R&P:What do people normally say...?

Question

when you tell them your hobby is Yahoo! Answers or in Rock and Pop

Answer 1

I don't tell them.

My friends would disown me. Hahahaha

Answer 2

They say " What is Yahoo Answers"?

Answer 3

I don't have much friends, so at least here I can have fun and discover new bands... It's a very instructive place... Some people on here are very funny. But I guess they would say: NERD!

Answer 4

Something like, "Oh, cool"... then they change the subject, cuz not a lot of my friends know about Yahoo Answers.

Answer 5

get a life

Answer 6

this is my guilty pleasure. i keep it a secret! lol.

Answer 7

They look at me funny. Then I explain to them a bit more about what it is, and they say, "Get off the computer and get a life." One of my friends, I was telling her over e-mail about Y!A, and she didn't ever respond to that e-mail. I talk to her about my contacts, how funny and smart they are, and how most of them share a bit of my musical taste, and how I think they are so awesome, and she just eyes me nervously, then changes the topic. I have told my mom about it once or twice, and how relieved I was that I was finally meeting people with my musical tastes, she said, "Good for you," and seemed generally happy that I found you guys because I usually talk her ear off about the music I listen to. But sometimes at dinner I'll burst out, "Guess what! _______ on Yahoo! Answers suggested a band today, I checked them out and I really like them! Say, does Bob [her boyfriend] have any CD's by ____________?" That's when she rolls her eyes and probably thinks, "Thank God she found this place so she can talk to other people besides me about it."

Some of my friends thought that it was pretty cool that there was a place like this, but undoubtedly they would be in a different section than I. Some of my friends said, "You shouldn't make that your hobby, get off the computer" or "Get off the computer and get a life."

So the thing most people say when I tell them about Y!A is either that I'm a geek or I should get off the computer and get a life.

Answer 23

I have told no one...

I'm watching myself here. I mean, who would I tell? Almost nobody I know has musical taste that would pass by our regulars' standards.

Answer 24

Nothing. I don't call sitting on the computer a hobby.

Just a time passer.

Answer 26

They tell me to get a life. I tell them I have a life but I choose not to use it.

Answer 27

they'd say this place is for *losers* but HO HO HO are they wrong!

Answer 29

Usually their response is:

You need a life...

But they don't know how amazingly cool this place is :)

I'll talk to my friends occasionally about some of yall, and they think it's so creepy I have friendships and inside jokes with people I don't even know that I've met on the internet...

They just don't get it...
