stupid questions/stupid answers

[toodles]

I really am sick of dealing with stupid questions. (I swear I am not referring to anyone on this site at all...just a general feeling about life). On a daily basis, I am asked a LOT of questions. and many of them are good questions that I would expect people to ask. but honestly, there are some really stupid questions. My husband asks a ton of stupid questions. he is probably king of stupid questions. He asks me questions where the answers are completely obvious. "honey, what's this??" from the opposite end of the house. "ummm...gee...I have NO idea, why don't you show it to me and I'll help you out!" and it's usually something that one of the dogs has dragged in. well, my guess is as good as yours on that one sweetie!!

another common one he asks "what's wrong with her?" (referring to my 6 year old daughter). well...I can go and ask her what is wrong but if you are curious..why don't you go and ask her? (you have to understand, my dd is a drama queen so there is always something "wrong")

I just get really tired of him and other people asking me questions that they can find out the answer the exact same way I do.

And then I get a lot of these from other people "Why do you put shirts on your dog?? isn't she hot?" (said inside my office building on a 60 degree day when she has a t-shirt on) Well...she seems to be completely comfortable and not bothered by it...so what is your point again??

maybe I am just pms'ing but I am really tired of it. I think I will start giving people stupid answers when they ask stupid questions.

See, us woman are supose to know everything LOL - i hear you, sometimes it can get to us.

Mandy, sometimes it MORE than gets to us. When I get asked stupid questions like that I just want to scream. Maybe that's what you should do Toodles, don't answer...just scream. I usually just ignore my husband's stupid questions and when he asks why I didn't answer him...I just look at him and tell him to figure it out. I write everything on the calendar and he will still say...I didn't know that was today.....boy toodles, you've started me going.....LOLOL

I love the "where are you going ?" "to the store" "what store" "why do you need something" "no" "why do you need to know what store" "cause I might need something" "What store do you need something from, I'll stop there" "never mind, I'll go get, don't worry" "So why did ya bring it up"

After 13 years, its the same stores. Why do they ask?

My husband and I will sit down to watch TV together and turn it on in the middle of a movie and it never fails that my husband will ask me, " So what's going on?" Duh, I've seen as much of the movie as he has!!!

Or I'll be at the very end of a movie and he'll sit down and want me to explain the whole movie for him. Why, so he can follow the last 5 minutes of it?

Mine does that all the time!!

Well, I guess either I have A LOT of patience or I am the stupid one LOL! I don't get bothered by stupid questions..I will usually will give them a look and say
What did you ask me? Then they realize they could have figured it out themselves.
A teacher once told me that the only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

So true Brenda, but then again...your teacher probably never met my husband!!!

When I read this post I couldn't help but laugh...I was just talking to my DD the other day when she said she was trying to find the opportune time to use the bathroom ....trying to be discreet....she has a live in boyfriend.....she slips in when he's occupied with the neighbor.....then it comes... the tapping on the door & then the stupid ?..."What are you doing in there?" ...she yelled back..."Get away!!!... What the h*ll do you think I'm doing!!"....she was so embarrassed to come out...I cracked up when she told me this....

"Dang it, Drew!...I'm goin' to the grocery store, and I would have been there and back by now if you'd just stop interrogating me!"

LOL this thread is cracking me up!!!! I have to say i think my Hubby is the king of stupid questions!! he does the movie thing where he asks what's going on i'll be doing something that he can see plain as day and he'll ask me what i'm doing. when something is going on and i don't really know either he asks me what's going on it's like i know as much as you do i hate stupid questions my whole family is like that it drives me insane and yes i do scream when they ask them lol

just too funny I think I'm gonna really like this board this thread has me cracking up!
