Questions I particularly find rhetorical are, "Did you?" and, "Has she?" or something along those lines. For example, if I tell a guy who works at my house that I had to wait ages for the bus to take me to Waitrose, he simply asks, "Did you?" It's wound me up so much that I no longer have to say anything whenever he asked me that question.
