 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
Q: "Do you dress like this on purpose?" A: "Do you dress like you do on purpose?" Doesn't it bother you that you look like a girl? Girls don't bother me, so no. [Of course, it bothers me when I correct people who call me "ma'am" and they don't believe me, but that's happening less with age.] How are you going to feel about those tattoos and piercings when you're, like, eighty or so? If I have any sense, I'll feel as fab as Isobel Varley.

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
I once replied to someone who asked me if I was a satanist, "No, he never returned my texts. I guess he's just not that into me."

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
One of best questions I ever got was: "You wear pentagram because you want to tell the world that if you were not an atheist you'd rather be the Satanist than Christian"? 100% REAL question  I guess this person was slightly disappointed when I told her that pentagram I wear was a self-taken gift from my bf (ok, I just took it and never gave back....) Questions about cutting myself are common (showing my perfectly fine arms helps) and one I actually like - when people ask me if I eat cats

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
"Do you worship satan or somthing?"
Answers: "Yes and i just told him to curse you" "Are you?" "Aope i just got back from the matrix"
Another great question "why do you paint your finger nails?"
Answer "because I can't reach my tows"

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
I feel bad now, I haven't gotten any stupid questions.
"Wow, you're dressed so nice, are you going to a party?" "No, I just dress like this."
That's the most I've ever gotten.

That's the most I've ever gotten. Don't feel bad I don't get any either. I also get compliments, or stares from little kids, which I understand. The thing most people just ask me is if my tattoos or piercings hurt. I tell 'em "No, but this one sure did." then I hold out my baby. Having a sense of humor towards these things has always seemed to work for me.

"You just look like you are going to a funeral!" "Why, have you heard about a good one today?"
That was an answer that I've given to my uncle XD

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
I've been asked for high fives which I always turn down to which they get offended. Often times people will ask me why I dress the way I do, then I'll have to explain how I enjoy it and blah blah. People will ask me if I'm part of a band.

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
The most annoying is easily the "arent you hot?" question. I can't stand that one and I'm sure most people are too ignorant to understand that black is actually cooler, you don't see animals in the desert with white coats now do you. The main factor in staying cool is wind speed and how lose fitting your clothes are. White reflects heat back at your skin. Someone please make them understand!

 Re: How Goths Answer Stupid Questions
Generally if people tell me I must be hot in my clothes, I just reply "no, you would be hot in these clothes. I am fine. " It's just easier than bothering with snark when talking to cretins, whom most of the people who ask me are.
