You could say, “I need to go find Jack, I wonder what happened to my groom?”

Questions about religion especially, it’s opening a whole can of worms that I feel that really doesn’t have to be opened. It’s one of those topics that I imagine would sometimes be better not asked on this site… Oh well, might as well have some fun with it though, right?

Not too many, few beliefs that other hold “bother” me. People can believe what they want.

The ones that do push my buttons are the “what can I eat to cure my cancer?” questions in that vein.

I understand many people are trying to understand things like evolution and religion, but the way some people ask them really annoys me. At least google the topic and get some basic knowledge before you go to a forum and ask that god damned “why are there still monkeys” question.

And bible quotes don’t justify anything. I also sigh when people say “What about this? Because the bible says this and now I’m really confused….” Effing hell man…...

How do I loose (x) pounds in (x) days. The are always very unrealistic.
My boyfriend was seen talking to my BFF, does that mean it’s over between us?

“When will those stupid Rethuglicans stop [fill in the blank]”

“I dreamed about the guy I like, what does that mean?”

“FOLLOW ME ON TUMBLR!” (these are usually modded as soon as they are posted)

There are more, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.

Any question that can be answered by simply browsing the links at the bottom of the page.

Racist and blind political questions get me every time.

Berserker's avatar

Questions that are actually statements or personal opinions. ’‘Doesn’t Obama suck?’’ This site is relatively clean of that kinda stuff, although it has happened. Places like AnswerBag are notorious for that, though.

@Symbeline Ever been on City Data?

Berserker's avatar

No. Wassat?

@Symbeline A trolling website. Most logic is thrown out the window there. It’s fun, albeit frustrating to read.

Berserker's avatar

I think I’ll skip it lol.

Do you think he/she likes me?

Why does my animal ________? How can I stop my animal from ___________? Then when you answer they don’t follow anything you say. Later a new question will pop-up asking “Is it bad to get rid of my animal because_________? Sigh.

Questions people should be able to figure out from the preponderance of the evidence, especially relationship questions.

Those that are illogical or so narrow-mindedly applied they leave no room for any other plausible answer (this is questions outside ones’ faith)

Questions that try to use nature to explain the natural humans condition when it is beneficial to making their point and ignore when it doesn’t.

What @Symbeline said. Things like “Does Obama suck?” or “Are Republicans actually evil?”. And, yes, I know that we’ve had huge discussions and crap over this, but I still don’t like “What does this dream I had last night about a purple monkey dishwasher mean?” or “I dreamed about my ex last night, what does it mean?”. Ugh…

Also, the ones that go ”[INSERT 20 SENTENCE PARAGRAPH OF DRAMA ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS] halp plox?”

I actually like religious questions provided they are not troll questions. Discussing religion is one of my favorite things to do.

When somebody asks how to make their dog fart.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

The “What does this dream mean?” questions are the only ones that bring on a heavy sigh. Each time one crops up, it makes me long for a well-written, kind, stock answer that could be posted by the first one of us who reads the question.

Kardamom's avatar

I often say, “Oh Geez, here we go again.” when I see a question that starts with: I’m totally in love with this guy, but I found out that he was (cheating, still in love with his girlfriend, becoming distant, my friends don’t like him because he’s a drug addict, accidentally hit me etc.) and I don’t know what I should do to make him love me.

—Heavy, heavy sigh…_

josie's avatar

A few of my own questions, a few weeks after the fact, have made me sigh.
Oh well.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

@josie Good point. When I run across some of my old posts, they go past the “Sigh” factor and get upgraded to an “Eye-roll”.

faye's avatar

The dream ones annoy me. I like the religious questions- I’ve been led to some good sites. I also enjoyed the Michelle Bachman youtubes the other day.

dappled_leaves's avatar

@DominicX, if I had a dream about a purple monkey dishwasher, I’d probably want to know what that meant, too.

Questions where it is obvious the questioner has already made up their mind and isn’t open to listening to alternative opinions.

ucme's avatar

My boyfriend stuck his tongue down my throat, now just where do we go from here ya reckon?

OpryLeigh's avatar

“Does he like me?” type questions make me sigh.

Lightlyseared's avatar

@ucme or it’s close relative “my boyfriend screwed me in the ass. Could I be pregnant? Also is all this blood normal?”

ucme's avatar

@Lightlyseared Although to be fair, the question you cite does have a little more “penetration” to it, you know?
