When people tell you to “guess”

I hate when people ask me to guess and then tell me my guess is wrong. They should at least pretend what I guessed is true, but maybe my guesses are too elaborate.

Guess what, OP.

OP learn to say these words, " I wouldn't have a clue, tell me" if they say, no guess, repeat " I wouldn't have a clue, tell me"

Well, sometimes it's asked rhetorically, OP, with the answer directly following as in:

"Guess who I saw today, Semolina Beaterbars!"

Guess you're a pissy twat, OP.

Mom: "Guess who called me today!"

Me: "Leonard Bernstein."

Mom: "What? Why would you ever think that he would call me?"

Mom never did understand sarcasm.

Try giving a ridiculous answer. If asked “guess who I ran into today?”, reply JFK junior. Or Rose Nyland. Or Dame Nellie Melba. Or Amelia Earhart.

No need to be so literal, OP: It's just a conventional topic-opener expression. The correct response to, "Guess who I ran into today!" is, "Who?". (Alternatively, the correct response is a harsh "[italic]Whom![/italic].) The correct response to, "Guess what my sister told me!" is, "What?".

Nobody has to guess that OP is on the spectrum.

The perfect answer is : "I'm not going to guess because I really don't care."

That shuts them up all the time.

You sound fun, R10

If you have any friends or acquaintances who ask these kind of questions, banish them.

Problem solved.

What if it's your mom?

Guess how little I care.

OP, learn what a rhetorical question is. Also look up "ice breaker."

When people ask me how am I doing, I speak at length about any recent medical history. If they don’t want to hear, they shouldn’t have asked.

I have two neighbors who are brothers. One brother loves to throw this in when they squabble,

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“Fuck you.”

Gets me every time.

Are those two brothers in middle school ? Sounds like it.

Guess what?

Chicken butt.

Guess why?

Chicken thigh.

Guess who?

Chicken poo.

I don't.

Catherine Tate has a character who loves asking her colleagues to guess things.

"Come on! Guess how much weight I've lost?"

I love 20 questions so I'm a guess what person. The people who won't even play along a little bit are usually bores.

Some of you people seem to have Zero Tolerance! for the littlest things.

If somebody tries the guessing game once, where’s the harm? If they do it too often, just insult them.

“Guess what I did this morning!”

“…. finally joined a gym?”

I always give a stupid answer to "guess what?" questions. It's fun being an asshole sometimes.

I love the enthusiasm and positive energy of asking “guess what?”

My mom (who I loved) used to make me crazy asking me to guess something. "Guess who called today." "I don't know." "Guess." "I don't feel like it." "Just guess." "I can't." "Oh, come on." "Aunt Mary." "No." "Uncle John." "You're way off."

I used to indulge her because she was excited and it was just her way. What can you do?
