Do you Drive?

[Aquarius1234]

AIBU to be annoyed when a random stranger asks this question??
Wtf.

YABU to ask random questions without context

Why would you be annoyed? It’s surely a simple yes or no, what’s the big deal?

Depends on the context. Are they randomly quizzing you or have you just asked them for travel/day out recommendations and they want to make sure they don't give you unfeasible suggestions for your circumstances?

It's not a question I would ask really as i assume most adults can drive. What was the context?

Well, it would annoy me if I was asked that. But only if I was driving at the time.

I presume you don't?

What about that question annoys you?

Same as @OoooohMatron - I presume most adults can drive so probably wouldn’t ever really come up in general conversation. How often are you asked and can you actually drive?!

Assuming this was a friendly chat (what other situation are we talking about?!) No I wouldn't mind.
Isn't it a factual question?

I don't talk to strangers.

Why are you annoyed??

I don't talk to strangers.

So you're properly acquainted with every single registered user on MN, then?!

Its hardly a sensitive topic, why would this annoy you.

Unless we know the context I don't see how we can comment.

I don't tend to be approached by random strangers asking me that question.

I presumed OP meant irl

This.

I think anger is a bit unreasonable. Bemused maybe.

A bit more context is needed, OP!

I don't know about annoyed, but I'd be puzzled if a random stranger asked this without some good reason.

Except the ones on the thread 😁

What the what now.

YABU.

I'm not that easily offended

I don't drive, couldn't care less if asked. Why should i unless i was imposing on eberyone else. I get a bus or a taxi.

I suppose it's maybe like the difference between somebody making friendly small-talk at the bus stop asking if you're local and Edward & Tubbs asking the same thing in their shop!

Yes, unreasonable to be angry about it.

Just say yes/no.
