Questions you hate being asked

[General Twinkletoes]

For me I have two:
1)"Are you American/Irish" I don't know where people get this from, I was born in Australia, raised in Australia and been here for my entire life besides four weeks when I went to America two years ago, so no I am not.

Good god, this for me. IDK how. I am an American citizen, but only because I was born there, I left to Australia before I could talk, and my parents are Australian and don't have an Americn accent.
Weird thing is, people in Australia ask me this too o.0

 

[lRookiel]

People ask my "Why are you vegetarian?"

And I have to explain for the UMPTEENTH TIME WHY!

 

[lRookiel]

when i Worked at KFC

'What are the herbs and Spices'?

and i replied with 'Soylant Green'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thats epic >:3

 

[mikeybuthge]

Omg are you okay? Thankyou for the concern, but my arm is bent backwards, and not at a joint, please get medical attention

 

[NoeL]

"How long until you're done with uni?"

-_-!

I'LL BE DONE WHEN I'M DONE, GOD DAMNIT!

I used to hate getting asked to do impressions. As much as I liked doing them as part of a performance it really grated on me when someone asked, for example, "Do Frank Spencer/G.W.Bush/Dave Lister again!" just in the middle of the path or anywhere for that matter.

Thankfully it died down when we weren't forced to do Drama classes anymore.

What colour is this/the sky/grass/whatever? EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. someone finds out I'm colour blind. Eugh it makes me want to punch people.

 

[rob_simple]

It boils my piss when I'm chatting to someone online and they say 'so, you not out tonight?'

If I was then we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we, you fucking toolbox.

 

[Ranorak]

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

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

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

Im red-green colour blind.

So when someone finds out, usually because ive just gotten a colour mixed up then i'll immediatly have EVERYONE in the vicinity ask me stupid stuff about what i see.
Like Ohhh what colour is my jumper? what colour is this pen? what colour is the sky? what colour is my hat?...

It doesnt happen too often since i left high school but its still really annoying.

Damnit ninja'd

I feel your pain bro!

 

[NiPah]

"Why do you enjoy [insert any number of things]"
or "explain to me why people like [insert name of random thing]"

Its like Fox news asking a question, you know they are already heavily biased and will leave the conversation when they feel threatened.

 

[Ultress]

I hate being asked what I'm doing today but only by my dad, I don't know why but it pisses me off so bad.

I hate when people ask what kind of blank are you into becasue nine times out of ten they don't really care about the answer they just think it will make the silence less awkward.

ALso a new one is What's your degree in because it invokes one of two reactions ewww,(which I don't mind) and why can't you find a job in a funeral home?People seem to think that becasue we all eventually die that this job is recession proof when it's not. While it's true everyone dies I still can't control the rate at which they die.

"So, what do you do?"
- "I study at the University."
- "Oh, cool, what do you study?"
- "Eh.."

I study philosophy, but since it's rather hard to explain exactly what it is (and even harder for the majority of the population to even grasp the basics the first time they learn about it), I try to avoid answering. It gets tedious. And even when people (usually girls, for some reason) know about it, they answer "So you think alot, huh?".

I tend to stare off somewhere and answer a dry "Uhu.."

Edit: Even worse is when guys ask, for when I answer, they tend to reply "So what will you do when you're done?", to which I reply "Be happy, I hope".
"Well, yeah, but what will you WORK with.." and I tend to lose and it inform them that having a high-paying job isn't what life revolves around.

'Are you on the rag?'

I hate that, so much. You can't even get angry at people for asking it because they just conclude, 'oh yeah, she must be'. It's so condescending and just trivialises the argument. Just because a girl is angry it does not mean she's on her fucking period.

Snip

You could just say philosophy and leave it at that. If someone is studying Astro-Physics, I really doubt they explain exactly what that entails to every person who asks what they're studying.

Difference is that when it comes to Philosophy, and not Astro-Physics, the average person thinks he can grasp it easily and tends to have follow-up questions, and I am forced to give answers which they rarely understand.

 

[Guffe]

This question usually bumps out ONCE every year...
At my birthday: "So, how do you feel now"
EVERY FREAKING YEAR!!!
It does not change anything if I'm 15 or 16, it may have changed a little from 17 to 18 but all those other 21 one times USELESS!!!!

You could always try to give them an answer in a way that's easy for someone who's new to the field to understand. That's what most other people do. I don't think philosophy is an exception.

 

[Hollywood koal]

I hate this one. "can i see your driver's license and insurance?"

 

[Trippy Turtle]

About music and where I live. Why the hell do people care where I live? I mean in real life when it is fairly obvious I won't meet them again.

 

[Snotnarok]

This sounds so egotistical but I hate the question "How did you get so good at drawing?" because it's a complex answer and I'm also told it's not often not meant as a question but as a complement. But still it's said as a question and the answer is so easy, practice!

The other question I think is just annoying "Did you look at something when drawing this?" I don't really know what that really means. Is that a odd way of asking if someone traced something? I just don't know.
