I cannot believe some of these questions people got asked, I really don't get how people can be so rude. :( Karen, I cannot believe anyone said that too you and to everyone else - the nerve..honestly. :rolleyes:
I remembered one from when I was in elementary school, I do not understand how I could forget something like this. This kid that sat across from me was always being a busy body with everyone. One day I did a little paragraph about how my brother was in Iraq at the time. I went back to my table after reading it and the dumb kid asked me flat out "Did he die?". Fine I know he was young - we all were though, I would have NEVER asked such a stupid question. He said it in such a mocking voice to. If he had died - WHICH he did not I would have said so, wouldn't I, genius? Secondly, that's not something you ask someone. :rolleyes: What an idiot.
please oh please tell me your aunt threw him out of her house and her life. what a miserable waste of skin fro an adult to try to hurt a child. i am so sorry,Quote:

Thanks. Yeah it still hurts. Words are weapons for sure.
Thanks sweety :) Yeah she does resemble me quite a bit. She's a nice mix, looks like daddy and looks like me. My son looks more like me then he looks like daddy.Quote:

Um, no, lots of people adopt and never have biological children.
Thanks, girls, for your compassionate responses. You know, some stupid, nitwit comments I shrug off, or at the most, fester for a short time. (too shocked to reply, then later wishing I had said something witty)
I was never skinny. I wore "mini skirts", but not as mini as some of my long legged friends. Yes, I carried weigh from the hips down no matter what I did. But the comments by those guys remained with me. I'm sure other people heard them. I was mortified and it ruined me for a long time, wondering what people aren't saying to my face.
I was so obssessed with my body around that time, I had 3 liposuctions, lost 30 pounds, excercise etc. I needed to rebuilt..rather FIND self esteem. Still working on it.
Anyway, Yes, I believe in karma too.
:love::love::love:
Three questions immidiately come up here:
We have 2 adopted children now. after trying to get kids for at least 5 years, we've got the most rude questions on this matter!! Here are the worst 3:
1)Who's fault is it??
2)You need a picture??
3)Shall I show you how to do it??
The first one was asked by a psychologist who was interviewing us for the adoption procedure. I answered that this was none of his business, and that was a very unappropiate thing to ask!!
The 2nd & 3rd was asked by a "friend" to my hubby!! That person is NOT welcome here anymore!!!
I was asked why i have 5 cats & then the creep said to get rid of them. I told him to get rid of himself. Rude people exist everywhere. Oh...i was also asked why i never married & then the rude person asked "are you gay" ? Im not gay but its no ones beeswax what i do with my life.
I thought of 2 more. A long time ago there was this man that lived down the hall from me and we'd usually leave for work at the same time. He'd say hello as he passed me and I'd say hello back. One day he asked me "Do you work?". I told him yes and I thought that was strange. He made a comment that I didn't look like I was dressed for work. At my work I don't need to be dressed up. I can wear jeans and tennis shoes. I work in a dental lab and it's very dusty and dirty there. I guess he just assumes that everyone should dress professionaly if they work. I'm glad that he doesn't live in my building any more.
Another question I get a lot is "How many cats do you have?" When I tell them 5 many people are shocked and they probably think that I'm a crazy cat lady. One co-worker even said that my place probably smells because I have so many cats. I blew it off because she's rude to everyone at work.
I rather enjoy the shock of telling folks that I share my home with 11 birds. . .although it is often followed by the question "Do you have any children?" and when I say no, I either get the question I posted before or a knowing smile. . .whatever. . .Quote:

To this I can answer, "My birds are "throw aways" and they are delightful creatures whose lives I saved from folks like you who did not stop to think before your brought another living creature into your home. I love each and every one of them and would never give any of them up." After which they do not question again and sometimes do not talk to me again. . . :D
Guess the truth hurts. . .
:o I just remembered two Very Rude Questions..
(1) Was from a Vet Clinic that I was thinking about using.. I was to have my Calitt spayed at 6 months so I ask the Desk Clerk about the place & ect for my baby to be spayed.. The Clerk ask Why Was I so Concerned Since I Just Had A Cat?? Oh I was so Mad :mad: && Stormed out of the place..
(2) Was from a Ex Vet.. When I adopted my Autumn which she is one eyed.. My Ex Vet Ask Why did I want to Adopt a Syclop (a one eyed monster)?? Again I was so Mad & just Beside myself.. Again he is my ExVet..
hahaha that's funny :pQuote:
