Asking the obvious questions

[sinkoman]

Does this irritate the shit out of anybody else? When somebody asks questions that are just so mind numbingly obvious, that there's no way to really answer them?

Like, if you're looking for a plunger, and you come out of the bathroom and ask "where's the plunger?", only to have some dipshit ask you "It's not in the bathroom?"

NO! IF IT WAS IN THE BATHROOM I WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW, WOULD I?

Or if you do something like, toss some waffles in the toaster at 11 in the morning, only to have some asshole ask "It's 11, you don't want to eat lunch?"

No... If I wanted to eat lunch, i'd make myself lunch.

I guess what's even more irritating is when people respond to your question with another question. It just feels like they think you can't think for yourself. You know, I don't need you to tell me what I might want to do, or what I might not have thought of. I'm smart enough to think of those things on my own.

Yes, I am a know it all good for nothing teenager, yes, this is a rant.

It's just become a natural part of conversation and a way to register your interest in another person's affairs.

this happened in the car today actually, me and a friend were going to the same place in 2 separate cars taking two separate routes. He calls me and goes, "hey I'm on brookwood road, is that right?"

me: I don't know I've never been down brookwood.
him: okay, but which way do I turn when I come to the end?
me: I don't never, I've never been down brookwood.
him: Well, could I just turn left...would that take me there?
me: .....I'm hanging up.

I couldn't understand that, xcellerate.
At all. :|

lol, did that really happen, x? That's funny.


It pisses me off in my manufacturing class when people do this, and they are looking for tools..

Retard: (While standing in front of the wall that holds 20 micrometers) Where is the micrometers?

It's the same with the machines 'How do I do this on this machine?' holy hell, listen to the teacher for once, you dumb f***.

They always come to me, because I'm the only one who listens.. I get my work done quick, but all my down-time is spent helping retards do their work.. Although I usually tell them off, and tell them to ask someone else, listen to the teacher next time, or f*** off.

I think he means if he know's he's checked the bathroom.

Oh goodness, I nearly forgot we were on the internet and almost took you as being honest.

He's serious. I've done that too.

So you don't like people asking obvious questions?

It gets me annoyed sometimes. But not always.

What ticks me off more than anything is when you go looking for something, eventually find it, and have some joker say "It's always in the last place you look!"

Well ****ing done--I'm not exactly going to keep looking am I you tit.

I do [keep looking for the something], just to piss them off. Then I realize that this is inevitably going to fail.

Fortunately I don't hear people say that too often.
