Nobody cares if you asked or not. People will tell you things regardless of you fucking asked or not. Did you ask the government to make you pay taxes? No, but you have to pay them anyway. These people think they’re so smart when they say it too. If you don’t want to hear what someone says, don’t listen.
They love to use it as some catch-all response to everything, because they think it makes them cool. It doesn’t.
People who say this all the time are the most boring and unexciting people to be around. They can’t even come up with a creative response to what people have to say.
