What's one question...

How much do you weigh.

How much do you weigh.

Okay if someone ever asked me that.. my response would knock them onto their butt.

My least favorite

"What do you do for a living?"

Mostly because I can't answer it without trying to expalin. I'm in every department in the company. My response if often "Whatever my boss asks me to do."

What should we have for breakfast/lunch/dinner? I swear one of the worst parts of adulthood/parenting is figuring out food all the time.

 

[susanm9006]

Why I never married.

 

[kashmir64]

Any one of the above would work for me.

[neely]

Where do you get your protein? Since I'm vegetarian I get asked this a lot and I just want to answer, look it up!!!

”But don’t you want babies?” was the most idiotic version of ”why aren’t you married/why don’t you have children”, asked by a prize fool when she knew I was single. All the more ridiculous since I was 47 at the time.

Yup! Same here...I'm tired of people asking about kids. It's fine if when meeting someone new that they ask if/how many kids I have...but when I say None...STOP there!!!! It's none of your business why I don't have them. I don't need to be told I "still have time"...Which IMO...I don't. And quite frankly, I've always felt weird when people would ask if we're "trying"...like I just want to answer..."yes good sir/mam...we fornicate all the if you must know!"
Anyway....it just bugs me...

Oh gosh I have too many that I hate being asked! I'll just sum it up, otherwise it makes for a long post of all the Q's I get asked.

I get a lot of annoying or stereotypical questions for being....


- 100% childfree and never wanting kids (Glad I'm not alone in this forum!)
- A ballerina (*Not only stereotypical questions, but also a lot of sexual ones from men because I am very flexible)
- A solo female traveler



I have my respective rebuttals and answers of course But man, it is 2023, a girl who is only minding her own business really can't catch a break with the ridiculous, archaic and rude questions....holy guacamole it is bad.

This isn't really a question in the way you are thinking, but "can't you take a joke?" really triggers something in me. Gotta love growing up with emotionally immature parents.

When I was a kid, I was selectively mute, so I absolutely hated the questions, "why don't you talk?" and "are you shy?" Like, really? You really think I'll tell you when I haven't talked in school for 7 years?

 

[game misconduct]

do you have kids my answer is always none that i know about

 

[Mia6]

Why did you never have children?

I get asked stupid questions because I'm vegetarian. They ask about the protein, they ask what do
I eat for Thanksgiving if I don't eat meat and this just happened yesterday. Everytime I'm at a restaurant and someone ask what am I'm going to get I make the mistake of telling them I'm vegetarian. Right away they grab a menu and they start telling me what I can get. It males my blood boil. Do they think I'm so stupid that I can't read a menu?

 

[vansX2]

I suppose asking if I have any children. I often say that I have two " Kitty Kids ".

 

[Katie M]

I have legit been asked this, "Why do you walk funny?"

 

[misty8723]

Do you have big plans for the weekend?

As far as kids, we don't have them, and not one person has ever asked me why. I think that's an unbelievably rude question to ask someone.
