Adapted from a recent Hax-Philes group posting, in which Carolyn Hax asked readers "What's the rudest question you've ever been asked." Here my top 10 favorite responses....let me know what you think, and if you've heard worse!
10. SunnyFLChick: "Are those your real eyes?"
9. NLSDC: "'Why are you not drinking?'
Usually followed up with 'Are you pregnant?' or when I said 'I'm not pregnant, just being healthy.' followed up with 'Then, why?'"
8. joran: "As an Asian, I get kind of annoyed with the following exchange:
'Where are you from?'
'Maryland, right around Washington, D.C.'
'No, no, where are you [i]really[/i] from?'" 7. mouse2talk2u: "Why don't you change your name to something that's easier to spell and pronounce?" 6. VA129: "Family friend: 'So where are you applying to school?' Me: 'Oh, Harvard, Yale, UVa, Princeton, W&M, Penn, etc.' FF: 'Are you smart enough to go there?!'" 5. palmettogrl: "Her: 'You have kids?' Me: 'Nope.' Her: 'Why not?' Me: 'Uh...I'm not married?' Her: 'So what? You aren't getting any younger you know.'" 4. kea: "'How come you speak English so well?'" 3. di54: "'Don't you understand that men need more money to take care of their families?'" 2. youngj1: "'Are you on welfare?'" 1. sumpin: "Didn't you used to be a lot thinner?"
