Stupid Questions

Well, it's been one of those days, so I figured I'd share and maybe start a topic. Stupid questions you get asked on a daily basis.

Just about everyday someone new finds out that I have piercings, and later finds out I've done piercings, and even some high risk modifications. The first thing that comes out of everyone's mouth is..

'Did that hurt?'

...come on, I've put an unnatural hole in my insertbodyparthere what do you think?

Anyone else get stupid questions on a regular basis?

I like the question that I get asked all the time....what are you doing? And that person can plainly see what I "AM " doing.

When I am wearing my "vertically challenged shoes" someone always asks me if they're hard to walk in....
No, no they're not, but thanks for asking

For all of the stupid questions I get asked regularly I could spam this thread with them forever. Right now we are going to keep it simple in case someone else has some of the same answers as me. We wouldn't want to waste someone elses chance to share.

I know I shouldn't get pissed because the girl is just interested, but she never stops asking. She is starting to get interested in the goth scene because of me because she has never seen it before.

Well anyway, she asks me every question you can think of. From something as simple as my make-up and if all "people like me smoke and drink" to are my boots heavey and why I do the things I do or wear the things I wear. She even asks about my piercings. I have my ears gauged at a 12 and she wanted to know how I got these and how did I get them in. I often hear people ask if I had to push the huge balls through my ears. Really people, are you that ignorant?

I even let her try the stuff on like my boots or something so she can see. I can recently heard her mom say she wants to start dressing like me and refuses to wear the preppy pretty things her mom picks out for her. I have corrupted another one

I work in a grocery store with a beer cooler roughly the size of a school bus,on the same asile roughly 10 feet away is our milk cooler.(You need to know that to understand why this is the stupidest question ever).
At least 6 times a week I have someone ask me where the milk is when they have beer in their cart.

"You do know Halloween's over right?"

'How do you hug someone with that in your face?'

'I don't, if I did, I end up stabbing people so I tend to shake hands than hug'

'How do you kiss?'

'Very carefully' / 'Delicately'

I get a lot of sexual questions too, I can't walk into my 7-11 down the street without either an employee or a customer asking me something deranged or explicit.

Well I guess now you know what those people think about when they see you

How many times have I heard that old chestnut! Do they honestly not know that Halloween is every day!

I work as a conveyancer and as such I have to get proof of where peoples' money is coming from lest I be imprisoned for money laundering - the constant question I get is "you will keep it private wont you?" Hell no, I'm going to share the fact that you have over a million pounds in the bank with everybody I meet

I keep tarantulas and I get the regular-

"Are they poisonous?" (no, they're venomous)

"Do you keep them all in the same cage?" (no, they'd eat each other)

"What do you feed them?" (Christian babies....not really-crickets and superworms)

"If it bit you, would you die?" (no, from some, it would be a puncture wound that would swell and itch; from others, I would get muscle cramps and nausea)

I don't hold it against them. Two years ago I knew absolutely nothing about them and probably would have asked the same questions.

Remember when people had house phones?

Ok, I do, and I remember when you were supposed to pick someone up from somewhere, but you were running late, and that person called you.

They would ask, "where are you?": but they should know where you were already, since they called you at home, and you answered. Then you'd say; "I'm on my way", when you weren't really, you were still in the damn house. Lies.

Where's my stach?

When a person has been walking around you in there house for over a half an hour then looks at you and says, "When did you get here?"

Since I'm a Wiccan I wear a pentagram necklace to school. So you can guess the stupid questions that I get.

I had this one ignorant close minded girl come up to me and completely serious ask me not to cast a spell on her. Her mother even went up to my Aunt, who works at the school, to tell her that she was afraid i was going to cast a spell on her daughter. It was the funniest thing.

Been there, done that.

Another question which bugs me is "does your dog bite?" Erm we are talking about a cocker spaniel who looks like a dog on wheels toy, adores people and children and is most likely to lick somebody to death. He's hardly a devil dog!

I really like how credit card machiens ask you if the amount is correct when you are using your card to pay for something. Its not like if i hit no i get to take everything for free

"Do you work here?" asked at least once every time I work, because people can't see the bright red lanyard that says "Customer Service Associate" along with my name on it...lol.

When you pick up the phone and say "hello " and the person on the other lines says "what are you doing " ......

Can we talk about stupid answers to questions too? As in, when you give someone a multiple-choice question, like choose "here or to go" or "which car are we taking"...and they say "yes".

Stupid retorts in general bring 'em on.

Do you worship the devil?

I got asked that the other day at a place where I don't work, and the clothes I was wearing didn't even remotely resemble the uniforms of the employees.

Q- "Hi! Would you like a booster or a high chair?"
A- "Uhhhh. Yes"

So I phone a company and order stuff for work and I say something along the lines of "Good afternoon;this is Ian from Pembridge account number 2310" and they say " OK.Pembridge.And can I just ask is that Ian?"
I have this all the time;is their job to confirm who I am but pisses me off that they do not listen in the first bloody place lol!!

"Why do you wear black all the time?"
