What is the rudest question...

[joycenalex]

you've ever been asked? i've been reading some on another forum and now i'm curious. given that this is an animal lovers site, the question to me was why would you spend so much money on 'just' a dog?

In real life, I once had a neighbor ask me "No kids? What's wrong with you?" in a way that I knew he thought was being funny. Suffice to say he will never do that ever again.

This is not pet related at all, but VERY rude. Last year I stopped coloring my hair for about 6 months. I was going through a health food/lifestyle phase and trying not to use many chemicals.

Went to a family party for one of the little ones. My niece's husband looked at me and said...wow Aunt Helen, can't you afford hair color any longer? I couldn't believe it. This is a guy that pretty much will say anything. I laughed it off but just seriously thought to myself...what the heck?!?

"It smells in here. Do you take a bath every day?" from a college roomate. She was a total holier than thou "princess" beeyotch. I ended up swapping rooms with somebody else.... ummmm.... with a darker skin tone just like hers, and she never had any issues at all with them.

I don't know if it's the rudest question we've ever been asked but it is one that I HATE.

"so how much money do you make"

I dont' know I was just always taught that you don't ASK people that... of course this same person spent the whole week talking about money and asking how much this friend makes and how much this person makes and how much is your bonus and blah blah blah. I just can't stand the money obsession

What did you do with the body?

LOL,
The gal I was dating asked me (Remember, I am half Mexican...) "What do you eat on Thanksgiving"?

I kept a straight face and told her, "Tacos, burritos, rice and beans".

She had a stunned look on her face and I laughed like a drunken idiot and told her, "what do YOU think?"


I am still laughing.

Only you would come up with that Richard..

RICHARD, what time is Thanksgiving dinner at your house?

Here's a great 'neutral' answer to a question that some Rude Butthead asks.


Stop the conversation, but a look on your face like you are thinking then say,
"No one has ever asked me that, Let me get back to you with an answer."

Then move on.

You do not owe anyone the time of effort if they insult you like that.

Usually, if someone asks me a question that's none of their business, I simply smile. If they then ask "Did you hear me?", I answer "Yes, I heard you. I'm ignoring you".

I've been asked that question a million times.

[redbird]

This question was not only rude but uncalled for, "how can you stand living with a cat"? I cannot post here what my answer to that was but I'm sure you all have an idea.

The ruddest question I was asked was when I worked as a grocery store cashier.

One of the customers I was checking out asked me 'how long till the bread was out of the oven' (bad way of asking when the baby is due).......

I was not pregnant!


Just because someone has on a loose flowing top and happens to have a pudgy looking belly, does not make one pregnant!

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.
