“When are you going to retire?”
What people hear: “You’re old. You’re no longer adding any value to the workplace.” When and how a person decides to retire is a personal choice, based on various, personal factors. Whether it’s money, social interaction or staying active, it’s none of your business, and it definitely isn’t something to bring up in a conversation.
Have you ever made someone feel uncomfortable without realizing it at the time? Or have you also been at the receiving end of an inappropriate question or unsolicited advice?

I’ve had all those things said to me. That’s all the liberal woke anti-white left who cheated on this past election have in their vocabulary
Yes, in the past I’ve been insensitive but have gotten much better; more sensitive, as I’ve gotten older and I am and reaching the end of my natural life. I didn’t find all 11 things but will try to not insult and/or hurt other people.
Not even worth responding to.
These are terrible and I would never say any of them to a friend or to someone! Maybe some people would, and I have been asked how much money do I make and how much I am worth. My response is not enough!
This was the funniest comeback I’ve ever heard. My friend was contemplating buying a Christmas sweater and was holding it out in front of her. Another customer grabbed it out of her hands, saying “this will look better on me.” My quick witted friend replied, “only if you lose 10 pounds.” This is just meant to give you a chuckle.
Yes, this is very offensive. “…think I care…?” has been said to me.
Yes, I’ve had this said to me; especially if I’ve stood up for those of other races; poverty-stricken and etc.
I’ve asked people this but they’re usually of an age to do that and. I don’t remember asking young people except in cases re ability to retire if it comes up. I hope I’ve never insulted anyone w/this question, but the topic is widespread for workers especially if they hate their jobs.
I don’t recall this conversation. If someone is a clerk saying they want to be an attorney; I think I’ve said nothing but have met clerks who passed the entrance exam for law school. Because I’ve suffered so much attempting to improve myself educationally; hoping for a better career but been denigrated, I’ve tried to be sensitive about what I say.
It depends on the context it’s in. It’s all right to say that; for instance, if your boss or even other employees you’re assigned something give you an easy assignment and you; all of you, say it should be easy.
