Most Annoying Question

[steamboatsam]

tough call as they're all incredibly annoying but i'd have to go for "how was your weekend?". I get asked by about 10 different people every monday, some even on tuesday, and once even on a wednesday - i do the same fooking thing every weekend - get drunk on friday night, have a tom on saturday morning, get drunk on sat afternoon, evening & night, have a tom on sunday morning then sit on my fat hole until midnight sunday. Then i go to bed yet can't sleep at the thought of the question being asked repeatedly the next morning.

I speak to nobody and hide away at my desk everyday from my mgr etc etc but when I do get asked Id like to be very honest and say -rushed to the gym after work on friday got a dvd out, had a shuffle went to bed, woke up saturday had another shuffle, bought a rude mag - had a shuffle, watched a dvd -sunday had a shuffle, went to the gym, had another shuffle, by 6pm very down and contemplating suicide as to the thought of comming into work on monday

however I just say -quiet nothing much -how about you (i have no interest and do not give 2 sh1ts what anybody got upto) and then Im standing there listening to their action packed bumper weekend

I walk off and still think my marathon shuffling and gym and talking to no one all weekend is the better choice

I voted for the second one but it could be either of the top 2. The lad who sits beside me asks me Monday and Tuesday how my weekend was. Doesn't matter on the Tuesday that he's already asked me on the Monday he says it again anyway. From Wednesday on he focuses on any plans for next weekend. He also asks me pretty much every morning if I won my match last night. I just alternate between yes and no though I only play once a week so I don't know where he gets his 5 days a week matches from.

Absolutely cracking thread. They’re all very decent candidates. I’d probably go for the lunch question though purely because even though the whole weekend thing is incredibly fooking annoying at least somebody might say ‘I was at the game’ or whatever and it strikes up a conversation about football or something. But if you’re in work and somebody comes up to you and ask, ‘wat did you have for lunch?’ you just feel like battering them. Like I barely know you, don’t want to be seen with you, never mind speak to you and now you want to know what I had for lunch. Why would you give a shit whether I had soup and a sandwich or a fooking carvery dinner. Now get out of my fooking sight.

Another annoying one is ‘any holiday plans?’ It’s none of your business so get out of my fooking face.

yeah -any holiday plans?

ive never been abroad in my life went to england for the first time last year for a weekend though

actually nobody speaks to me at all at work or at the weekends

(I know who you are, and i think youve been to scotland)

Or the fookin Barber today asked me where i worked. Thats shite, i told him to fook off and cut my hair and earn his minimum wage.
He started asking me stupid questions like "How do wear it (hair)." On my fooking head jackass, just give me a number three like I asked for you coont.
Then a world class song came on the radio (Divine Comedy - Everybody Knows that I love you) that i just wanted to listen to but he had to start shoitin on about the world cup and he hadnt a clue. Just talked yourself out of a tip you foreign bastard. Next to priests, teachers and GAA officials, I despise the barbering profession. If you wind up as a barber you know youve hit rock bottom.

i dont let males cut my hair - there is somthing gay about it

did you get the same hair style as the one in the KPMG profiles!!!!

How about.....How was your weekend? Were you at the match on Sunday? Lucky you sang the purple and gold last week, cos you won't get another chance to sing it again til next year!

[ironbar1690]

another few annoying questions I get are the following:

mgr - why have you not returned by voice msgs or emails?
mgr - why have you not filled in your timesheets?
mgr -why do you never log into the phone
mgr - 7.5 hrs admin explain please?

I find these highly annoying to say the least -chill and you do you what you have to do and i do what i have to do- trawl on dating websites, footy, p0rnsites, brotherlocator etc etc

too many sites to look up than do work

we will sing it tomorrow, we will sing it in 2 weeks time....and beyond...

The Purple and Gold:

A father and son
They stood hand in hand
As they watched Wexford play
From the back of the stand
And the words that he said
I'll hear when I'm old
It is a beauty to behold
When you see the purple and gold

Oh the purple and gold
Is my heart and my soul
From the men of today
To the heroes of old
Oh the purple and gold
Is a dream I still hold
It was a privilege I was told
To wear the purple and gold

I can still see them now
On the All Ireland day
The Rackards stood proud
By God could they play
And the Quigleys stood tall
Every man brave and bold
It is a beauty to behold
When you see the purple and gold

Oh the purple and gold
Is my heart and my soul
From the men of today
To the heroes of old
Oh the purple and gold
Is a dream I still hold
It was a privilege I was told
To wear the purple and gold (x2)

A taxi driver asking what you do for a living. I used to tell the truth and tell them what I do but that just resulted in them BENDIN THE FOOKIN EAR offa me so now I just say I'm an accountant and they quickly change subject.

I hate it when those tools who hand out free papers ask me do I want one. I've a long commute and I'm asked every single day do I want one at least 7 or 8 times. Do I look like someone who would read one of those pieces of sh1te? Am I wearing a short-sleeved shirt? Am I wearing unfashionable shoes? Do I look like a civil servant?...The answer to all of the above is NO so fook off, get out of my way and stop delaying me, I am an important person.

Being asked how you are more than once in a single day. Girls are very fond of this one. They ask how you are in the morning and then, then they'll fookin well all ask you again in the afternoon??? What the fook? I am either grand or not too bad. I am never anything other than that so please girls go asey on the "how are yous?".

Definitely, though I find all these phrases even more annoying when I hear the words coming out of my own mouth (and "any holiday plans?" is a repeat offender). Basically if I ask it I'm saying "ok I'm fooking tired of talking to you now, am just stalling while I plan my escape from this conversation, if you'd take the hint and make use of any escape route you'd prepared earlier it would be much appreciated"

Anybody else ever get the feeling that lots of people just do stuff to be able to say they did something e.g. "oh yeah I was at the Snow Patrol concert last night". And then they're disgusted when you say something like "ah I just pottered about the house doing nutting, had a few quiet pints on Saturady night, nothing special". Fook off, it's my life.
