“Are you two trying for a baby yet?”

“Not that it’s your business, but I prefer facials to creampies.”

My partner gave the reply "No, we're just practicing", the lady looked horrified. You asked about a near stranger's sex life, lady. I don't know what she expected.

“Hard to get pregnant the way we do it. Pull-out isn’t reliable enough so we go for the poophole loophole.”

Another good one is to horrify them- get quiet and uncomfortable, and say something about how the doctors think you're infertile.

Assuming these are people you just met, of course.

How big is your dick?

This was asked by the daughter of a patient while I was working home health.

She was 14.

I did not go back lol.

My answer was, " ma'am, that's not a question to ask someone, much less an adult you barely know."

Home health can be fun lol.

That's actually a good response, I think I would be stunned by such a question.

"Idk ask your mom"

"Are you always this quiet?"

"It usually takes me some time to be comfortable around new people."

I've found that people are usually quite understanding and make an effort to include you in conversations if you just be honest with them instead of being snarky.

"Is it that you can't have children?"

Reply that never fails: "What was your intention when you asked that question?"

Q: "Do you think you will ever love your adopted son as much as a real parent would?"

Fuuuuuuck you...
