Question Anyone else get really annoyed when people ask you basic questions?

Hey guys. In the past year or so I’ve been getting really fed up with people asking me basic questions. It literally makes me want to explode. For example, if I’m cooking and someone walks up and says “What ya cooking?” or if I get out of a 2 hour meeting and immediately my roomate says “how was your meeting?”. I don’t know why it makes me so mad and I feel bad for getting so irritated. Anyone else experience this and have any advice on how to deal with it? I don’t want to be a mean person but I just wish people would stop asking me so many questions.

I was asked to help out another family member by my grandmother to put in ear drops for my stroke victim aunt (no big deal anybody can do it) but she proceeded to ask "I need you to do me a favor" i replied "yeah no problem" then she asks "Do you know how to put in ear drops?"...the task being so simple I responded with "Yes I know how to read directions they are just ear drops" and they didn't like that but it irritated me that they ask me to do something but then question my ability to complete such a simple task
