I hate it when people on social media, dare ask questions when you know they’re fishing for personal information/ammo on people to exploit. Like asking for people’s dark secrets. Why do you want to know? Is there a fetish to this? Nobody is going to be dead serious, they’re just going to give softball answers and why should they trust you, random stranger online?
And I hate money-based questions. Unless I am given a large sum of money or if any of the money scenarios where I am given money comes true, I’m not going to answer these questions because I’m tired of fantasizing about something that will never likely happen in my life. You ask what I’d do with $10,000? Give it to me and I’ll show you. Otherwise, don’t ask.
This is a very USA thing, I find. I’ve met people from other developed western nations and they don’t ask that, it’s usually an American thing.
Here it’s typically lighter fare, like, “have you eaten” if it’s near a meal time, or just a simple hello.
Came to write this, here when we ask how you are, we’re mentally prepared to hear a tirade.
