    Ok, a little story. It was a quiet day on facebook when suddenly someone whom Ai-chan doesn't remember adding into my friends list say, "Whats up."

    Ai-chan sat there in front of the computer thinking, "What am I going to say to this?" Then as Ai-chan thought about it more and more, the feeling of not knowing what to do turned into knowing exactly what to do, and that was to curse American laziness. Like what the heck am I going to answer to that? It's like a catch-all question that makes the listener having to think about the answer more than the speaker having to think in the first place. Why do I have to expend so much effort when the one who said it didn't even think anything about it?

    Why, Americans? Why did you create "What's up?"

    Anyhow, what phrases do you really hate hearing?

    "When are you going to get married?" is not acceptable. Everyone past 30 gets that all time. It's simply too common to make a difference.

    p/s: Ai-chan answered the question with, "Just stabbed my neighbour. Now I have too much blood on my hands."

    "When are you getting married?"
    "A friend of my friend has a really nice daughter you might like her, want to meet her?"
    When you see these you might think oh the stereotypical 30 year old man that hasn't gotten married yet... the problem is that I'm 16 so all I do is stare blankly at person who said it and then walk away

    immediately upon hurting oneself accidentally ( like hurting your toe on a wall corner) someone inevitably has to ask, "Are you ok?". like...of course not I just hurt myself in a spectacular fashion and atm I'd rather watch the world around me burn instead of answering that kinda question.

    “Oh my god! You have so much hair!”
    Or “Well yeah, you have all that hair”
    >> Said to me, a person with (yes) a lot of hair. (Not thats it’s long, but it’s pretty thick, and curly ya’ know?) And on days when I dont take time to style it.
    Like, is that supposed to be a compliment? It doesn’t ever feel like one.
    ...ahahah

    "Can I ask a question?"

    I don't like how this is already a question... like seriously. I mean can't the real question be asked already? Why are you hanging me with this non-question question?

    Sometimes, this is what happens when someone ask me this:
    Person A: Can I ask a question
    Me: You just did. =.=
    Person A: Lol, no. It's another question.
    Me: Sorry, you've reached your limit of one question a day.
    Person A: ....

    They're trying to say "Do you need help?" in a non-condescending way, it's not a pointless question

    I think the standard answer I give to that question is simply "not much what's up with you" therefore giving them the chance to think of a conversation they wish to start.
