Since I'm a vegetarian, a common question I've been asked since I was a kid was "If you were trapped on an island and the only food was meat, would you eat it?"
Or something to that effect. It's been asked dozens of times to me before and every time it's asked, the person asking acts like it's some novel thought experiment I haven't considered before.
Not only is a situation like that extremely unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, the answer isn't any more complicated than a yes/no
Another question I hate are all of those "Would you do for X sum of money? No? Then what if we upped the money? What's the minimum sum you'd do it for?"
The most common example of "repulsive thing" is usually incest. And it's just an annoying question that isn't even entertaining to answer.
