Stupid Questions from Stupid People

I don't know about anyone else, but there are some questions I just don't like to hear. Some of the worst offenders are stupid questions, especially those from stupid people:

"Where are you going with that can of whipped cream?"

I was walking through the lobby of my dorm building, on my way to the staircase, ostensibly to my room, which was private because I was an RA, and it was Friday night. Duh...

"How long do I have to wait to get my mail?!"

This from a student bugging me during my mailroom shift. "Gee, I don't know. It depends on how many snot-nosed kids like you interrupt me while I'm sorting it. Now will you let me get back to work, please?"

"What's your problem?"

Much of the time, I want to say "You," "Your attitude," "Your stupidity," or something like that but the offender usually gets a cold glare and an arched eyebrow. I can actually be very nice when I'm not being pushed around, ignored, stepped on, you get the idea. I have dark hair, a darker sense of humor, and I don't smile as often as other people do (or as often as I'd like to), so I guess other people think I look mean when I'm really just frustrated.

"Do you *ever* smile?"

Yes. Quite often. (Refer to above answer.) But I don't smile when other people ask snide questions like that instead of, say, telling me a good blonde joke and seeing if I laugh (I usually do). This question always hurts.

"You don't celebrate Christmas?!"

I had my pentacle necklace in plain view when I heard this one...

There will be more...just wait.

Email me if you feel like it.
