Questions You Get Tired Of Hearing

Mr. DS · February 16, 2009, 11:49:29 AM

Not withstanding the question I'm about to ask, does anyone ever ask you the same question (whether at work or otherwise) that you swear you've answered 100 times over? Some examples from my life;

This one I get at work constantly...
"Whats for lunch in the cafeteria today?"
Its no big secret that I walk into the office every day holding a bag with my lunch in it. That and I've told the same people who ask the question, "I bring my lunch" over and over again.

This one really annoys me...
"Did you watch the game last night?"
I pretty much make it clear to everyone that I generally hate watching sports. Yet they still assume that I somehow had a change of heart and decided to spend a few hous of my free time watching a game.

I get similar: Do you want to get in on the football board (American football)? I've gotten to a point where I answer with something as insulting as possible towards football as a sport, and they just look at me amazed that I can't stand that stupid game. Inevitable it turns to "Well, you don't have to like football, you could still win", which I return with "And how would I know if I won? Oh, lemme guess, I'm supposed to take your word for it". They even talk about how the pot is big this time, because last week's winner never collected. IOW, last weeks winner doesn't watch football either, so he never knew he won, so he didn't know to collect.

Same thing with Nascar, I watch Drag Racing and Formula 1/IRL, and really can't stand Nascar, yet people are always asking me about Nascar.

Anything a partner asks that starts with "Why?"

The main questions I get tired of hearing always begin with "Daddy, can I..."
Another I get asked daily is "Do we have any food?" We can have just returned from the grocery store and my kids will ask that one.
One I hate that I get on a webgame site I go to that I am sick of is "What's everyone's age/gender/location?"
And sicne the election, I am sick of people asking me who I voted for. Most use it as a way to start a rant if I happen to say I voted for the canidate they didn't.

The ones that I get the most are:

1. "Do you have this film?"
Answer in negative is followed by: "You are destroying the history of the SA film industry!"
Answer positive is followed by: "Oh, put it on DVD for me, will you."
A refusal (because we cannot do this) is usuallu followed by: "You are destroying the history of the SA film industry!"

The one question that makes me go AAAAAGGGGHHHHH is either "You can't perhaps help me?" or "You don't perhaps have this in stock?" ~ they are already saying that I can't help them and I don't have what they want, so why bother to help?

Agreed.

I'd add "When?".

CheezeFlixz · February 17, 2009, 05:17:57 PM

On the internet ... A/S/L?

In life ...
When can you get to _____?

Can it be done any cheaper? (You want cheaper hire a amateur.)

Can I ask you one question? (I answer "Yes, and that was it.")

When will _____ be finished? (When it freakin' is ...)

Actually I get tired of most questions.

My parents constantly ask me, "Have you or will you brush your teeth and wash your face?"

My God, they ask it every night and I'm really tired of hearing it! It's so annoying and when I answer them in midsentance so they don't have to say everything, they get angry and call me a smart-alec!

"Can I see your I.D.?"

I suppose when I get carded I should take it as a compliment.
But it happens every single time!
