(Read Details) What do you call it when someone says, or much rather, thinks like this...?

Question

My parents are always asking (for lack of a better word) "Impossible" questions.

What is it when a person asks something like:
"If you didn't have any paper, why didn't you check yesterday?"

At this point, i don't see why i would CHECK for paper if i didn't know that i NEEDED paper at that moment.
As you can see, this is very situational, but what I'm trying to ask for is that "word" that is used to describe people who talk like that (I.E. my parents)

Everyone's answers make me smile, especially you parents :))

thanks

for one thing, im armed for the next argument

also, its half way through the school year and i should have been keeping an eye on that

*PROBLEM SOLVED*

Answer 1

My kids were great at that trick. 9:30 PM on Wednesday telling me they are out of paper and need it for the next day.

"So, why didn't you tell me that yesterday?"
"I wasn't out of paper yesterday."
"But you knew you were getting low, didn't you?"
"I don't know..."

After a few times of my telling them they could walk to the store to get some they learned to say something a day or two in advance if they needed paper. I think that's what your parents are trying to teach you.

Answer 2

Well, it's up to you to know whether or not you have enough paper before the last minute. You are responsible for knowing if you have enough of everything you need--unless you want your parents to go through all of your things and check for themselves.

Don't you count on the parents to make sure that you don't run out of food, toilet paper, etc., that the household needs?

Answer 3

Maybe the word you're looking for is "rhetorical"...since the questions that your parents are asking don't really have a good/logical answer. They're actually more like statements designed to either express frustration and/or attempt to get you to change your behavior in the future.

Answer 4

Do you mean to say that they are phrasing things in a manner that makes it impossible for you to give a correct answer?
Is this a question about their "behavior pattern" or their manner of speech? More details please........................... :)

Answer 5

they talk like menonites- there verbs and nouns are backwords

Answer 6

aggravating

Answer 7

annoying.............and common (my parents tend to do that too)
