To ask for the question you always get asked, when the person saying it thinks they're the first person to say it.

Light-hearted.

Examples. As a teen I worked in a shop, sometimes something doesn't scan and the customer (if paying attention) without fail would say, "Oh, that's free then?" Followed by a chuckle.

I wear very high heels a lot, I get told all the time, "How you don't break your neck in those, I'll never know!"

The latest one, my DP is a head chef, people always say, "Oooh, I bet you get loads of lovely meals cooked for you!" I bloody wish, it's a Busman's Holiday for him, he doesn't want to cook after a day in the kitchen. 😆

“What’s the weather like up there”.

I’m tall.

[Greenandcabbagelooking]

My surname is the name of a football team. I always get asked "Do you support X team?". Every teenager thinks they are the first person to ask me. They are wrong.

No!

[logicbook]

"Oh, so you really love babies then?!"
I'm a midwife, actually babies out of the womb are a fairly small part of my job!

[SleepingStandingUp]

Two tiny matching babies in a twin buggy.
" Are they twins?

Working in a call centre:

Is there anything else you need today?

Do you have Saturday's lottery numbers?

(Yes, I have the ability to predict the lottery, yet here I am working in a call centre for 12k a year)

[ProfessorofCunning]

You’ve got your hands full

I have more than 2 children 🙄

[Pipandmum]

I used to be a cashier in a movie theatre. Every single screening some grownup would come and say 'oh I'm 12 can I have a child ticket Haha'. Every. Single. Time.
I'm tall. When I was younger I was constantly asked 'how's the weather up there'?

[GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery]

@VodselForDinner my ex I'd 6'5". If he had a pound for every time he heard that one.

Can't believe the Cinema one. Haha! CFs.

[DrManhattan]

Are you Irish? You look Irish

[Kirkman]

I was thinking of the lottery one. I also worked in a call centre

My surname is the surname ot a past prime minister. Always get 'oh are you related to x?' With a laugh and a wink.

Not funny after 30 odd years

[Cotswolds10]

With twins in the supermarket when they were babies/toddlers in the trolley seats. ‘Ooh, was it buy one, get one free?’

[GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery]

@DrManhattan What do you look like? That's so random.

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

Is there anything else you need today?

Do you have Saturday's lottery numbers?

To be fair, ask (or be made to ask) such inane questions leads to equally inane answers.

[FakeFraudSquad]

“Do you visit (country parents emigrated from) often?”

I get the heels one a bit too.

“have you any (name random nationality) blood in you?”

[Ilovelala]

Your name is the same spelt backwards

[GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery]

These people asking for lottery numbers, I bet they're a right hoot down the local and describe themselves on dating profiles as "wacky"! 😆

[AlexCrowe84]

Police officer. Whenever I'd walk into a pub (during the course of my duties) I'd get either:
"It wasn't me!"
"Are you the stripper?"
"She's here for you" (whilst pushing a friend towards me).

Hilarious. Every time... 🙄

[Joans3rddaughter]

"How many children have you got?"
Being a Midwife it is often considered mandatory that you have children. No thought that Midwives also suffer infertility, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal death.

[GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery]

@AlexCrowe84 hahaha! Couldn't help laughing at that one. Sorry. Surely there must be a handcuffs comment chucked in for good measure.

[Kirkman]

Are you Irish? You look Irish

I was born in Ireland. I constantly get 'you dont look Irish, really you were born there's

YES! I was born there. Yes I have dark hair and olive skin. My grandad is Indian. Now fuck off.

[GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery]

@Joans3rddaughter that's so true.

[Icanseethepigeon]

My birthday is 28th Feb - when people find out they either tell me that I'm a Leap Year baby, or tell me how lucky I am to have avoided it.

[glenhaggis]

You don't sound English.

Do you think I don't know that?

[ShesGotBetteDavisEyes]

Don’t you have a tv? (When telling people I have 4 dc’s). That or “are you catholic”!

[Thumbcat]

I'm a postwoman, "where are your shorts?" and "If they're bills you can keep them" are the usuals
