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

[GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery]

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. 😆

So many on here that I’ve had said to me !
I have 4dc , an ‘invisible disability’ and I can speak French it’s like a game of bingo
balloonslayer I remember you from when my eczemay dd2 was little ( she’s 11 now) and we shared stories.
Best one was when some old lady from the church posted a half used tube of some random cream through the letterbox for me to use on her

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll pretty much that only History and English Literature.

"Is it true what they say about Essex girls?"

🙄

Yes! Every Essex girl ever has owned a mini skirt and white stilleto's - NOT.

I'm a Door Woman. Every weekend without fail I get asked:
"Don't you get scared?"
"Oh are you hard then?"
"Would it kill you to smile?"
The list goes on, typically wondering how a woman could possibly be a bouncer.

“Ooh hasn’t he got lovely hair! Do you hear that all the time?” Yes. You are the third person to say it to us in this one queue for the M&S cafe. You heard the first two people say it.

I used to do drug awareness training and every single time was asked, ' Have you got any free samples?' Hilarious...

I'm just imagining somebody on the £1m question on WWTBAM:

On what date in 1572 was John Donne born?
A. 20th January
B. 21st January
C. 22nd January
D. 23rd January

"Well, I haven't the faintest clue myself, Jeremy, but here's where I'm so glad I still have my Phone-a-Friend, as my mate Mustbe is an expert in English Literature AND History and will therefore definitely be 100% certain of the answer!"

Oh I thought it was a doll in that pram
Me; no she's real.
I've never seem a baby so small, was she premature?
Me: yes 10 weeks but had stopped growing a few weeks before
Ahh she'll catch up, I bet she will be a tough one.
Me: I expect so eventually. Her sister did.
Oh so you had another prem before?
Me: yes.
Were they in hospital long?
What happened?
Why was she early?
Will she be disabled?
Is it because you are disabled?
I bet you won't have anymore.
My friend so and so had a prem years ago. He/she is fine. Try not to worry.

I just want to pop out for milk not a round of 20 questions by every other person. Plus I don't need to know about your friend and no don't call xyz over to stare at my tiny baby.

Seriously annoying!

My DS has identical twin boys, both parents get often 'double trouble??? I'll bet they're a handful? But the one that really gets my DS goat is when they openly ask him, did you conceive 'naturally??? He says it's like asking me if I'm firing blanks

Oh but you don’t look epileptic!!!! Sorry I forgot to wear my I am epileptic bill board and ring my bell

One day your seizures might stop and you can get married, get a job and have kids (by a doctor recently)
I have all three Thankyou and have done for the past 10 years wanker

I have 1 & 2 year old Dd's- 'You don't look like you've just had a baby/s'...? I think this is supposed to be a compliment, but it's happened so often now I'm starting to wonder 'do I not look like I'm their mum!?'...

I have a pair of flat coated retrievers - pure bred, pedigrees so long they definitely wouldn't speak to a commoner like me if they could talk BUT I get asked all the time

'Are they long haired labradors?
Are they black golden retrievers (go figure?)
Are they black red setters (Hey?)
Are they some kind of spaniel?
What mix are they?
And my favourite from knowledgeable people - Are they flat packed retrievers! :-)

@Taddda I get that all the time, too! I have 4 DC now (5, 2 and 9 week old twins) but I've had it ever since DD1 came along and it's never stopped. Makes me wonder if I'll ever look like a mum - whatever that looks like

@notbloodylikely I am also extremely shortsighted. When I tell people this while wearing contact lenses, they then ask if I am wearing contact lenses. I am so shortsighted that if I read a book without my glasses, I have to hold it to one eye, as holding it far enough away for both eyes to focus is too far. Yes, I am wearing my contact lenses.

I remember hundreds of years ago Princess Anne being interviewed by school children, she was asked what it was like being a Princess, she said that's what I've always been, what's it like being you? Thought it was quite clever at the time but now I assumed she'd been asked it too many times

@FenellaMaxwell

Come on! Are people complimenting your son’s hair that bad? My son has beautiful curls and is always complimented and it’s not something i could get annoyed about.

I am childless, people ask if it's because I don't like children.

As a barmaid I would shout 'Glasses please' at the end of the night, there was always some twat who would take his glasses of his head and hand them to me, usually trying to impress some girl. I would always reply 'congratulations you are the 1,000th person to say that this week' he would look mortified in front of the girl. Every.time

@crispysausagerolls he’s three now. I’ve had 3 years of being stopped every 5 minutes. I also have an extremely cute dog. Take them both out at once and you add at least 20 minutes on to your trip. It’s annoying!

I like a predictable joke. (Nothing personal like hows the weather up there or stuff like that) there is something amusing in the predictability of it for me.... like the 'nah I am sweet enough' said with an ironic smile.

I get lots of God aren't you short, do nice things come in little packages? Nope, i'm a total bitch
Big age gaps between children and even the midwife at booking appointment asked if they were with same dad, yep been with him 25 years. And my 3 dc all look like my dh and I get asked if i'm sure they're mine grrr gives me the rage

Vegetarian for 30 years definitely longer than working in my current workplace. Every lunchtime someone will pipe up, what you got there? Ooo wouldn't you rather have bacon/macdonalds/big juicy steak? Dont know how you do it I love my meat! Every day.

Oh I have boy girl twins as well and always used to get asked if they were identical. I was once asked this by a DOCTOR who knew they were a boy and a girl.

I'm a podiatrist and I get asked regularly if I dream about feet.....

@galaxybuttons

LOL! well...do you?! 😂😂😂

@crispysausagerolls

Thankfully no! 😂😂😂
