I just say ‘why do you?’ and leave it at that. If they persevere I’ll crack them over the head with a stick of celery

Just tell them you’ve actually gained weight.

If they claim you used to be bigger try to convince them that they were just a bit nearer to you that time.

Had a haircut today. It was the classic questions asking about holidays, working today? any plans for the weekend? Weather’s nice innit? With a good 2-3 minutes awkward silence inbetween. Either be one of those really chatty barbers who goes off on one or pipe down.

It amazes me that people still get upset when you demonstrate that the only way you can answer that question is by implicitly criticising their life choices.

Like, what did they expect?

“God, vegetarians are so holier-than-thou!”

Really? You did just badger me into telling you why I’ve chosen not to to follow your lifestyle…

“Why do you have a Scottish accent when you’re from Wolverhampton?”

“What kind of music do you like?”

What is love? Baby don’t hurt me.

Personally I’ve never seen why this is considered a personal question. I think it’s connected to classism or guilt/stigma about earning touch or too little. Some countries like the UK see it as really rude for others it is an extremely common and accepted question.

I just don’t see where you’d want to go with it though. unless you happen to work in the same industry or in a similar position to me, its not an important or relevant question and i’d certainly question your motives for asking. (not you, figurative you etc.)

But I think that’s just culturally tied to the society we live in. As far as a question that will tell you something about a stranger it’s far more accurate then the normal small talk drival.

I wouldn’t go around asking it or anything but wouldn’t have a problem with someone who did. Particularly if they weren’t English.
