To think that this was rude

[bonnyisfat]

Today I was wearing a tunic and leggings and was standing waiting for a bus when a lady stood behind me and loudly said 'OOH look at them bonny legs'

Would you have wanted to tell her to shut up? So embarrassing and rude.

Oh for gods sake , seriously ???

It wouldn't have bothered me tbh. I can't get worked up about things like this.

Maybe she thought you were the Mad March Hare and said 'bunny legs'?

Are you older than 6 months. If so yes it was bloody rude.

YABU
Nothing wrong with having attractive legs.

Yep rude. You dont comment on someone's appearance.

Well as long as it was Bonny and not Bandy, I wouldn't really care

Was she definitely talking about you?

Was she with someone else? Maybe she said "Oooh look at them Bonny....legs!".

Maybe her friend is called Bonny and really likes legs.

Well if you thought she was out of order why didn't you tell her? I'm sure it wasn't meant maliciously and your user name rather indicates that you've misunderstood the word anyway.

Are you sure she was talking about you, OP?

It's a compliment..what's to get wound up about?

Stealth boast? Or maybe she was saying boney legs

No, that's called a compliment. The opposite of rude.

I'd call that a compliment and be delighted.
There's no pleasing some people

As per your username, do you think she was calling you fat?

Hmm, she said oooh look at those lovely legs? Bonny is scots, I think, and is a compliment.

Yes, YABstupidlyU to be upset by a compliment.

She was DEFINITELY talking to me. I'm afraid I did find it rude, although I wasn't rude in response - just smiled weakly as I found it quite mortifying to be honest!

'Bonny' is to me definitely a 'nice' way of saying fat.

Yeah well shockingly I don't want anyone commenting on my legs but they are not lovely. At all.

YADBU!!!

stealth boast...

Bonny is a compliment. Unless she actually said "bony" and there was a typo in your OP.
