Relationship Status Is The Most Taboo Topic In The Workplace

"How much do you weigh?" is never really an appropriate question in the workplace, unless your workplace is a boxing ring. "How old are you?" isn't so OK after your 20s. "Who are you voting for in 2012?" can be a little touchy, and "Is Jesus Christ your personal savior?" is best kept to your leisure time. But out of all the potential uncomfortable subjects for water cooler banter, "Are you dating anyone?" is apparently the worst.
