What questions do find when meeting people you find really annoying or really awkward or just don't want to answer.

Mine are How is your week? How are you?

That is just a couple so what about everyone else here then?

"How's it going?"

That's like saying, "Hi, I'd like to talk to you. You start."

How do I answer that? I'm terrible at starting conversations.

No one ever answers honestly. It's always just "well." Pointless, forced conversation.

"Why aren't you married?"


"Who do you hang out with?"

"If you have so many college degrees, how come you work here?"

I HATE it when people ask me:


"You're so pretty! Why are YOU a lesbian?"

"Why do you worship THe Fat Man god?"

"Who do you hang out with?"

"Why do you dress like that?"

"You crazy?"

"How come you don't ever smile?"

Keeping in mind the first question that you often get asked, I'm pretty sure you'd never get asked the last question if you weren't pretty.

"what are you thinking about?"

The answer to this question is either a) something drawn out, complex, and utterly boring to anyone without the same interests as myself, or b) I have no freaking idea from one minute to the next, my brain goes really fast sometimes.

These would probably be the questions that would annoy me the most. The only one I can add is, "What do you do for fun?" (Clubbing bores me, enough said)

"What kind of music do you like?"- not bad in itself, but one gets mighty sick of it.

"Do you like boys?/ Do you like girls?/ Are you a virgin?/ etc."- I do not like it when people go into hysterics when I identify myself as asexual.

"Why do you block your ears and hum?"- because you're too loud, numbskull!

"is something wrong?"

"How was your day?"

"You mean like 'ASS' and "BURGERS' ?!"- it's spelled with a 'p', numbskull. To avoid this one, I just tell people under 25 that I'm "autistic." :wall:

"So what are you doing with yourself nowadays?" - I hate this one. Trying to individually tailor a response that'll do the least amount of damage to their impression of me is irritating. I don't have a job because I have no motivation to get one, people treat me like crap when I do work, and no employer would want me because they don't want my autism. :wall:

"Do you miss me?" - Only one person has the right to ask that question, and you're not them. So don't ask such an obvious ego-centric question, because if you do I'm going to be bluntly honest about it. Jerk.

"What's on your mind?" - Not that I even know most of the time because my head's in a fog 24/7, but I don't really have the capacity to communicate what goes on in my head. Am I allowed to just make something up? :lol:

I get the marriage one alot, too. I also get the ultra-annoying "Why don't you have children?". In today's society ( as in all past ones) a woman's worth is based on how many children she produces. And I don't wanna. People think of me like I'm Hitler or something when i say I CHOOSE not to have kids. So I don't say it anymore. I just say " It looks like I'm just not lucky, then.".
People seem to react better if they believe my ovaries are flawed as opposed to making a conscious decision regarding the use of my body and the resulting 18 years after that.
