Thomas has a point..it's not the first dumb personal question I mind, it's the followup, such as: "Would you mind telling me why you don't care to discuss your spiritual beliefs with a complete stranger who knocked on your door?"

"Yes, I would, thank you. Have a nice day."

Another one, when busking, is: "how much money do you make doing that?"

"Well, about 40K a year plus stock options and a string allowance...how much do you make?"

Enough already.
