    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.

    When working as a secretary, about 4 yrs ago I had an office colleague and she always used to ask personal questions...to everyone!

    I had a house for sale and when I did sell it she asked me how much money did I sell it. She knew how much I had bought it for, so she wanted to know how much money I made! Since I was waiting for this question I told her:

    'Oh! what a pitty did not know you wanted to buy it yourself! Well its too late now!'

    Some people don't have any idea where the margin of norm and too personal stands!

    I constantly get asked 'when are you having kids?'. UGH so annoying! First off, I'm childfree and proud! Secondly, if for some reason I wanted kids (*never gonna happen) and couldn't have any, I'd be really upset at people asking that all the time, and third, my reproductive system is none of your business!! I should be asking you- 'why would you have kids??'

    I walk weird, really weird. I don't really know why, but its apparently very noticable. People never really say anything but sometimes I'll get 'what is wrong with your legs?'. It's really annoying, REALLY annoying.

    I've only gottent this once so far since I've had Mikey and since I have over 60 pictures of him on FB but someone asked me why I was so obsessed with my dog in a joking manner but it still gets on my nerves.

    Strangely enough, the rudest question asked was right here on PT.

    I was so shocked, I passed it off with a funny answer, but I've never
    forgotten it. No one, absolutely no one, called the person on it.

    Ugh I've been asked this too and then usually followed up with "can I touch em"... and usually the worst offenders are other WOMEN

    and I'm surprised no one has asked me when I am due yet because I could definitely pass myself off as a pregnant woman lol




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Since I've never been married it's probably the "why are you still single?" question. I usually say that I just haven't found the right person and leave it at that. People also always assume that you have children and when I say that I don't they seemed shocked to hear this too.

    The perfect answer for that "why are you still single?"

    WHY get married and make only one man happy.........?

    I'd rather be single and make them ALL happy!


    (that was my answer when I was young and out in the singles scene and it shut them up fast!)
