Geez, there are so many. They fall into two main categories, money and sex.

How much do you make, anyway?

What did you guys pay for this house?

How much do you still owe on your mortgage?

What did you spend on Christmas/your vacation/the funeral?

Were you trying to get pregnant or is this an accident?

Do you shave down there?

Do you guys do anything kinky?

Are you on your period?


People don't seem to have any idea of boundaries, eh?

Maryn, whose answers tended to be flippant rather than the cold stare and silence the question merited

Do you believe in god?

Have you ever wanted to kiss a girl?

Did you have a good childhood?

Do you love your parents?


Oddly, all but one of them occurred while I was on some form of public transport...

A pushy woman once snapped at me, 'Do you believe in God?'

my answer, 'Yes, but you're not him.'

The State of Marriage Equality.
I had one of those moments the other day. "So I hear you wrote a novel. Can I read it?" I wanted to scream, "Lady, I don't even know you!" But I didn't. I wish I would've said, "Sure, you can buy it when it's published."

Are those black children yours?

Yep. Their dad is well hung, and I needed attention from society.


My smart ass answer was WELL worth the look on that byach's face.

When they see our house, "What do you do for a living," or even worse, like I'm a Stepford wife, "What does your husband do?"

"How much did you pay for this?"

About my height: "How's the weather up there?" and "Do you play basketball?"

About my children: "Are you breastfeeding?" "Cesarean or vaginal?"

"Have you claimed Christ as your lord and personal savior?" and "Have you been saved?"

...and my personal fave, which was asked of me in a gay bar: "Are you a real woman?" (um, last time I looked.)

My wife is 20 years younger and I actually had some asshole ask me this question: God! she's so young, isn't like having sex with your daughter? Without skipping a beat I said "NO, not at all, my daughter is 3 years older. The look on this guys face was priceless..... ( met him playing basketball, and schooled him, he was ten years younger) Haven't seen him since.....

lost among the words
When I was still married to my ex-husband (who's black), I got "Is it true, what they say about--THEM?"

My general reply was "If you can't say it, I'm not telling you."
