Do not ever be rude or condescending to someone who asks "obvious" questions, no matter how obvious or silly you think the question is.

For one, in some cultures asking an obvious question is just a polite way of acknowledging the situation. So for example, if you just put your jacket on and start clocking out, a co-worker asking "oh, you done for the day and heading out now?" doesn't deserve you sneering at them like an idiot, scoffing, and saying "uh duh, just like I do every day at this time" when it's likely they knew the answer, but were just asking as a polite way of acknowledging the situation.

But even if they were genuinely unsure that you're leaving even though it seems obvious to you from context clues, so what? What does being rude and condescending to them achieve? Maybe they couldn't sleep last night so they're really out of it today, maybe they're dissociating, maybe they're about to pass out from low blood sugar, maybe some other employees sometimes put on their jacket and only clock out briefly but come back.

There's all sorts of reasons they could be confused about whether or not you're leaving, but intentionally making them feel bad achieves nothing except, well, making them feel bad. Either way, they're not hurting you or anyone by asking a "stupid" question, so there's no point in being rude about it. If you still want to make them feel bad about themselves for looking "stupid" when they weren't hurting anyone, that is the mindset of bullies and abusers.

Thank you everyone who is pointing out in the notes that this is usually an attempt to connect with someone and/or strike up a conversation. Because honestly in my experience 9 times out of 10 when someone asks an "obvious" question that's what they're trying to do. If someone walks into the kitchen and asks "oh are you cooking?" while you're standing over the stove holding a spatula, they probably already know the answer, but they're just trying to start a conversation with you and connect to you.

All the more reason it's sad and hurtful when these attempts are met with sneering and being treated like an idiot.

[sarcasticmothwrites]

There are no stupid questions, only assholes providing snarky non-answers. Because aside from the bid for connection or genuine confusion, sometimes there are REASONS why you might get an obvious question.

“Oh, are you cooking?” asks person who thought you were going out tonight.

“Are you leaving?” asks time-blind person who’s surprised it’s 5:00.

“Are you going to lunch?” asks person who remembers there’s a meeting in 30 minutes.

This is where I make my occasional reminder that Emily Post said the reason for manners is to make others comfortable and foster kind, thoughtful human interactions.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

au where its already the future and while flying through new york Scott sees some big guys bullying and kicking someone already laying on the ground and covering in fear and for some reason he wants to intervene

proving Legs he can be better and all that

he scares the bullies away and he helps the guy up

but they look a bit too much like Pyro

[be-jargogled]

When Scott asks his name, just to make sure that he is not back, he gets an answer.

The young man, the barely not a boy anymore, calls himself Jack.

He smiles at Scott like a rabbit trying to convince a wolf that it was dead.

Something in his eyes demanding not to be hurt.

Just like Pyro's, all those years ago at the lake.

Scott brushes it off. It was one guy, there were so many people in the city, Scott won't ever see him again. He did good Legs, isn't that enough?

And then Scott starts seeing him everywhere.

Jack has a habit of being bullied, it seems.

Scott does his best to help when he sees it, some part of him recognizing the look in Pyro's Jack's eyes.

He ends up talking to Jack more. Learning about their life, what they study, what they like.

And then Scott watches him wither.

Jack grows jumpy and distant. Flinching at shadows, he mumbles to himself and cries for minutes on end when Scott saves him again and again and again.

Scott does his best to get to know Jack, some part of him wanting to see it as redeeming himself for Pyro's everything.

Then Jack admits that he doesn't think he can take it anymore. That he's going to snap. He's going to kill someone.

Scott meets his eyes, and cannot force himself to see anyone other than Pyro.

He doesn't know what to do with that information. So when Pyro ends up on the news for murder, when Pyro is marked for death, Scott settles himself in the belief that it was proof that Pyro could never change. Not like he could.

A decade later he saves someone from being bullied.

He looks a lot like Pyro.

monsters do get happy endings<3

Thank you Vampires smp

i will never stop people from hating a minecraft white boy (especially one who drives a tesla) but i do think its funny when i see hermitcraft fans hate grian for "being clique-y" or "ignoring the smaller hermits" . like. you mean the guy who starts server wide games every season? the guy who uploaded a 7 hour world tour? frankly for being one of the most popular guys on the server i think he does try to pull his weight sharing the love. unfortunately theres only so much you can do to try and lure an average grian subscriber into watching joe hills. thats like taking a mcdonalds loving 7 year old to a niche concept restaraunt that only serves meals in the shape of 1:1 scale models. actually this metaphor sucks if i was 7 i would love to eat an edible 1:1 scale pinball machine. i would love that now. post cancelled im organising a joe hills themed pop up café. everyone come with me. see my vision.

[shishroom]

I killed him

This scene still stuck in my head..
