How it's used
Expresses disbelief or annoyance when someone does something unreasonable or when a situation defies expectations. It functions as a rhetorical question that does not actually require an answer, serving instead to vent frustration. It is highly versatile and can be used in almost any context where you feel something is absurd or unfair.
Examples
Are you kidding me? I've been queuing for an hour and it's still not my turn?
He actually said he's not going, can you believe that?
