What is the rudest question...

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I had a very rude comment made to me over the weekend and I remembered this thread...


We saw my husband's boss and his wife over the weekend. I've only met them a couple times, but I don't like them at all. The FIRST thing the wife said to me was "how far along are you?", as she pat her belly (referring to my pregnancy). I said "almost half way". To which she replied "oh! You're big, you must eat too much". Now, I'm not a skinny girl to begin with and yes I have a little baby belling showing, but the way she said it made me seem like I was gigantic. The look on my husband's face when was one of pure shock. She caught us totally off guard and neither of us knew how to respond.

Well, isn't she precious?

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

I too have been asked that,And with me i do get pretty angry,And it was my stepfather who said this to me,And i told him where to go and how to get there,There not just dogs,There my children...I have had many pets in my life,and they all have a place in my heart,whether there here or passed on.

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?

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.

It's always something!

When shopping for Laura late in the pregnancy, cashiers would ask, who I was shopping for, when I'd say "my little one who will be here in less than a month", they'd look at me and first ask if I was adopting..... when I'd tell them no and that I was expecting and ready to pop they would look at me shocked and say "You don't look pregnant at all".

I completely agree with Mary on this one. Unbelievable!!

I know its late for me to speak up. I never read this thread before, but the rudest Qs, you guys have been asked, are RUDE. Once my class fellow asked me, When did you last have a bath, your necks dirty and black. I got so angry because I had a bath the day before and my neck was red because of all the scrubbing. I told her that I had a bath the day before, maybe she needed an eyesight check up. I got so mad and many of my friends were right next to me. And when I looked, there was nothing on my NECK!

Another rude question. Its the rudest rudest ever, it not actually a question its a statement by one of my family members. My love decreased for him then, he said, (the main part of the sentence) Sana has a rat face, Actually I am extremely skinny, but that's no reason to call me rat face. I have a normal round head. The guy said, Sana has a rat size face and stuff. I got so angry and felt so weird. I didn't like him that much later on. The same guy said. I didn't give Squirtle anything. Actually I forgot to tell the worker that he had to bring food for Squirtle. So, he said, you don't care about Squirtle that's why you forgot. I'm going to send Squirtle away. I got so angry, I started crying and my mom told that guy that I cared so much. It wasn't even proper morning and I would be there and then the guy said, ohh I didn't mean it. And when ever he asked me something I turned my back towards him and I didn't answer him the WHOLE night. He asked lots of questions. Not a single answer from me

I can't believe I didn't see this thread before.

Working in retail, you get ALL kinds of idiots.

I like what Laura's Babies said. PERFECT!!!!

Hmm, rudest question I've been asked? Probably when it comes to my hearing disability. "Can you hear?" in the wrong situation.

Countrywolf, is there a courteous way to ask? I am going to be volunteering at the information desk at church again this fall. We have hearing assist devices that worshipers can check out if they want one for the service. But, sometimes they just have a question or need certain information. The info desk is in the vestibule and it is noisy and busy with people coming and going; it's also a meeting place for kids and parents after Sunday school. I don't want to offend someone, but if they have a hearing impairment and a question, the info desk is not a good place to get an answer. The best I can do is to ask the person to move to the side of the desk, against the wall, which is a little calmer, so I can answer their question without 50 zillion kids running and hollering, people talking and laughing and hurrying in and out.

"Are you pregnant?" Uhmmm... NO! This is just how I'm built. And yes, I'm dieting and exercising.

I'm not shy about telling people that I live at a nudist resort in summer, we have people from all walks of life there and people of every shape and size.

What I hate is when someone says, behind my back, "Can you believe SHE goes nude?!" I know I'm not small, but geez, how rude can you be?? One of the reasons I love Sunny Rest is because it's so free from those kinds of comments.

I work in the Entertainment Department at a theme park with characters.

Today, I was escorting a character who is much more feminine then the others)and some guy asked me if he could "squeeze her a$$". I said "that'd be a good way to get yourself kicked out of the park and sued for sexual harassment". People seem to think they can treat you differently when you're dressed in a costume.

These weren't really rude, so much as just dumb. Clara is one, now, and a hairstylist at the salon asked why I didn't give Clara any of the candy that was at the front desk. I had taken a piece of Laffy Taffy for myself. I told her "Because she's one." Duh. And, then she proceeded to ask, "What? Did you at least give her a chocolate bunny at Easter? What are you going to do for Halloween?" First of all, she's ONE. It's August. Which means she was about 7 months old at Easter.

I'm sure there are people out there who give young infants chocolate bunnies for Easter and let their 14-month-olds pig out on Halloween candy, but I choose to believe that it's not the norm. Call it putting my head in the sand, but lalalalalalalalala I'm not listening!
