    My brain just doesn’t respond well to those type of questions anyway. Most brains don’t, which is why those ‘gotcha’ street interview videos are so common. Most of those people aren’t idiots, they’re just panicking.

    “Name 5 nations” “…uhhhhh, Antarctica, Canada, Texas, London, Taiwan”

    “Oof, two out of five, no money for you, just public shame.”

      My daughter taught me a good response for when people ask random questions that are intended to be passive aggressive, or just terrible comments from a nasty person in general. You just respond “YUR cool” and nothing else. It actually stops most people in their tracks because they don’t know how to respond.
