What questions do you hate being asked and why? (kbin.social)

I hate it when people on social media, dare ask questions when you know they're fishing for personal information/ammo on people to exploit. Like asking for people's dark secrets. Why do you want to know? Is there a fetish to this? Nobody is going to be dead serious, they're just going to give softball answers and why should they trust you, random stranger online?

And I hate money-based questions. Unless I am given a large sum of money or if any of the money scenarios where I am given money comes true, I'm not going to answer these questions because I'm tired of fantasizing about something that will never likely happen in my life. You ask what I'd do with $10,000? Give it to me and I'll show you. Otherwise, don't ask.

As a Brit who looks eastern Asian…

“Where are you from?” And when I tell them, the follow up: “Okay, but where are you really from?”

They’re asking my heritage, but it comes off as really presumptuous; as if I couldn’t have possibly been born and raised in this country.

That's when you pause for a beat, looking them straight in the eye, then repeat yourself exactly identically but slightly slower.

I’ve definitely done this before. They get angry at you. It would be funny if I wasn’t so tired of repeating myself.
