World's most Dangerous Questions...

To carry on a subject from another area...

What do you thing is the world's most dangerous question? I suggested it was...

"Can you do me a favour?" Because answering yes could mean anything, possibly result in poverty, injury, or death.

Can you think of any other Dangerous questions people can ask? Questions that make you cringe, questions that could spell disaster no matter how you answer?

Not to spoil it, but I think another is when a woman like myself asks "Do I look fat?"

Wife asking husband "Does my bum look big in this?"

Father asking son: "Do you know about sex?"

If you say yes he'll ask how and if you say no he'll assume you're cluless.

Wife asking Husband "Does my hair look OK?"

I'm not sure about dangerous questions, but I have a few dangerous STATEMENTS:

1. Trust me!
2. I know what I'm doing.
3. Don't worry about it.
4. I've done this before.

This is bad enough, but if someone says:

Trust me, I know what I'm doing! Don't worry about it..I've done this before....

RUN! RUN LIKE HECK because something is about to BLOW UP!

" What are you thinking about? "

I remember my best (and 100% honest) answer one occasion was 'the design of infrasonic bass speakers'.

The reply to this was 'Oh'. It's surprising how much emphasis can be put into a mere monosyllable. Amongst other things, it conveyed that I was in the doghouse again !

I don't know about dangerous questions, but I once had a friend to whom you only had to say:
"I've never been there before", and you'd end up going!

We once drove 9 hours to get to Land's End in Cornwall because a mutual friend made the dreaded observation. On another occassion three of them ended up sleeping overnight in Paris airport with absolutely no money!

Mind you, these trips were an absolute hoot!

How about: "Why don't men wear heels anymore?"

Well, a very dangerous question to ask me would be "You wear heels, are you gay?" I'm a very laid back person IRL, and the last time I got into a fight was at school when I was 13. However, if someone said that to me I would have to restrain myself from flooring them. Not that I ever would, but I would think they were extremely ignorant, and I'd have nothing more to do with that person.

(Just an aside but a lot of the Questions seem to be about women fishing for compliments. Why do people fish for compliments? Look your best and if people like it they will tell you. If they tell you without asking then they're more likely to mean it)

We fish for compliments for one of two reasons. One, insecurity. Two, which I go in for, we need more attention than we may be getting at that moment.

Oh, a third - it's a test. A sneaky little test that makes men uncomfortable.
