People walking up and asking "Why do you want to learn Japanese?" while acting like I'm a god damned Japanophile. But then it's also people who I don't know at all, so fuck 'em I say.
That and on Touhou vids where someone asks "What anime is this?" I've answered that question, and seen it answered on practically EVERY TOUHOU VIDEO SOMEWHERE. It's. Getting. Old. FAST!
[sub]yup, tvtropes was right about that berserk button[/sub]

Mine is "Are you Argentinian." I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! When I look at myself, I think "damnit, that's the most stereotypical looking British person I've ever seen!" But apparently I look like I'm from Argentina.
I get a variation of that nowadays really, because my high school(the Swedish equivalent, internet-translators tells me I should call it "upper secondary school") is rather specialized into IT & Computer subjects. This means that people ask me what I get taught at school. Usually, it's kind of hard to explain.Dags90 said:
So, logically, if I go to an university or a college, I should choose something that's not related to computers or IT. It'll be easier to explain
Agreed! I have long hair too. Though The question I hate more than that is "What classes are you taking" not stupid, but something I don't want to answer for every person I talk to at a party.anthony87 said:
To the long hair questions though, I usually answer, "I don't feel like cutting it". I do also like my hair.
Ok, got a few.
1. I was homeschooled literally 11/12ths of my school career, and am in college, having tested in without a diploma, and into mid-advanced classes. But until College the question always came "So do you like, actually do work?"
"NO I fucking beat my meat all day, I just used the sheer power of my will to get into college"
2. I like metal, sometimes MetalCORE, including rough vocals "Do you like x(killswitch, slipknot or some obscure band)?"
"No, I dont like killswitch, slipknot is an affront to nature and I hate indy music"
3. I like instrumentals, Joe Satriani is one of my favorite artists, I used to try to share the wonder.
"So where are the words?"
"There are none"
"Oh, I don't care then" *removing headphones/walking away
Ignorant Peasants!
4.I am a gamer
"So do you like, DO anything?"
"No actually, I don't(honesty)"
"Ugh, thats pathetic, why dont you learn an instrument or a sport?"
"Because in the grand scheme not ONE of those matters one fucking dot more, aside from a few side benefits only reaped by the serious, I enjoy my hobby"
5.I can cook/bake
"are you gay?"
"NO! I just find having control of what goes into my body nice, aside from being able to manage my own, picky tastes"
6.I rigged a nice, high bass stereo in my car
"so do you play rap in here?"
"No, fucking homeboys and g's can keep that tuneless shit, I play mainly metal and techno/electonic"
7. Programming Major
"so you fix computers?"
"No, believe it or not, not every single computer specialist exists to service your home pc, I intend to work in a corporation i.e. google or yahoo or somesuch, working on code that would blow your neanderthal mind"
8. I am not a smiley kinda guy, I tend to have a straight face/scowl/smirk(derision) most of the time.
"why so sad?"
"life is pointless, why?"
"Really, thats sad"
" not really, gives me freedom to quit pretending it matters and enjoy myself"
9. "Why do you do/wear/listen to/enjoy/eat/abstain from that?"
"Because I like it, it pleases me, I despise normality and can fully handle your dislike, kiss my ass.
Furthermore, I can use words longer than 7 letters and I will anytime I see fit,
Tophats are lost classics of style,
Trenchcoats are Hero clothing,
Sword collecting doesnt make me violent, idiots like you do though....
Metal is expressive not just loud,
I can be a smart Christian and still believe,
I hate almost all tv most especially family guy and south park,
I love technology, hate nature,
I dont care much about death etc,
Bill Gates is a nerd too,
I don't have to accept anything you do or are,just allow you to be in peace with it.
And Finally, your opinion means NOTHING To me, literally nothing, I do things based on my own preference, so you can save your arrogant breath and spare me, I am well aware I defy norms and have no intent to change. "
I have more, may post them later

My grandparents ask this while I'm in the room. (Note: My mamaw is gonna be 88 on the 16th of this month & my papaw is 90.)
"Has Neelie gone home yet?"
It's funny the first few times, but after awhile it gets annoying... poor senile grandparents. I just say, "I'M RIGHT HERE!" as loud as I can.

Any job interviewer that says "So tell me about a time when you..."
Any variation of that question drives me nuts.
Any variation of that question drives me nuts.
The two most frequent ones are:
1. What are you going to school for?
Me: Criminal Justice
Oh man I love NCIS/CSI/Any cop show
Me: It's actually nothing like that, our department head made a speech like that on day one and told anyone who thought it was going to be like that to GTFO.
2. So you know a lot about firearms?
Me: I guess, I'm no expert but I'm pretty informed.
What do you know about (Gun from COD)/ I have an AK-47.
Me: Nothing you need to know/ If you have an actual AK-47, we should put that thing in a museum. You probably have a Type-56 or some knockoff.

When someone hears that I train in mixed martial arts:
"Do you have a black belt?" "Have you gotten into any fights?" "Can you break bricks with a karate chop?" It's not so much the questions themselves but the disappointed looks on their faces when I say "No." No, not everyone who trains in martial arts is some kind of invincible grandmaster champion who can knock out an army while wearing a blindfold.
When a group of people is having a conversation about a topic I know nothing about, or am not interested in:
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Hmm, I don't know. Maybe it's because I have nothing useful/interesting to add to the group's conversation about some party that I wasn't invited to, some movie I couldn't care less about, or something else that I know absolutely nothing about, and no one is making any attempt to include me in the conversation?
Or maybe it's because when I actually do have something to say, everyone just gives me a blank look or outright ignores me?
"You don't go out to clubs? So you just stay at home all the time?" Yes, of course, because there are no other hobbies that involve social interaction besides going to bars/clubs. Fuck, I hate the stereotypical college mentality that getting in some drunk chick's pants is the only thing worth living for.
