Stupid Questions

Post Reply New Topic

Don't you find sometimes people ask the most stupid questions

Today it happened to me when I went to the Cinema today I got driven there it is a bit of a walk from where I live

After the film someone asked me a question it was one of the most stupid questions I have ever been asked I gave them a perfect answer an odvious answer

Person: Do you want to come back with us
Me: Well I need to get back to Chatham

Chatham is where I live and they live in Chatham as well 10 minute walking distance from where I live

I thought it was a stupid question

Hence the question mark after my sig...

Sometimes people ask a question like that to get a certain answer without seeming rude by telling you outright what they want, for example they may want to be alone with someone.

Too bad this kind of subtlety is beyond an aspie's comprehension

Were they going to drop you off at your house, or were they inviting you back to socialize with them at theirs?
Could have been would vodzy said too.

Man. Queeries like that leave me cold. I am glad I am not NT, because if I was I would have to answer them.

was it possibly probing to see if you had other means of transport?

gotta love stupid questions-I get them on a regular basis

For example, when I go to the cinema and someone tell me "Wow, did you see that?" (talking about the movie). Sometimes I wanna say "Nah, I paid 50 pesos for a ticket just because I like looking the ceiling"

nah, the best is when you burn your hand on the stove or something and you have tears streaming from the pain-you just KNOW someone is going to ask "did that hurt?" ...or when you are watching a movie for the first time ever with someone and they ask "what's gonna happen next?" (or something similar)

I don't see why that's a stupid question.

You could have been going somewhere else before home, or someone else could have been picking you up. What did you expect them to say? "You are coming back with us!" ?

Perhaps I have missed something.

I have been asked stupid questions and have asked them myself, depending on the situation. At the library, people ask me where things are that are obvious to me. However, at home, I have asked, "Where is...," when the location was perfectly obvious.

Also, another stupid question is, "Why do some people have to die so young?"

I don't understand why you're all laughing about these questions.
They're the perfect way to nonchalantly ask about one's condition, situation or feelings.
I use them all the time with women to bring over the message that I'm concerned about them but I'm not trying to hit on them.
(People think that very fast.)

When you say "I can't find my wallet, it's lost", and someone responds "Where did you lose it?"

I dunno, I'm a female and I generally get easily confused by these things-that's why I laugh. There are sooo many responses you could come up with to it, but what are you actually expected to say without sounding like a smartass? I think that's why it's funny-people think of all of the things they could say... but it's confusing also because what are you expected to say?

When my boyfriend asks me "did that hurt?" after I've burned myself... it usually makes me laugh because so many things could be said back, and by asking I figure he probably isn't looking for the obvious answer (since he is asking something like that in the first place), or I'll just glare and say something like "no, I enjoy excruciating pain-I think I'll do my tongue next".
