Any question a one night stand asks you the next morning is nosey.

The question you really wish they would ask is 'wheres the nearest busstop?'

Ha! That reminds me of a time I was walking home one morning from the GF's and I was passing this other house when a woman hangs out of a window and says "Excuse me! Where am I?" I says the name of the area and she says "No, what town am I in?" "Monaghan" says I. "Ah bollix!" says she.

another question

This is really amusing me.....people are UNREAL like!!!!!!!!!!!!

The good lady and myself are together 8 years this Christmas. I constantly get asked by people whom I don't talk to very often 'When are you getting married' or 'When are you having kids'. Both of these annoy me no end.

I was talking to my neighbour not all that long ago. The conversation was in free flow and I happened to mentioned that I was better off in the new job. I was asked how much I earned and I stupidly blurted it out as the bluntness of it caught me off guard.

"And what do you do?" from someone I've known for ten seconds.

Why do you care? So you can figure out whether or not I'm worthy of conversation with your esteemed self? **** away off ya rude muppet.

A wee boy: Why are you not a mammy?
Me: Ehm... a... eee... amm... maybe I will be one day.
A wee boy: Is this why your boobies are so small? Because you're not a mammy? My mammy has big boobies.
Me: :eek:
A wee boy: Maybe when you are a mammy you will have bigger boobies.

All this in front of his parents - my boss and his wife, and my recently met male co-worker.

I dont mind money, work, health, relationship or religious questions. We are all only human, and these things are subject to change.

What rrrreeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyy pisses me off are "questions" designed to undermine / belittle you. eg. You wouldn't know how to do X, would you?, when the person knows well you are either an expert in that area or are totally clueless. They just want to put you on the spot.

I dont know why it bothers me, but I hate ringing a company looking for someone and the receptionist asks "ok, may I ask who's calling?"

Really bugs me.

"How did you manage to afford that house?" I've been asked that so many times that, if I use a taxi to go home, I get out at the top of the street and walk the rest of the way.

One day my daughter was asked by a teacher, "Were you adopted?". Simply because she is mixed-race.

I was in a taxi one evening and the taxi driver asked me if I was related to so and so, (so and so being my brother who had died in a car accident about 6 months beforehand), when I said yes, his next question was, "How did he look in the coffin?" I was so shocked, I just said "fine" then told him to stop straightaway and got out. Wish I'd punched the fcuk out of that cnut :mad:

It actually really pissed me off for some reason!

Was just reading through the thread and about to give the example above when I spotted your post, Whoops. I get this all the time here. Someone asked me last week outside a coffee shop. What kind of feckin' small talk question is that ffs?

Told them I'm not religious to which he answered, "But are you Catholic?". I'd been polite to that point but told him to feck off after that.

Seriously, that's such a private question and you know it's a loaded question when they ask you to make all kinds of uninformed judgements on your politics as well (i.e. that you don't like English people). :rolleyes:


Actually the funniest time I was asked this question was travelling around Italy last Summer. Was on the train out of Rome when a nun in the full gettup was sitting across from me. We hadn't talked at all until she leans over towards me and asks me quietly, "Are you Catholic?". I said "No" and that was the end of that. Obviously didn't want to chinwag with a heathen.

Absolutely nothing. I'm a bit unnaproachable in that regard. Can't really imagine anyone sidling up and asking me anything personal. "Fock orf ya nosy cnut" would be the answer anyway. I have been called "standoffish" in the past. Too right.

I got on the bus today and an old man got on beside me, I was asked every question he could think of. Am I in college, What am I studying, how long is the course, will I emigrate, where do I live, is it a nice place, what do I think of his daughter that went back to college to be a teacher. Then I put my earphones in.

I actually like talking to people on the bus, its usual older people who start chatting. When i used public transport when i had babies, they were a great source of discussion for people, babies are like magnets. It costs nothing to give someone a stranger a little bit of your time and perhaps they don't have too many family/friends close by and need some human interaction with people even a stranger on the bus.

A cop once asked me where I got the money to pay for the insurance on a motorbike. I would have been about 20 and insurance would have been the inequivalent of a months wages. I told him it was none of his business.

How much did you pay for your engagement ring....

Working in a shop some woman shouted "Should you not be in school?"
"What??"
Then she muttered something and I ignored her.
No idea where that conversation was going. I wanted to say actually I'm doing a degree and I'm the manager and make more than you...
But other staff were there and didn't want to belittle them either.

The next customer was more in shock that I was.

I think nosiness is in AH speak, thinly veiled begrudgery.
I've seen people leave school at whatever age back in the 80's and by the grace of god its worked out for them. That goes for people who didnt finish the leaving and a few years later went back and did it , got their degree in what they wanted to do and moved on, to people who slaved as an apprentice and years later were successful . Both these types of people, as an example, have spent years knocking on the door trying to make and get a life for themselves. Yet some clown will come out and say that they knew them when they ' didn't have a pot to piss in'. God forbid that maybe they should get some credit for their hard work. The nosiness usually boils down to where/when/what they did in the previous years and searching for holes.
So you say he went to America/UK/Germany for six years for work but what was he really doin over there. A cousin of a cousin of mine heard that they saw him over there in a park one day, a couple of years ago lying in a park in the middle of the day using a newspaper as a pillow. Didn’t look too successful then.
Listening to the begrudgery/nosiness you have to fill in the blanks and assume that it was Sunday afternoon and that maybe he/she had read the paper and was havin a well deserved snooze in the sun.
Maybe that’s what nosiness is. Someone, and that someone is usually a c*nt, has written their script to your life and cant understand that somehow you have deviated from their script and their nosiness is an attempt to fix it.

e.g. nosy prick: how can they afford that car
psychology behind the nosy prick: I always thought he/she would drive a banger
So the nosy prick now has a problem. He/she begrudges the fact that you have a nice car. Their script is broken and they want to know why, anything to make them feel better. So forget about explaining that you worked hard and got a promotion/gave up the fags/didn't have a holiday this year. After being tormented to the point of being a nosy bastard , they will accept any other reason except a valid one for the answer to their question. Hence their friend of a cousins cousin story who heard that the car is a knock off/you were given it by your aunts uncle/you found it at the side of the road etc.
Basically take it as a compliment when someone crosses the line from polite curiosity to outright nosiness.
It means that you have something (tangible or intangible) that they want and that they know they will never get, and because of that, they don’t want you to have it either.
Take the nosiness as a compliment that you have broken the nosy persons script and that they are spending a lot more time wondering and worrying about you rather than the millisecond of your irritation when these clowns intrude on your consciousness.

Fairly sure that's a fairly standard question!


Every Irish person I've met in Australia asks the same questions:
What visa are you on?
How long's left on it?
What do you do?
How much are you on an hour?

As if they have feck all else to talk about!

I'm always getting asked that as well, I usually just say neither.

Hate the assumption that because I'm Irish I have to be one or the other :mad:

I remember when I started my first job in telecoms - open plan office, so all conversations involved everyone - one of my co-workers mentioned that she had been horseriding from a very young age. One of her colleagues promptly inquired if it's indeed true that horseriding breaks the hymen before a girl is sexually active.
