What's the most rude thing anyone has ever said/done to you?

[gail734]

OK, I know it's not really an AIBU, but it features people being definitely U! I was just putting on some eyeshadow (as you do) and I remembered this: a) years ago, I was in a noisy pub and drunk man said to his wife, "Look at this girl, isn't she lovely?" His wife looked right at me and said, "She would be if she'd learn to do her eye makeup right." Still no idea what was wrong with my eye makeup, so presumably am still making the same terrible mistake!

b) I once went on a very short taxi journey and the fare was £5. I gave the taxi driver £5.50, ie a 10% tip. He looked down at it and said, (I kid you not) "That's not much of a tip." I just went, "Thanks! Bye!"

c) My boyfriend gave me a pair of earrings for my birthday. I said to my friend, "Oh, I see you're looking at my earrings. DP gave me them for my birthday." "Is that ALL he gave you?" "Yes. They ARE real." (They were pearls.) She then said, "Oh. They don't LOOK real."

d) I was once flashed at. A proper, open-up-your-brown-raincoat flash. I was about 23, and it was right in the centre of the city, in broad daylight. The thing was, the flasher was a bit of an amateur and got the timing wrong. He let me get too close to him before opening up the raincoat. I didn't look down, so I didn't see anything. Still rude though. Or am I being over-sensitive?

Recently, at a party, a young guy came over and said how lovely my kids are. Glowing with pride, I smiled and refrained from saying anything for fear of being seen as, well, a bit smug, leaving him to finish with ' They don't look anything like you, at all, do they?'
At the same party, my husband was saying that our son is quite good at maths and a friend turned round and said 'Oh, he must get that from his father's side of the family?!' Obviously, being a barely literate or numerate troglodyte, I don't get asked out a lot....

[carabos]

I have two:
Former colleague once asked me if I had ever considered having a makeover. I said no. She asked why not so I said because I wasn't unhappy with the way I looked. She said "Really?".

My 95 year old nana, who I don't see more than a couple of times a year, said "Oh dear, you aren't so pretty now, you look just like your sister". Got both of us with one strike .

[TheWheelies]

"..and I don't actually like you very much."

[CleansLate]

I had three miscarriages in a row and was in an absolute pit of depression. Had put on a lot of weight since being on ADs but really didn't care, was just trying not to completely crack up.

Was at my mum's house, can't remember why. My sister was there too and she was talking about the parties she'd been to, getting drunk at a club the night before, we were laughing and joking about stuff we'd done while pissed in the past.

I said "I haven't been out for ages", and my mum said "because you're so fat?"

I just started to cry. My sister drove me home.

And my dad told me that I wasn't ever going to be a good mother and I should put DS1 up for adoption.

I've had a lot of rude things said/done to me but the ones from family hurt the most for longest I think.

First proper boyfriend said "you do know your not that pretty don't you?"
I said "yes I know"

[bringbacksideburns]

I got a few working in a bar when i was on the skinny side as a student.
"I shall start calling you Annie - after Anorexic." (and he did. Wanker)

A friend of a friend was quite a lot older than the rest of us and went through a phase of coming out with us (group of single girls in early 20's) following her divorce. I'd dress up for the night and she would say "Every time i see you, you look thinner and thinner. Don't you ever eat?" She was quite a nice woman apart from this but what really pissed me off was she was a dead ringer for Aveline from Bread and would usually have a leopardskin boob tube on and day glo make up.

When I was 15, a boy I'd just started dating invited me to his house one afternoon. It was a dauntingly impressive house, he was very 'well to do' and at the time I was very obviously not iyswim.

Went through to the empty front room and were joined by his mum who looked me up and down and sniffed 'have a seat'. I looked around, saw the nearest chair and sat down.

'Actually I was just sitting there' said his mum. There was nothing, no half drunk cup, no pile of knitting, no half finished crossword to indicate that there was a recent occupant who may want to re-sit.

I had to stand up and shuffle to another one, while she left the room and went back to whatever it was she was really doing.

Such a small thing, but I recognised straightaway that it was a clear message that I wasn't welcome in her home. Cunt

[SuzySheepSmellsNice]

PacItInNow you are my hero and I luffs you :)

[DingDongErrorlyOnHigh]

Me [in a shoe shop picking up various pairs]: I'm not sure I like these boots.
'Friend': Is it because you can't get into them with your huge calves?

Me [expressing my wish to be a mother in future and/or work with kids]
'Friend': Well I'll be a high-flying businesswoman while you're still changing shitty nappies!
(I don't have kids yet, but she works in a shop and is nowhere near a businesswoman, but it was still bloody rude!)

'Friend': Your dad looks like a paedophile.

'Friend': If you tried a little harder with your appearance, you'd look okay.
(only OKAY!?!? lol)

Yes, all the same 'friend', and we are no longer friends!!

[bringbacksideburns]

Oh and years ago i was working in a large department store. A woman came in who thought she was something really special because apparently she was married to some Sports personality. A forerunner to the Wag. Everyone was falling over backwards to get her what she wanted, shoes from lower floors etc whilst she huffed and puffed in a changing room.
They hated her but knew she spent a fortune.

She tried on a dress that did nothing for her and asked me what i thought. I made the number one retail no no and politely suggested another one that suited her better. She stood there, looked me up and down from down her nose and then said very snottily "Why am i asking you? What do you know..."
Ooh she was a sweetheart

[E320]

My mother: "I was furious when I found out I was expecting you, I never wanted to be anyone's mother"
I have 2 younger siblings.
My mother again: " I didn't make too much fuss about your wedding, because, after all, you were living together."
I was 41 when I got married & she was very keen to come to the wedding when she thought it was going to be somewhere exotic (my father was not and moved heaven and earth so that he could give me away - he felt it was his duty, despite having done it for my sister and for his cousin).

[AndWhenYouGetThere]

" My dad introducing me and my sister- me as the clever one and her as the pretty one (theres 5 years worth of therapy material right there) "

• Wishful makeupping
  

My mum used to do the same when introducing my sister and I, followed by "but DSis is just as clever too"... Great. There's the clever AND pretty one, then just the clever one.

[Crumblingslowly]

I had recently been diagnosed with Crohn's disease & had just come out of hospital.When i told a neighbour she retorted "you should be grateful that your husband is still staying with you".....

[HairyGrotter]

Oooft some of these deserve a bit of 'Grotter' magic comebacks. Cunts!

An ex said to me, about a photo of when I was lying on the slab having just had my baby delivered by c-section after 7 days of trying to have her naturally via induction, said "Ooo I think you look awful there, I couldn't fancy you if I met you then".

Following a swift fuck off, the door fully whacked him on the arse on the way out. Cunt.

[AlmostAChristmasHipster]

Years ago, in a pub ladies loo, I got chatting to a couple of women. One said that she recognised me from a Tesco cafe, where I'd take my kids for lunch after swimming, but that she had thought I was a prostitute as I always wore make up!

Her friend thought I was going to chin her but I'd had a few so just laughed.

It made a nice change from the 'oh you'd look lovely if you lost a stone' snipes I've had all my life only now it's more like several stone :(

[HairyGrotter]

Ah see, I always used to get the 'Oh, you have such a pretty face' line (which was clearly followed by a silent "it's a shame you're so fucking fat") then lost 4 stone, and now all I get is bitchy comments about being stuck up my own arse?!

Can't fucking win

[AlmostAChristmasHipster]

True that, Grotter. I once lost five stone and met some online friends who'd been brilliantly supportive whilst I was dieting. One saw me at the bar, looked me up and down and completely blanked me! Never said a word to me all weekend!

She's nice to me now I've put the weight back on!

[MrsTwinks]

my mum is the queen at this, like just plain nasty. This will likely out me but my all time favourite was proclaiming loudly I'd put on weight since she'd seen me, when infact I'd lost two stone.

Another perfect one was her birds and bees talk. It was basically men are evil and shouldn't be trusted. I trusted your dad to not get me pregnant and you happened so don't believe them. I was 12 I mean WTF!?!

[HairyGrotter]

Some folk take offence at you being proud of your achievements...I tend to play up to their 'ideal' of me.

I'm proud of losing that weight, I like how I look, nowt wrong with it. Jealously etc. I've had friends lose loads of weight and I've been so happy for them, not one part of me thinks 'Bitch'. Nasty folk about.

Still need to lose 2 stone though chin chin

[JoInScotland]

My ex-FIL on my wedding day, just before we set off for the church.... handed me some gift (I can't remember what now) and then followed it up with, "Well it ought to last at least until the divorce!" I was 23 and in a foreign country with none of my family with me.

[FoxyRevenger]

At a wedding a random guest told me my style was obviously 'shitty chic.'

She's turned up to the wedding in fucking jeans.

[JamieandtheMagiTorch]

The rudest people have been to me has been on here.

[pingu2209]

My old neighbour asked me

"will you be going back to work when your youngest starts school?"

I responded, "perhaps but it is difficult to do the job I did within the hours of childcare available."

She looked surprised and asked "what did you do in the past?"

I explained, "I worked in financial services marketing."

My neighbour (who doesn't like me) replied, "oh I just assumed you left school at 16".

Massive put down leaving me seething for the past 3 years about it! I don't bury my bones deeply.

[BarceyDussell]

Oh, the shabby shit remark just made ne remember going out for a drink with one of my housemates at uni and calling at the house of one of his friends (who I didn't know) to invite her to the pub.

Walking to the pub she says to him, very loudly, "so who's this square bitch you've brought out with you then."

That was very rude but never bothered me in the slightest. Better a square bitch than a fucked up rude little madam
