Or, they just want to prove you’re different from normal.

It’s annoying when you ask for someone’s help and instead of providing support, they keep asking ‘why’ questions on repeat.

You’ve to do something on time, but they make it even harder for you. 

3. “To be honest, I don’t know. But when I know, I’ll first inform you.” 

When you don’t want to answer ‘why’ from someone, saying ‘I don’t know’ will save you.

7. “Please don’t ask why. Accept it, because I said it.”

This one is not the perfect answer to every case.

Saying ‘Because I said so‘ sounds a bit proudy.

So be careful with that.

The amount of ‘why’ you get from this person, now starts to frustrate you. 

You don’t want to hear any such question from them. 

So you must give this ultimate response to their ‘why’ question for the final time.
