I already ranted about this but I'll reiterate it because it bothered me so much.
I went to have my wisdom teeth removed and the lady sat me down with my dad and said there were a few routine questions...
I'm 19 years old mind you.
She asked me if I was on Birth Control in front of my dad and I grudgingly said yes. His response was well she's an adult. We both politely have ignored the issue. (My parents are very traditional) I should of said something right then and there. She kept asking one question over and over which really pissed me off. "Is it possible you could be pregnant?" Apparently they needed to know because it might be affected by the anesthesia. I might even call them up and say something I'm still oh so bothered.

I've got one better. When I was getting some blood work done with my mom on her health insurance, I told them I thought I should get tested since I'd just been with someone who wasn't fully monogamous (something she kind of already knew about). The only reason I even admitted that we'd had sex was that we'd had a pregnancy scare.
Anyways, so they draw blood, and the lady asks me "When did you last have unprotected sex? How many partners have you had?"
I was 19, and I'd broken up with the only girlfriend my parents knew I had four months earlier. The answers were 'two months' and 'six'. I've never seen my mom turn a more interesting color. She never spoke of it again.
