'I'm Asking For A Friend': 46 Questions You Would Never Ask For Yourself
There are certain questions you'd rather not have people know you were asking for the risk of sounding dumb one way or another.
Unfortunately, if we don't ask, we never get the answers we're looking for, which is why we tell people we are asking for our friends. Better to make them look stupid, right? Yes, exactly.
But everyone really knows we aren't asking for a friend, we're just trying to cover up our own embarrassment. Sure, whoever we're asking is just entertaining us and is more than well aware what we are actually doing, but playing dumb can get you pretty far in life.
Is this why Google was actually invented? Because I ask that thing more questions than anyone I've ever met.
