"How are you?"
You don't care how I am, you only ask that expecting me to say "Fine, How are you?" and then you'll say "Fine"
"What's up"
You don't really want to know what's up, you just want me to say "not much, how bout you?" to which you'll reply "not much"
BLAH, I hate conversations that are always the same.

well i have a series of questions that i get asked and it's always the same order.
I've been called D.J. my whole life. my dad wanted to call me that but he didn't want me to have his middle name. so technically I'm not a Jr. , and my actual initials are DTR.
so first it starts off with people trying to guess my middle name.
and naturally they guess every J name they can think of.
so then they ask "what is your middle name?"
and after i tell them tanner, the next one is "so what's the J stand for"
then i have to explain everything for like the 45393475 time in my life
it just gets a little annoying after awhile

When people ask me if I miss living with my dad, or if I miss living where I used to live. I-REALLY-effing-don't-want-to-talk-about-it.
I once got asked where my "heart" was. (Whether it was with my dad or with my mom.) How the hell am I supposed to answer that question?
I hate being asked what kind of music I like...it's almost always a trick question where the person asking is just going to judge me based solely on what bands I like. If I say I like Tchaikovsky, I've got a stick up my ass. If I say I like Green Day, I'm a poser. If I say I like Korn, I'm scary/weird. Ugh. Is it really that hard to get to know me by just spending time with me and not by what kind of music is on my ipod?
And of course..."What do you weigh?" WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND ASKS A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL THAT????!!!?! (And yes, I have been asked this before. And it wasn't by a doctor or anything. It was supposed to be "casual conversation.")
"Do you have a headache?" <-- usually asked by my mother when I'm in a bad mood. There are many reasons I could be pissed off that have nothing to do with migraines.
"Are you PMSing?" or "When's your period?" First of all, that's personal information that I will only share with you of my own accord. If I wanted you to know, I would have told you by now. Second, there are plenty of reasons I could be upset that have nothing to do with my time of month, so stop making assumptions.

All these 'do you have a boyfriend' questions remind me of something really funny. One of my friends who was with a girl at the time once had to get up on stage at school because there was a visitor. He asked her if she had a boyfriend and the whole year started laughing and he didn't have a clue what was going on.
I hate it when people ask me if I'm courting...the first time someone asked me this question I stared at them blankly and said I don't know. I had no idea what it meant.

I would have said "OMG what happened to your face?!" It's just as insulting, almost.
Why do you wear a bikini and practically show off your scars?
- OH, er I'd rather not be wearing pants and long sleeves. Well why do you where one at all?
There's alot more
I'm not really that bitchy, but ha it's just really annoying.

"why do you walk like that?"
(cos i do! i dont know why.)
"have you ever had sex?"
(what happens in the bedroom stays there, between me and my man. i dont feel the need to share it with everyone)
"is that your natural hair colour, or do you dye it that colour?"
(i got asked this one so often in school that it just got boring. my hair is very very dark brown, but not black and yes, its natural.)

"Are you okay?" when I'm clearly not. I admit, I do it myself sometimes but it just makes me feel worse that it's obvious I'm not okay but yet they still asked me.
Also "why don't you smile?" is one I get a lot because I don't smile a lot but, I don't really feel like walking around with a fake smile plastered on my face. If I have no reason to smile, I won't. As well as "why don't you talk?" which is because I'm so shy and everyone just likes to try and get me to talk but being social and talking isn't something I do.
Re: Questions you HATE people asking you... -

Some that really bother me are:
What's up? - Like a lot of people have already said.
(Dyed my hair blond yesterday) DID YOU DYE YOUR HAIR BLONDE? - No, I didn't...but it's blond.
(Credit Card Guy) I just received your credit card payment for this month, did you pay your bill for the month? - I just don't get it.
(On the plane) Flight Attendant: Would you like vegetarian or chicken?
Me: Vegetarian.
Flight Attendant: Sorry there is no more vegetarian...Would you like vegetarian or chicken? - I'm just like wtf?
I hate when my mom asks me, "How was your day at work?" - she gets the same answer from me every single time.
I'm sure I have loads more...but I can't think of them at the moment

1] What's up with your eye?
My left eye is blind, so it's small and lazy. I don't mind explaining this fact but so many people ask, I get sick of it!! 2] What's wrong this time?
This is mainly from my family ... Sometimes, when I'm just sitting, I am just sitting. Doesn't mean I'm angry / upset / depressed. Why can't they just say "how are you / you OK?" rather than the aggression.

Pretty much what everyone else has been saying. Asking me if I am okay constantly and then not believing me when I say I am. Or if I have a boyfriend. Then wanting to know about my entire relationship. Then if random people get personal and want to know if I am a virgin. Does it matter? Is it really relivant to you?
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without.

"Are you okay?"
I HATE when people ask that when I'm crying or OBVIOUSLY upset, it's like, "YEAH I'M FINE, I'M JUST UPSET FOR NO REASON!!!!!!!" Like really!

My personal most hated: Do you like Josh?
Are you and Josh going out?
Why don't you think thats funny(in a conversation about how people who cut should just die)?
Why don't you take off that wristband?
When did you last cut?
And, when asked by a doctor, Is your poop the size of Texas, mushy, constipated, or firm?(Oh how I loathe that question....)

"What does your dad do for a living?"
WELL...he spends his spare time manipulating, impregnating and then disfiguring women =]
No, i've never given them that answer...it's always just been "He's not around"
I hate even more when they THEN say....
"Oh....sorry" WHY SORRY?? Don't be sorry....PRIG!!

Gosh alright, some have already been repeats but:
1. Are you okay?/Are you depressed?
Because I clearly look happy or you wouldn't have asked this. Of course I'm not okay, but I will lie and say I am.
2. How did you get that cut?
Well, I probably got it from my dog or I tripped, as usual. However this too is a lie.
3. How did you get that scar? (referring to my dog bite on my face.)
Dog bite.
Wow, did it hurt?
umm, Idk, it happened when I was a baby.
What kind of dog was it?
how the f*ck am I suppose to know, I was a baby.
4. Why are you so quiet?
Because I have nothing to say. Which then usually mutates to the first question.
5. How was school today?/How was work today?
The same as always. Boring and a waste of time.
6. What are you going to do the rest of your life? (mainly asked by my mother, who greatly intimidates me)
....blank stare.
I suppose that's all for now though.

Another one- people who reply to your good points by asking "But?"
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.

i hate the question
what do you want to do with your life?
for some it might be a easy question but for me i just dont freaking know!
so stop asking me!!!
Re: Questions you HATE people asking you... -

"Why did you come here?".... "Did you drive?"- In reference to the school I go to. The first question insinuates that the school isn't good and the 2nd one is just dumb because it is so far from where I live. It also makes me feel like there is something wrong with me, what I'm studying, and the decisions I make.
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?"- Well, the answer is obviously because I've been rejected several times. I can't think of a better question to make someone feel like crap.
"Do you believe in God?"- For more reasons than I care to go into.
And this one is the worst: "Why are you so quiet?"- I haven't gotten this one in awhile, but when I get it, its really annoying because I really want to talk/be liked/etc. but its hard to come up with stuff to say in certain contexts. It reminds me how difficult it is to relate to people.

tnere is nothing i hate more than when people come up to me and ask if im okay, If I was I wouldnt tell them and when im fine they say u look down you okay? >< pisses me off badly
what is love but a four letter word that expresses a mix of emotions to one another
Re: Questions you HATE people asking you... -
August 5th 2009, 04:47 PM
I never knew "What's up?" was such a dreaded questions.... I find it a great question because you can interpret it how you want...
For example it can mean:
How are you?
What are your plans for the day?
Doing anything fun?
Are you free right now?
Re: Questions you HATE people asking you... -
August 5th 2009, 06:25 PM
I hate when people say the following things
You ok ? (When obviously you are not, like if you are crying sometimes)
They say 'Only ok'? (When you say a movie was ok)
Another one that got me a few weeks back , i felt sick and sore heads.
My work mate says 'Are you pregnant?'
Just cause i am sick, does not mean i am pregnant.. So annoying!!!!
I am sure there are more which i will add later...

Yeah, i hate this too, but would it be impolite if you just answered 'Yeah, i'm ok thanks' and dont ask them if they are. This was they will not ask you stupid questions.
I am so going to try this one time

I absolutely HATE when my dad asks me "What are you thinking about right now?" while we're in the car and I'm quiet (like always he thinks I'm depressed) I hate it mostly because his question interupted my train of thought which I either can't tell him about or was about something stupid and either way I can't tell him because HE MADE ME FORGET!
My dad when something is wrong
Him: Are you ok?
Me: yeah (sometimes lying, mostly not)
Him: Would you tell me if you weren't?
Me: yeah (while thinking No way in hell)
