Writer’s Block: How Rude!

What’s the rudest thing you’ve ever asked anyone? And what’s the rudest thing you’ve ever been asked?

I don’t know what the rudest thing I’ve asked someone is. I tend not to ask people too many questions because most people are happy to chat and don’t need much prompting with questions to keep them going.

Which I guess means that my lack of questions could be kind of rude I suppose.

The rudest thing I’ve been asked is “What are you?”. Which is worse than “Where are you from?” because at least the second one implies that I’m human and I can answer it with my hometown, to which people tend to say “No, where are you from?” and I tend to then answer with “England. I’m English.”

After that it tends to go downhill and then they try and rephrase and say “No, where are your parents from?”

I like to answer that one with “They’re British.”

After this I like to suggest “Did you want to know my ethnicity?” because I knew from the beginning that they realise I’m not entirely white but haven’t quite been able to put their finger on exactly what not!white I am.

I am pretty much of the opinion that if you really need to know, then you should at least phrase it right.

If you found a $100 at the library, would you pocket it or turn it in? What about at a diner or pub? Confess!

I’d take it to the local police station. I found a handbag once – fully stocked with purse and various other things that live in handbags and got a nice letter and a cheque for £10 from the woman who had lost it when the police returned it to her.

Which was nice.

Other than that…feeling vaguely dizzy for the last few days so might need to get my eyes checked out to rule that out. Can’t believe it’s September already. :/ I pretty much dropped out of most of my online stuff since my dad died, but I’ve got no idea what I’ve been doing with the rest of the time.

On the plus side, not long before AFI’s new album is out. 😀
