What is the rudest question...

[krazyaboutkatz]

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. . .

I occasionally get someone who says, "I had a bird for a while but it [fill in the blank with] was too messy, was too noisy, was too much work, not nice and bit, didn't match the carpet, etc. I gave it away (or let it go ). How do you deal with so many birds?'

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. . .

Guess the truth hurts. . .

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 && 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..

I would've answered, after her saying your place must smell with all those cats...Well you will never find out since you will never be invited over
