo"

"Cool! Did it hurt?"

"No, having someone inject ink into my skin with various sharp needles for about an hour didn't hurt at all, it felt like sunshine and double fucking rainbows"

The funny thing about that response is that tattoos, sunshine, and double rainbows can all make a grown man weep (I am a night person so yes sunlight can bring tears to my eyes)

OT: My biggest peeve has to be "What are you thinking?"

I can undestand why you ask, me being a quiet person and all, and I am obviously not in a waking coma. But more often than not there is nothing specific on my mind (if there was, you would know) I just get lost in random thoughts, like when you're listening to somebody talk and the transitions are so smooth that you don't realize they've changed the subject about 5 damn times, and when you snapped me out of it by asking what I was thinking, i pretty much forgot what I was thinking about anyway, but I'm too annoyed by the question to calmly explain this all to you, so even though it will disappoint you, I will summarize for your convenience.

"Nothing."

Making a note here:

Asking people about the things they hate = Guaranteed Successful Thread.

 

[Dr. Thrax]

Why don't you have a girlfriend?

God I hate this question. I get it from my grandparents and it infuriates me.
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?" "Yeah, I know. You want great grand-kids. TOO FUCKING BAD."
Oh how I wish I could say that...

 

[Quazimofo]

There are things I hate being asked. I can't seem to nail any of the good ones down. But I can remember that I don't like explaining obvious things, so the question of "Why?" at an inopportune time can be irritating.

well, there is a sure-fire solution to solve all of those "Why?" questions.

simply answer one of the following...

FOR THE EMPRAH!

FOR THE GREATER GOOD! (in a sterotypical yet slight japanese accent)

because the numbers SAY SO!!

why not?

Because pluto isn't a planet anymore!

or any other number of silly, preferably referential, sentences

 

[The_Evermind]

"Can you explain that in laymen's terms?" In reference to my dissertation. It's on simulating topological quantum computation, does it sound like there are layman's terms? I have the choice to either a) Say no, look like a prick, or b) Try, look like a prick.

You could always try "If I could explain it in laymans terms it wouldn't need a whole dissertation now would it?" or "If it could be put in laymens terms I wouldn't needed to have spent x years studying it."

OT:I recently moved cross country and so I'm getting sick of "So how do you like California?" It's not like I don't understand asking the question I'm just getting sick of it and I never know what to say, I mean its just a city not that different from where I used to live so I usually end up commenting on the weather.

I also have a personal vendetta against people asking me where I want to eat out but that is because I just never want any specific place and have a terrible memory so I don't know what is close by.

I'm gonna go with..."Reply hazy. Ask again later.".

 

[Death God]

"Are you gay?"

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against gays or lesbians but I have been asked this question so many times because (A) I don't have a girlfriend, (B) I have a lisp since I was 5, (C) I am very kind and thoughtful of others, and (D) because I used to walk on my tip-toes and now have a weird way of walking ( I used to love pretending to be a ninja). So people need to seriously stop asking me. It is getting a bit old.
