Thread: What annoying questions are you regularly asked?

I am starting this thread because I thought it might bring some light relief.

So today for the billionth time since I have been married to Mr Gonzo I have been asked. Are we getting paid today? and for the billionth time I answered "No, last day of the fecking month, which is Monday". Same flaming people asking constantly too!

Mr Gonzo was recently asked by his own mother (he has only been in 18 years) why he doesn't refuse to go to the sand pit.

Generally, anything prefixed with the word "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum" is annoying.

Ah yes, seems to a popular subject!

My favourites are:

Q. What does your husband do? A. I don't have one currently but do have an ex buried under a patio somewhere.

Q. Are you working today? A. No, I thought I'd come and have a cup of tea at work at half six on a Sunday morning instead of in the comfort of my own home.

Q. How do I breath in and out? A. OK, so I haven't actually been asked that yet but I feel it's only a matter of time.

At uni I always got asked by women if I was bisexual. Which wasn't so much annoying as frustrating, as I usually attracted pretty nice-looking ladies, but I'm straight!

At the moment it's "have you got any iPhone 4s's in stock" or "when is the iPhone 5 coming out"
Repeat on average 200 times a day.

Answer is no and I don't know.

Did your tattoos hurt? (yes funnily enough having a needle pulsed rapidly into your skin is going to smart some what)
They're for life you know? (um... duh! Funnily enough I got them for that reason)

Is that your car? (no I just got out of the drivers seat for fun and had climbed across from the passenger to make myself look good)

How old is he? (when I've just stated that 'she' is part gsd, part rottie)

When are you home next? (normally from my sister and even then she's not around when I am home)

'How do you cope?'. I'll twat someone for that one of these days.

'But that's really dangerous, aren't you worried he might get hurt or worse?' um yes but I don't need you to draw attention to it!!!!
And then normally followed with 'you must miss him?'

Or the one from yesterday when asked when he is back, 'but that's a really long time not to see each other, unless you can visit him' ?????

"Does he drive a tank?"

Because of course every soldier in the entire Army can drive a tank.

"So you fancy men in uniform then"

well, actually, I never saw him in uniform for the first three months we were together as he was in Paderborn and we only saw each weekends. To be honest, I did not know he was forces at the beginning as he never told me (we met online).

Not a question more a statement ... "Well you knew what you were signing up for didn't you"

Yes I did know, it doesn't mean that I can't miss him or say that I'm missing him though does it!

"Do you miss him" is a popular one, er.....what do you think??!!!

most of the above, and always the 'it isn't a real relationship is it???' that one always grips my you know what!!!!

"Are you reeeelllly in the Army?" (usually asked when I'm in uniform.)

"Ooo, is it exciting like on TV?" (If TV was like reality you'd either hang yourself out of boredom, or get a real life.)

"Can't you just say you don't want to go?" (When told that most of my deployments have been boring for most of the time.)

I'm an archaeologist. "What's your favorite dinosaur?" Well, it's a diplodacus, but what has that got to do with Archaeology? Dinosaurs are the area of paleontologists. And everyone who ever watched Friends knows that.

"He's going away for xx amount of time? Won't you miss him?" No, I cleverly married a soldier I can't stand so that I would be able to look forward to separations.

"Can I just ask you a million and one probing questions that, were you to answer, would blow all forms of OpSec and PerSec?" Of course, and I'll give you our PIN numbers too.

Two questions asked the entire time to Mr GS and his answers given with a completely straight face. I love watching people's reactions as they have no idea if he's being serious or not.


Jo Public to Mr GS - Soooooo, your submarine goes really deep?

Mr GS - Fairly

JP - How do you stop the windows leaking?

Mr GS - They only leak on Sundays






JP - Do submariners have to have any special skills?

Mr GS - Yes, I can breathe through my ears

Mine is in relation to my job (moving gypsies along from where they shouldn't be!)
"but you're a woman, and they let you go on your own - aren't you scared they'll hurt you?!"
Um no actually, and if I was, I wouldn't have applied for the job.

"aww do you miss him?" ... Ermm no not at all :/ agghhhh!!!

And

" he could die or get shot or something over there ya know, aren't you worried?" ...no I didn't realise that (sarcasm) but thanks for bringing that to my attention! Like its not constantly on my mind already!!! Grrr!!!

When finding out I work for a Charity "so you actually get paid?"

and less of a question but whenever I had reason to questions someone's work whilst Mr D is away I get the "things are just getting to you more because you are stressed about him being away" WHAT?! that really gets me- him being away does not stop me doing my job!

directed at Mr D when they find out what his job in the army is "so you're not a real soldier then?" or "you're a secretary??" ok so that last one is more funny than annoying- I love the look on Mr D's face

Mine is in reference to Mr Tree's trade
me:he's a marine engineer
Jo retard: so he's a marine
Me:No he's a marine ENGINEER
Jo Retard: Is that the same as an engineer?
Me: Sort of except he works on boats
Jo Retard: So he's in the navy?
Me: No he's in the army
Jo Retard: But the army don't have boats!

I am seriously just goingt to start telling people he's in the SAS i'll get less questions that way!!

Someone actually told me he was blagging being in the army, we met online so he technically could have, but by the time this was said to me we were living in a quarter surrounded by lots of other people who were just blagging it obviously and the lovely kind army had given all of us scroungers pads out of the kindness of their hearts bless em
