Any variation on 'Why do you have have a beard?'
Not so subtly suggesting that i should shave. Why is this acceptable but i can't ask people why they are fat or why their hair isn't a specific length.
I like having a beard GET OVER IT.
And relax.

I was asked this once. I replied, "yes, because if jumped off a bridge, then there would obviously be a bouncy castle and free puppies at the bottom.ectoplasmicz said:
OT: "Can't you just take them and let me live?" always bugs me...
In the realm of the more serious, ever since it got out I was given a shotgun for christmas, people half-seriously asking me if I intend to commit a school shooting is getting quite annoying.
the question I hate being asked is, and this is literally the actual question I get every time, "Oh My God are you guys like, twins?" (I have a identical twin brother), I will admit, i can see why there is confusion, seeing as we only look EXACTLY THE GODDAMNED SAME!!!
If I were gay, and someone asked me that on that basis alone, I'd just say "no, but I'll be sure to look out for him at the next meeting" and glare until they walk off.Xerosch said:
Why do I listen to heavy metal. My favorite question ever. I like country... I like jazz and blues... but heavy metal (specifically the grindcore and death metal) gets me questioned always.
Anything regarding my hair.
People couldn't stop talking about it, how bronze and spiky-looking it is or WAS since I dyed it black and now leave it plain.
I feel like a total sissy discussing my hair with people.

Well, that's not technically true...UncleUlty said:
Anyway, a question I get asked all the time, being a male with long hair, is "Why do you have long hair?". Since I work with children, who are normally completely uninhibited about asking direct questions, I get asked this on average once a fortnight or so. I always answer "Because I don't cut it", or, if I'm being interrogated by a girl, I ask "Why do you have long hair?". Every once in a while an adult will take issue with the way I choose to wear my hair, while is considerably less cute and more irritating.
"Dude, what's with the hair?"
"It's the stuff that grows on my head"
"Yeah, but why's it so long?"
"Because I don't cut it"
"Don't you want to cut it?"
"No, not really. I like it long"
"So, what, you're never going to cut it? What about when it reaches your feet?"
"Maybe then I'll cut it"
"So... what's with the hair?"
What really riles me, and this one I really can't explain, is being asked to repeat myself. For example, if I've just told a joke or brought up a funny anecdote, and somebody new (let's call him Bob) walks into the room, somebody usually goes "Ha ha, good one Batou667, tell Bob what you just told us!" No. No, I fucking won't repeat myself on demand like I'm the court jester and you're the king clicking his fingers to make me perform. That was then, this is now, the moment has passed, let's move on. I'm really not sure why this annoys me so much, but I've literally fallen-out with family members over this.
Anything having to do with where the US gets off, especially if those people are from countries like the UK who didnt seem to mind owning half the known world and treating it worse than the us supposedly treats it now.
... but then again i travel a lot.
I guess more to home, I dont like being asked pokemon questions by people who dont play and are only trying to patronize me.

What do meaning is behind my tattoo. For some people these reasons are very personal and I don't want to open up to every random stranger I just met 10 minutes ago.
I despise small talk questions.
"How do you like living in [city]?"
If I hated living here, then I'd move somewhere else. Do you honestly expect a response other than "It's alright" or "I like it" or something?
"What kind of games do you like?"
Normally this would be an okay question, but most people who ask it are only trying to make conversation and don't actually play video games. What's the point of asking if you know you'll just hear gibberish?

"Why don't you smile?" - I can't fake a smile, I don't know why but I can't smile unless I'm actually happy.
Or from my friend who only plays CoD, BF3, LoL, and WoW, whenever I'm playing a game that he hasn't/doesn't play" "Why are you playing that shitty game?" Last two times he asked that I was playing Batman: Arkham City, and Saints Row: The Third. I started asking him the same thing when he's on WoW and CoD.
Or at work: (Our return policy is 90 days with a receipt), "I bought this 3 years ago, why can't I return this?" or another good one... "Can I return this with a Gamestop Receipt?" (at a Wal-Mart, yes someone asked that. I died a little inside that day)

About the "what games do you like?" "I just tell them, whatever I find fun, really", same with music.ImBigBob said:
Ahh, the ol' Blizzard/Activision answer. Good one sir.TopazFusion said:
I hate being asked what political party I'm going to vote for. I personally think both sides are idiots and I could care less who gets voted in to the White House. As long as the 2nd Admendment is messed with then I can take care of myself.
On a similar note, people who can't tell the difference between the UK, Great Britain and England. Luckily, they learn very quickly why this is a bad thing when they first ask a Scotsman if he's English.Hylke Langhout said:
