  • Hey guys!

    Do you ever hear the same jokes/sayings/questions/whatever brought on by something about you?

    For example, I study Psychology in College. I can't even say how many times I've told someone "I study Psychology" only to get "Oh, I'll be your first patient" or "So are you analysing me right now?" Once or twice I've even had "So you can read my mind?" o_O

    Or saying "I'm a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do". "I'll make sure not to get on your bad side so!"

    And sometimes I hear: "Has anyone ever told you that you look like that actor Saoirse Ronan?" (I suppose I kinda do but still :P )

    So what kind of things do you hear said to you, for whatever reason, a lot?

  • My name is River...
    "Hey, Lake!"
    "Cry me a River."
    "Do you know who River Phoenix is?"
    "Were you born on a River?"

    I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

  • Whenever people find out I was an exchange student in Japan, they ask "Did you eat lots of sushi?" No, I didn't, because sushi is really expensive over there -_-

  • "How old are you? You only look like you're (12-17 inserted here)!"

    "You're not really 21...no way."

    "So you're a senior? So you're about to graduate right? Doing your student teaching and all?"

    And the ever popular when I'm with my sister:

    "Are y'all twins?"

    WE DON'T. EVEN. LOOK. ALIKE. We got this twice in one day in two different places the day after Christmas. What even.

    I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

    Yeah my friend's name is Grace and people say "You're such a disgrace" and it annoys the hell out of her.

    I hear people use the word like waaaaaay too much... find a different one.

    Whenever I say I'm a biology major, I always get:

    "What do you plan to do with it?"


    I'm getting tired of answering "I have no effing clue."

    Haha, yea I got that a lot in college as well. When people asked what I'm going to do with my engineering degree, I just answered "Be an engineer".

    When you get asked that, you should answer "I'm going to do biology with it."

  • The first question I'm usually asked is,
    "So you play basketball, right?" No, not all tall people play basketball...

    Or when I tell them I play rugby they usually say "Have you ever been injured?" It's not :that: dangerous...

  • Are you and ------ sisters or even twins? You looks so alike!

    My best friend looks very similar to me, it's awkward.

  • "Oh you're a twin? Have you ever tried to switch places for a day?"

    Yes, because I've never heard that one before...

    And then there's my (not) favorite:

    "Can you read each other's minds?"

    "Oh you're a twin? Have you ever tried to switch places for a day?"

    "you and your twin sister don't even look like sisters."

    Omg when someone says "Really?" constantly then that annoys me to no end. You could be my best friend or my worst enemy, if you repeatedly say that I will want to claw your eyes out!
