These Crazy Questions

I've written about this before, so this isn't the first time this has happened. I seem to be a magnet for the most bizarre questions on surveys, questions that leave me scratching my head in wonderment.
Tonight, as I was relaxing on the couch watching March Madness basketball games, I was taking surveys on Swagbucks when it happened again.
"Have you ever been in an accident that resulted in your death?"
Seriously, what kind of question is that? For the fun of it, I decided to answer yes. I figured that would immediately disqualify me from the survey. But, much to my surprise, I was able to finish out the survey.
So, apparently, even though I was "dead" as a result of an accident, I was still able to complete the survey. It left me sitting there shaking my head in disbelief!
Anyone else have anything bizarre or crazy happen to them this week?

I've seen that question. My guess is it's one of those medical back to life through the electrical paddles thing, so I've always answered it no. Interesting that a positive answer would bring about a finished survey. Good for you.

I figured it was a trick question, but apparently not.

@moffittjc The first time I saw it I thought so too, and then I started thinking about that question.

Yes, the place where I have my car serviced wanted me to pay almost $200 for my free oil change and car service. I made him break down the costs item by item, and he once again, said the money paid for the free service. Sheesh. Needless to say, I had the oil change and inspection for free, and will do the other two things that should be done where the cost will be less than half what they wanted to charge.

Places like that love to rip people off, especially women, whom they think are completely helpless. I'm glad to see you stood your ground and didn't let them take you to the cleaners.

@moffittjc I have learned to speak up and ask questions. Most people are too tired. Since I'm not working anymore, that is unlikely.

This discussion just reminded me about something I was meant to tell you! A few weeks ago I was watching Jimmy Fallon with my boyfriend and Jimmy was talking about the odd Tax questions like the one you did a discussion about lol Made me laugh.

Speaking of surveys, I hate when they want me to put an emotion on an inanimate object. I quit doing surveys just because of questions like that. So stupid.

Yes, isn't that the stupidest thing when they ask you to put an emotion on an inanimate object? What is the point of that?

I have seen that question a time or two. Makes you shake your head in disbelief that you are reading it.
Let me think about crazy things that happened this week. Ummmm....well I had a tooth pulled and was given anesthesia because I am a nutball when I get a tooth pulled. The doctor wrote me a not excusing me from work for 3 days to recover.
I took the note into work and presented it to the scheduler, told her I would play it by ear. If I felt I could cope with working I would be in, if not I would call in. She snapped and said she was just going to schedule me out rather than try to find someone to fill in my work load. Really? Guess she can decide for me if I can or cannot work.

Hope the pain is not too bad for you with the pulled tooth. I would be just like you, I would have to get anesthesia or else I would be crying and screaming like a big baby!

They may think ghosts have access to the internet lol. No I don't take surveys because when I tried to do that to like earn some cash they always say I'm not eligible so I gave up with it.

I was on a roll for the longest time where I seemed to be qualifying for every possible survey imaginable, but unfortunately I seem to be having a string of bad luck this week, as I can't seem to qualify for any surveys. It's funny how it comes and goes in waves for me like that.
