Thank you. That will be reserved for the very nicest of inquiries from strangers and mere acquaintances. Friends and family already know my position and wouldn’t ask such a question.
I still find it extremely offensive that anyone thinks they have the right to any information about my health or private life. The best way to make that point might be to ask an extremely intrusive question about them. My reasoning is that if they’re that oblivious to the inappropriateness of their question, then they’re going to need a sledgehammer-style reply to clue them in. I’m operating on the premise that most reasonable people already know the question is wrong.
Anyone giving a polite or not-so-polite answer of “MYOB” or their favorite intrusive question in return will be automatically assumed to not have been jabbed, just because it’s the ones who have been jabbed who are the most eager to stick that fact in everyone’s faces, whether or not they were asked.
I agree completely. I think what I was driving at was people need to hear MYOB much, much more than they currently do. It always shut me up when I was a kid and got too nosy.
