This thread was sparked by various posts in the "What's something small that really annoys you?" thread, a number of which would work well as rhetorical questions: "So many god damn flies in the house" or "This humidity in Auckland combined with the heat". So this thread is for short, pithy, and hopefully funny rhetorical questions.

 

 

Although these sorts of questions don't actually require, or even expect, an answer, it's probably OK to post an equally pithy short and snarky answer if you've got a particularly good one, but otherwise questions only.

 

 

Starter for the thread:

 

 

When is this -ing heat going to end?

Please phrase your question in the form of a question...

 

 

Why are people late when you're ready early but early when you're running late?

Why couldn't that rain shower have happened half an hour ago while I was still out running in 30+ degrees?

I suppose it would be asking too much for you to open your windows and doors to share it with the rest of us?

Why do we call a pair of shorts/pants?  Why plural?

 

I understand a pair of socks.
