Silly Questions

"How do you feel?" ... such a damned silly question and usually wholly inappropriate.

There was a radio programme yesterday where a victim of the PO cock-up was taken back to Holloway to see her old cell etc. - the poor woman was in tears and guess what the presenter asked her ......... ? Give me strength!

Just on Saturday l heard a football presenter ask the guys who comment..what does this team need to do to win this tihis time aid? He said they need to score goals! Wow l bet they never thought of trying that!!

Football commentators, after losing a match, discussing at length what went wrong and the answer was that they needed to score more goals. You don’t say! ??

Where did you put it? when I can't find anything.
What did you do that for? when I have dropped something/hurt myself.

“Oh, just come back from your holiday? Did you go anywhere nice” As if you would go somewhere horrible.

I'm more irritated by the silly and dangerous position weather reporters are put in just to prove how windy or snowy the weather actually is. Quite disgraceful for them and insulting to us who actually know what specific adverse weather conditions look like. Okay, they thrive on sensation but please give us weather from remote cameras?

I agree it drives you potty doesn't it but not as potty as sports commentators and their dozy questions 'So you won the Gold medal. How do you feel? Duh

And asking a bereaved person “How do you feel?”

“They” drive me mad, stating the flipping obvious.
Thanks OP for letting me get that off my chest!

It always makes us laugh when they ask their silly questions in the noisiest spot imaginable, with traffic thundering past or wind howling so that they have to shout.
