No no no, this string is in the general category. It doesn't HAVE to be pipe related, and I enjoyed your reply. Let me guess, I bet you hate being asked "why did you start this same thread again?"

If I was asked that I would respond with 'Sure. Remember all sales are final!'
I don't mind the question it's which of the voices wants to answer that is the challenge.

I dislike questions which start, "Should I", be it a question regarding a moral decision or as mundane as, "Should I buy a ...?"
When will the rhetorical questions end?
Warren I was looking at this pipe to buy. Should I, huh, should I. What do you think it is worth the asking price? Will I have instant cred on the site if I get it? Will I be a playa or a dumbass?
Harris,
I truly admire and rejoice in the chaste refinement you bring to this otherwise tawdry cesspool of a forum.
Oh c'mon. Sure there are stupid questions, thousands of them. They make for hilarious conversation at Zoom meetings.
I work security at many fancy parties here in Aspen. Stupid questions are the norm. Successful/famous people like to have people around who make them feel smart. It is amazing how many pretty people are super dumb. I just stare at them, they get nervous and move on.
Whether I hate a question or not depends on context.
If I'm trying to remain focused on some intricate task at hand and someone tries to get my attention I'll hate the interruption, the question, and the person, in equal measure, at least at that moment.
For the most part I don't care about questions.
One of my faves is when someone walks up to me while I'm doing a sketch or painting outdoors and says, "Did you do that?"
I get that it's meant to be a conversation opener, but unless uttered by a child of less than 10, it indicates to me that your IQ is less that that of a deceased decapitated rabbit.
I've got the pencil in hand, the pad in my lap. Who else is likely responsible for the atrocity on the page? Perhaps interdimensional beings from the gamma quadrant have drawn it and placed it on the pad mere nanoseconds before you slithered up?

Yeah, but a lot of those famous and successful people would be hard pressed to find people dumber than they are. They have a talent, but that doesn't always translate to an intellect.
Does this pipe make me look fat?
Does it go with my shoes?
Which end do I put the tobacco in?

At art shows, I do hear a lot of similarly dumb questions, like when they pick up a bracelet I've made and ask me which parts I did. I always have to stop and check myself, because I don't like to insult potential customers too fast, ha ha. There's always time for that after they've paid.
"license and Registration please?" followed by "How fast will this car go?" WHAT?????? ?
