My husband does this all the time. He doesn't pay attention when we're watching a movie, then at crucial moments he'll be like "Wait a minute, who is that guy? Are we supposed to know who that is? Why is this lady alive now? I thought she died?"
GAHHHHHH!
Or he'll say "What's the name of that show? You know the one. That show with the guy."
Oh, that guy.
@surkim: Or look at you like you're dumb for not knowing. "Uhh, fool, YOU don't know!"
@KatyElle: Oooooh that's so annoying. I think men are incapable of paying full attention when watching movies or tv shows.
@CarolinaCola: lol!! My DH does all of these. The most annoying is when he asks that kind of questions repeatedly in different ways, as if I will suddenly know the answer
oh my freaking god I work with someone who does this ALL.THE.TIME. We'll get new information out about something, and she'll run up to me and ask me all these questions nonstop about things I don't have the answer for and she's been there longer than I have. So, if you don't know the answer lady, I don't either!
My mom does that to me all the time. She always says things like "remember when this happened? You were little, maybe 2." Yes mom, I totally remember being 2.
Or when people keep asking you why you don't like certain foods. I have no idea why, I just don't! Sorry!
@KatyElle: Yes!! This! I don't like chili. I never have. And EVERY SINGLE TIME my mom offers me chili I have to re-explain that I don't like it. Like she forgets.
Edit: And I was a vegetarian when I was in high school and I swear the same people asked me over and over why I was. Sooo frustrating.
@CarolinaCola: Yes, I am the weirdo who doesn't like mashed potatoes. I know every single other person in the world loves them, I hate them. Every single effing holiday since childhood, "YOU DON'T LIKE MASHED POTATOES? But why? They're soooooooo good! I can't believe you don't like them! Why not?"
I just... don't?
@KatyElle: Same, except I don't like pie, so I'm like the Hester Prynne of any holiday.
I sometimes do this. I swear it's not my fault though! Even if I'm paying attention, I can have a hard time following what is going on and especially who is who. A lot of people look the same to me, so telling them apart is hard, especially if they all wear similar clothing and have similar hair.
For example, my FI and I have been watching Battlestar Gallactica and I'm the worst at that show. Everybody wears military clothing and most of them have military hair and there are a bunch of characters that are played by the same people. Then, to make it worse, they jump around in time and location until I have no clue what is going on. I'm constantly asking my FI what the hell is happening. Luckily he puts up with me!
My broether does this ALL the time. I don't like people talking at movies and he always asks questions about the movie.. just watch it! you'll get it at the end.
@Coffee cup: Exactly! That's what I always tell my FI. I'm like "If you just keep watching, all of your questions will be answered."
So weird! Most guys I know complain that their SOs do this. I've been led to believe it's a chick thing, so it's refreshing to know that guys do it too. It seems like some people just assume there's something they're missing & they wonder if you can enlighten them. I guess you can tell yourself it's b/c he thinks you're smarter? Ha ha That might help.
I'll admit I'm sometimes guilty of it when we're @ home & it's a movie he's already seen. Especially if we agree it's not that great & don't plan to finish it!
Hahaha oh dear.... I'm totally the 'guilty' one in our relationship. I'm constantly asking questions like 'What's the name of that song... By that guy.... Who was in a music video w that other guy...' lol!!! FI puts up with it though, and is surprisingly good at figuring out what I mean!
Haha - you're totall describing me!!!!!!
But I don't get mad if he doesn't know the answer.
Ah yes, the notoriuos rhetorical question, of sorts. It's like they are asking what you're obviously thinking but had the self-control not to blurt out.
Sorry, I'm one of those people. I tend to blurt out whatever is on my mind lol. FI is patient with me though and usually says he doesn't know, makes up some funny weird answer, or just ignores me because he realizes I just blurt things out.
My DH does this ALL THE TIME. It makes me crazy!!!!! And if I get snippy and point out that I know as much as he does, he gets annoyed with me, lol!!!
My favourite is when the news is on and I'm busy and he calls for me to come see something so important/crazy/shocking and it's something like a squirrel in a park in a stock footage shot. Wtf?! Really?! That was so important?!
Along with that is typically when I'm cooking and the exhaust fan is on, the tap is running, or the dishwasher is going and he decides to talk to me from the other room. I can't hear you. I couldn't hear you yesterday when you did that, or the day before. Why is that so difficult to remember?!
*vent end* I love him, I truly do, but oh man does he ever test my patience some days, lol!!!
My SO will ask what's happening in the middle of shows we are watching together all the time. Or he won't hear something and wants me to repeat it. That always drives me crazy. Pay attention, because if I have to repeat every line I am going to miss what is next and then I can't fill you in!! He is learning to not even ask because I am rude back haha.
@bakerella: Haha! I got snippy with my FI last night when he asked me about the noise and he was like "Why would you act like that?" and I was like "Why would you ask me an impossible question?!" And I told him next time he has a question like that he should ask the wall because he'll get less sass that way. Haha :)
One of my pet peeves is when people say the names of people you don't know, like you should know.
One of my co-workers does this ALL THE TIME.
Ex.
Me: What did you do last night?
Her: Well, I FINALLY got in with Jane!!!
Me: ........................ Jane?
Her: My Physio girl!!!!!!????
Me: oh...
Like, can't she just say " I went to physio last night!" or "I had dinner with my sister in law!" or "I hurt my back so I got a massage!" Instead of "I went in and saw Laura!"
WHYYYYYYY. You're my co-worker, I don't know everyone you come in contact with in your life and I ESPECIALLY don't know your physio, massage therapist, therapist, doctor or grocery store cashiers names!!!
ETA: Hell, I don't even know ANY of the names of the people who have ever given me massages.
FI has this tendency to be talking, get distracted by some shiny thing or something, and just trail off. Then two minutes later he'll pick up the thought like nothing happened. It drives me insane, especially when he does this when we're on the phone and I have nine million other things I need to be doing other than waiting for him to finish his thought. It's to the point where when he does it I'll actually say "finish your thought!" and he gets all pissy, but I mean, come on. I know you know what you were going to say, you just got distracted and forgot to keep talking. It makes conversations hard to follow.
@CarolinaCola: me examples: We'll be watching a movie together that we've both never seen before and he's steady asking me questions like "Why are they doing that? Where are they going? What does that mean? What's going to happen next? Are they going to get back together?" and so on. I'm like "How the eff do you expect me to know this? I know the exact same amount of information about this movie as you do..."
Guilty as charged!
I am the worst and eventually look to Wikipedia to answer all my questions. Basically halfway through a movie I read what is going to happen and I'm done. I just don't have the patience to sit and wait.
LOL.
Today I spilled coffee all over FI's desk b/c I was excited to show him something and smacked his mug and it all went flying. Immediately, as soon as it spilled he started yelling, "WHY DID YOU KNOCK THAT OVER?!?!?".
I DONT KNOW, the real question is....WHY DIDNT YOU DRINK IT SO I COULDNT SPILL IT.
So I guess he and I are both guilty, and it is annoying.
This is me! I don't really expect an answer from FI though, I just am voicing my thoughts more than anything
@CarolinaCola: or on the flip side. People who tell you everything that happens while it happens. "that girl just went into the gym" "oh, she's talking to that guy again" "hey! that's the guy who was on the bus earlier!" "oh no! she just dropped her phone!"
My dad's gf is like that. She acts like she see's things we don't when we watch movies.
My grandmother does something similar to me. She always asks me what my sisters are doing or where they're at or if one works today or why the other one hasn't come home yet. I'm patient with her but I don't know what they're doing lol. They’re grown, adult women; I don't keep tabs on them.
I could have written bakerella's entire post! (just switch out DH for FI lol)
My mother does this and it drives me crazy! She calls me on my cell phone when I'm grocery shopping, or even home (she can't be bothered to learn phone numbers, so she calls whichever number is stored in her cell phone) no matter what time it is and asks questions like 'Why isn't my new iPad connecting to the internet?' Um...I dunno Mom. I don't have an iPad, and I'm not there. Then she gets mad at me, like I somehow broke her iPad from my house. Last week it was that, why won't your father's Kindle Fire link up to his Facebook page (again, I dunno, don't have one so don't know how they work), and she honest to god asked me how a woman she works with is able to watch movies on her iPad when she's not 'online'. How the heck should I know?? Yes, it drives me CRAZY!
Another one? When my FI asks me questions he knows the answers to. "What's for dinner?" The chicken that's in the fridge. 10 minutes later "What are we doing with the chicken in the fridge?" to which I shake my head. Or when he asks me ridiculous things, like when I stand up from my comfy chair "Where ya going?" 2 steps in that direction for my water glass. Relax.
Oh! And when they ask the SAME question, just worded differently! "Have you ever seen Star Wars?" No. "What? Really?" Yes, really. "You've NEVER seen Star Wars??" Nope, never seen it...until I finally just say "Ask me again, I love this!" and they shut up. LOL.

Do you absolutely hate when people ask you questions that you have NO WAY of knowing the answer to? Because I do. It bugs the hell out of me and no one seems to do it more often than my good old fiance -.-
Some examples: We'll be watching a movie together that we've both never seen before and he's steady asking me questions like "Why are they doing that? Where are they going? What does that mean? What's going to happen next? Are they going to get back together?" and so on. I'm like "How the eff do you expect me to know this? I know the exact same amount of information about this movie as you do..." Or, just now, we're sitting here in the living room and we hear a noise outside. He asks me what it is...uhhhh I your guess is as good as mine.
ARG! Maybe I'm just a PMSing bitch at the moment, but it drives me nuts!
