Some people think that only stupid people have to ask about things, because smart people should already know. To them asking has a negative connotation. Whereas, of course, the truth is that smart people ask about things whereas stupid people assume they already know. Socrates was the first person to say so, about 2300 years ago. Socrates was an incredibly smart person who asked questions constantly about things the people around him thought they knew (but didn't).

The negative connotation of "ask" can imply being demanding, intrusive, or pestering. It may suggest putting pressure on someone or seeking information in a persistent or unwelcome manner.
