Have you ever wondered how some people just ask some unnecessary rhetorical questions…I know sometimes we could want to ascertain the sincerity behind what we are listening to, or what the person we are talking to is saying which is certainly normal for everybody but quit the unnecessary questions.
Questions like… Is this you? You are seeing an old friend in a while and then you ask, Is this you?
Really? Who else? You could say something like.
Wow, it’s been a while, you are looking all grown but not ”is this you?” hmmmm….
Some people even find it interesting to question what they can see clearly, For instance, You could clearly see someone eating and then you ask, Are you eating? Really?
Please, is that a question?These things have become the norm in the society. Can we just have plain, clear and intelligent discussions without asking some unnecessary rhetorical questions. Because, Really, I am so tired of such questions.
Kindly write some of your experience{s}below

That was how I Wore a gown to a place, and someone asked, Na gown you wear?. I was pissed and being the crazy me, I said No o, Na skirt I wear.
I laughed all through. This is hilarious and so real. Though it really can be annoying. You know, someone called me around 10pm, as i picked the call, he was like, so you aren’t asleep?
I mean, if i was asleep would I have picked the call?
I’m guilty of this too
I think it has become a reflex thing for a lot of people. I will consciously make sure that I don’t ask these questions anymore
Really, this is an eye opener.
Seriously its very annoying. That was how my friend saw me washing clothes, instead of saying Weldon she asked me if i was washing clothes? Then I replied no I am pounding yam. Sometimes a stupid question demands a useless answer.
