Many, many, many times I came up with a response to an overly nosy question or unprovoked snarky remark way to late.

There are intances where people would interrogate me about whom I was dating if anybody or trying to fix me up with somebody for their own amusement.  I don't mind genuine conversations with friends, but when people whom I don't normally associate with do that type of thing, it annoys me to no end.

My response to those people should have been "I assume your are prying into my personal life because your own love/dating/sex life is so boring/non-existant".

Another incident at work a long time ago made me mad.  It was a work meeting and I was with some people I don't normally assiociate with, a woman about my age (25 at the time) I'll call E and a married man in his early 40's that I will call M.  Our office is small, but I find I don't click with either M or E.  I mentioned it was cold in the room we were in and E blurts out "why don't you snuggle with M" and smirks at him to which M gives a disgusted look and "no way".  At the time I was in shock at both there juvinille behavior and didn't know what to say.  After the incident, I found myself wishing I had said to E, "I only have interest in availible, intellegent, classy men, but you two should snuggle, you'd be perfect for each other."  Although it would have been great to say that and put them in their places, especially E for making the stupid comment, I am glad I didn't, therefore proving myself to be much classier.
