I don’t like it when people I don’t know ask me personal questions, because I have to either evade the questions or seem rude in refusing to answer.
Since you asked. And welcome to the Board. You’re new, and I suspect English isn’t your first language, so please don’t be put off by people who are snotty about your initial posts. Look around, hang out, and get a feel for the place. We’re pretty nice. Usually. Oh, and your sig link doesn’t work for me.
It get’s tiresome when people ask me why my hands shake so much. I realise that this particular person doesn’t know and hasn’t asked before but I, myself, have been asked on a daily basis for all of my 25 years (since I could talk anyhow). I still answer with a smile on my face though.
I hate being asked “Are you having fun?” Especially when I’m clearly not having fun. Then I either have to lie or make the person I’m talking to feel defensive, which isn’t much of a choice.
here is where I disagree Jodi …
Who has the right to force you to answer his or her question??
Turning down any requests of information (personal questions) should not be viewed as rude…
it is just our simple right not to answer personal questions if we do not like to
Thank you a million for the very kind and warm welcoming. I truly appreciate that.
What does my sig link tell you??? it works for everybody else…
well , that is a very cool and friendly manner…
look , you still keep the smile…
When was the last time you cleaned your refrigerator?
LOOOOL if that is a question that bugs you, you really have a hygiene problem there my friend…
LOOOOOOOOL
What does LOOOOL and LOOOOOOOOL mean? Though overused, I understand LOL to mean Laugh Out Loud.
The question “Are you sleeping?”
Seriously…when people ask that question, and won’t rest until they have an answer, it’s both the most annoying thing in the world and incredibly stupid. If I answer the question, I am quite obviously awake. Plus, when the person repeats the question, it invariably wakes me up.
I much prefer the other method of getting someone who might be sleeping’s attention. Say their name once. At a normal volume. If they don’t answer, they’re asleep. If they do, they probably weren’t asleep to begin with. Do not repeat the question.
That’s about it, really. I like questions.
LOL I so much laughed reading your post…
you are right… if one answers, he or she must have been awake… yet if you keep ringing the bell by re-asking the same question, then yes, you would wake him or her up !!!
LOL
repeating vowels is a way of stressing a word …
other known examples

The answer is: “laugh out out out out loud” and “laugh out out out out out out out out out loud,” respectively.
LOLRF !!!
you made my day Chula !!
I live in Texas (in an urban area, not a farm or ranch). One of my least favorite questions is, “You don’t sound Texan. Where are you from?”
Some people find it hard to believe that I’m a native Texan, because I don’t have a “Texas accent.” I feel like saying to such people, “Not all Texans sound the same.” I know that these people mean well and they’re just trying to start a conversation, but the question still annoys me.
I’m diabetic. I hate it when people ask me questions about diabetes. Especially when they ask 'How does this or that effect your diabetes?" I just don’t like to talk about it, IRL.
“Is it true that Holland is losing its tolerance”?
I hate that. [cause it’s true]
