For me, it is "Why don't you want kids?"

Well, random stranger, let me explain how it is none of your business...

    "What are you?"

    Sooo many ways to respond.

    When I start simple - female, hungry, American...they typically roll their eyes, then say, "but what is your background? What's your ethnicity?"

    "Have we met?" I have one of those faces.

    Haha I hate the questions about kids! I love being single and childless!!

    I also hate questions from my family about my introversion. I'm not shy, I just like people in small doses only.

    I'd also like to be able to occasionally express certain beliefs and opinions without "Are you a libtard?" being a response. Ugh.

    Right now, it's "are you doing ok?" followed by "how are the boys?"

    "Have you always been this way?"

    "Are you doing something about it?"

    Yep, I got that one a lot. I finally shaved the one I had for 15ish years this summer. Oddly enough, I don't miss it.

    Well played on the puppy. They're chick magnets.

    Are you still on a diet? I have never been on a diet, this is usally asked when I am eating something someone thinks I shouldn't be eating!

    My favorite - What are you doing? - quickly followed by total disinterest when I mention counting calories . . .

    Mine turned 18 this month. Hate to part with it.

    Why do you run? (If you need to ask, you'll never understand the answer).

    That's why I usually just say I'm eating right and exercising. If they want more specifics, I gladly share it with them. I think there may be a stigma attached to counting calories. I know I had my own preconceived notions about it.

    Or, "Is that on your diet?"

    "Is that your real hair color?" (why yes, yes it is!)

    "So, how short are you?"
    oh and "did you know if you were taller you wouldn't look like you need to lose weight....you are just so compact"

    "Wow! You look like you are losing weight, is everything ok?"
    I have responded, more than once with, " The doctors don't know yet. They are waiting on results of a biopsy."
    The look on their faces is slightly more than priceless.

    This.

    I get asked this quite often too because I have an exotic look apparently.
