Hi,
Have you heard the word FRUSTRATING ???
well, some questions are just so frustrating that some people would hate you ask them about that…
Some people hate to be asked about their personal life… Some about anything taboo, and some simply hate any questions…
What questions would you hate that I ask you ???

And the general question here is . . . ? This is an IMHO question at best; much more likely trolling.

All of the above, plus you’ve posted it multiple times in a very short thread.

**TalkAboutIslam** , your sig is way too long, and redundant. You have 11 links, all of which go to the same basic place, PLUS you have the link in your homepage. Trim your sig, or I’ll do it for you. Also, post your sig only ONCE in each thread, regardless of the sig’s length.
This thread is in the wrong forum. I’ll move it.

I would hate you to ask what I thought about your sig line, because then I would have to tell you the truth which is essentially what Lynn said, but a lot more colourful.

Dear Lynn,
you know I can easily edit my signature and trim it down, real down…
but come on, do you expect me to remember where and how many times my signature appears…
please be more flexible on the second request you made…

I think you’ll find that when you trim it down, it gets timmed everywhere at once. I think it’s dynamically inserted, but I could be full of it.
If you check some of the previous posts in this thread (given you can’t edit your own posts), you may see I’m not completely full … yet.
No more friendly comments today, I’m all out of them.

Yes, we expect you to know that, if you posted your signature in the first post of a thread, you should not post it again in subsequent posts in the same thread.

OK, I’ll try to get in the spirit of the thread:
I make a lot of longish trips in my car. Sometimes I have to deal with lots of traffic, or bad weather, or other things that make the trip unpleasant. And when I get where I’m going, someone invariably asks me about the trip. “Did you hit a lot of traffic? Which way did you come? How was the weather on your way here?” Drives me nuts. I don’t know why, it just grates on me to have to relive the journey as soon as I arrive.
And welcome to the boards, **TalkAboutIslam**.

Questions in general do not annoy me so long as they are asked with an open mind.
When the person in question has already made up his/her mind what s/he thinks of me and just wants to be an ass … this is what bugs me.
And lots of other things, too.🙂

thank you cuauhtemoc
your frustration at the questions cited is very understandable…
your post shows clearly that you live your unpleasant trip as a nightmare you wish it ends ASAP
when you are asked those questions above, you are requested to go back in memory and review the “film” of that day… : a very painful act indeed.
My advice to you, just take it easy… and do not review the whole journey before you when asked those questions…
and one last thing, keep smiling…

LOOOL
though I disagree with the wording, I agree in essence…
it really bugs me too when someone asks a question while he or she has already a certain answer in his mind, and whatever my answer is, he won’t simply give it any chance…
