Well standard response are: No I don't have boyfriend because I don't particularly want one and don't know anyone I want to date. I'm just not that into relationships. No I don't want kids. No I'm not a lesbian. Yes I'm sure I'm not a lesbian, I've already told you why I don't have a boyfriend. Also "boyish" hobbies =/= lesbian. It use to be "no I'm not a lesbian and that girl is my cousin and a friend. I walk home with her because she lives one street over." Is it not normal to walk home with people you are friends with? It not like either of us where touchy feely, we didn't hug or hold hands.I don't know why people are so interested in other peoples relationships.
I have resting *****/sad face so I get "are you ok?" a lot from people I don't know. I guess that's nice? but its also annoying.
There is also "is X person on TV your dad?" No, it's a very common last name. It's particularly stupid because it almost always the same two people and one of them would have to have been around 11 or 12 at the time to be my father and the other is very obviously of a different ethnicity than me.
If you are wearing a hospital nurse uniform people seem to want to talk to you on the street. They think you must know everyone in the nearest hospital (its a BIG fucking hospital). They often think something traumatic or personal caused you to want a job in the medical field and ask about that. This is often (not always) true but its not a street side conversation with a stranger topic. If they don't assume it was some traumatic thing that might instead ask you whether you've snagged that doctor yet. Excuse me? no I'm not a whore and my career choice was not a fucking plan to a catch a well paid guy. They don't seem to get what student means and you also get shit like "oh wow you have a huge text book" (we have several in fact) or "is that a lot of study?" Of course it is. They ask you question like whether you've had patients die on you which not a great question to ask someone, especially a student because they probably aren't used to having people die on them and don't want to talk about it with some random. They ask for nitty gritty details of weird cases. I can't tell you this, it's illegal and other peoples health issues are not for your entertainment anyway. I also can't tell you about X person in hospital or look them up for you. For a start I'm a student so I don't have that access and more importantly that is also illegal. If they want you to be informed they would have informed you.
This isn't a question but I get "you look like my daughter" a lot. Apparently I have a generic face.
