5.
When in a relationship: "Do you think [friend] is prettier than me?" Or any related question of which you actually don't want to hear the answer to. -u/leonmarino

"When are ya'll gonna break up?" -u/PafflaxTP
11.
“What’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen?” to any EMT/Paramedic/Firefighter….etc. I promise you it’s horrible and not something you’d want to think about. We don’t want to relive those memories, especially so unexpectedly. Ask about something funny instead. You’ll get a better answer. -u/shitscrubber
12.
Are you in yet? -u/jabularich
13.
"Do you have a prettier sister?" -u/paulfromatlanta
14.
What, are you on your period or something? -u/Thibideaux

"Are you going to try again?" Asked after my miscarriage. But at least people stopped asking, "When are you two going to have a baby?" after I miscarried. -u/LadyJedi1286
16.
Why are you so skinny? -u/Aadityajoshi151
17.
Don’t ask a veteran if they killed someone during their time in service. Surprisingly it’s common, please don’t. It’s really insensitive. -u/dover_boi
18.
"Why does your Argentinian grandfather speak fluent German?" -u/Arabeskas
19.
Apparently, a lot of asexuals get asked if they were molested as kids and I don't know on what planet is it okay to ask anyone that. -u/puella_
20.
"Why aren't you drinking?" -u/ShrubberyDragon
21.
“How did he/she die?”particularly if the death was recent. The answer could be something that the family doesn’t want to share…drugs, suicide, etc. If they haven’t brought it up, you shouldn’t, either. -u/sarcastinymph
22.
When are you two having kids? My wife can't have a baby, it's honestly like having someone rip my heart out of my chest whenever we're asked. -u/MFLevel
23.
So am I better than your ex? -u/33Stickers33
