For being furious that dh's boss called him a "kiddy fiddler"?

dh came home from work yesterday, very upset, as his boss had been looking through some photos and said, "Look dh, you look like a kiddy fiddler in this one!" apparently she thought it was a huge joke.

as someone who actually has firsthand knowledge of "kiddy fiddlers" i find her comment very upsetting (although she doesn't know my history, obviously) - i don't really think it's something to be joked about, especially not in that context.

so i'm still feeling extremely upset and angry this morning, to the point where i want to email her and tell her what a stupid bitch she is - don't worry, i won't - but i also don't feel like it's any of my business really.

i've changed my name for this as i know she sometimes uses this site, and while i don't care if she knows who i am in RL i don't want her knowing my MN id.

yes Noodle, they obviously all wear a badge with KF on it.

she is the MD of the company so the buck stops there unfortunately.

thats disgraceful, she should def be reported.

maybe she'll read this and realize how incredibly inappropriate that comment was. I would hope she's realize that.

he didn't say anything KM. think he was too shocked. i said he should've picked out a picture of her and "Oh look, in this one you look like a fat saggy bitter bitch, with a poor sense of humour."

it's a small company, so no chance of an HR dept or formal complaint, which is what would usually happen.

And of course all "kiddy fiddlers" look the same.

I think your DH should take this to her boss - she cannot get away with making such comments.

That is appalling bad taste and she should be told ( by your dh at the time preferably) that it's not acceptable and definitely not amusing.
