Snaps[TK] Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 What's the weirdest question you've been asked this year at an event. Mine has been "Are you excited for the new movies?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 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?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiettLives[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 WOW!!! That's weird! I've never heard that question before. *cough cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrofire Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 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> -Eric 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolo[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 "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? Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 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?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaps[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 It helps we wear helmets so they don't see the dirty look on our face! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaphod[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 "Weirdest" question I've been asked, "Have you ever had sex while wearing that?" 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaaaaaaaand now it's awkward. Hey look over there! Droids! *Runs away in an awkward and not-so-subtle-or-quiet manner* 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides playing along 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut65[Staff] Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) 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!

TKyle Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 At Weird Al I was asked if i was wearing lifts... (I'm a taller trooper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaPumpkin[TK] Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 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?" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShavedWookie[501st] Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barcoder[TK] Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) 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.

sharkbait[TK] Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliens8us Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills[TK] Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited October 6, 2015 by Chills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
