Hey folks,

Here's something that pissed me off: Banal questions. Shit like:

"What's your favourite colour?"

I don't know do you want a fucking hex code? What are you gonna do with that information anyway? Are we gonna bond over our love of the colour blue?
"I LOVE blue as well!"
"No way! I love blue SO MUCH that I got my dad to paint my room blue xD"
"OMG ME TOO :L"
"Wow!!! If I had a car, I'd make it blue too! ;)"
"I do have a car ...and it is blue!"
":OOOOOO"
Fuckin' bullshit half-assed waste of time question right there man.


Here's another one that annoys me:

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Well if I was gonna tell you that then I wouldn't have bothered to sneak in while you were asleep.




Am I the only one who gets unreasonably pissed of by these kind of questions?

I think questions like these are fine as ice breakers, since sometimes socialising is hard.

For ask me anything threads it's basically saying "throw generic questions at me to make me feel popular".

Also lol banal. That's a new one by me.

I thought it was about fruit-based penetration at first.





Not sure if that works but fuck it.



I think there's a disparity in the "ice breaker" questions though: The answer to "What is your favourite colour" or "Do you like mayonnaise?" doesn't actually tell you anything about a person, but asking what hobbies they have - for example - actually tells you something that people can connect with.

Oh I get it. "Banal" means you're sexually attracted to fruit and veg. We gotta accommodate for the 0.1% amirite.



There are better ice breakers but the generic "Hi how are you" has served me well. I don't really use questions as basic as favourite colour but I do use some in the same vein, I guess.
I mean they are pointless questions but they have some use. Favourite colour maybe once if you were making something for them but outside of that it's pretty useless, unless you actually judge people by colour preference.

Those are annoying, but if don't like those questions ask better ones to get the conversation in a direction you'd like/interests you; but also let's the other person get a chance to open up.
