What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

*Anything about my weight, from "Are you pregnant?" to "Don't you think you should lose some weight?"
*Questions about my divorce. Nobody asks why you get married. Everyone wants to know why you're divorcing, presumably so they can assign blame or feel superior. None of your business.
*Getting asked for money. I'm a single mother of three without a retirement plan. I try to be charitable when I can, but...extra money is something I don't really have. If you're a charity doing telemarketing, call millionaires, not me. If you're my college...look: you provided services to me for which I paid A LOT and am still paying for; let's not kid ourselves that it was anything but a business transaction. I don't owe you anything else.
"*How are you doing?" when the asker doesn't actually give a rat's ass how you're doing, they're just making polite conversation.
"Why won't your child behave?" I can't stand having to explain my child's behavior, and or to have questions about it put in such a way as to suggest I'm 100% to blame, or that the assumption right off the bat is that I'm a bad parent. I will certainly work cooperatively with teachers, if they are having issues with my child...however...things need to be broached by the teacher in a way that's not automatically adversarial. And, by the way, I'm not simply just as baffled as you are by what this kid did at school today, I'm also pretty mortified.
"Would you like (x) with that?" Spare me the upsale. I ordered what I want.
"*Would you step into my office, please?" I can't remember any situation when that's ended well.
Loaded questions (one good example listed here, "Do I look fat in this?"

The recent recovery of a baby allegedly sold for a staggering N25 million in Ebonyi State, with the biological mother reportedly receiving only N700,000, has sent shockwaves across Nigeria. This disturbing incident serves as a stark and painful reminder of the rampant issue of child trafficking that continues to plague communities, preying on vulnerability and perpetuating unimaginable harm. According to reports, the swift intervention of the Ebonyi State Government led to the rescue of the infant and the commencement of investigations into what appears to be a deeply entrenched child trafficking ring. The disparity between the alleged selling price of the baby and the meager sum given to the mother highlights the exploitative nature of this illicit trade, where human lives are commodified for exorbitant profits. This case underscores several critical issues. Firstly, it brings to the fore the desperate circumstances that can push individuals, particularly vulnerable women, into ma...
