Patricia emailed the show early this morning and brought up the subject of...THAT QUESTION.
Why do people say “Are you all set for the Christmas?” - what does that even mean, and especially 5 weeks out from Christmas.
So when we tweeted the hashtag #annoyingquestions, we got a few other suggested annoyances from our listeners. Here's a selection:
It's got fierce cold, hasn't it? (yes, it’s November)
It doesn't feel like Christmas does it ( No, it’s November)
Are you Busy –(said to a taxi driver...original)
Are you working here now? (And your stood BEHIND the counter WEARING the uniform!!)
Have you much turf for the winter? (Okay, just Colm sent this one)
What’s the weather like up there? (The bane of the tall person)
Ya would’n have a spare smoke would ya Bud! (On the street)
Excuse me, can i speak with you for a moment? (On the street again, by a chugger with a clipboard)
What questions annoy the hell out of you?
