Talking to others can sometimes bring up surprising and awkward situations. We've all experienced moments when someone asks an embarrassing question. These situations can be a little awkward or really uncomfortable.

 

What's the most awkward or strange question someone has asked you, and how did you handle that uncomfortable moment?

I used to get coworkers asking me personal questions about my transition. They would ask what surgeries I was going to get if I was getting any. I didn't really mind answering these questions because they were curious and wanted to learn and I knew it wasn't coming from a place of malice but other people could kind of see it as being awkward. I no longer work at that place though, and everyone respects me enough at work not to ask those personal questions.

Wife and I were out comet watching, a few people were there too.

 

A guy walks up to me and asks "are you Mexican? I mean, your darker".

 

I was shocked stunned speechless. I didn't know how to respond, as a plain white person with maybe a slight tan. I was completely offended that those words came out of his mouth. People are so racist anymore.

Everyone has their own beauty.. it doesn't matter what skin color you have. Sadly, the most racism I heard was about people who mostly belong to some European countries. Americans also included.

Something along the lines of, "Can you duckwalk naked on this line until I tell you to stop?"

 

Oh, the things that we'll do for money...

Sounds like something I'd ask if I were a cop.

When I was a teenager, I was really socially awkward and a bit of a recluse, probably because of self-image and confidence issues. One day not long before I left secondary school (think I was either 14 or 15), a really cute girl in my class asked me if I'd walk her home that afternoon. I managed to stumble over my words to agree, but when it came to it, I walked her to basically the end of her road, where she suggested I should "go in" to her house with her because her parents weren't there - at which point, for some reason, my teenage mind shit the bed, and I literally couldn't say anything.

 

When the girl leaned into me and kissed my cheek and whispered for me to come and "watch a movie" with her, for some reason I felt like she'd just asked me for a kidney. For some reason that I still can't fathom today - I turn around and literally ran away. :LOL:

Ah. You must ask yourself, what if?

 

She could've been your wife today. :P

 

Crazy to think how our lives would change if our choices would've been different at the time.

 

Yes, my mind works weird sometimes.

Cheap one.. Are you telling us or asking?

The most awkward question I got was someone asking me if they can buy my eggs from me because they liked my genes and the way I looked. It caught me off guard and made me feel awkward as all hell. I did not know the person, nor have I spoken to them before so you can imagine how confused and off putting it was.

Ouch, I thought I was a bit awkward on the romance side sometimes - but that takes the biscuit! :ROFLMAO:

What transition surgery did you have??

None yet, been trying to save up for top surgery. I have been medically transitioning since 2020 however.

I'm telling you the most awkward question I ever had up until that point in my life. I was like, "Heh, you're serious?" Them: 😐😷

 

...duck walked naked until they told me to stop. 🙃

 

Nobody has explained or told me why I needed to be naked, but I took it twofold: to check for scoliosis and to see if I had any prohibited items tucked up in my "prison wallet" (as surely things would fall out if I did).

I guess you are/were female. Why are you doing that… Are you suffering from any medical illness or doing that because you want to??

It's not too awkward, but a girl I asked out in the past repeated herself two times asking if I knew where she lived. I found it odd considering that a.) we never went out, b.) she had a boyfriend at the time as far as I was concerned, and c.) we didn't get along the best when we worked together because asking her out killed any friendship we could have ever had. When she asked I told her it was none of my business.
