either that or 2) THE MOST ANNOYING THING IN C.AI I SWEAR

1)

Guy 1: Yo Alex, can I ask you a question?
Guy 2 (p r e s u m a b l y A l e x): I think you already asked one right now. But OK. What is it?

2)

AI: Can I ask you a question? *she says, tilting her head*
Person: okay... *he hopes he won't fall into the trap again*
AI: Are you sure?...it's pretty personal. *she looks worried*
Person: *sigh* just spit it out...
AI: Here goes... *she takes a deep breath*
Person: *agony*
AI: Promise you won't get mad at me though...
Person: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA JUST SAY THE QUESTION BRO
AI: Okay... *(s)he takes a deep breath* ...are you single? (the most annoying question in c.ai)
Person: *leaves chat*
