Questions that annoy you - Page 2

* when I'm vacuuming at work and the doors are locked and a customer makes me open the doors and go "Are you guys open?"

* when someone walks in my dark room with me in bed "Are you asleep?"

* "Did you buy that in Chicago?" what f'ing difference does it make, are you going to drive the 6 hrs to my house to get it?

* "What time is chaper tonite?" the same time it has been for the past 500 years, thanks

* "I saw you at a party. Were you drunk?" that implies they saw me and didn't talk to me, which implies I was acting like an idiot.

One question that used to drive me up the wall (and still does!) :

"how come you're so smart?" (Because I take the f*ckin' time to read up on current events instead of watching some mindless sitcom drivel on the boob tube! Grrrrrr!)

At the club:

- Where's your man? Why, are you trying to hook up with him?

- What yo name is? My name is proper English. I am so glad we met.

In general:

- Are you an only child? I don't get this one. No I am not, for the record.

- Dang, you have a deep voice, do you sing? No, but I will if you don't go away (and believe me, you don't want that).

There are lots of other questions people ask me, but some are flattering rather than annoying.

Is your hair naturally curly No fuggnutt... I got it permed just so I could have a rats nest.

I get this one alot too--- it annoys the hell out of me!!! And worse yet is when i say it is natural and they argue with me. If you don't believe me, why'd ya ask?

Also in the summer I get asked "what are you?" --- I would happen to be a white girl who tans really dark and fast, very naturally curly hair, and full lips. But who cares what race I am--get over trying to figure it out!!!

Oh yeah--"how many tattoos do you have?" usually said with a digusted look on their face. The answer would be 8, and yes I plan to get more--you can't see them, so don't let it bother you!!

You're graduating soon?
Have you started job hunting?
You haven't found anything yet?!
What happens if you can't find a job?
That would be so sad to have a college degree and no job, wouldn't it?

Last year:
"So...when are you going to graduate?"

My response:
"SOON."

This year:
"So...what are you going to do after you graduate?"

My response:
"STUFF."

I'm glad I'm not the only person that has been bombarded with stupid questions!

I'm 6' 6", and I'm sure the other tall people out there can relate to some of this crap:

"How tall are you?"
"Do you play basketball?"
"How's the weather up there?"

Then there are the strangers who don't actually ask a question, but say things like "What's up, Stretch?" and "Hey there, Shorty!"

One of the dumbest things about all this is that the above stupid cliches have been around for decades, and yet everyone acts like they're the first person who's ever asked me how the weather is up here. Everyone's a comedian.

Another thing that bugs me is when co-workers who I've known vaguely for two years (I work at a big firm) suddenly find themselves standing right next to me, and it just then dawns on them that I'm really tall, so they have to ask me how tall I am. I usually reply, "We've worked together for two years and you're just now asking me how tall I am?" Then I walk away. Let them figure it out for themselves.
