Worst accidental insult you've had?

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

I'm massively busy just now and on the train yesterday I was going through everything in my head, sort of a planning conversation with myself. A woman opposite asked if I was ok and when I asked why she said I was nodding my head a lot. Clearly answering myself in my head! We laughed about it and a woman across the aisle said "when you get to our age you start talking to yourself." I asked what her age was and she said 64.

I'm 42.

A friend- "I bought this top for me, but it's far too big so I thought you'd like it."

I was a size 10 at the time...I think she meant well...

I had a size 16 friend passing stuff on to size 12 me, too!

I complained my feet were killing me post long ddog walk one day to my friend..
Friend has no legs.
I wanted to die.

A shop assistant guy asked me to move my face mask so he could see my face (I was buying a bottle of wine) then said "oh, you looked really young with your mask on".

I've died 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry

You look great in that dress.

I didn’t realise they made them in
your size.

I was putting make up on one morning and my blundering idiot of a husband said " why are you putting that on, you are ugly enough as you are". I laughed and said would he like to rephrase his last comment, before he ended up under the patio !!!

It took him a good few try's at saying it before the penny finally dropped and the look of utter shock on his face had me hurrying to the toilet (i'm of the age that a laughing fit requires a trip to the loo).

This is one that gets repeated when he says stupid things (it happens quite a bit) so I have a few belters to use.

I’ve offered to lend a hand… to someone who has no use of one hand 😬 it didn’t
occur to me that the phrase could be offensive to someone disabled… they took it in VERY good humour thankfully.

Kill me now!

I have two!
I used to make all my own clothes when younger. She bought me a length of fabric to make a dress in gorgeous, muted, autumnal colours. She said ‘ I hope you don’t think it is drab, but I thought it was just you’ !, 😂
it was the 1960s and in my first job. I was wearing a shortish skirt as was the fashion at the time (only just above the knee) when a colleague came up and told me my skirt was too short as ‘we can’t wear skirts that short at our age’. I was 17 - she was 34!

I had recently, you look even better from the back. 😐

A friend was telling me about how she used to go to Scottish slimmers many years ago. I was thinking about going how to lose weight and she said 'oh yes I was really big back then, not as big as you though'!

She was a size 16 after losing weight and I was an 18 before

'Wow Tin, you look very feminine today!' I always wear make up, do my hair, usually live in skirts and dresses - the rest of the group of friends I was meeting also looked a bit confused!

One of my relatives wanted to give me some of her old clothes. "We're the same size, they'll fit you".
She was a size 16 and I was size 8 at the time.

I rarely dress up and one the odd occasion I did, DS2 told me I look weird. He meant to say different but weird is what he came out with.

My gran told me I had lovely legs, "just like your grandads". My grandad was a rugby player.

When meeting a client, I had previously spoke to on the phone, said oh you look much prettier than you sound.

When I was younger I used to often get told I looked like Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones, so far so good. I was out one night and a woman came up to me and told me I looked like that blond woman from the TV so I nodded and told her I got that a lot. Then she said, yeah you know, whatshername…. That Vicky Pollard!

my friends just about died laughing, I was not so impressed!

“ You really suit the extra weight on your face!”
Brilliant, thanks!

I got 'cooda your nearly as thin as me eeek'.
Wtf? Still annoys me.

I was introduced to an old friends new partner - he said .. here’s Darcy101 she used to be really gorgeous 😱

"Id never gave the guts to wear clothes like you do...id look like mutton dressed as lamb"

She's two years younger than me lol

My 4 yo ''mummy, are you a boy or a girl?"
I replied "a girl"
" oh" he said, a bit confused. " but you look like you've got a boy's face"

Bumped into a work colleague in town, she had only seen me in uniform at work. She said 'You look really different....you look nice!"

Man at work when I was about 5 months pregnant: "I didn't know you were pregnant."
Me: "Did you not notice the bump?"
"I just thought you were a big girl."

I once used the phrase 'the blind leading the blind' in front of a blind woman i felt awful.

Some one told me my legs weren't that fat, at the bottom

When I said to my nephew that I was upset when my fil asked my if I was pregnant (no I wasn’t)

my nephew said “You don’t even look that fat”

A new gp thought I was dcs grandmother, I was early 30s.
