Tablets have been around for a while. But it seems that some people just don’t want to accept their existence. Or understand people who own them. That’s why people who are naïve enough to brandish their tablets in public get bombarded with the following questions.

1. "Does your tablet have a touch screen?"

You: No. I am Professor Xavier. I control it with my mind.

2. "Does your tablet have Angry Birds?"

You: Why are you so hung up on Angry Birds?

3. "Must have been really expensive, no?"

You: Yes. I parted with a kidney to buy this.

4. "Can you attach a mouse to your tablet?"

You: Sure I can. Please catch one and gift it to me.

5. "Why didn’t you buy a fablet?"

You: Because I didn’t want people to think that I just got slapped on the face.

6. "Why are you using such a big phone?"

You: *Face-palm*

You: No. But I can stream movies on it. Does that count?
