Ok, so this is one of those quick posts that deals with one of my many pet peeves. This particular pet peeve is one that has bothered me for quite some time. I was reminded of it this past week thanks to a facebook status from my brother Jon.
Here was his situation: Jon was at work up in New Hampshire when someone stopped in looking for directions to a local ski mountain. Considering it was a ski mountain my brother has frequented (one I've been to myself) and that my brother lives in one of those towns where everyone knows where everything is and the quickest way to get there. Based on this knowledge my brother gave the gentleman directions without hesitation. Instead of simply saying thank you, the man responded by questioning the accuracy of my brother's directions. He said, "I thought the mountain was in the other direction..." My brother was just like, "If it makes you happy, go the way you think it is."
I mean, seriously?!?!?! I hate when people ask a question and then question its accuracy. If you're going to doubt the answer, why even ask the question? It's obnoxious.
Please eradicate this behavior from your repertoire if you find yourself doing it...thanks.

it's like if someone asked felicia if she was going to the football game. duh. she lives there. of course she'll be there.
Hmmm...that is an entirely different scenario, but I cannot deny that could prove as annoying. That's more like the "Here's Your Sign" bit.
