[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Why do you ask is a great response and will help me push off the inevitable conversation. Thanks![/quote] Disagree that "why do you ask?" is a great response. When people ask me why I'm asking something I look at them like they're stupid and answer that I'm curious. Duh. That's why anyone asks anything. [/quote] I would like to suggest that your "I'm curious" response is a lot less great than the "why do you ask?" question. Of course in most circumstances that is going to be PART of why you asked a particular question, but usually not ALL of why. For an example, see above where I said that the real reason for asking about salary might have nothing to do with wanting to know the person's personal salary. But your response does nothing to help the other person in the conversation know what additional, if any, motivation you had beyond curiosity.[/quote]
