What is the rudest question...

[Taz_Zoee]

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.

Besides, why is it anyone else's business ...

This is at the crux of so many rude questions. The simple answer is, it's NOT anyone else's business. Period.

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'm pretty sure he's Italian, the jerk. He's not trying to be a jerk, but he's not thinking about what he says before he says it.

I've always thought that Quinn looks a lot like you..... he obviously has no idea what he is talking about....

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.

"How much did it cost?" or "Was it expensive?" from total strangers asking about our daughter's adoption. And not a question, but when they see our family with one Asian daughter, and 2 Caucasian children, we get a lot of "Oh, you adopted and then you got pregnant. That happens all the time!" 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.

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!!!
