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

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 ?

    My best friend (a term used loosely to describe the person i have been friends with the longest) who made the following comment about my H

    "He's so nice, make sure you keep a hold of him, he's much better than anyone ever thought you'd get"

    When I was about 17 I went to a football match with my boyfriend. I was wearing one of his Coventry City shirts. As we walked to Highfield Road (the then home ground) some guy was sat on a wall and called out 'nice shirt!'

    In this new found cameraderie of being a 'fan' I turned to smile at him - just as he was following it up with 'shame about the face' ?

    It was just some twattish 'joke', but it really hit me at the time. I think because I felt stupid too, and naive. He was an ugly bugger anyway ?

    Oh - and my mother calling my boyfriend 'scum' when I announced I was moving in with him. That might sound mild, but in our house, that was huge. We didn't speak for 10 years after - though not simply over that comment.

    A classic from now very much ex husband.

    A week after having a baby he said to me "I won't fancy you until you get back down to the size you were before we were married." Nice hey!

    I've got more up my sleeve from him. Oh and tons from my very stuck up, stupid ass SIL who I avoid with a passion! I would say some of the stuff but she's not worth the time on the keyboard!

    The year before I took my GCSEs, my mum said to me: "Since GCSEs are getting easier, I expect you to get straight As"

    I get the children telling their Mummy's to look at my big tum. Brats. Adults make some sort of comment about my face being pretty, shame about my body. Twats.

    When Mr ID decided he didn't love me anymore it took me about 3 weeks to break the news to my Mum and Dad...I told them on the phone to stunned silence. A week later I went to visit them and clearly Mum had been trying to work out what might have happened.

    M: "What happened?"

    ID: "I don't know"

    M: "There must be a reason"

    ID: "I suppose - he won't talk"

    M: "Well, what have you done? You must have done something?"

    <sigh>

    Do we have the same mother? In my case it was my A-levels. AABC and I got 'what a shame abut the C....if you had gone to the college I wanted you to (an argument from 2 years earlier) I am sure you would have done better'

    When I graduated with a 2:2 I got 'is that all?' I was pretty devastated myself...I struggled to get even that (would have changed courses if I could have) and a bit of encouragement would have been nice.

    some fishwife and her husband started screaming at me over a parking space when I was out with my son when he was only a tiny baby. Basically I'd reversed into a space n the road in front of them and got my pram out, and they turned up and started screaming at me that I'd left them no room to get out - when I pointed out that I'd managed to get the boot open and my pram out so there was plenty of room they called me a cnut and a fc uking fat ***. I responded with what I'll post on the rudest things you've ever said thread shortly ?

    I was out picking up my parents from somewhere and one of their friends said I was looking good, my mum said "no she doesn't she's a fat b@stard". Nice.

    I don't know about the rudest, but the most upsetting things were hearing that my mum blames her depression on my size 18-ness, having her say to me that my PND would go "if you'd just get off your fat arse and do something occasionally".

    Oh, and my dad saying about a man who attempted to rape me "well, you should be glad he fancied you"

    The "you ugly ***" type comments from randoms pale into insignificance beside those ?

    Frigging hell, PL, those are awful.

    In a similar vein, Mr A told me the other week that "after everything he had to put up with from me during my pregnancy" - TTTS, laser treatment of babies in utero as one was pretty much written off as being as good as dead, extreme hyper-emesis all the way through pregnancy, to extent had 5 days in hosp on a drip to rehydrate, babies born 2 months premature, littlest one contracting NEC which is lethal to tiny babies, finding out bigger one has Spina Bifida etc etc etc - he'd apparently have left me if I'd suffered from PND. He was joking, but it really, really hurt me, especially as I was struggling with coping with the girls being ill and having time in hospital with both of them.

    Hey ho.

    Oh at a family gathering when asked how uni was going my little sister announced she'd overheard my parents saying I'd be useless in the real world and never able to hold down a proper job.

    Nice. But probably true ☹️
