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.

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!

"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!

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)

You’ve got your hands full

I have more than 2 children 🙄

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'?

@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.

Are you Irish? You look Irish

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

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

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

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.

“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?”

Your name is the same spelt backwards

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

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... 🙄

"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.

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

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.

@Joans3rddaughter that's so true.

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.

You don't sound English.

Do you think I don't know that?

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

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