Haha, I get the drug thing all the time too! It's the worst if you ever have to talk to the cops being eccentric and emotional, you have to explain it to every single one of them. I've been able to cry my way out of every single ticket I would of ever gotten however, so it pays off.Lawnmooer said:
"How many wives does your dad have."
It's truly annoying when ignorant people make sudden opinions about something (me being a mormon) because they saw it on T.V. and immediately think they are irrefutably correct and that i am deluded.
Edit: That and also-
Them-"Whats your facebook?"
Me-"I don't have a facebook"
Them-"WTFBOOOOAMFJOAHFIUAWHGIUAYGHUYWAGHWUAOYFHOAWEYGHWAOIUGHWAIEGHWIAOUGHAWIGAFHOAWQ"

Anything that has to do about the future, and one particular question, "why are you being so negative?" by the people who know EXACTLY why i'm being so negative...Pisses me right off.
You could totally abuse this by asking innocently if they themselves speak the language in question, and if they don't you call them the biggest fucking idiot you ran into that day.Edd4224 said:
OT: I play Magic: The Gathering. I often do Magic-related things in public, such as at Burger King. (Free refills!
) Occasionally someone will notice, and ask me one of the following:1.) Is that like a game?
1a.) Is that like Pokemon? (NO IT IS NOT LIKE POKEMON YOU FUCKING TWIT)
1b.) Is that like Yugioh? (... >:/ )
2.) Are those Tarot cards?
3.)Are you a devil-worshipper? (mostly old people ask me this and NO I AM NOT YOU OLD *****)
4.) How do you play? (this question only bothers me because I don't have a short answer for it)
"What happened to your face?"
You see, I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate which has been "repaired." I hate having to explain why I don't look like everybody else. Thankfully I haven't gotten the question nearly at all since I started high school. I think some people are definitely wondering why I look so different and just have never asked, though.
"So is she your girlfriend?"
My dad asks this sometimes when I even speak to a girl and it annoys the hell out of me. Honestly, do you think anyone wants a relationship with me when I look the way I do? I'm not hopeless, but Jesus, I'm still in a high school and looks are pretty fuckin' important to people at this age.
"Are you going to the church youth choir today?"
My mom asks me this one. It's annoying because I feel it's so pointless since I'm one of MAYBE two guys with a decent singing voice who actually puts effort into the singing, so what's the point? Worst part is being a closet Agnostic and just wanting to tell her that I don't care but not knowing how to say it.
...This post is awfully cynical for me. Ah well.

Aside from the usual "What's your favourite type of film/music/game?" shite, there are people who have annoyed me with a shitload of stupid questions in the past.
People who...
A.) Assume that I'm some sort of omniscient know it all with the answer to everything ever...
(No, I don't know why all those characters look the same. I don't know why that film failed at the box office. I don't know if that game will work on your PC because I don't know your specifications, nor am I interested in playing the game myself.)
B.) Piss and moan about the fact I don't share their exact opinions...
(I don't read that comic you want me to buy cause I'm not that interested in it. I haven't seen that film you want me to see because I don't go out to the cinema very often and it's not on the top of my priorities right now. I hate that band that you listen to because their music is shit.)
C.) Attempt a full blown conversation about something I only saw bits of or have a passing interest in...
(No, I don't remember those parts of the film cause I've not seen the entire thing. I don't have any opinion at all on those other Batman cartoons cause I've not watched them.)
D.) Make impossible demands...
(I can't give you any money even if I wanted to because I haven't got any. You can't watch my student film right now because I haven't even started filming.)
or...
E.) A combination of all of the above. Particularly annoying when they persist even after I tell them the same things over and over.

Any question that involves relationships. I'm terrible with my own personal life, and quite frankly, no matter how much you try to change it, I just won't have enough information on the circumstances and the way the parties involved think and feel in order to make a reasonable, well-informed decision on what might work out best for parties involved in either the short-term or the long-term. This is especially true when the only viable solution in my mind involves basically saying that said relationship just doesn't work and that it would be better off for both parties to end it, because it makes me look like an asshole and I don't want to have to deal with the outrage/anger/sadness/blahblahblah.
Kind of along the same lines, I also hate being asked what kind of girl I like. That question is unanswerable. Women cannot be lumped into an overarching category any more than men can under any qualifications other than what kind of genitals they have. People can't be classified in the broad terms that society expects, nay, demands that people be classified under, and it's both insulting and counter-productive to be expected to have a certain "type" of person that I'm looking for in a prospective significant other. After all, I could be classified as a movie buff, gamer, nerd, reader, outdoorsman, writer, otaku, musician, dungeon master, football superfan, liberal, improv comic, dishwasher, and history buff. None of these categories are entirely wrong about who I am, but none of them are entirely right either. I am a person with complex likes and dislikes and complex philosophical, political and moral values that don't exactly work well together but make sense in my head, and I doubt that anyone cannot describe themselves in a similar manner. Why should I be expected to arbitrarily decide what I'm looking for in a possible girlfriend when I can't honestly say it's fair to categorize them into different types?
Wow. That's a huge wall of text, isn't it? Well, to anyone that wastes their time reading what I wasted my time writing, does any of this make sense to you?

"Really?"
But not in the sense that someone says "seriously?" or "you're kidding!" when you say something that surprised them. That's just a reaction that most people have. But "really?" has apparently become a legitimate question.
It normally comes from the "cool" kids in my school whenever somebody does or says something out-of-the-ordinary. It may be something I say every day but it's apparently so out of left-field for them that they have to verify if it *really* happened or not. So I reply with "No, *not* really. I didn't actually say that, you're just hearing things."

Strangely, as innocent as the question is, I hate when people ask "Where are you from?" Not so much the question, I hate the reaction I get. I live in New York, I grew up in Louisiana. When people learn this they look at me like I've suddenly sprouted a second head (because I don't have an accent unless I'm particularly agitated, and then only slightly).
No, growing up in the deep South does not guarantee that you will sound like you're from Deliverance.

I hate it when people ask me what I am doing, when it is obvious what I am doing.
I hate it when ask you something when you just said it (for example "I'm leaving in ten minutes." *3 minutes later* "So when are you leaving?")
I hate it when people keep asking me why I don't listen to the music they do because they think it is good after I have explained to them numerous times that I only choose to listen to a certain...genre I guess is the term.
And to summarize the rest:
I hate being asked stupid questions.

"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.

OT: "What are you".
Nearly any person I ever meet almost always asks me this question. I've gotten kind of used to it, but it's a bit frustrating trying to explain, and it's even worse because my last name doesn't really point towards any ethnicity, so I have to explain AGAIN about where it comes from... My family isn't even sure exactly what ethnicities (and percentages) we are anyway.
"What kind of job do you want to have"
I mainly have a problem with this as my parents really, really, really want me to be a doctor (as in they'll probably disown me if I don't), so I'm never really sure how to answer this question. Do I tell them what I want to do or do I just say "going into medicine" and leave it at that. But I don't even know WHAT I want to do, so all in all the question is just very frustrating for me.
"Why are you dressed so nice today"
Cuz I felt like it, geez. Do I look like a hobo every other day or something?
"Is your hair naturally that curly"
*****, do I look like the kind of person who gets up every morning to perm her hair?
"Why do you play video games"
Why do you have [x] hobby?
