I don’t mind some of the other ones, but I the one I find most annoying is when people ask me how much I made.

I usually reply with something like “I don’t remember, but how much did you make last year after taxes?” 

Most people take the hint.

Co-workers to me after yearly Vegas trip...

Every f'n question has to be "Did you Win"?

Note to self-ask the same Q to those who pay $$ for hotel rooms/food in Disney World/NYC or wherever the f they go on vaca...But it would lead into more conversation I'd rather avoid..
