I'll tack on a personal #10: When right after a bad accident and bleeding profusely. Somebody comes up to you and yells in your face "ARE YOU OKAY!!??"

The following of which is responded to by a string of speech that would never have been uttered under more pleasant circumstances.

I had to repost. It is totally true! Reminds me when I was a kid and I crashed a go kart hard....

I think No.3 is just misunderstanding the expression. It may be an archaism, but i guess in modern english it would be better said as " You want to both keep your cake (for later), and eat it (now) too" which is not a possible choice.

I got one for you: People who come in to a resteraunt after you, order the exact same thing as you, and get their meals before you do.

If the person who asks is trained in first aid/CPR, they will ask this question if they follow procedure. You see, if someone is unable to respond, then you have the right to administer first aid by what is known as "implied consent" when they do not respond to that question.

If the person does respond, you next ask, "Do you want help?" If they say no, then you do not have the right to administer aid against their will. If they say yes, you may offer help.

Obviously some (ok, many!) people are just stupid and ask this question. But first aid responders ask this for legal reasons.

I understand that medics need to ask a question like that to get a response, but the concept of asking an injured person if "they're okay" (and they obviously aren't) really rubs me the wrong way. When I ask people who are in need of medical assistance, I ask them where they're hurt, not if they're okay. That way I accomplish the same goals without sounding like an idiot.
