Top questions people ask you

[Dionysus]

Are there any questions that people ask you all the time, usually stupid?

Here's mine:

*Why don't you have a boyfriend?

*Are you lesbian?

*What high school did you go to?

*What's your racial/ethnic background?

*Why don't you drink?

*Why don't you ever talk?

*Why don't you ever shut-up?

*Are you high?

*Is that your mom or your sister?

How/Where did I get my name
Why aren't I teaching since I have a degree in English
I have a picture of me and 2 best friends on my computer at work and I swear every person who sees it asks me if that's a picture of me and my parents

[carnation]

(Especially in the summer) What race are you?

Why do you have so many kids?

How can you afford so many kids?

In Hawaii, the two biggest questions for ANYONE are:

"What school you went?" [What high school did you graduate from?]

and

"What are you?" [What's your ethnic background?]

Suprisingly enough, those two questions tell a lot about a person's local identity...where they're from...who their family is...etc.

[KappaTarzan]

"do you and your sisters make out?"
"do you and your roommate make out?"
"do you wear colored contacts" (i hate this one. i just have really blue eyes)
"oh my god is that your MOM or your SISTER?"

and this isn't a question but whenever i take my shoes off people say "WOW i didn't know you were that short!" grrrrr

[poodleNtraining]

Are you so and so? (I always get mistaken for people)
If they know what school I went or go to) Do you know so and so?

[LeslieAGD]

What's your major?

Are you sure you're okay?

Oh, you're Hispanic...? Do you speak Mexican? ( )

[Hootie]

"Does this come in white gold?"

"I love that diamond you're wearing. Where'd you get it?"

"Where's the restrooms?" (do I look like a walking mall directory?)

Thats about all I can think of. As you can tell, I live at work!

[AchtungBaby80]

"Are you French?"

"Don't you ever go out?"

"Hey, are you from the country?"

"What are you gonna do after you get out of school?"

And the answers are no, sometimes, of course, and I DON'T KNOW!!

*edited to say* I forgot one: "Are you Shelby's/Leigh Clay's sister?" Yeeeeeeees, I am...

[bucutie02]

How old are you?

Aren't you 15?

How is school going?

What's your major again?

What do you plan on doing with your degree?

When are you graduating?

What year are you?

Do you have a boyfriend?

These are all the main questions I get from family and friends of my parents- well with the exception of the first two.

[DWAlphaGam]

The question I get the most that I really can't stand is, "So when are you and your boyfriend getting married?" Most of my relatives married really young and they just don't understand that I want to be a little more stable financially and in my career before I get married, even though my boyfriend and I have been together for 4 1/2 yrs.

[UofIL AXO]

How is your boyfriend doing?

I think people ask to find out if we're still together.

How's school going?

What are you going to do with the rest of your life?

[Sisterplum]

Aren't you a bit young to be married? No...I'm 23 and I love my husband VERY much!

You're Canadian?.....can you speak french? Yes...but not fluently

You're Canadian?....are you from Toronto? No....I'm from Nova Scotia

Where's Nova Scotia? Is that near Toronto? Or Vancouver? No...it's on the east coast! (Why is it that most people only know of either Toronto or Vancouver anyway?!)

You're Canadian?.....is it really snowy there? Have you ever been to Boston? The weather in NS is the same as Boston weather!

You're Canadian?.....do you say eh a lot? No...I'm not from the country....or Northern Ontario! (Sorry to any Northern Ontarians....I just find they DO say eh a lot!)

You're Canadian?.....your favorite sport MUST be hockey right? Just because MOST Canadians love hockey does not mean we all grow up with hockey fever running through our veins....I love football...the American style

You're Canadian?....what are you doing in Florida? My husband works here

Oh...so you married an American then? No.....he's Canadian too....we moved around together!

You're Canadian?.....do you live in an igloo/have running water/have electricity? Yes.....you know this is the 21st century....and the scenery doesn't change at the border!

You're Canadian?....how come you look like an American? How different do you think Canada and the USA are?! (This one I never really got.....do people think we all look like Eskimos and live in igloos?!)


Hee hee....can you tell that I have a slight issue with the constant questions I get because I'm Canadian?! I have been asked each of these questions at least once since moving to the States. I understand that a lot of Americans aren't knowledgeable about Canada...but some of the questions were just plain ridiculous!!!!

[AGDPrincess70]

Do you guys really have pillow fights in your underwear?

Is Downriver really as ghetto as everyone says?

[Betarulz!]

*So what are you majoring in? Which is usually followed by "What are you going to do with that?" since I'm a sociology/Pre-med student. For some reason people don't make the pre-med connection to med school or being a doctor.

*Where are you from? Which is followed by "on the Kansas or Missouri side?" since I'm from suburban Kansas City...on the kansas side.

*so where do you want to go to med school? Only recently has this one been asked, but now it seems like I get it everytime I meet someone new. I honestly don't know...any place that will take me pretty much.

*What brought you to Nebraska?

*Do you know (insert name of a guy in my chapter)? No...I don't know anyone that I live with...
