Weirdest question you've been asked this year at an event

[Snaps[TK]]

What's the weirdest question you've been asked this year at an event. Mine has been "Are you excited for the new movies?"  

[Dark PWF[Staff]]

On Friday night, in the lobby prior to the Weird Al concert, I was asked (THREE TIMES) "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"

[PiettLives[TK]]

WOW!!! That's weird! I've never heard that question before.   *cough cough*

[Brandon]

I was once at a party and this guy trying to be cool in front of the ladies  asked me " Are you a girl? You know that all the stormtroopers were actually played by women in the movies because men couldn't fit in the costumes".     I know he had already seen me without a helmet. I didn't bother correcting him.... Im a 175lb avid weightlifter/personal trainer.  Why do people have to be jerks?

[TKedt[TK]]

Are u chewbacca?

[retrofire]

I was trying on my TB flightsuit to check the fit and my wife looked over and said "isn't that hot?". The best response was one I found here on WhiteArmor and it was "Why yes.......yes it is".

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

It isn't the weirdest question but one of my favorites:

 

Fan: How do you go to the bathroom in that thing?

Me: I'm going right now <Sssssh-click>

"Weirdest" question I've been asked, "Have you ever had sex while wearing that?"

"Aren't you a little fat to be a Stormtrooper?"

 

And my answer since I read it here: Aren't you a little ugly to be a wookie?

Weirdest question I expect to be asked as of 18 Dec (if not before): "OMG!! Aren't you John Boyega?!?"

Why yes, I am. Because despite the 20+ year age difference and the fact I'm about 4 inches taller, we indeed all look alike - both in and out of costume.

[Dark PWF[Staff]]

WOW!!! That's weird! I've never heard that question before.   *cough cough*

 

Well, I'm only like... 6'4" in my armor so it definitely caught me off guard.

 

Oh yes... This is something that we've discussed having on hand at troops moving forward. I think we should have it strapped onto a handler's back or somehow hidden from public view, and just allow it to miraculously appear when the question is asked.

 

At one convention, while waiting (in armor, of course) for a celebrity meet and greet with Luciana, she was asked if I wear that armor,"you know... everywhere?"

[Snaps[TK]]

It helps we wear helmets so they don't see the dirty look on our face!

[Snaps[TK]]

 

 

 

Brilliant idea!!!!

You didn't answer the question.........

 

 

I always get "These are not the droids you're looking for"

Anyone got a good response for that? Besides playing along

....I mean... who hasn't?! Or just me? Probably just me. Aaaaaaaaaand now it's awkward.

 

Hey look over there! Droids! *Runs away in an awkward and not-so-subtle-or-quiet manner*

If they have an iPhone, I like to say "No, I guess not, but I believe you have the Apple I've been looking for."

I also am prone to telling people (when they are taking selfies or phone pictures with an Android phone) that their phone is the droid I've been looking for.

As I was walking in our Fourth Of July Parade in my Tusken, I overheard a man tell his son, "That one is a Jawa!".  Now, I don't expect everyone to know the name 'Tusken', but 'Sandperson' is perfectly acceptable.  (BTW, we had no Jawas on that troop)

 

Can't wait to finish my TK to see what questions I get in it!

At Weird Al I was asked if i was wearing lifts... (I'm a taller trooper 

[Jane]

Very drunk woman at an event (not a 501st one I add)

 

"Is that a blaster in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

 

"doubtful, I'm a girl"

 

She was a bit slack jawed as I sniggered in my lid.

[MechaPumpkin[TK]]

I get asked why I'm so serious a lot.

 

Also, good answer to "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" is (if they're a guy), "Aren't you a little hairy to be a princess?"

[ShavedWookie[501st]]

I had a young girl come up to me and ask "Are you my dad?"

 

To be fair, her dad is also a TK, but 6" shorter than me

[Barcoder[TK]]

i haven't actually been asked strange questions during an event......until today. A little boy came up to me as soon as I finished getting into my armour & asked "do you have a dog?" A very odd thing to ask a faceless man covered in white plastic.

It wasn't directed at me (I was just a handler, my first build is in progress), but at a recent zoo event, a little girl asked our Sandtrooper "Who would win- Darth Vader or a tiger?" while we were standing by the tiger enclosure.  Too bad our Vader was about five yards away, I would have liked to have heard his answer!

[aliens8us]

I was at a 'social class' kind of shopping center at a book signing and a mother asked me if I was the White Ranger (from Power Rangers). Perhaps being a Heavy Weapons Trooper with a DLT-19 is a dead giveaway

[Chills[TK]]

I almost always get the "these aren't the droids you're looking for" line, and I play along. People just love it.

 

I hardly get the "aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper" line. Which I find odd (but not complaining!). I'm 5'8" and every other TK I troop with is close to 6'. 

 

The oddest question I got asked was by a woman when I was leaving the Chicago Wizard World con. She walked up (with her friends) and asked if she can smack my @ss. Before I could answer she gives me a solid thump and says thanks.
