How would you respond if somebody asked you a question that you didn't want to answer?

This is a stupid response. People ask because they're curious.

Why are you curious?

Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people.

So in--

You: "Are you planning on having more kids?"
Response: "What makes you ask?"

Your response wouldn't be to inwardly think, yikes that is none of my business? Just FYI, if you said "Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people" I would respond

- I am having a miscarriage as we speak
- My marriage is in trouble
- I can't and it's so painful
- I am depressed or dying, and don't think it's wise
- My husband can't get it up

Even if none of the above are true.

If you asked,

- Why did you keep your maiden name?
- Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people

I would respond,

"because I think people who do it are dumb"

It seems like often questions have agendas

Maybe you think that saying you're having a miscarriage as we speak would make me uncomfortable, but it wouldn't. I'm not afraid of traditionally uncomfortable discussions.

And you're not afraid of making other people uncomfortable over their own situations, which are none of your business in the first place. Glad you're probably not coming to our neighborhood BBQ this afternoon.

Usually catches people off guard.

To which they would answer: "why not?"

And I’d reply “Because that’s a bit personal, Becky. Now you know.”

And I would respond: My name is not Becky, you don't even know that about me?

People ask me a lot of these. I say “I don’t talk about x”

Translation: I'm not uncomfortable making people I don't know very well (or they would have told me already) feel uncomfortable about their personal affairs that are none of my business.

You sound like a real peach!

Yes I am, and I'll ask why you don't wear a bra when your boobs hang that low naturally, why you let your kid pee on other people's lawns and don't keep better watch over him, and why your let your father parallel park his car using the bump-and-go method.

You need to learn how to redirect these idiots, OP. Otherwise, avoid them completely.

So many assumptions. You seem really difficult and high maintenance.

I don’t give two shits about you. Not bothering to learn your name.

I can neither confirm nor deny

Those records are sealed

I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you

I'm tempted to make you uncomfortable in a really loud, public way.

Clears throat, says loudly... "Hey Becky!"
Pauses to make sure lots of people are listening.... "Why would you ask me that, when you barely know me and it's really none of your business?"

It’s fascinating how many of you have fantasies of telling other people off, putting them in their place or otherwise deliberately trying to make them uncomfortable. Not a good look.

Just say "I don't know."

That's a lie. DCUM says that you can never lie. You must 100% truthful at all times.
