Yesterday I went for drinks with some friends as one of them was turning 30.
She is a lovely girl, but has a friend who is a passive agresive bitch and brought her. No one likes her, but she is part of the package. Best friends since school with our common friend and all that...
Anyway, she always has so many "nice" compliments for us. They are terribly offensive, but said in this passive agresive way.
I don't get easily offended and found them even funny. My friends and my husband always comment them after and have a good laugh trying to make then even worst. Passive agressive style, of course...
That's how much they affect me/us.
And I was wondering, as I suppose everyone has one friend/relative/coworker like this, what is the funny way one of this "compliments" has been directed to you or have you witnessed?
I leave you some of the jewels from yesterday.
To me:
"I think you're great. My boyfriend is pestering me about kids, and I keep telling him no way, it destroys you. No time for the gym or make up, no money or figure for clothes, no sleeping... it will kill me to see myself like this!! And then there you are, and you're happy abour it and making the best of it. Good for you!"
To one of our friends whos is clearly overweight and has been since she was a kid and has decided that she will dress like she wants to and not like she is expected to and was wearing a probably too short skirt with a matching probably too stretch top.
"You are my hero. My hero. I never dare to wear white. You know, it can easily add a few pounds and you need to be really skinny to make it work. Silly me, I'm full of complexes, I know. But you don't care about these things, you are so confident to leave the house like this, and don't care about what anyone thinks of you."
So, passive agressive bitch, anyone?
