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

Oh and this summer at a wedding a friend of DH's said 'Oh Fiery, you're looking good. Given that you only had DS2 a few months ago.'
Classics from my mother include
"you know, everyone always said your sister was the pretty one but you're getting there yourself now."
"You're going out with your friends when you could be seeing 'then boyfriend'. You want to be careful, he's too good for you"
(He's now my stbXh as he couldn't keep it in his pants, no wonder really is it )
Best one on here - being told I probably had cunt aids. In her defence I think it was her idea of a joke but seeing as though I'd lost a friend the week before to HIV I didn't find it particularly funny.
Leaving a pub after 'pulling' a man I'd liked for what felt like years, his brother came up to us and said 'For fuck's sake, if you just want a shag fine but at least chose someone decent not her '
still feel a bit sick about it now, 20 years later. No idea why he said it, I didn't know him and back then I was a nice, pretty young thing too. Not that if I hadn't been that would be any reason for him to say it anyway...
rather a lot of these are about weight and looks aren't they and addressed from men to women 
After a year of going out with a guy his Mum asked very loudly asked "what happened to that NICE girl you used to go out with?". She was a complete snob and looked down her nose at me, then she visited my parents house once and changed her tune

My friend at Uni introducing me to her friend. It wasn't a set-up or anything like that, no romantic interest, merely an introduction as we were both there at the same time
Friend: "this is my friend, Kitsmummy"
Idiot: "sorry, you're not my type"
Me in a bar about 20 yrs ago.

Barman "diet coke?"

Barman "ice?"

Barman to other barman "do we have any diet ice?"
Other barman "no no 'till next week"
Me
