What's the most important question to know someone better? (r/AskReddit)

a slash asked ridet what's the most important question to ask someone when you want to get to know them better my boyfriend is an assistant manager at a bookstore so when he is giving interviews for jobs instead of asking someone what their favorite book is he asks them what book did they hate first of all no one ever expects that question everyone is used being asked their favorites so you get a more genuine answer instead of a scripted one also I think you can tell a lot from a person from what they dislike I had an interview some time ago where they asked me what my least favorite animal was I was really stumped on that I've never thought about my least favorite animal edit for those that are curious I ended up picking mosquitos because they don't really serve a greater purpose to the ecosystem the world is literally better off without them but I was dumbfounded and had to stall for a minute while I thought about it when I was still dating my husband I asked him if you could see one measurement or statistic over everyone's heads what would you want it to indicate and his answer was how happy they are I feel like that told me a lot about the kind of person he is the kind of person that plays Sims the key to happiness is playing darts for 16 hours straight I asked my bf this and he replied how attracted they are to me that would be fun for a day but not a lifetime answer also would get depressing as you aged her not to mention really awkward at family reunions that's really sweet and considerate I hope you guys are very happy together I wonder said duck-sized until you see four inches above a girl's head if you had the money to quit working what would you spend tomorrow doing my therapist asked me this but I couldn't give an answer because I know the answer would be masturbating and checking on reddit for 16 hours straight nothing I would do nothing you don't need a million dollars to do nothing man take a look at my cousin he's broke and he don't do shut if you could ask the universe one question and get the absolute truth what would you want to know what is the most important thing that should I know that I'm able to comprehend yet do not know right now your girlfriend's cheating on you I don't have a girlfriend not anymore because she cheated have you or a loved one been diagnosed with mesothelioma huh why would you ask that because if so you may be entitled to financial compensation can I see your browsing history not before buying me dinner first you have to sign this MDA to ask them about their relationships with others in their lives in general if they say that everyone in their life is toxic and full of so much drama then there is a good chance that they may come with some drama or they're a drama queen magnet yet had a friend who never looked for or caused drama she just wanted to live her life but just by being around a new group her presence would cause drama she joined a group of friends I'd made from an MLM group not a part of it anymore and she got on well with one of the guys there very well as it turns out well the other women and the group didn't like that hue drama and lots of arguments about tons of things people left the group and my two friends are now engaged some people just attract drama without causing or wanting it it's like a shitty magical ability if you were to die tomorrow what would you regret not having told someone nothing because I'd be dead this guy dies if you could take five non-replaceable personal artifacts on an intergalactic voyage what would you take only need my towel my hometown was small but I enjoyed growing up there how about you asking where they grew up and their experiences usually opens the daughter wider more interesting conversation oh I didn't grow up there my best friend and I shared a flat for two years in college the weather looked vaguely treacherous one day and he was by the door so I asked him what's it like outside so he went out and looked around for a few seconds then came back and said big yeah thank that's true I guess what's the most important question to ask someone when you want to get to know them better do you pee in the shower there's two types of people people who pee in the shower and Liars there is a third group that lies down pees up and pretends they are the Bellagio fountain I feel like this is too specific to be made up what character do you use in Mario Kart well Luigi for I'm gonna W III and spam what's your mother's maiden name what street did you grow up on what's the name of your first pet put two of them together to make the best stripper name if you found a suitcase with the amount of money as your SSN how much money would you have you have the gay not anymore they escaped out the window how do you spend your time I love this question because what do you do is so work centric and many people don't work whether their choice or not another variation on this that I heard recently was what have you been into lately it's hard to just talk about yourself in general terms but everyone has been occupied with something recently use Ford family occupation recreation dreams because people like talking about that never rate them religion abortion politics economy actually I think that rape is better for knowing what kind of person you're talking to the former is better for people you don't care a lot about yet are / no context I asked about their dream vacation what are you passionate about I'm passionate about whisky and distilling but also about pushing others to find their passion I'm passionate about spending all my free time on reddit would you rather have invisibility or flight depends on the flame if one couldn't fly any faster than walking pace I'd take invisibility what's the energy requirement for me to fly like is it comparable to sprinting or walking do I have to flap my arms or is it more of a Superman deal you take flight you become a government prisoner so quickly how many walkers have you killed how many seasons and did you get before you finally gave up on the show how many people have you killed would you rather have a stinky finger or an itchy ass pulls out paper napkins neither baby please now we should remain civilized pulls out wet wipes I like hitting people with the hard questions you are going to a dinner with five people they can be dead alive or fiction who are they and why did you pick them they can be dead seems like it would be a quiet dinner can I suck your duck I don't know can you my bad mr. teacher may I suck your duck whenever my mom went out on a date with someone her first question would be well are you stupid the idiots would rage out on her the smart people would be like hmm I dunno no I'm Dave right Twix left Twix milk first cereal first pineapples on pizza who in the unholy fuck pours milk first milk cereal then Bowl what made you who you are today it's a surprising question that catches the person off-guard and allows for a sincere answer I've never been disappointed by this question and have been rewarded with amazing stories about my new people once I read over there are ice breaking question if you have to choose between a well-paid work in Europe or going to Mars what would you choose it seems a pretty stupid question but if you focus in what questions are people asked back usually tells a lot of things what they choose is not so important but usually the people will start asking questions like but how dangerous is to go to Mars can I come back can I have children and a family in Mars can I take my dog with me for how long is the work how much I will be making how many hours days I have to work it's a good work what I have to do and that questions tells a lot about a fair focused on family on work if they are adventurous if they already have a life plan established and a lot of things just try to read between the lines will I suffocate as soon as I get to Mars no no you'll be alive Europe it is
