What is the rudest question...

**Queen of Poop** · 11-14-2009, 06:37 PM

The rudest question is one I've been asked alot lately.

Why didn't you leave sooner?

Unless you've been emotionally abused you will never understand, I couldn't.

Oooooo! It would take a book to write up what lead up to a Captain asking me this..

"What KIND of relationship do you and "Captain X" have anyway, that he allows that?".. I told him REAL quick that I didn't like how that sounded at ALL! I was highly insulted that someone that had only known me for several days would judge me in any way...

"So when are you and hubby going have have kids of your own?"
I ALWAYS replied: "They're teenagers... the best birth control imaginable."

And when I was single:
"So why are you still single?" If I knew why, I wouldn't have been single, now would I have been?

I was asked the old "When is your baby due?" question. I replied, "Two months ago." Bummed me out on two levels: one, that I was obviously still fat two months after giving birth and two, that I was too poor to buy new clothes.

I also get various versions of "OMG, how can you STAND to have that many dogs in your house?"

When I was in my teens, I was climbing steps from the train to the street, and two handsome, white collar guys (you never know) asked me how long it took me to learn how to get my big fat ass moving up the steps.

Wha? 30+ years later, 30 pounds lighter, I'm still haunted. I can see it as if it was yesterday.

Karen I'm so angry at the miserable monsters that said that to you. Shame on them, those miserable jerks.

When I was a young girl, I was about 12, I was in Santa Barbara, CA at my aunts house and she and a few of her friends were taking my family and I to a big ritzy party. I was (and still am) really sensetive, and this one perticular friend of my aunt was a horrible man. I was waiting for my brother and my dinner to be done in the microwave (we were having those frozen fried chicken pieces and were waiting on the chicken to finish cooking in the microwave) and this friend of my aunts said, "come on Leslie, you don't need to eat, you're fat enough". It took a few seconds to comprehend what he said (no grown-up had ever used those ugly words with me before) and then I ran out of the house crying. I'm still traumatized by that. How could anyone be so ugly, especially to a sweet child?

The thing that immediately comes to mind is (and I've received several versions of this question) Do you have all those birds to make up for the fact that you never had children?

Excuse me. . .I never wanted children. I did, however, want every single bird that I share my home with.

I can't think of any rude questions, but the annoying one has to do with Bruce and I not being married. It comes in many forms - Don't you want to get married? Doesn't he want to get married? Do you think you'll ever get married? Do you (does he) want kids?
We've been together for almost 7 years, why get married? It's working just fine as it is. Besides, why is it anyone else's business if I'm married or not? I don't understand!!! If I weren't happy and insisted on being married I guess I would have left him years ago, right?

Laura, I love your response to the "why are you still single?" question. That's hilarious!!! I was asked that a lot back when I was single too. I wish I had that answer for them.

Bad enough to say that anyhow but to a teenage girl yet? Deplorable! In my fantasy, you roundhoused both of them and down those steps they went.

Don't worry - they got theirs! No one can be so mean without getting a kick in the karma

Well, the rudest question:

Why do you love animals so much!!!? They don't have no soul! They don't have any feelings! Stop loving animals!

And i said,

Get out of my way.

Rudest comment:

You're SO fat you can not walk through a small doorway!

But i'm quite skinny.

Other rude things:
Stop loving animals!
How can you live with a stupid CAT!?
It's just a MUTT!
Stop thinking about animals! Shut up!
*i'm talking about animals* SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**luvofallhorses** · 11-14-2009, 09:16 PM

Um the rudest was when I was skinny in highschool don't you ever eat?

I'd like to be asked that now that I am not skinny anymore.

**kitten645** · 11-14-2009, 10:18 PM

" "So why are you still single?" If I knew why, I wouldn't have been single, now would I have been? "

I don't even know where to go with that one. I've been asked that many times and I find it rude. I CHOOSE to be single. I don't have to figure out what's wrong with me! I know why. It's a choice for me. I could be married if I wanted to be. It's none of their business. I wouldn't ask a married person when they expected to be divorced!

The questions I find rude don't involve context, it's more of an issue with of how the question was asked. I will answer any question because subject matter doesn't bother me as long as A. the person wants an HONEST answer and B. they ask tactfully. Any question that can't be asked tactfully is one that should go unanswered in my opnion.
