What's the rudest thing to happen to you?

[Stardust1901]

Inspired by another thread.

WIBU to ask what's the rudest/cheekiest thing that's ever happened to you e.g. In a supermarket, in the cinema etc.
How did you respond?

Bloody hell muddleoffeelings
Did you report it at all?

These accounts are getting worse.

My first saturday job was in a bakery where another member of staff had the same name as me. I was a nervous wreck, I had an abusive childhood and was constantly told I was stupid, so this made me shy and unsure of myself. The first day all the other staff were running around doing useful things and I was just stood there feeling like an idiot and completely embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. Then I spotted a big tray of tins of soup over by the front door and thought I'd move them into the kitchen, just so I was doing something. I had just picked them up when the manager said "Middle, they're holding the door open".
A few weeks later a co-worker (who was foreign) said in front of most of the staff "where's beautiful middle?" Everyone laughed and someone said "who's beautiful middle?" The co-worker pointed at me and said "stupid middle" then pointed towards the girl with the same name as me and said "beautiful middle". Everyone started laughing. As she was foreign I don't think she realised what she was saying but was just repeating what she had been told.
I think my heart broke a bit that day and I'll never forget the feeling of sadness as I realised they were saying what I had been told almost daily at home. I'll never forget it.

my mum had much the same experience in a side street in manchester. man revvung his engine and saying move outof the window which my mum didnt hear then he beeped his horn loudly and scared my mum half to death and shouted are you f#####g death? to which my mum replied as a matter of fact i am. he said well you should wear a sign saying so..... to which my mum replied well you are a w####r but you dont wear a sign saying so do you? my mum is quiet and polite 99% of the time but when someone is being that rude and disrespectful she cant help herself

Years ago I was travelling alone. Waiting in a very quiet check in queue I got to the front and it was my turn when a father, mother, adult son and his gf barged in front of me. When I protested (not particularly rudely) I was told they're travelling business. The check in staff said that's fine and made me wait. Later at the customs queue, we met again and the appalling son snarls at me 'I know what your problem is, you've never been fucked'. I was so shocked and a man behind me asked me if I was ok. The queue carried on winding and I met them again. I gained some confidence and simply said to his mother 'im sorry about what happened earlier but what your son said to me just now Is unforgivable. You must be so ashamed that your son speaks to women in that way.' She didn't respond but I saw the hurt in her eyes. I spent the rest of the evening in the toilet crying until I boarded my plane. I was so thankful to be in economy away from them!

My partner, dd and I were visiting the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC last year.

Like any museum, there are lots of glass cases filled with artifacts, pictures and documents. One of the glass cases was quite low - and it's position and the size of the writing - plus the fact that we are both shortsighted - meant that my partner and I had to stoop down to read the exhibit's label. It probably also meant that we were reading quite slowly.

All of a sudden, I heard a woman behind me complaining that they couldn't see the exhibit in question because we were in the way and asking us to move. As she did this, she had this supercilious look on her face and smiled to the rest of her party. She reminded me of one of those Mean Girls.

If it had been anywhere else, I would have carried on reading even more slowly and told her to get lost. Instead we meekly moved on and I felt humiliated.

sorry my post was for Soubriquet but it didnt show up

I've told this story here before.
I worked in a hotel in the 90's and refused to grant a late bar at a function. They were all pissed up, but one of them started being a cunt 'my dad earns more in a day than you do in a year'

Couple of hours later, I was leaving to go home and he came over to the car and knocked on the window - I opened it thinking he was going to apologise. He spat in my face and walked off.

I was 22 then. Now I'm 46 and would knock him the fuck out.

Old lady in Bromley High Street was struggling across the road (on a bit where all the buses used to swing around the corner at top speed). I asked her if she would like any help and got an earful of abuse and foul language.

No - I was young and terribly messed up about the whole thing. I've gone on to have a very happy life and am lucky that I have much to be grateful for. I will never forget that moment though and sometimes that damaged 19 year old comes out. I wish I could tell her that things will end up, by and large, ok xxxx

Less than 24 hours after giving birth to my first child and encountering a repair job for a third degree tear, I was visited by my family in hospital. My mother's first words were...'you've still got your belly then'.
Yes, my mother.

I was at the supermarket and had just started to unload my trolley when a woman rushed over pushed in front of me and said rudely "I was here first." Nothing left on the counter. I was so,shocked by her rudeness that I didn't know how to respond. She must have been quite well off as she had boxes of quail eggs and other expensive groceries. I think she may have been an attention seeker, she kept looking at me when she was emptying her basket as though she was waiting for me to do something. Mentally deranged maybe?

Wow some of these stories beggar belief - cruel to the extreme. Either I have lead a sheltered life or just been very lucky, the only comments I have had have been a bit cheeky or sarky, nothing too upsetting, but my God some of the stories here are absolutely vile, I am really shocked. I just can't comprehend why anyone would get pleasure from inflicting such pain on another person, it's just not normal. They are the ones with the problem, they are just too screwed up to see it. At the end of the day, I suppose you have to pity them, horrible, disfunctional, unhappy people that they are.

Sister (not ds) yelled at me in front of all the guests at her wedding for not recording her husband badly singing some stupid song.

When I was 9 months pregnant same sister visited me and took a picture of me wearing my robe in the morning. After she went home she sent an email around to everyone we know including me with the picture attached saying look how fat she is!
I could write a book on her..

My last boss sneezed on me, it wasn't spontaneous, he knew it was coming 😖

I told a friend I wouldn't be able to make it to a fitness class we usually go to together because I had an appointment to see a counsellor as I had been feeling depressed.

She replied 'so I'm dumped because of your poor scheduling?'

And another one from me...
In my first year of marriage we were eating in an outdoor restaurant on holiday in Greece. I suddenly felt unwell and the world was going black around me. I asked my husband to help me out and as he did so he tutted at me loudly and in front of other diners.

A few years in we were on holiday in Spain about to watch a show after dinner with the kids. There were rows of chairs and I pulled an empty on beside me so we all had seats. Later on, a foreign tourist went past us, looked at me and made a 'mad woman' sign at me by circling his finger at his head. I looked around to see who he was gesturing at and it was clearly me. My husband sitting next to me just laughed. I asked him to go and ask what the problem was and he refused.
Me...I waited a while then got up and followed the tourist to the bar. I asked him if he had a problem with me and he said I had taken his seat. (There was nothing on it nor on the seats next to it). I gave him a piece of my mind and told him how rude he was and how he could simply have said it to me in the first place instead of being rude in front of everyone! He then apologised!

As for my husband, he is a soon to be ex.

I have loads of these stories, just loads.

Also If people don't believe fat shaming is a thing point them to this thread.

At a tube station queuing to walk up the escalator, minding my own business and big burly bloke literally shoves me out the way and moves in front of me in the queue. I say 'Hey, do you mind?' and he turns round and says 'F*k off you white c*t'.

I made it home and burst into tears. He said those words with such malice it really upset me.

One of my collegues has recently lost quite abit of weight, i said to her "you're looking great, you've lost weight" she replied "yes i have, now its your turn" 😯 cheeky bitch. I spent the rest of the day wishing i hadnt of been so nice by complimenting her!

I went out shopping with my mum and newborn DD perhaps a couple of weeks after the most hideous forceps birth and 3rd degree tear, I was feeling pretty delicate. I was standing in a shop, with my hand on the handlebar of the pram - rocking it backwards and forwards when the shop assistant nodded at my stomach and asked when my baby was due. yeah cheers
More recently, when heavily pregnant with DS - i worked up to 39 weeks - the visiting music teacher saw me sat in the staffroom eating my lunch and loudly observed that I looked more and more like a beached whale each week. wow

Years ago, on the way work, a drunk guy who used to lurk in the underpass, began to recognise me and then took to calling me a 'skinny peroxide c#t'. Every day. There and back. It was really upsetting me. Skinny I was actually a bit chuffed about. Peroxide I could deal with. But c#t really upset me. I've never been called that before (or since). So one day I snapped and went to the police station at lunchtime. It was packed as I approached the desk Sargent and said 'there is a drunk calling me names EVERY DAY in the underpass and I find it intimidating'. He smiled at me very patronisingly and smirked as he asked me what he was calling me. I said I'd rather not say out loud. He said I must. I said I couldn't possibly. He said I really must. By now you could hear a pin drop across the waiting room. So the third time he insisted, I bellowed it with exactly the same tone and aggression with which it was dealt to me daily. The Sargent nearly fell off his stool. They despatched a car and I never saw the guy again.

Prob some random woman telling me if I breastfed my baby instead of bottle feeding him he would be more intelligent and not cry so much !! Lol. I was so angry , this was 4 agonising month later with daily pumping from my extremely shitty tits lol . I had to top up with formula :((((. My son is 3 years old tall , healthy , full of energy and as smart as a whip. He knows the alphabet can count backwards and sings loads of songs ! So up yours lady !! Lol 😝

I was once on holiday In Portugal aged 18, at a checkout queue & a lady in her 50's with missing front teeth came up to me & pinched my bum. I thought that was rather rude!

I attended a friend's funeral and afterwards his ex-wife, who had travelled a long way to be there, said she dreaded spending the night alone, so I volunteered to go back with her. We spent the night getting drunk and talking about the recently deceased. Next day, still in our clothes from the day before, she saw me to the station. As we stood there trying not to cry these two smart arses strolled by with the cheery remark " cheer up girls, you look like you've been to a funeral! I informed them we buried her husband yesterday and at least they had the decency to look mortified. Turned out to be nice guys and I had a few drinks with them on the way home!

Muddle Glad you went on to have a good life.
