I wouldn't ask anyone their political views in this era, could get you killed.
I ask people what they do all the time, but mainly in groups where I know everyone has a career. When it's people with just "job" yeah it's insulting to ask someone and they are like I barely scrape by as a waiter, fuck you.
True, sadly its become very hostile and each side is more and more radicalized.
Sad that some people feel that way- that they feel its an insult or feel a need to hide it. Everyone should be proud of having a job at all
It depends on what situation you ask those questions in. You don't usually need to know, say, your co-worker's political views. As for jobs, people are often judged for having certain jobs. Entry-level retail and restaurant employees might be regarded as low-life idiots.
I really have to explain this to you?
Drawing inferences about someones character, priorities, and worldviews based off their career and political views.
Ex: "He works as a lawyer, so he is most likey well organized and can study well"
"Shes politically invested in climate change, so the environment must be really important to her and shes prob a wildlife lover"
VS
"He works as a waiter so he must be trash lowlife useless piece of shit haha!! Everyone who works these low class jobs are morons!"
Get the difference?
Yeah sure buddy, whatever. You obviously have some weird personal problem with me, responding negatively to every comment on here. First thing you ever said to me was "Shut up" yet you keep talking to me. Youre just looking to antagonize me for no reason. Blocking.
You joined Reddit yesterday and thought "hm how do I be as unlikeable, unpleasant, and immaturely rude as possible for utterly no reason?" This is Instagram comment behavior, go back there.
I hate being asked that! People only ask that if it's obvious that you are not ok. When I'm in that state it's difficult to respond politely.
But I'm getting better at not being in that state.
Thanks for listening. HA!
All those interview questions are the worst, "why do you want to work here?" "Where do you see yourself in five years?" "What do you like about our company?" All the answers are basically "getting paid."
I hated how my aunt used to ask me how my day at school was when I obviously had this look on my face after a bad day. She said it in the most cheery tone everytime too.
(clearly angry and emotional, just wants to go to room and take some time to calm down) Hiii sweetie, did you have a good day at school, learn anything new?
“Can I just run in, and grab one thing?”
I want to scream, “No! The store closed at 11pm. It is 11pm. You need to leave, or I’m calling the police for trespassing.” But of course that’s bad customer service.
"How's the job search going?" don't ask me, I'll let you know when I have a job. Also, i do not like it when they ask me "what have i've got to be depressed about. There's alot of shit that happens and fucks you up man
This. I said I'm fine the first time you asked. By the fifth, I'm starting to get irritated.
I got one of them faces which looks annoyed I've been told...
"Tell me about yourself." I can't say I'm not an interesting person, I can always keep a conversation going on any topic. But these kinds of questions really throw me off.
1. How are you/What's up/Any variation of these questions
2. Why are you looking to leave your current role? "Because I feel like it" should be answer enough instead of having to make up some nonsense about growth, opportunities blah blah.
3. When are you getting married?
Are you upset/mad? Anything along those lines, even if I'm not, especially if the question is repeated or followed by, "are you sure?" It will make me mad.
Where do you see yourself in five years?" It's tough because life is unpredictable, and sometimes it feels like unnecessary pressure to have everything figured out. 🌟
(As a 31 Y/O Female that is married)
"When are you having Kids?"
Literally my Dad & Aunt this past weekend. I blurted out that I can't have kids, and then there was silence.
I simply got up to grab more pasta salad since I was at a family BBQ.
“What music do you like?”
I know it’s an innocuous question usually just intended as part of getting to know someone but it stresses me out far beyond anything reasonable.
Actually any time I get asked what I like I clam up and shut down and make up some bullshit just so they’ll stop talking.
I work at a small shop. All day everyday I have people come in and ask if we have drinks. This is done 99.9% of the time in front of our coke fridge 🤦♀️
Politcal party questions its never just a question its always someone looking to argue.
“Did you ever shoot anyone?” “How many people have you shot?”
people really cant be bothered to look up how uncommon a shooting is. Life aint an ep of blue bloods where everyone is in constant shootouts with isis cells
Anything about my work, religion or politics. Straight up hard no and fuck off I'm gonna be polite but that's it. People are way beyond their 9-5 and everything that's talked about in Facebook all day is exhausting. tell me about what makes you tick! Social media ain't it
Nationality/ethnicity. Been told I look either Indian, Hispanic, or Egyptian. I have indian ethnicity but my parents are from South America, but we're considered Caribbean. We speak english, not Spanish, I was born in the US and have an American white husband. It's complicated!
"Why don't you drive?"
I can and do. But I am not gonna drive when I could just walk there in 10 minutes.That is the whole reason I live in a big city!
Do you have kids?
I love kids but didn't find someone I thought could be both husband and father material. And wasn't financially secure enough to adopt and do it alone.
I don't feel deep regret, but it's something I wanted and some people seem confused by the situation that is pretty damn typical, unfortunately.
"What is a Woman"
They always want some absurdly simple answer that dumbs down the reality of gender and identity because they want to 'getcha' with the question.
The issue comes from the fact that they seem to genuinely think that if you can't give a simple 3-5 word answer then you're just making shit up, as opposed to the reality that gender's more complicated than that. Also, so much of their psychology around the question comes from a place of sexism and insecurity so it's always insecure dudes being shitheads.
My real name is fairly unique. I've never met another, though know people who have met others.
"What does it stand for?" "What is it short for?" "Why don't you use your middle name?"
It means nothing, it's short for nothing, and I like it. Go away.
“Why don’t you smile?”—-context-usually asked by a male..someone who’s a complete stranger…and I’m minding my own business. Likely with no interaction with said commenter?? So..I guess I have a question in return…why would anyone find it appropriate to ask someone to smile?
Can you hear me? Especially when I'm on my captions phone. Reason: I have severe hearing impairment, I know people don't know unless they know me. I don't hear them, but I read what they are saying in captions.
"Do you speak English?"
Yes, Karen. I probably speak, read, and write English better than you.
I was born in Asia. I came to the US when I was 7. I am now 35 years old and speak English the majority of the time. I have an American accent.
I was asked this question many times when I entered the workforce at the age of 16. People would always ask me this before they ask their real questions. The look on their faces when I open my mouth and answer with an American accent.
I also speak two other languages, which I find as an advantage. Surprisingly, a few people I've met made it sound like I am beneath them because English was not my first language.
"Are you aware of the hurt and pain you caused by your actions?"
Yeah well, have you considered how much more fun driving is when you're three sheets to the wind? Thought not.
Either what my job is or my political views.
ok, but what are they
None, either way
But arent those highly important and telling things about a person?
I wouldn't ask anyone their political views in this era, could get you killed. I ask people what they do all the time, but mainly in groups where I know everyone has a career. When it's people with just "job" yeah it's insulting to ask someone and they are like I barely scrape by as a waiter, fuck you.

Definitely yeah, but very important in terms of dating or friendship! Hate people who judge like that, they themselves tend to be the lowlife idiot

When are you getting married.
Similarly, Why aren’t you married?
Just straight peer pressure
Yeah I got asked it once and now I wish I had said “She died” just for the reaction
It is a somewhat complicated and long story.
Then you get married and it's "when are you going to have kids."
Then you have a kid and it's, when are you having more?
Yup!!
I'd counter that question by asking them "*Why* are *you* getting married?" Got 'em.
Why are you so fat? -my mother
lol 😭
[удалено]
They were new when they first joined 6 years ago
"How are you?" and similar questions. You can say whaterver you want to this questions. -How are you? -Hi
Office NPC dialogue in a nutshell
Just be brutally honest and they won't be asking that again. Unless they are a true friend ofc.
-"How are you?" -"I'll have the turkey on rye"
Can you write a program that... No. No I fucking can't. Give me a contract, pay me a good wage, then I can.
“No, I mean where are you really from?” I’m second gen Japanese American.
I was going to say this. I'm literally white and like third or fourth generation American and people just don't believe me.
Man... now I'm imagining that you look like John Mulaney
Are you ok?
I hate being asked that! People only ask that if it's obvious that you are not ok. When I'm in that state it's difficult to respond politely. But I'm getting better at not being in that state. Thanks for listening. HA!
And how would you like being asked while you have any trouble but "are you ok?"
I always get "are you tired?" Nah, dude. I inherited my dad's stupid under eye bags.
For some reason because I’m slim people assume it’s not weird to ask how much I weigh
Why did you apply for this job?
Dave Chappelle: "I've broke!"
All those interview questions are the worst, "why do you want to work here?" "Where do you see yourself in five years?" "What do you like about our company?" All the answers are basically "getting paid."
And the most b.s of all the b.s. interview questions, "What's your worst quality?" They KNOW nobody's going to answer that question truthfully.
Don't Starve irl
why are you so quiet?
I hated how my aunt used to ask me how my day at school was when I obviously had this look on my face after a bad day. She said it in the most cheery tone everytime too.
(clearly angry and emotional, just wants to go to room and take some time to calm down) Hiii sweetie, did you have a good day at school, learn anything new?

Have you seen Scott Seiss' bit on that (about Ikea)? If not, Google it. It's hilarious
They're not technically a customer if you don't let them in.
And if they come in after closing, they are a trespasser.
As a bi man I always get asked, “well if you HAD to pick, which one would you be interested in?” Doesn’t work like that.
Sure but it’s men, right? /s
How old are you?
"How's the job search going?" don't ask me, I'll let you know when I have a job. Also, i do not like it when they ask me "what have i've got to be depressed about. There's alot of shit that happens and fucks you up man
How much is your salary?
"Why are you single?" That is the natural state of being why are you Not single 😤
“Have you thought about adoption?”
'How is your day going?', at any time, but especially before 10am.
I suggest the standard answer: Fuck would I know?
hahahaha
Are you okay?
This. I said I'm fine the first time you asked. By the fifth, I'm starting to get irritated. I got one of them faces which looks annoyed I've been told...
How was your weekend
Especially midday on a Saturday. ugh
How’s work going
"Why won't you do __?" when it's something purely up to feeling like it or not. I shouldn't have to explain myself.
How much do you make?
“What do you do for fun” 🙄
'But can you make a living doing that?'
How many children do you have? Because one of mine is an angel now. I don't always want to answer and then have to explain.
wait so the others are demons
“Are you still a virgin?”
I'm very tiny. "How much do you weigh?"
How tiny?
Seriousthefuckly?
Seriouslythefuckly.
You messed that up so bad
Story of my life
I relate 😪
Sucks to be us, big messy mistakes. 🤝
What do you want to have for dinner?
What do I do for a living
"Tell me about yourself." I can't say I'm not an interesting person, I can always keep a conversation going on any topic. But these kinds of questions really throw me off.
Why don't you have a girlfriend? Jea no shit Sherlock, I am single! Thanks for reminding me!
It's bad when they stop asking and just assume you don't. That's a real litmus test for being ugly.
When I tell people at work that I have a college degree: “Then why are you working here???” Uhh, because a college degree isn’t a ticket to a job?
Asking when my partner and I are having kids. We dont even know if we are! Just let us enjoy where we are!
I hate being asking about my tattoos from strangers. Only strangers though
I hate being asked about my political views. My answer is the same every single time and it’s pretty simple. “I couldn’t give a shit about politics”.
How old are you I look so much younger then ppl my age it annoys me when they don’t believe me after
1. How are you/What's up/Any variation of these questions 2. Why are you looking to leave your current role? "Because I feel like it" should be answer enough instead of having to make up some nonsense about growth, opportunities blah blah. 3. When are you getting married?
This one.
Why?
"What's good?" Nothing bruv, what about you?
[удалено]
That's not a question though
yes. but i never use app so was trying to read everything backwards
“Is it in yet?”
“you know who you look like?”
Being asked *aRe YoU sLeEpy?* when I doze off and yes, I am indeed sleepy. You just woke me up.
Where are you from?
Are you upset/mad? Anything along those lines, even if I'm not, especially if the question is repeated or followed by, "are you sure?" It will make me mad.
Generally dislike folks that enforce authority because they enjoy the drunkenness that comes with power.. So, anything they ask is a bother xD
How much is my salary.
Where do you see yourself in five years?" It's tough because life is unpredictable, and sometimes it feels like unnecessary pressure to have everything figured out. 🌟
"How dare you?" I'm so tired of this one. I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do m'kaaaaay.
Stupid ones
“Where do you work?” I don’t want anyone to immediately make assumptions about me based on my career but it’s often impossible to avoid.
"So have you thought about what you want for dinner?" Of course I haven't.
Why are you single? You’re good looking & handsome. 😢
(As a 31 Y/O Female that is married) "When are you having Kids?" Literally my Dad & Aunt this past weekend. I blurted out that I can't have kids, and then there was silence. I simply got up to grab more pasta salad since I was at a family BBQ.
All questions period..
How much money do you have? After catching on that I’m retired early.
“What’s it like being a woman in your line of work?” I dunno, I’ve never been a man in this line of work.
This one.
How are you today
Why don’t you like dick?
"Are you real?"
“What music do you like?” I know it’s an innocuous question usually just intended as part of getting to know someone but it stresses me out far beyond anything reasonable. Actually any time I get asked what I like I clam up and shut down and make up some bullshit just so they’ll stop talking.
I work at a small shop. All day everyday I have people come in and ask if we have drinks. This is done 99.9% of the time in front of our coke fridge 🤦♀️
How is your studium?
*Where are you from?* The answer doesn't tell you what you think it tells you.
“Do anything fun this weekend?” Or “Got any fun plans for the weekend?” Plans? No, I do not. And that, my friend, is my idea of fun.
When I was a high school math teacher, the question I hated the most was "When are we ever going to use this?"
This question which is reposted on a daily basis.
Why are you gay?
Politcal party questions its never just a question its always someone looking to argue. “Did you ever shoot anyone?” “How many people have you shot?” people really cant be bothered to look up how uncommon a shooting is. Life aint an ep of blue bloods where everyone is in constant shootouts with isis cells
Why don’t you own your own home? I’m 25 and I still can’t afford my own home.
"How do you manage to wear pants when your dick is SO BIG" And they're right to ask about my monstrous penis.
Q. Where are you from? A. Birmingham Q. Yeah, but where are you really from? All because I'm not pure white.
What’s up? It’s always going to be nothing.
Are you okay? If I wasn't okay I'd tell you, at least if I trusted you...
Anything about my work, religion or politics. Straight up hard no and fuck off I'm gonna be polite but that's it. People are way beyond their 9-5 and everything that's talked about in Facebook all day is exhausting. tell me about what makes you tick! Social media ain't it
Why there is an N in my name instead of S.

How’s your day?
"Got a girlfriend yet? No, so you must be gay."
Why am I not married yet (meaning "What's wrong with you?.. I mean, really?)
Are you religious/do you go to church. Followed by a why not when I say no to both.
"Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?" "Uh, no. I'm not into all that superstitious mumbo jumbo"
"Why are you socialist?" is very infuriating
Nationality/ethnicity. Been told I look either Indian, Hispanic, or Egyptian. I have indian ethnicity but my parents are from South America, but we're considered Caribbean. We speak english, not Spanish, I was born in the US and have an American white husband. It's complicated!

I don't like when people ask, "What did you do today?" Nine times out of ten I didn't do shit.
Where I see myself in five years. Dude, I didn't expect to make it THIS long.
Do you have kids? I love kids but didn't find someone I thought could be both husband and father material. And wasn't financially secure enough to adopt and do it alone. I don't feel deep regret, but it's something I wanted and some people seem confused by the situation that is pretty damn typical, unfortunately.
Aren’t you white? (I’m a pale Puerto Rican)
"What question do you most hate being asked?" /s
Are the c>!rippled!<-word and r-word slurs?
"What is a Woman" They always want some absurdly simple answer that dumbs down the reality of gender and identity because they want to 'getcha' with the question.

Are you going on vacation? No, because vacations are insanely expensive and I don’t know how people afford all these vacations.
My real name is fairly unique. I've never met another, though know people who have met others. "What does it stand for?" "What is it short for?" "Why don't you use your middle name?" It means nothing, it's short for nothing, and I like it. Go away.
