The one question they always ask you that you hate

[iLikeHippos]

"How's it been at school"? from my parents.

GRUUUUAAAARGGHHH!!!! FUUUUUU---

 

[Aerodyamic]

"Do all roofers have criminal records?"

NO, YOU FUCKING HALFWITS; we're no worse than the contents of most boardrooms in corporate America!

The other ones that really bug me are is "Why don't you like Christmas?" or worse yet, "X-Mas", and the every popular "Why don't you have children?/Why haven't you considered marriage?" It's because I'm a better uncle than father, and because a ceremony doesn't mean that I love my girlfriend more than not having had the ceremony.

 

[MintyNinja]

Where's your accent from?

For the record when I drink, or when I'm nervous, I use a bad Irish accent. No idea where it's from, never even met an Irish person. Probably just too many movies.

 

[twaddle]

let see.
"Is that a black eye"
No! for the last time it's a birth mark!

Your not from around here are you?
I have a well developed american accent but sometimes the old brit in me comes out in my voice.

Are you really 22?You look at no older than 15-16.
(Sigh)I usually respond with "Black don't crack" or "i'm prepubescent"

 

[KishinZero]

For me its always "You got a girlfriend yet?"
"No."
"Why not?"
I swear i just want to punch them in the face! I'm in middle school. I don't want a girlfriend because i like having money and i would want real relationship to last, not get a relationship just to have one.
Its even worse when my friends ask me because then they think I'm gay.

Also "How are you so smart?"
"I like school."
"What! 0.0 You LIKE SCHOOL?!?!?!?"
"Yes, not because it will help get me into college or get a good job but just so i can get homework answer these questions! "

Another "How long did you study?"
"I never study."
"Then how do you get such high grades?"
"I acually pay attention."

These are the most annoying to me.

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.

I know exactly what you mean on every count. I practiced martial arts for a while too, and those questions were asked all too often. I had the same problems with conversations, but i figured out that it's just the social people who hate anything that disagrees with them or doesn't line up with their point of veiw perfectly that do that. they are usually popular in high school.

 

[Vault101]

Back in the day just as part of general conversation people would ask where I was from Which I found annoying because

a.) Its a tiny town in the middle of nowhere and when I said it they would look confused and say "oh I've never heard of that" well of coarse you hanvt! duh!

b.) they don'tactually care its jsut small talk

also when people ask "whats wrong" when I'm upset, yeah its good intentions but it just tend to make me cry even more (I don't know why) and I turn into a blubbering idiot who can't even talk so that just makes it worse because then they keep asking and....yeah its pretty annoying

 

[Shroomhell]

"Have you seen my child?" and "Why are you covered in blood?"
Usualy in that order.

what does Habakkuk mean, and where did you get it from?

 

[Daedalus1942]

So what is that one question that everytime you meet someone new etc they always have to ask you, that really annoys you?

For me it's "Do you manicure your nails?" - my nails are naturally bright white when they get longer and everyone always asks me this.

Also little less common is "did you straighten your hair?" - I always get asked this if I shower before going out since it makes my hair look different and I always frown on guys using straighteners to get "that look" they love so much

And imagine both of them being asked in judging tones

"are you a boy, or a girl?"
but at least there is SOME doubt!
-Tabs<3-

 

[Fledge]

Do you straighten your hair?

GOD NO!

 

[NintendHo]

Whenever people see me with my three sons, I invariably get asked, usually in an uppity tone "Are you going to try for a girl?!!!!"

"Hell no! I didn't want a girl the first three times and I damn sure don't want another boy, thanks!"

 

[internetzealot1]

Do you have orange pubic hair?

I mean honestly you can only take that question in good humour a finite number of times, and I must say I've hit the limit.

Why do people always say that to red heads (gingers)?

Oh god, I feel your pain.

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

when i was a little kid i broke my arm, (when i was 6 and again a couple yrs later)
and i had to have a hard cast naturally. and the one thing every kid asked over and over, even though they just heard me say it to the previous kid to ask me, was "oh my god, what happened?!" or "oh my god, did you break your arm?".................

that was the day i learned casts could be used as weapons and was suspended later that day for testing my theory

 

[GodofDisaster]

I think I've mentioned this before in another thread but this question always pisses me off.
Normally said by friends and family, but I've had strangers say it to, by which I mean people I've just met.
The question is as follows.

"So any women yet?"

"No godammit, I don't in fact I've never been on a date and I'm still a virgin but trust me when I do get a girlfriend I'll make sure your the first person to know."

(Also the sentence above was not directed at anyone here, it was simply a statement, of what is going through my mind when I'm asked this question. Maybe someday, I'll actually say it.)

 

[Harley Duke]

I'm huge. Like, humongous. Big, lanky guy. So, people always ask me, "Do you play basketball?" No. No, I don't play basketball, dammit. Stop asking me. >_<

 

[SeanTheSheep]

"Is it seriously your real name? Man, it's just too short"
Adam D**. Yeah, 7 letters in total.
I seriously hate that.

My first and last names add up to seven letters, my middle name is four, adding up to a grand total of eleven letters. Four consonants and seven vowels. I despise people asking "Is that really your name?" or "What's your middle name?" (I prefer not to tell people because they don't shut up about it) or "But isn't it S-h-a-u-n?" -No, that's the English spelling. My name uses the Irish spelling, which is quicker, more efficient and looks better when written.

-snip- but trust me when I do get a girlfriend I'll make sure your the first person to know."

Well surely she'd like to know too, so probably second.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Are you twins?
(They are talking about me and my brother. WE ARE A YEAR AND A HALF APART.)
And "What time is it?"
(I was the only person wearing a watch for a while)

 

[Tdc2182]

"Why are you in my shower?"

Heheheheheh.

"Are you okay?"

For some reason I always look depressed when I am very tired, and seeing how I go on about 3 hours of sleep every night, I get that question a lot. Strange considering that most people know me as a very happy person.

 

[malestrithe]

What is your end of the world plan?

I hate telling people that my plan involves stealing a mountain bike, stealing a few survival supplies and taking to the hills.

 

[WorldCritic]

"What kind of music do you like?"
Yeah it sounds simle, but I'm not the kind of person to mainly like one thing. I simply tell them that I like what sounds good to me to which they reply "what kind of bullshit answer is that?"
