Nah, I'm just used to being talked about in the third person, both when there's no doubt that I'm hearing them---unless they think I'm deaf or I can't understand their language, or I'm just too dumb to grasp the concepts they're using---and when they
might or might not genuinely believe I'm out of hearing range.

The prize winning insult would have to be my mother telling me they only had my brother and myself because they didn't know how not to get pregnant in the 1950s/60s.
Oh, but they did know---abstinence worked just fine. So the real message is, "We weren't going to forgo sex just because we could have an unwanted baby or two and then treat them like crap because we don't want them". It also provides a nice rationale for making sure you don't get to go out with anyone of the opposite sex till as late as possible, and don't even mention to do anything sexual with them.
