I am not bothered by stupid questions about bathrooms or if I work in a place; I think it is better to ask a stupid question than do a stupid action.

I asked someone if they knew where the bathrooms where in a warehouse and they gave me a snarky answer. I looked them dead in the eye and volunteered to piss on their warehouse floor in front of everyone. "No, No it's no trouble at all, I can whip it right out here in front of everyone and piss right here in the drain in the floor if it is a big problem for you to tell me where the legit bathrooms are."

The guy really wanted to tell me to go ahead but he was afraid he might have gotten fired if I had actually done it. :twisted:

No... its better to think about the question you are asking.
Instead of asking "Do you know where the restrooms are?", you could easily ask "Which way to the restrooms?" or something along those lines.

Communication is at least a two way street. If you understand what I am really asking, why penalize me for not being perfect? In the situation at the warehouse both of us were being ass-hats. He gave me a snarky answer and instead of ignoring it and asking a better question I insulted him back. In my opinion both of us were being stupid. Lately I have been trying to be a little more understanding though. Sometimes people are a little shy about asking for themselves where the bathrooms are. Hell, I managed to get into trouble while visiting a client company. Here is my exact question, "Can you tell me where the rest room is?" the woman answered, "Sure, I could." then ignored me. Technically she was right. I didn't really ask her to tell me where the bathrooms where, only if she had the ability to tell me where they where. Since I was the one to decide if her company would be included in the upcoming business deal we were working on, I decided right then and there they were all done. I don't work with assholes. So she managed to lose a sweet deal for her company because she decided to treat me like an ass rather than have a smidgen of understanding and respect.

I get that... and as a server I get paid by these people that im being rude to. Which is why I always answer with a smile... it comes across as a joke and not as me being rude or insulting. But I still walk away thinking... what a fucking stupid question.

I have had a large number of service jobs. So I understand people and I completely understand where you are coming from. I was doing tech support for a company and this lady calls up and asked why her internet connection wasn't working. I asked her what type of service she was using and she said , dial up. I asked if she had a separate phone line for her connection and she said no, she only had the one phone line. I politely asked her to hang the phone up and try to connect. She did so. She called back about a half hour later and asked why her internet connection worked but only if she wasn't using her phone. Hmmmmmm. :roll:
