At my job I stand behind a counter with a 30 foot wall behind me covered in pegs holding key blanks. Customers approach me and ask “do you make keys here?” Of course we do we don’t just have all these blanks for show.

“What’s it like being a twin?”
I don’t fucking know, what’s it like not being a twin? They’ve always been there. It’s like having a sibling only we share a birthday??
Then if it stops there I’m fine. But usually they ask shitty sexual questions. Less as we’ve gotten older cause old women are gross.

My girlfriend has twins and i love them so much. They are sweet and nice, but also so different. I also happened to know a few twins when i gew up. So to me it is always important to be able to tell them apart and just treat them like their own person they are. I can tell how annoyimg it can be for them, and they aren’t even six years old yet. Even their teacher often says things like: alica, tobias, frederick, and the twins over here…
One time we went for a stroll and one of them held my hand and she asked me: do you know my name? (I only knew them for like a week or so) and i told her yes, you are:… And she was so excited, because people often don’t. Or don’t even really care, because it’s “just the twin”.
When i was little i always imagined how awesome it would be to have a twin brother, and i’m sure it is, but it also has to be so annoying a lot of the time. Not because of the twin part, but because of the people part.

The people part is annoying yes lol.
Luckily despite being identical I’m like 6 inches taller than my twin. Turns out being born weighing twice as much means my twin never caught up in height! So easier to tell apart.
But that means very few people believe we’re twins now though. It was less pronounced as kids.
Hope your girlfriend’s kids grow up and punch the weirdos who ask the sexual questions.

Haha i’m the one being really annoying when tjey get asked stupid questions. I’m really good at making conversation awkward for everyone involved. Not twin related, but they both play soccer and they are the only girls in their soccer team. Their trainer is like 65 and he told me that he wishes he had more girls playimg soccer. The next time i was watching them, some boy was yanking on her hair. Like violently. And one of them grabbed the other one between the legs. I had to be really careful to not drop kick a 6 year old in the face. I told the guy: soo… Are you gonna do somethimg about it? And he was like: what? So i told him. And ge said: yeah the girls keep tellimg him that they yank their hair, but he hasn’t really seen anything. And you know how boys are, in a few years, they are gonna love this.
I had no idea i had as much restrained in my body to not beat the ahit out of him. And in hindsight, i wish i hadn’t. Anyway, they are now in a all girls team.

Ah yes, the being tormented! A ‘fun’ part of childhood!
I kicked the one boy who did it the most while I was wearing cowboy boots as hard as I could. Mother told them if they had stopped it, maybe he wouldn’t have had his shins kicked in.

“What would you do if you had a million dollars?”
“What would you do if you could pursue your passion if money wasn’t an issue?”
“What would you do if you won the lottery?”Fuck all money-based questions. Do you want to know what I’d do with so much money? Just give me it and you’ll see. Otherwise, piss the fuck off. I don’t spend all of my time, daydreaming of having lots of wealth when I know, I’m never going to see it.
“What’s your deepest and darkest secret?”
Why the fuck would you ask me such a question? Whose business is it of yours, to know what my secrets are? It is simply for blackmail or for you to get your rocks off, knowing you have sensitive information on someone. And if anyone answers these questions honestly, you’re a fucking dumbass.

I get that. My answer to that question will always be: i’ll dissapear and do nothing. The only reason i work is money. I don’t want to think about money anymore.
Same with tv shows that is basically: look at these rich people and the quirky things they buy with their wealth. I could not care less.

“Are you human?”

What’s for dinner? Why do I have to eat this? Why do I have to go to bed? Why do I have to get up? Why do I have to go to school?
The flip side of having kids is when they start asking really fun questions about science and nature and you get to share the wonder of the universe with them, but holy hell kid… I’ve answered your question 5 times already and the answer isn’t changing at all.
Right there with you. Everything right now is “why” five levels deep. I love explaining things to him, but there’s a limit.

“Do you have any sugar?”
I offered you sugar and cream when you ordered the coffee, and you just said “cream”. This is on you.

“How’s it going?”
Using this as a greeting with “good, you?” as the conventional answer is so stupid but so normalized, I feel much more strongly about this than it actually justifies lol

I don’t like small talk and avoid it with people who know me already, but if I’m masking and talking to a stranger I try to replace it with another meaningless question that’s less personal.
What question I end up going for is pretty context dependent, like if someone just arrived somewhere then “get here okay?” or similar questions about their transit are an easy replacement that’s a lot less invasive imo.
If the person has made any conscious fashion choices I notice and like that’s another easy one, though ‘conscious choice’ is key (“I like your hair” or “nice stickers on your water bottle” are good, but “you have nice skin” is serial killer vibes imo).Finding alternatives requires a tiny bit of thought each time, but imo that’s what communicating with another person should need.

Its like, I’m fine enough, thanks. You don’t need to keep asking.

Lol make em regret asking. I see it as an opportunity to babble a bit and watching people regret asking.
