To have cried because of the delivery driver?

I ordered a takeaway (I’ve not had one in months and there was an offer). The driver said to me “are you tired?” … “… no?” … “well you look really tired”

We all know that means you look like crap. It just fucks me off that people think it’s ok to ever comment on someone’s appearance.

Why would you even care what some low life cretinous deliveroo driver thought of you? I agree it was an immature chat up line - he probably chickened out of some ‘so go to bed with me’ punchline he’d rehearsed in his head. Jeez I’d have laughed and shut the door in his face and thought no more of it.

I'm going to have a wild guess, was it a man?

Sounds like he was trying to be nice to me. Concerned.

Crying? Really?

I’d have just been annoyed and torn him off a strip.

He was rude but not worth crying over.

Not gonna lie @Canwegobacktobegin he probably fancied you and this was his arse-about-face way of chatting you up. One bloke who worked at the place I worked at (when I was 17, MANY years ago,) kept staring at me like a moron, and waving at me. he stared at me once (when I was closeby) and said 'you've got a spot on your nose!' I was like Confused Then later he said 'you have a bit of a big bum!'

Turned out he fancied me and wanted to go out with me, and had had a crush on me for several months. Fucking weird way to show it! I didn't fancy him, and he knew it when I started dating someone else, and told his mate to get him to stop staring at me and badgering me. He left me alone then, thankfully!

Why would he ask that? Weird question to ask a stranger.
How would he know what you usually look like? Understandable if you opened the door mid yawn.
When people ask me if I'm tired, I usually am tired or cold, I don't assume that they think I look crap.

What a cheeky twat! I would’ve said something like “and you look like Brad Pitt and your tip money is going back in my purse”.

Ignore him op. Why do people seem to think they’re entitled to comment on women’s appearance?

Please ignore ignorant twats like that.
