Haha people are like that with my girlfriend. She can kick my butt at Call of Duty any day of the week with no trouble at all. I'm more a fan of RPG's myself.Spawny0908 said:
This is what annoys me:
"Do you have a girlfriend?" and when the answer was no: "Why not?"
For the most part what these people are really trying to ask me, but only a few will actually ask me straight up, is:
"Are you gay?"
or even more annoying when people just make assumptions:
"You're not gay!?"
The answer is no. I have nothing against gays, I even have some gay friends, but I am not gay. People often assume this because I'm a nice guy and apparently all straight men are jerks or something. They also assumed I was single because I was in the closet about being gay. I'm 17 and only just recently got a girlfriend. So what? Some people just don't feel like dating anyone. Some people just haven't met the right person yet.
You shouldn't make assumptions.
"So you're a biker?/What kind of bike do you drive?"
FFS just because I've long hair and a beard does not automatically make me a Hells Angel.

The one that never fails to piss me off, is when you get an official form, and it has "Gender: M/F".
Fething morons... it should be sex, not [/i]gender[/i].
Makes me want to punch whoever wrote the damn thing.

"Why do you like that metal stuff, isn't it all just screamo?"
No, it isn't.
Hypocritically, I will remind people not to judge it before they listen to it.
No, it isn't.

When I'm at work, I'm in my uniform, I'm putting stock on the shelves and people ask me "Do you work here?" FFS! What does it look like I'm doing?! Is this what you do when you go into a shop?!
Although, I was once in another store doing some shopping with my uniform on, this woman came up to me and started yelling at me because I wouldn't 'go out the back and find this shirt in my size' (it's Kmart you stupid woman, how much stock do you think they hide 'out the back'?), and it was EXTREMELY satisfying to say 'Does it look like I work here?'

'I do English Literature.'
'Do you like reading, then?'
No. No, I hate it. That's why I'm doing a degree about fucking books.

I can't stand when people ask me how my sex life is going.
I don't have one, OK? So stop asking me, damn it!

Yes and no. My city has 200,000 people and a community college that people commute to from pretty far. It's smack in the middle of an highly agricultural area, but it's CA's wine country.HG131 said:
and no, these people had the decency to act embarrassed when we told them we were siblings.
Did you remember X/Y/Z?
If you have to ask, chances are you already know I forgot and you just want to rub my nose in my mistake. I'm not a dog you know. Jeez.

I agree with this. Any time I feel like being quiet, or going off and reading a book, people think I'm being emo. Yeesh.NeedAUserName said:
I used to enjoy doing it. Computing and information systems were a passion of mine. But, as the years went on and I've had to deal with so many people that have NO idea how computers work, even in their most basic functions, it started to wear on me. It just fascinates me that so many people not only use but rely on computers for a large portion of their day-to-day needs, yet have no clue how it all works or how to troubleshoot any problems that arise. (usually through their own misuse) No matter how complex or simple those issues may be. Maybe I'm jaded, but it just bugs the hell out of me.Rainforce said:
"Do you know your hair's going grey?"
No, of course I haven't. I've been consciously avoiding mirrors since I was fourteen.
GAAAAH.
This is usually followed by "How old are you?".

When I got back from Iraq: (and for anyone in the future planning to ask these questions to a veteran, I'll answer them)
"Was it hot?"
Yes, it was hot, its flipping Iraq for christ sakes
"How many people did you kill?"
None, in fact, a good amount of soldiers never see combat as you think of it, even fewer actually get confirmed kills and you'd be hard pressed to find one who is proud enough to tell you how many.
"Were there explosions?"
Yes, plenty. A vast majority of casualties come from IED's, so yes, there were explosions.
and the worst:
"Did you see osama bin laden?!"
I'm not even going to answer this one.
OT: the title asked for one question, so here it is. I absolutely hate being asked why I don't speak spanish. First, I grew up in America, in an english speaking household, I had no reason to learn it or speak it. Second, Why is it latinos are the ones expected to know their native language, I don't see many green wearing Irish descendants being asked if they speak Gaelic, so why mexicans?
Probably one of the more irritating aspects of this is that I get asked if I speak spanish by often complete strangers. Why? so you can tell me the price of what I'm buying then wish me a good day when I pay? Are we going to be best buddies now because we have that minuscule thing in common? ugh
