Make note. The following are not reference questions. I'm not saying you can't say them. They're just not reference questions.
1. Where are you from? (Derivatives: Are you American? Are you [insert exotic ethnicity here]?
2. You speak English very well.
3. Your knowledge of American culture is impressive.
4. Were you born here?
5. Are you married?
6. Are you a student librarian?
7. Are you from Iraq? (although similar to #1, this one is so special it gets its own number).
8. I just want you to know I am totally against the war.
9. Are you Muslim?
10. I totally have a thing for librarians.

I would always go up to the ref desk and tell them #10. And in return they would always direct me to the 778's. Hmm...
I only get "How many semesters do you have left?"
