50 Awkward Questions That Made People Laugh Uncomfortably

During my interview. I am female. Interviewer was female.

"Are you a breeder or non-breeder? Cuz we just hired a non-breeder and I like to keep the department balanced".

"Does your wife ever bring other women into the bedroom?"

Needless to say, it wasn't a healthy professional environment and I don't work there anymore.

Less than five minutes into a job interview they aggressively started asking if I was gay or not.

"You and your wife aren't planning on having kids soon are you? Because the goals we have here ... I'm not really sure that would work."

I was younger then, I now know how illegal that question is lol.

Was offered a job but turned it down. The place later went on to have many scandals and controversies and is regarded as a complete sh_t place to work.

Old guy 30 years ago: "Do you think the owner is gay? "

Me: "No. Why, are you looking for a date? "

Old guy: "What? No! ".

“Have you ever been with an older woman?”

Asked by a ~40 year old of 16 or 17 year old me. Went over my head that she was hitting on me. She told me I reminded her of her son shortly thereafter, which seriously creeped me out when I reflected on this conversation years later.

“Can I see your underwear?” Said by a licensed mental health professional in her office.

Ive lost count how many times random ppl have asked me about my breast implants.

(I dont have breast implants).

“Was it planned or an accident?”
About my pregnancy. I’m in my 30’s and married. I don’t know why people think this is an appropriate question.

“We want to send you to help with our booth at the Indy 500. Is that something you’d be able to do?…You’ll need to wear a bikini.”

I was the director of market research for a nationwide tire trade publication.

In previous role managing hospital unit, was asked the following:

Did this employee ask the other employee something about their “bun hole”?

Why yes, Employee A did ask Employee B something about their bun hole.

I had to give a verbatim description to a chief nursing officer that an ER tech put his finger in a female nurses hair bun, and then employee said that “he couldn’t NOT put his finger in that tiny little hole”

It was a low point in people leadership.

Movie sets in the 90's and early 2000's were completely different. Everybody said and did whatever popped into their head. Ones I remember: "anybody wanna f**k after we're done?" "dude, is that actress playing the daughter legal?" "can you write a sex scene for me and that blonde girl?" "does anybody have any c*ke?" "you wanna feel my new b**bs?".

"Do you know any gay candidates we can hire and fast?".

My husband and I used to work in the same department at a hospital. My old charge nurse over headed for me to come to the front office then proceeded to ask me how well endowed my husband is. Mind you, she asked me that in front of my husband and about 7 other employees.

Do you plan to start a relationship with any coworkers and would you use a secret of your boss to blackmail them.

"Why does this chat log just consist of the two of you saying balls to each other for the past two weeks?" I don't work there anymore. .

"Have you been r*ped or something?" -a girl i was in college with in the medical field and didn't want her giving me a breast exam.

“I bet you’re one of those quiet guys that f***s like an animal.” On an email on our company server which could be looked at any time, and I’d be surprised if certain words don’t get flagged for HR. Technically a statement but the question was implied. Think she was still married at the time to a guy like 16 years older than her and her at least half that older than me and then later remarried a woman, so while she’s still a friend, I think it’s fair to say I like things less complicated so I politely declined.

(Obligatory manly bravado)…of course she *was* right.

Yeah, I can’t pull off manly bravado.

"What would you do if you got to heaven and found out that God is a woman? "

--The new HR Manager as I was just trying to fix her printer

She wasn't around that place very long.

I had a business owner ask me if I was a Christian as the first question of the phone interview.

Had I been recording and a horrible human being I would have blackmailed him for the job.
