About 2 years ago, I lost a good del of weight. One of my co-workers asked,
"Now that you have lost weight, are you going to have babies?"
Huh?

Occupant of Group W Bench
Over 20 years ago, I liked to wear baggy peasant blouses, because they were cool (I had undiagnosed hyperthyroidism.) This jerk at work asked me more than once if I were pregnant. The 3rd time I told him the next time he harassed me we would have a visit with Human Resources. He shut his face after that.
The other one that sticks in my mind was when Smokey the Elder was diagnosed with cancer. When I shared this someone said, "So you're going to have her put to sleep?" I said, "Um...no. My pets are not disposable items." She apologized for her faux pas.

When hearing that I'm divorced the very first thing people would say is "Did he get married again?" To this day I cannot understand why anyone would ask such an insensitive, rude question! My responses varied between "Why do you ask?" "It's none of your d..n business!" and "He stays out of my personal life and I stay out of his. You need to do the same!" I found the last to be the most effective and started using it exclusively.

Livin' in Parrot Paradise
When I split with my first husband, a "friend" (male) from work said to me, "I can't believe that you left him. . .he's such a nice guy! I always liked him so much!"
To which I replied, "Well, he's single now so go get 'em!"
Guess I have a bit of an attitude. . .

I too got a lot of ignorant statements/questions when my ex and I split:
"Wow - I always thought you were the perfect couple"....
Yup - looks can be deceiving.
"He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met".....
Sure - you didn't have to live with him.
"Who's idea was it to split up".....
At least we agreed on one thing.
"I saw him with another woman - is he going to marry her"....
Why don't you ask him, or her. If the answer is yes, convey your sympathies to the woman.

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

I guess there are too many ignorant people running around loose. This thread certainly proves it
