How do u feel when a person constantly and continuously ask you question after question and the questions are in my opinion ridiculous. Over rambaucious, irritating, annoying and tedious. It's to the point where I don't even respond to the person who's asking these nonsensical questions. It feels like twenty-one questions over and over again. I mean "everything" becomes a questions. Good grief it's worst than a child asking so many questions. I can understand a curious child with all the questions but an adult person! Give me a break! What is wrong with the person that perpetually ask a ton of questions everytime you come into contact with them? It makes me want to bury my ears and head in the sand like an ochestrich. Silence please.

I guess some people have the tolerance of a tazmainian devil and certainly doesn't know how to turn off the channel, so to speak. Of course some would say that by asking questions, this is how you find things out. As for me, if it bothered me so much, I would avoid and if that didn't work then be honest, in the face, but nice, so to speak.

So far, I didn't encounter any thing like that with the people I know. But I did have a daughter who kept asking me about a millionth questions a day. But our little ones are just like that. They wanted to know everything.

You shouldn't deny knowledge to your children!

I have a nephew like that and I have to tell him to be quiet. He's highly intelligent though. A very wise young man. I have to give him that. I am proud of him.

There is nothing wrong with questions. That is how we learn things. Do not ignore your questions, as they will still come no matter how much you try to stop them. Writing them down and burning them will not make them go away; it will just make your house smell like smoke. If you have the questions, seek the answers. What your family, friends, etc. are trying to tell you is that you need to slow down (or stop) asking THEM your questions, not stop having the need for answers. What you may wish to consider is who you are asking the answers from, and then find new avenues to persue, so you are not "overwhelming" the ones who have been patient with you so far. Do not stop seeking knowledge; just find other avenues to obtain it.

I know some people like that. They want to ask a lot of questions. So I've learned to ignore them and they get the message. I even had a woman ask me how did I learn to type. I wanted to say dah, I learned in school. But I just ignored her. And then I told her to go to the internet or your neighborhood library.

Redundant questions. They already know the answer before they ask the question.

i do not feel anyhow. I also ask question when i am curious or when i like to find out if the persons telling the truth or not. You can't blame them but i don't get people annoyed by asking persistent questions, when it becomes persistent then that is nagging

I would find it very annoying as well if someone asked me question after question and if they were silly or questions that did not make sense or were important. If the questions are important, like in school, I do not have a problem with that as they are trying to learn things. I think the person that asks silly questions is trying to get on our nerves and enjoys getting people upset. They like getting attention.

I hate too many questions! Especially if they are just stupid or obvious ones I get really annoyed. I like my privacy as well. There's a guy I work with who talks all the time, and if I say I went to a BBQ at the weekend or something, he'll ask who with etc but he doesn't even know any of my other friends so I don't really see the point of saying oh it as at Bob's house or whatever. On the other side, he's always telling me stories about people he went to school with, and I really dont care lol

If someone asks too many questions and starts to make me uncomfortable, I usually laugh and say, "Who are you, The Riddler?" Sorry, but most of the time their questions are too personal and none of their business. If I'm feeling particularly PC, I'll swing the Q & A over to them and refocus the conversation.

Some people are very curious to know about all things that happens around them. mostly kids are those who usually get me mad with all those question, they ask more questions than my parents thats what irritates me the most. I do try maximum to stay away from those kids, because it really get me annoyed n feel like to smash them.

I guess it depends on the situation. example: I am buying a puppy that is located 900 miles away. I think of a couple questions, and I will send 1-2 emails a week wanting to know the answers. Might I also mention that this puppy won't be able to come home with me until next week, so it's only natural I email every once in a while to check up on her. As far as in person, I don't associate much with people, so I don't have the problem with people asking me 100s of questions.

i know what you mean and i have been there before. if a person just keeps on asking questions i feel like smacking them in the face. the best way to shut them is to start doing the same thing to them and see how they like it. but you have to ask stupid obvious questions so they can get a feel of what they are doing to you.

If the questions are of any relevance to me I'd gladly jump right in and discuss it with them but if it's just something like gossip I'm better off doing something else. I never get irritated if someone asks me something. It's the quality of the questions that makes me want to respond.

That's it! Asking quality questions will capture my attention and hold my interest in any conversation. Not a bunch of inferior or junk questions.

i totally hate it when that happens. i find that guys tend to do it more than girls and for me it is very annoying. if someone questions me too much, i feel that i have done something wrong or that no matter what i do it's not good enough
