What is the rudest question...

[pomtzu]

"Are those real?" I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out to what he was referring.

And I'll bet it's not the obvious!

I say fingernails.....

I know what you're thinking Mary - but I couldn't resist!

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.

[Laura's Babies]

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!)

It's got to be "Why are you so upset? It's just a dog" when Angus died.

This was well over 20 years ago and I remember it as if it was yesterday...

My husband and I were going through infertility procedures and there were times certain things were happening and I had to get to the doctor's office at THAT MOMENT. My instructions were to just call and tell them I was on the way. EVERY TIME I called, the nurse/receptionist asked, "ARE YOU PREGNANT?" To which I did NOT reply, although I wanted to, "NO, STUPID, THAT'S THE PROBLEM!"

I've been asked the same question twice by this jerk in the mall here. It's one of those center kiosk (sp) things and the sales people are trying to sell their product. In this case it was these neck warmer wrap things. Anyway, I'm walking becide Quinn, and, not to toot my own horn or anything, but she's a stunning child. He looks at her, then looks at me, and then at her and gasps and says, "Oh my goodness, is she YOURS?" When I reply, "yes", he says (after looking at me then back at her, "WOW, she's gorgeous!". Yes I am aware she's a gorgeous child but Mister, I'm not a total hag. It's really insulting. That same man has said that same thing to me twice. I avoid that whole kiosk now. She is a pretty child, and I know I'm not a supermodel or anything, but I'm not a total hag and I am capable of producing a pretty child. GRRRR. It's so insulting. They way he says it, he's obviously surprised that such a pretty child is the product of me. I can't tell exactlly where he's from, but he has a strong accent (maybe Italian), so maybe in the country he's from, it's OK to be so rude.

I had a very embarrassing moment around that exact phrase. At my 15th year college reunion a friend was there with her daughter. Not an extremely close friend; we were in a couple of the same classes, did some group presentations together, that sort of thing. And she was coming toward me with a small child - we greeted one another and she said, "And this is (child's name)." I responded, "Wow! Is she yours?" Meaning, what happened - the last time we saw one another you were single with no intention of ever marrying, and now here you are with a child, and not a baby but a child who is walking and talking and yes, that is a wedding band on your left hand, so I guess the plans to remain single went bye-bye! I spoke before I thought. It was extremely embarrassing. Now I am careful to greet friends' and former classmates' children by saying, "Hello, it is very nice to meet you, (child's name)."

And adoremydogs, I always enjoy seeing pictures of Quinn!

The two I get all the time are:

When are you and Dustin getting married? Why don't you just get married already?


and

When are you two having kids?

[Miss Z]

The scene:

Friend's party, getting fairly late. I don't know an awful lot of people there so I'm just chatting in a corner with a few people that I do know. Guy comes up, breath heavy with the various beverages he has indulged himself in.

"Hey babes. I've heard all about you. If I'm good, can I get into Heaven?"

If any of you are Facebook friends with me, you'll understand.

Ditto! Mike and I have been together for 4 years, and we aren't exactly 'ready' for marriage - We can't afford to move out just yet, even a wedding. It's been in the talks, though but eventually whenever the timing is right, it'll happen.
