What's the rudest thing someone has said to your face (or overheard by you)?

barongreenback, 15 July, 2008 at 20:37 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 144

Did this a while back and prompted some amusing responses so let's have a new round.

I'll kick off with the young child a few months ago who asked his mum "Mummy, why's that man got such a big tum?" as I was running past. Oh the shame ?

    i think nastiest was when i was a student - was walking down kings road and some total stranger - suited and booted rather than someone who looked like a wandering loon just looked at me and said 'god you're ugly'

    which still upsets me actually

    A kid once shouted to her mother as I walked past 'look at that lady with the big bum'. I pretended I hadn't heard but I think the mother was more embarassed than me.

    When I was at school some little cow face told me people had been saying I needed a facelift. Nice !

    My ex-boss was a horrifically rude woman. Two of the best things she ever said to me are:

    1. "That's a beautiful engagement ring, lovely stone...I can see the inclusions from here though!" You SOOO can't.

    2. " You're very skinny but quick thick in the middle, aren't you?" I was gobsmacked but thankfully a coworker said, "Um, those are curves..."

    The guy at a NYE party who came up to me, patted me on the belly and asked when I was due. I was not. But I threw that dress out the next day.

    The client 'oh you dont look a day over 30'. I was 25.

    To MrP when he said we had replaced our loo with one with a smaller cystern 'a smaller one? what, with the size of your wifes ar$e'

    spot a pattern?

    Blokes yelling from a car "haven't you heard of weight watchers?"

    My hair dresser asking when the baby was due to which I replied "I had him 6 weeks ago."

    I'm sure there are more fat jibes but I try and forget them as the people aren't worth me remembering them.

    Just remembered something a friends son said when he was a little boy.

    They were on a bus they got a lot, and when a woman who regularly used that bus got on too he said "mum, that woman's really ugly"

    and when she told him to shh and that it wasn't nice he said "but she is really really ugly"

    she was abslutely mortified

    Picture the scene...I'm at the check out paying for my shopping and I hand over my credit card.

    Till woman: <looking at my credit card> Isn't a shame?

    Me: <confused expression> Sorry??

    Till Woman: <pointing at card> About your name?

    Me: Pardon??

    Till Woman: You know, she killed all those kids...

    Me: <seriously offended and pissed off and said through gritted teeth> Actually it's a family name!

    Yes, I have the misfortune of sharing the same first name with a child murderer, but it doesn't mean people have to be completely ignorant about it!!!!

    'She dresses really well for a big girl, you'd hardly think she was a fatty at all.' I was a size sixteen at the time and 6ft 1. This was my best friend as well. ***.

    Similar to janeyh's: walking through Baker Street a well-dressed man following me saying "God, you're so fucking ugly, I bet your mother is twice as ugly is she"

    "When are you due?" when my son was 10 weeks old.

    When walking in to my first home (a small 1 bed flat) that I was hugely proud about, my sister looked around and said "well it isn't THAT bad" mmm thanks.

    Some vile bloke once screamed at me in front of my pupil that I didn't know the Highway code and had parked illegally yadda yadda and I really wnated to scream back him (actually I wanted to punch him). He was wrong, I was right but he was ranting so much at me I couldn't get a word in. I felt a right pillock and it bothered me for weeks. In the end I wrote him a letter stating all the points in the highway code and ended it asking him if he would like to brush up on his driving skills to give me a call and I'd give him some lessons.

    On the flip side, an ex friend of mine who was about to be culled, overheard me saying "god, she really pisses me off" as I put the phone down ?. She rung me straight back to tell me what she'd heard so I told her she does piss me off, unbelievably so and maybe we shouldn't be friends any more. Oops.

    A kid on the bus, yelling at a woman who'd just got off: "Oi, fat ***". Mother didn't even blink.

    Two kids on the bus, referring to me as 'it' and asking if I was the cause of the smell on the top deck.

    Overheard somebody saying "and your arse is hanging out" as I was running for the bus. Don't know if it was aimed at me or not.

    Guy at work yesterday (after I'd dyed my hair) "I'd like to say it looks good, but I can't bring myself to say it"

    My mum "Next time I go to Weightwatchers, you can come with me" - and "I'm shrinking, what about you ?"

    I am not sure if others will think the first and second are rude or just me

    first, I had been in hospital for a month, very unwell- I was 15 years old My 'then' best friend came in told me I looked very different, she said I looked beautiful, her mum then took my hand and announced it was because I was preparing myself for God and it wouldn't be long now!!!

    second, my ex boyfriend told me 'if you looked in real life like you do in photographs I wouldn't be with you'

    Third, another 'then' good friend, I lay down and my top lifted up a little revealing one of the scars on my tummy- very loudly she begged me to cover them up as they made her feel sick

    Fourth on a beach in Greece, I was wearing a bikini a woman came up to me and said 'urgh, did you know you have a huge ugly scar down your stomach?!'

    There have been many many more, but sometime I think maybe I am oversensitive.

    When I got on the school bus one of the boys in my year had his back to me and was telling everyone what a a silly cow I was and how I was nothing but a jumped up fat bitch.

    Then my boss called me a stupid bitch both to my face and behind my back.

    Also one day when I was waiting at the GPs and quite upset about why I was there a woman came in and loudly started talking about how much weight I'd put on and how she hardly recognised me because I'd ballooned since she last saw me.

    Also quite recently someone I had just met called me a shit stirrer and attention seeker. Nice ☹️

    "If you lost weight you would be really stunning" said my then BF, who is now my husband.

    Walking into the swimning pool while at secondary school. A group of girls in my class say, "F'ing hell, i never thought she was that fat!"

    Does she really think it's likely that you'd have a scar you didn't know about? "WTF?! Where?! That wasn't there this morning!"

    My SIL saying " I would congratulate you on your engagement but you won't last believe me, you won't" ☹️

    My SIL telling my best mate "I don't know why you are friends with her, she is boring, fat, ugly and unable to have children"?

    Surprise, surprise my SIL again just after we'd moved house "well its ok but not worth £210,000 and no way as nice as ours"

    ETA my BIL "Why would he want to fuck that" to my brother about me and H.

    Some family H has eh !

    Just remembered something else, I was at a friends wedding and whilst in the loo I overheard the grooms sister saying to someone else that she was amazed the marriage had lasted the day.

    I thought that was a bit sad really, especially as she wasn't being the slightest bit discreet about it either.

    Hazel that is pretty much what I did say to her! I then got my own back- I told her the scar had been caused by a shark attack last year at beach we were on, and I had come back to try and get over my fear- she was terrified and refused to go in the sea again for her remaining days at the resort.

    As a 13 year old being asked by a teacher "that looks really bad, were you in an accident?" while staring at my face... covered in spots and scars thanks to teenage hormones. I don't think I even managed to answer, I was so busy willing the ground to swallow me whole! It was after PE and so obviuosly the increased blood flow had made my terrible skin look even worse. ☹️

    My fairly new boyfriend (now Mr FigJam!) did a similar thing the first time we went swimming. I was mortified. It was obviously the first time he'd seen me without make up plus the chlorine would have irritated my skin and made them more obvious.

    Mine are so petty compared to some of you guys though. I'd like to think that even if I wonder or think something, I'd never say it out loud to someone, as I know how awful it is. I won't even ask pregnant ladies about the baby on the off chance I get it wrong, even if they look like they're about to give birth there and then! ?
