For some reason, I have hardly ever been asked "are you getting married/having kids/blah blah blah". And if I have, I've forgotten it.
And I think among family, I have discussed wanting kids, but naturally having to put that aside for a while. Quote:

Ugh. That question is the bane of my existence. It really isn't that hard to determine whether or not a person works at a place. The ones who do tend to wear uniforms, or at least a name tag. So just look for a name tag instead, before asking me "do you work here?". If you see one, then you can feel free to ask for their help. If you don't, move the hell on and find someone else who does.

For the record, I'm no longer interested in having kids. Where I worked at the time just shot any desire to have any kids to hell. It was a health center by the way. Sometime before that, I worked at a department store. |

Did you parents monitor what you were doing on the Internet at that age?

They'd ask what I did when I was done and I told them about it though

I get that all the time from old ladies at the craft store. You've never seen a man in the scrapbooking isle before? I need fancy paper; I don't know where the bobbins are.

I had a guy in high school, that for some reason, keep pestering me, trying to find out what my middle name was. That went on for several weeks.

I don't think anyone's ever done this to me about my middle name, but all throughout school people would find some question to ask me that I didn't want to answer and they'd just keep asking it and asking it and asking it.

I've been asked if I was a dwarf because of being short. No, I would have to be even shorter to classify as that size.

I'd get that too. One was whether or not I was a virgin. The question always seemed so random, and sort of insulting because I figured I knew what they were trying to insinuate.

Me: "I don't smoke weed."
Them: "Oh so you're against it?" No, idiots. Just because I don't partake in something doesn't mean I'm against other people doing it. Not everything is about being pro or against something, for God's sake. I simply don't find smoking pot interesting. |

Oh man I got that one too before I even knew what the word meant, so when I understandably responded with "I don't know what that means" everyone thought it was funny.

Were people attempting to make you feel guilty about it and trying to pressure you into having sex?

No, they just wanted to ask me a question I didn't know the meaning of. I was in middle school at the time. I didn't have any interest in that ****.

Don't feel bad. I get the same response when I give that answer if it comes up. In my case, when they ask if I'm against it I say "no, I'm ALLERGIC!!" and they give me this dumbfounded look as if they never even imagined that was even POSSIBLE! Like they never thought someone might actually have a legitimate physical/medical reason for avoiding it??!! Blows their minds every time.

My brother did that when he was in high school but abortions were legal where we lived and that's what his girlfriend and him agreed was best. I think he was like 15 or 16 at the time. I didn't even know it happened until I was way older and I have no idea how my parents reacted.

Ya know that happened to me one time when I went to Blick's in a Blick shirt.
NOW some background, my community college I went to gave free shirts and coupons the first week of school, but only on the 6th floor, which was the art floor (being in Architecture programs thats usually the floor I would be on). Fast forward about a month later and I go to Blicks to pick up some inking pens. Then Like 3 people come up to me and ask where stuff is. Considering I was always picking up drawing tools I knew where everything was, and then I realized it was because of my shirt . The 4th person to ask me I said "Yeah stationary is on the next isle... But I don't work here" I'm sure some of the employees got a kick out of the whole thing.
