Silly questions to ask a pilot/instructor

Guys and girls,

I know you guys(including girls) are quite interested and curious to know about a pilot's life, pilot's working place, pilot's job,......

But certain things... please~~~~ I beg you all, please~~~~ Place some common sense in your mind before you asking a question. Most of the time, we, as a pilot will be the one facing difficulty in answering it.

Some, may continue to entertain your silly question.
Some, may be sarcastic in front of you.
Some, may be straight speak towards you(well, may hurt one's feeling if too straight forward//will embarrass one if in front many)
Some, may just trying to stand up and walk away when he/she can't stand with the questions anymore
Some, may .....

Hopefully you all will read up... At least, it helps to improve your question in asking. =D

Example of the questions(TOP 5 questions):
1.
Question: Can you help me to check for the air ticket? How much? Can help me to buy?
Answer: Pilot is flying the aircraft. Ensure passengers' safety when on board ( Okay, on board!!** I will come to this later). We ain't the one decided for how much is the ticket price for today. We ain't the one selling the air ticket. Please go to airport and buy it/ online booking/mobile booking...

2.
Question: Wao!! You're a pilot now, hey, we're friend for so long already, give me some free ticket~
Answer: Excuse me!!! I fly the aircraft doesn't mean i own the company!! I have no right to say for it!!! Are you going to tell me if you're a cashier in XXX shopping mall, then whatever i've chosen, you can count me RM0.01 each? Even i own the company, standard operating procedure please!! Go and buy the ticket yourself whichever way you know and whenever there is a promotion price if you wanna save up. If everyone said they're my Hi-Bye friend, the company will then go bankrupt soon!!!

3.
Question: Pilot..So you're working at XXX Airport then?
Answer: We're not working at airport. We're working with the company. If the company is an airlines, we are working with the airlines located at YYYY ; If the company is a flying academy, then the office is at WWWW. Most of the time, the work place will be in the air(cockpit / aircraft) due to flying. Common sense will tell you that we can never fix at an airport since we're flying, isn't it? Therefore, tell me how can we still work at XXX Airport then?

4.
Question: Can you tell me which way to the washroom/to ....?
Answer: Hey, hey~~~! We're first time in this airport as well. We fly to this airport doesn't mean we know every single corner in this building. Instead of you, I also need people to tell me the short cut to XXX place. Whichever it is, can you just read the symbol of washroom/...? I believe there will be an international language-English signboard somewhere. Else, raise your head up and seek for the symbol of washroom/...

5.
Question: I have lost my luggage! Did you see it? What am I supposed to do?
Answer: Erm... Go to the information counter and check it out with them please. I'm not a security of this airport. If you see the uniform and you know we're pilot, don't ask this question to us as well. We are ensuring your safety on board but not ensuring your safety, your belongings throughout your journey. There are a lot of departments in a company. It's not under our control when you lost your luggage. Read up the 'questions normally be asked' / ' HELP' from the airlines website please. There's a guide there/go to the information counter please, they're 'informative' enough.

Forgive us, sometime as a pilot, we're really new at majority of the airport. We're trying to figure the destination(on ground) by ourselves as well.

Forgive us, as a pilot, we fly the aircraft. Air tickets, gifts,... ain't under our control whether to give you free or not.

Forgive us, as a pilot, we're ops dept. . A company does have lotsa dept., please seek for the right dept. and go for it, can?

Forgive us, sometime we do need the cooperation in asking us question as well. =)
