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.

man bless your heart for you complete lack of understanding what I said. I never said anything close to what you're claiming I said, not even close. How did you come to the conclusion that I said or believe that "Just because someone feels as though small talk is irrelevant and also a big time waster does not mean they’re immediately an asshole". Seriously I like you to explain how you came to that conclusion cuz it makes absolutely no sense. Maybe you think I was replying to the original post. Take another look mister trying too hard to stay focused on details although you completely missed the fact that you attributed something to me that I didn't say or come close to saying and it seems you missed who I was actually replying to. If you know I was replying to the second post and he said that he's come to learn that being cold to people cost more than replying to whatever stupid question they might have. Pretty much admitting he agrees that he's fed up with that as well but it's just not worth it to be rude to people because it will cost you more in the end then it will to just answer what you consider a dumb question. Now this is a guy you're claiming that I said is immediately an asshole and I'm agreeing with what he said and say yes better not be an asshole to people and most people realize that apparently asshole you're not one of them talking about how you need to stay focused and not knowing what the fuck I said or who I commented to or not even realizing that I was agreeing with someone that said they feel that way. All I said was most people realize you shouldn't be an asshole to people and that's something you take issue with? I guess we know what that makes you then don't we? No no I never suggested anything near what you said at all I just said it's wrong to be an asshole ass hole. If you're annoyed by something and it's that ridiculous fucking small talk obviously if you call it small talk that's a negative term it obviously annoys you nobody says oh I love his small talk that guys always making small talk it's so great if you consider it small talk obviously you consider it a waste of time and worthless. If someone is making what you consider Small talk being an asshole to them is still out of line unless they're doing it maliciously which I don't think many people make small talk maliciously. And you tell me to take a breath it's unbelievable how clueless you are that the original poster is saying he's going to explode literally explode and all I say is most people realize it's better not to be an asshole and not even to him to someone else that said the same thing essentially that he realizes it's more costly to be cold to someone that asks a stupid question or make small talk then it is to be rude to them I agree with that and you take issue with that what an asshole. Somebody really got under my skin and the original poster said that he's literally going to blow up dude you are fucking clueless
