Stupid Questions?

[bitterclinger84]

What questions do people ask you that are just so stupid you want to slap the person asking you?

One of mine is, after you've injured yourself in some way, people will be like "Oh, does it hurt?"

No, I'm sitting here with ****ing tears in my eyes and bleeding, but no, doesn't hurt a bit!

When I'm asked what questions people ask that make me want to slap them.

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.

I hate it when I go to a store or a drive thru and an employee asks me how I am doing. I know it's a customer service thing, but do they really care? You could be having the crappiest day ever, yet when you are asked that you always say, "Good. How are you?" Like you really care too.

One of these days I want to be asked that and then reply with a 10 minute long story on how my day is going really crappy. :twisted:

I've done that :) I'm of the mind that you shouldn't ask if you don't really want to know. :D

As someone who has worked in customer service most of my employed life I can say that I only asked that if I really wanted to know...like from long term customers and whatnot...A new face would simply get a "Hi".

But, I'm probably different from most...

[BasicGreatGuy]

"Why are you sick or why don't you feel well?" Those kind of questions truly annoy me.

[Hoobeedoo Bejesus]

Being in IT, i could make this thread pages long.

"Why does it say my password is wrong?"

"Who Let the Dogs Out!?"

[ImNewHere]

"Who Let the Dogs Out!?"

I usually try to answer them with an explanation that the stray dog problem in this nation is at epic proportions. There are millions of homeless pets that are let loose because the families just can't support them anymore.

I then suggest they adopt a pet or make a contribution to their local animal shelter and they can really make a difference.

"Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear Every Time You Are Near?"

Ornithology is not my forte, and can't speak to anything other than birds fly South for the winter and North for the summer. Their migratory habits have more to do with survival during extreme weather changes than human activity.

I always ask how people are doing while I'm at work. But, I love our customers and love hearing about their days or their pets.

I do hate getting asked stuff like "why is my dog having seizures" or "will you fix my dog" or "we got these one week old kittens- can you take them" (my boss did and they are healthy now). I work at a dog/cat supply store, and yes, we usually know the answer to those questions, but, we aren't a vet.

I have this baby bird I found in my yard...

(We fed him with moistened cat food and kept him outside 'till he could hop out of the box we had him in. Hope he wasn't cat food.)

Moistened cat food and chicken noodle soup is the way to go if it is something like a robin. I have a baby hawk now that someone brought in...he gets ground mice and mealworms...yummy!

It was a robin.

I bet raising a hawk would be fun!

Still featherless and it's really cool, except had to get a new blender. No way was I blending up frozen mice and meal worms in my drink blender. :))

It's a rat with wings.

It flies, it dies.

Do the right thing.

When I was pregnant, I HATED it when people asked me, "Are you excited?"

:wall:

[CID_0687]

The one that ****es me off the most is when I'm out somewhere with my twin daughters and some silly old bat has to walk up and say, "Are they twins?"

[Hoobeedoo Bejesus]

When I was pregnant, I HATED it when people asked me, "Are you excited?"

"What are you having?"

[khigh]

"What are you having?"

"Can I feel your belly?"

I would save the rat too. Live traps only at my house. Mainly because if one of the Sugar Gliders got out, they could get trapped. And, rats are cute.

[sircharliebrown]

"What are you having?"

When my daughter was a baby, I could have her dressed in pink from head to toe and someone would inevitably ask me if she was a boy or girl. I would answer back, "It's a boy, but I'm raising him gay".

You should have said "No. Why do you ask?" and gotten indignate.

[ImNewHere]

"Can I feel your belly?"

I ask her that all the time. Even before she was preggers.

Ground as in ground hog or ground as in ground beef?

I once had someone on ebay (from the US) ask me if we took American money here.

If Seven Eleven stores are open 24/7/365, why are there locks on the doors?:eek:

Most annoying... you called me, have the courtesy of identifying yourself first.

"Honey, if I were stranded on a desert island so you couldn't hear me, would I still be wrong?"

That could actually work both ways...

Proper phone etiquette would be to identify one's self upon answering the phone, such as, "Hello this is BP."

"Hi BP, this is CID, how are you?"

Somewhere along the line we all became rude *******s...I'm guilty of it myself. :D

[captusa]

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.

They're the ones that ask the stupid questions.

Top on the list of stupid questions has to be:
"If man evolved from apes, why are there still apes?"

[captusa]

"Honey, if I were stranded on a desert island so you couldn't hear me, would I still be wrong?"

That is one of the great questions in life.
Definitely not a stupid question.
General form: (If a man is alone in the woods. No women around and he says something.
Is he still wrong?)

I tend to skip it myself if I know the person at the other end will recognize my voice or phone number.

When my daughter was a baby, I could have her dressed in pink from head to toe and someone would inevitably ask me if she was a boy or girl. I would answer back, "It's a boy, but I'm raising him gay".

OMG ... I had totally forgotten these.

I have boy-girl twins and people would ask me if they were identical. :lol:

My responses were either polite or "no that one has a hmm hmm(don't know if I can say that anatomy part here)" depending if I were in a ****y mood.

Sometimes I would say "No Thank God because if they were she would likely have Turner's Syndrome" and leave them scratching their heads.

*****
Or my daughter has very curly hair and some lady asked me if I permed it ...who would perm a 6 month old's head :eh:

[ValricoKate]

Once I was explaining a regulation and indicated that a 300 foot circle was required, the person (full grown adult) asked me if the circle could be an oval ...:rolleyes:

LOL I hate working in customer service jobs.

"Is this on sale?" *pointing to something in the case, directly under the 'All X 50% off'* :doh:

Just playin' with ya.

lol I figured as much. :hug:

"Can I feel your belly?"

If you are going to ask a pregnant woman a stupid question, "Can I feel your boobs" has a lot more potential benefit. :shifty:





... Just wanted to beat ImNewHere to that one. ;)
