People Reveal The Most Uncomfortable Questions They've Ever Been Asked

Think before you speak.

That is one of the most simple life lessons.

But that is not what people do.

It's mind-boggling at the amount of inappropriate questions people though out.

We just can't help ourselves.

Redditor Hot-Invite-4849 wanted to discuss inappropriate conversation, so they asked:

"What’s the most uncomfortable question you have ever been asked?"

Like A Strawberry?

"A guy working at McDonald’s asked me 'Are you a fruit?' Luckily my other coworker had my back. I asked, 'Are you hitting on me?' Without missing a beat Maria said, 'Ahhhh he is, he’s in love with you I can tell!' He never showed back up to work."

RUDE!!!

"You really don't do anything with your acne, do you?"

~ Yard-Warm479

"Try going to 10 different specialists. Going on 10 different diets. And finally finding out it is caused by this 1 tiny thing no one even thought about in the 10 years you had it. It took getting pregnant for me to get the right treatment for my acne. It turns out, for me, it was the side effect of an autoimmune disease that only got dangerous during pregnancy for anyone to even do anything about. Just Because..."

Just Because...

“'Why do you want your work here?' The only answer my brain would give me was, 'I don’t want to work here. I am desperate.'"

~ Alternative-Ad-4977

"Always baffles me how employers want reliable, honest workers but don't want people to answer interview questions honestly.

"Can't just say 'I need this job for the money' or 'This is the most convenient thing for me right now.'"

"Nooo you gotta say 'This establishment seems like a great place to work, and gee golly I just can't wait to be a part of the team!' or some crap."

NOT CUTE

"I was hitting on a guy, and he just looks at me, laughs, and asks if I'm autistic. I am not."

~ harold_the_cat

"I once was on a first date with a guy who immediately made a joke about buying me an engagement ring. I found the joke off-putting and didn't laugh. He later accused me over text of being autistic. (He also blithered on about how he was friends with a guy who he knew I had recently matched with and was gonna go tell him I was autistic.)"

"Instead, I figured out what guy he was talking about, screenshotted the messages, and sent it to him saying, 'Your friend is doing a great job of ruining both his and your dating chances.'"

"Seven years later it turns out he was right, but not for not laughing at his joke. His joke was still f**king stupid."

Let me list the reasons...

"In a job interview, after a set of pretty standard questions, 'Why DON'T people like you?'"

"Never gotten anything like that before or since."

~ EMPactivated

"It's pretty easy to give an 'interview' response to this one. Go with one of these..."

"I'm very detail-oriented and hold my work to high standards which can come across the wrong way to people who think I'm showing off with the quality of my work."

"I like to keep a casual work environment where I'm friendly and social with my teammates and coworkers. While I find this helps improve morale and makes the day easier it can rub some people the wrong way if they prefer a more traditional and formal work environment."

"I've been lucky enough to benefit from a healthy combination of luck and skill that has given me a string of opportunities that I've been pretty successful in and have allowed me good career advancement. Some people in the past have been frustrated comparing my success to their own and have taken out that frustration on me directly."

Inside Voice

"Sitting in a crowded restaurant with my very Christian friend (who I had just come out to) and she asked me, a little too loudly, how lesbians have sex. Loud enough for a few tables around us to turn and stare. I wanted to melt into the floor.
I just whispered that it wasn’t the right time for that convo and changed the subject. 😂"

It's About That Time

"When are you going to have babies?"

~ 10642alh

"When are you having another one, whilst in hospital recovering from birthing the first one."

~ MLiOne

"A doctor once asked me if I had any kids and when I told her no, she asked me why. Before I could even answer, she said that my clock is ticking and I’m not that young anymore so maybe I should consider getting pregnant ASAP."

"I was 20 years old 💀 I wish I were joking but this really happened, and the reason I was at the doctor didn’t have anything to do with having babies. I was there because I had been suicidal."

~ DimensionBright705

Soft

"I'm a war veteran. I don't really tell anyone that and there's about zero chance you'd think it about me if we were hanging out. I'm about the least intense person you'll ever meet and I look pretty 'soft' for a slightly overweight middle-aged white guy. And that's probably why, when people do find out I've been in a war and I've seen combat, they feel comfortable enough to ask me if I ever killed someone."

"It's such an uncomfortable question to be asked, and I have no idea how to answer it. I hate talking about the war in general. Not because I suffer some sort of PTSD or anything but mostly because I can't imagine anything I say would be believed. It's like, I think about my time deployed, and I'm like, 'No one would ever believe that happened.' That's why I never talk about the war. And no matter what I said about the killing parts, I don't think anyone would really believe it. And certainly not understand it."

~ PunchBeard

Why is that?

"'You don't seem to be that interested in dating lately. Why is that?'"

"I was madly in love with her, and I wasn't interested in dating anyone other than her. I didn't know how to respond, and I completely froze, which never happens to me. She is genuinely a nice person and gives a lot of compliments to everybody. I received more compliments from her in two months than my mom has given me in my entire life."

"She described my personality when she was talking about the person she wanted to date. She was, however, not feeling the same way about me. After a very long period, I asked her out, and she said no."

Poking Holes

"Being alt with piercings always lands you fun questions 'You know you won’t get into heaven with those piercings right?' - 'I bet your father doesn’t approve of any of that does he?' This one was fun cause my father was actually 3 feet away visiting me at work and I got to ask him how disappointed he was in me in front of the customer who immediately turned red and left."

Happy Next Year

"'Why do you spend New Year's Eve alone?' For context - I said to my friend that I was spending New Year's Eve alone because my mom left to her friends, and by asking this, he meant, 'Why are you alone if you have a stepdad?' I didn't have a stepdad because he left us half of a year before the new year, but I didn't tell my friend because I don't want to load other people with my problems, and so I had to really awkwardly explain that my stepdad left me. Ugh."

A Big One

"Not uncomfortable, but weird. During a job interview, I was asked if I was stranded in the woods and could only have one tool, what tool would I choose? Also, if I were a tree, what tree would I be and why?"

Too Soon

"'I graduated just this past May and got hired as the youth minister at [church in nearby town]. This guy approaches me and says 'I'm looking to settle down and start a family soon, so would you like to hang out sometime?'"

"I had just met this guy maybe 30 minutes before he asked me this and he was bringing up marriage and kids! I didn't even know his name."

"What made it really uncomfortable was my friend laughing so hard soda sprayed out of her nose before I had a chance to answer the guy. My boyfriend, who was running late, chose that moment to show up."

~ Feisty-Excuse-0323

Humans really have trouble with our filters.

Who says these things?

And what's really funny is that so many of these people will react with... "What's wrong? What did I say?"

We need self-awareness classes... pronto.

Who talks about marriage after 30 minutes?
