Socially Awkward

For the past two days I have been subjected to full days of Geeks and talk about HTML Code. No Joke -- probably the most boring event I have covered in all my days of TV.
Presentation after presentation - mostly by adult men who look like deers caught in headlights. I find it interesting adults that aren't comfortable presenting to live audiences. It's weird.  Maybe I'm just being mean?

Anyway, the whole goal of this post is to tell you about a conversation with one of these 'Geeks' today.

Geek: Do you have kids?
Dee: No, not yet.
Geek: Really???
Dee: Well, I have only been married less than a year and half.
Geek: WOW! You got a late start!!!
Dee: Yeh, well.. I focused on my career for a long time and had met the right person.
(What I really wanted to say is --you're an a--hole and at least I'm not socially awkward!)

Really kids.  Can you believe that? So rude if you ask me.  And.. NO, I'm not being sensitive.  It's just rude and ridiculous. 
Thoughts?

What a d-bag!
People are so clueless about those types of things. I have an old co worker that would always ask me when we were gonna have kids(bc we waited 5 years after we were married) and I am like shut the f up! What if I can't have kids, what if we're having issues. Stupid people.

oh my word, I could go on and on and on about this topic... but I will stop and just say yes, he is an a-hole. I always think it is amazing how many people think it is THEIR business when you get married and have children... UGH!! my biggest pet peeve EVER!
