friends and relatives.

2. Question you should never ask:

What are you?

This question has more to do with how you ask it. If you’re curious about
someone’s ethnic background, it’s OK to ask. Just be polite about it. Instead of
asking, “What are you?” or “Where did you come from?” just ask, “What is
your heritage?”
How much money do you make?
It’s none of your business, so don’t ask. If you do choose to discuss salary,
you’ll set yourself up for jealousy and competition. If you find out your co-
worker makes more than you do, you’ll be tempted to march into your boss’
office and ask for a raise. However, no matter how much your co-workers say
they make, you’re likely working with incomplete information.
How much do you weigh?
Are you running a weight-loss program? Unless the question is related to your
job, keep your curiosity to yourself. And if your co-worker has an obvious
weight issue, this is just rude. For all you know, he or she could have an
underlying health issue or an eating disorder. Don’t make assumptions based
on someone’s appearance.
How old are you?
Some people are really sensitive about their age. If your co-worker looks very
young, they might think you’re questioning their experience. If your co-worker
looks like they’re about to breathe their last breath, you’ve just called them
old. Just stay far away from the age question. It usually doesn’t end well.
