Questions you hate being asked?

[AFDogs]

I'm going to second the 'when are you getting a girlfriend?' it isn't as easy as some people seem to think.

 

[craigos]

The 'when are you getting a girlfriend?' turns into 'when are you getting married?' and onto 'when are you having kids?'.
People are sh*t.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

"when are you going to settle down and get married and have kid's?"

can't exactly answer: "likely never because i don't think i can ever make a lifetime commitment to someone and frankly, find it pretty shitty to marry a girl full well knowing despite how i feel today. it may not reflect how i feel in 3-6-12 years from now let alone 30 and I'm sure as shit not going to stay in a relationship just because i made some promise 18 years earlier. plus if i leave the bitch can take half my shit, for what reason exactly?"

end of the day of i've felt i was in "love" 3 ****ing times, only one girl i think it was "real" i still think about her a lot and just thinking of the way she'd smell lightens my mood, there's just something about her. But the more time goes by the less i think about her, the less attachment i have, the less those feelings of "what if" exist, I no longer think about what she's doing unless i'm drunk and lonely, i no longer smile when she's like my face book posts or worry about i/how i should answer some drunk txt she sends me out of the blue and its only been a year and a half. If my feelings for her could wane so much in just 18 months how the **** could i promise to "love cherish and honour her as long as we both shall live?"

You're kidding yourself if you think a common-law partner can't take half your stuff after a few years. Works both ways though. You can take half of hers. So just find a rich woman

"What are you doing?" by anyone in my family. Because they make the biggest deal out of effing everything. Even trying to make Nutella on a slice of bread.

In my family we "make Nutella" in the WC with the door closed, thank you very much.

 

[Doss]

"What are you going to do with yourself?"

I have a full time job, and I've completed my qualifications, but I'm still no closer to knowing the answer to this. And I hate being asked, to be honest. Because it's something I'm still asking myself on a daily basis and I'm yet to find a definitive answer.

 

[Piss Poor]

I hate being ask why I shit in 330ml bottles.

mate I don't invade your private life so don't invade mine, what I do in my own time is my own business.

Tell them you're giving it all up to become a high class gigalo.
I hate that question too.

 

[Gasometer]

Well in the old days when Parents used to give kids things called smacks....the inevitable question was..

"Why are you crying?"

 

[Gough]

Well in the old days when Parents used to give kids things called smacks....the inevitable question was..

"Why are you crying?"

"Do you want a smack?" always struck me as one of the more stupid questions a parent could ask a child.

 

[Doss]

I was tossing up between gigalo and monkey butler trainer.

"Do you want a smack?" always struck me as one of the more stupid questions a parent could ask a child.

...or 'would you like another one?'





Kid says inappropriate comment.

Parent..."What did you say?"

Monkey butler trainer, finally, a career for people with Arts degrees

Isn't that your answer right there?

 

[Doss]

Giving that spiel once is okay. Doing it over and over whenever I'm forced to make small talk with seldom seen relatives at family events is less so.

More and more the answer to that question will change every few years.

 

[Doss]

That too. Which makes it an even sillier question to frame in that way.

I find if I want to glean information from people about their careers, "how's work going?" is more than sufficient. If they are comfortable talking about their changing aspirations, then that question gives them invitation enough to let fly.

"what are you going to do with yourself" seems to carry the implication that whatever you're currently doing is not okay. In my case it is technically true- my current job is just that, a job. Certainly not a career.

I'm probably being picky though.

* How are you? (only hate this when I give the person a brutally honest answer, and they get uncomfortable because it wasn't the stock yeah good thanks answer)
* How about that weather out there? (filler small talk at its worst)
* Are you growing that facial hair for Movember?
* Are taking part in the ice bucket challenge?
* Did you watch (insert name of dopey bogan reality show) last night?
* How does your girlfriend put up with your cynicism?
* Hey can I ask you a question?

 

[thurmanmunson]

"What do you do for a crust?"

"I usually just don't shower for a few days"

Ugh, god I hate that phrase. It sounds so feral.

Mine was "how about I give ya something to farking cry about?!"

Same without the fuking.

Arn't you sick of the grand final yet ?

How many times would you say now?

How many times per day?

This is how to handle a job interview

Skip to 3:05 for the 'weaknesses' question.

As unorthodox as that kid is in the interview, it reinforces the fact that HR people are that far full of shit and are right into wasting everybody's time instead of sitting down and talking on real terms, not spurting out HR shit from their mouths like the time wasting c****s that they are. How anyone can be paid to do that is beyond me. HR people generally have no farking clue about anything, particularly the specific role they interview a qualified person for. Job interviews are more a test of who can reciprocate the HR speak bullshit instead of who is actually the best. /rant.

 

[Xtreme]

How many times would you say now?

How many times per day?

I will announce when I get to 200 and I am not far off from doing so

I will get there before game 1 of round 1, I might even make it to 210-220 if I watch it more than once a day.
