    I used to get that question a lot when I was a kid. I always politely said “no thanks”.

    It turns out my face always said “Are you fucking stupid? I understand how to heat things” while I was trying to be a little polite. I found this out when I visited my parents recently and found out that, while I’m still trying to be polite, my face still tells my mom that I’m capable of deciding on the temperature of my food.

    My face says things that I don’t mean to say even when I’m trying not to be an ass.

      So they went to the trouble to point out what your reaction looks like, but they have not once in x decades reconsidered the strategy of asking you annoying questions.

      My face is the same. I remember someone trying to start an argument with me because my face apparently didn’t match what I had said. I was incredibly confused because no one had ever pointed it out to me before so he was telling me about my facial expression and I was disagreeing because I had no idea.

      when I’m trying not to be an ass

      You mean she’s still asking? It might not be you who needs to try not to be an ass.
