I am a fan of “When are you going to die and leave me your house”
“We tried everything over and over and over again, including medical intervention. Unfortunately nothing worked, so thanks for bringing up that incredibly painful and deeply personal subject.”
When are you going to retire? You must be nearly 70 at this stage
Tell people you’ve had a miscarriage and they will never mention pregnancy in your presence again.
_”How’s that investment thing going for you there? Bitecoin, was it? Seemed like it was going great when I saw you last Christmas.”_
Anyone any idea what to say when someone asks you when are you going to meet someone? I actually hate that question and never know how to respond.
I always get sick and tired of these questions. At weddings and stuff. Oh your next now when do you go??
I always get back at them to at the funerals, ah your next now. When do you go?
I already did, they’re in your sitting room wrecking your gaff.
One just found some markers. Have fun.
LEAVE ME BE REPTILE
Excellent answers. Lie to give them a massive guilt trip. Or be equally fantastically rude in return.
Hand them your phone on this thread & tell them to choose whichever answer they prefer….. i like them all!
My family are actually sound and accept that myself and partner will be childfree. I actually found other people such as older coworkers can be taken aback by my stance.
But when are you going to have kids?
Do people really struggle with this over Christmas? Can you not just tell them to fuck off? I’ve never had a problem telling anyone, family or otherwise, to fuck off.
Ask them why are they so interested in your sex life?
As a man, I always found this question to be very insensitive and strange
I assume it’s mainly women to women but as a man even knowing that that question is asked by people makes me uncomfortable
I would be very concerned if someone asked that question and the other person had an issue conceiving
Masturbate in your own faeces on the dinner table
The independent has played an important role in creating the housing disaster.
She prefers anal so…
“Look we’re gonna go at it hammer and tongs straight after dinner ok”
“Still no girls on the go?” – Aunt
“No, now please fuck off.”
Next family funeral whisper in their ear ‘you’re next ‘
“After we get over the bereavement first”
Ok, can we please stop fucking posting articles that are fucking paywalled?
Seriously if you want to share it, then for Christ’s sake show me the article so I can read it instead of relying on the clickbaity-as-fuck headlines.
From the title ALONE, since this is paywalled (again, ffs), all I can say is that oftentimes offence is taken and not given. “Any kids on the way?” or “Are you single still?” may just be a poor choice of phrasing but it’s never really meant as an insult.
People you haven’t spoken to in a long time will want to know what is going on in your life. And the primary things in people’s lives are their relationships much moreso than their careers. And since family is probably the most important structure of a relationship one can have, it’s normal for people to ask if you are starting one, or on your way to it.
Stop taking shit so fucking personally when someone asks you a completely normal question. If you want, just tell them “No I’m too busy going out to night clubs on Fridays and Saturdays so I can get shitfaced and get the shift. I’m not bothered about starting a family because life here is too expensive, jobs don’t pay well and the government is doing everything it can to actively destroy my future.”
If that doesn’t get them off your back then fair enough, take offence. It still makes you a bitch though.
