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?

Standing in the bread aisle in Tesco with OH.

Woman behind us to her husband: grab a loaf please
Her husband: I will when these fat cunts stop blocking the whole aisle

I looked at him in disbelief, he walked off shouting "go on a diet" really loudly.

Still can't quite believe anyone is that horrid but there you go.

You never know, in ten years he might have suddenly realised I was right and decided to reform. We can live in hope

I went into the pharmacy attached to the doctors surgery to collect a prescription. I asked the man if he wanted to see my maternity exemption certificate. He pointed at my stomach and said "no thats your exemption certificate" Cheeky fucker. I was so gobsmacked I just feigned a smile and stood there in shame until my prescription was ready.

Forgot to add my son was 4 months old by that point.

I had a dog walker swear at me really aggressively for asking (politely) if they could put their dog on its lead for one minute while I got past with my dog, who is a rescue who was badly treated before I took him on and as a result is fear aggressive if other dogs get too close. I was unlucky to meet them at the narrowest part of that particular walk and at a quiet time when I could usually rely on there being not many dogs around. I was told to "fuck off you stupid fucking bitch" and that I should "have my fucking dangerous dog killed" and if he touched their dog (my dog was muzzled as usual) they'd "stove his fucking head in". I was quite intimidated because we were in a sort of cut-through secluded lane and I couldn't see anyone else about. I just hustled PageDog past - he was barking his head off by now - and got out of there as quickly as I could.

On a lighter note, years ago when I was working in a bar, a male customer I was serving who I'd never seen before suddenly said "you're quite young and thin, how come you've got a double chin?" For once in my life I actually thought of a comeback on the spot and said "it's from clenching my teeth in irritation at all the crap I have to put up with from rude customers", gave him a sarcastic smile and took his money.

The really annoying thing is I didn't, and still don't, have a double chin!

I had just had my Dd1 and my parents had been looking after DS1, DS2 and DS3 so we're bringing them to the post natal ward to meet their sister for the first time. My Mum looked at me and said "are you sure you've had the baby yet?". I gave her my most withering look. I'd only given birth 12 fucking hours ago FFS.

When I was a teenager a "friend" told me I was the ugliest person he had ever seen. What did I do? Grew up very fucking damaged.

PP, why shame? A pregnancy bump is obvious and nothing to be embarrassed about.

PP, I hadn't realised you'd posted again. Apologies. He's a twat.

I have two. When I was about thirteen I was swimming with a friend. We were queueing up at the flume when a boy behind me said, "Bloody hell, what do you use as a costume, a tent?!" I was mortified and didn't go swimming again for two years.
The other one was when I was 18 I moved cities. Fifteen years later I moved back and was invited along to a party. On being introduced as 'X's' sister to a man he said, "Bloody hell, what happened?!" Made me feel great thanks. [mad]

When I was five months pregnant I was on a long train journey. There was a drunk Glaswegian in my carriage who was alright at first but was getting progressively louder. Then he started smoking in the carriage. I very politely asked him to stop smoking, or at least go into the middle bit and smoke out the window (still not allowed but many people did back in those days).
He went ballistic at me, was right up in my face calling me a fucking tcheuchter, leaning over me. I was very obviously pregnant and looked a lot younger than my 22 years. Not one single person stood up for me. But a guard did eventually come and chuck him off at the next station.

I once got talked about by customers when I worked in retail. It went
Man: see this is why you need to do your homework
Daughter: what?
Man: so you don't end up like this waster (gesturing at me).

Another one was when i got a load of abuse from some dickhead in a car park because he thought my shopping trolley had hit his car. He didn't half look shocked when I told him to fuck off and stop being a cunt. I don't understand what would mske anyone think that they can be so vile and not be answered back to.

Worked in a supermarket part time at uni. This couple came over buying champagne - made small talk about were they celebrating. They went to great lengths to tell me about their wonderful daughter who was graduating with the overtone of "not like you, you loser working in a supermarket". Asked what degree - took great delight in telling them I was in her year and met her recently at a job interview and that I'd got the job - maybe as I managed to balance working in supermarket and degree. Ahh the look on their faces..!!

Some boys told me I was ugly, but would be OK if I put a bag over my head. I can honestly say that my self esteem has never truly recovered from that one.

It wasn't really that rude but it felt it at the time.

I was in labour and the midwife in triage gave me a sweep mid contraction because I was only 3cm. I hadn't asked for this at all. She said I'd have to go home. I gave birth a few hours later and she came in and declared it was her sweep that had done it . It felt like she was taking credit for the bloody hard job of giving birth.

When I was about 22, it was summer and I was trim and tanned and lovely (I have the photos to prove it! Not quite so lovely now but anyhoo..). I was walking down a street in a pale blue summer dress, enjoying the sunshine. I was stopped by an elderly man who asked me if I knew where weightwatchers was. I said "I don't know, sorry". He replied "thought not". The nasty bastard. I felt shit. It absolutely ruined my day, as I am sure he intended. Of course, I remember every detail. Sadly.

I can remember other such instances, usually said when I was feeling happy, and all designed to wipe the smile off my face. All delivered by men/boys. I don't understand why so many seem to hate women. Makes me very sad that my lovely girl will experience the same hatred as she grows into a beautiful young woman.

Of course, nowadays I would tell the bastards to fuck right off. But in those days I was much less assertive.

I was on a bus today with my wife. Some background is needed, she has a mastectomy 4 years ago followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Three months ago she had a total knee replacement and is still using one crutch and me. (we joke that I am her other crutch).
We got to the stop, my wife had stood up, with my help, before the bus stopped, as we walked forward a crowd of people got on, I said please let us past as she is using a crutch, I was told by one man that we should have been at the front of the bus before it stopped. (I really wanted to break both his legs to show him how hard life can be)

EastMidsGPs How weird! You didn't make contact with the boy did you? Why did he think you'd hit him?

I was in a shop around xmas time standing in the queue with my DS. It was packed and I only had a few things. The couple behind me had a trolley full. I could hear them getting more and more in patient. Then I feel the full force of their trolley being shoved into the back of me! They burst out laughing and the bloke wonders up the queue and back down again, and still smirking the woman says "oh sorry, he's so inpatient"

Grown adults!! Older than me. Who does that. If I hadn't had DS with me I'd have told them to grow the fuck up.

I once accidentally dyed my hair ginger. I went two minutes up the road to the shop and received a fairly vile comment from a group of teenage boys. I didn't even hear them properly, it was only as I stepped back through my front door I clicked what they'd said so all they received was a confused look off me. "Do you have ginger fiery pissy flaps?" WTF!!

I used to be overweight but lost 4 st after having my DC.

A new colleague who had only known me slim but had heard me mention being overweight in the context of a previous conversation asked to see a picture of my DC.

The one I showed her happened to have my (very good looking) DH in it.

Her: "who's that with the kids?"
Me: "DH"
Her:"Really? Wow, I didn't expect your husband to look like that!"
Me: "Because...?
Her: "I assumed he'd be fat or ugly"
Me:
Her:"I don't mean to be rude, you're lovely looking but you said you used to be fat? Why on earth would he marry a fat girl?"

The worst part was she wasn't trying to be rude. It was a genuine reaction. In her experience men choose (and remain faithful to) their wives based solely on looks.

It made me feel terribly sorry for her.

An ex boyfriend who I ditched came in the pub where I worked / we'd met, ordered a pint, looked me over and declared that I'd put on weight.

Also I became an accidental landlord when we ended up in negative equity during the credit crunch. Let it out to a new mum 'friend' via an agent who left it in a tip. She told everyone that I didn't know the difference between filth and a bit of wear and tear. I had to sit on my hands to resist sharing the photos taken for deposit but purposes - some friend!

"You fucking whore" from a respectable looking chap in a suit in a Volvo in a car park, when I had my young son in the car next to me.

In a club..."take this one in front, fucking beautiful face from the front, but what an enormous arse from behind".

An old boss "she's the most beautiful girl in town, but needs to lose half a stone to be attractive."

An ex "when are you going to go to the gym? You have to think of me, it's bloody embarrassing to be the one with the big fat girlfriend."

Same ex, while away with his work in Australia "I've just figured out why you look more attractive here,it's because the rooms are bigger and open plan so you look smaller in comparison...The rooms at home are much smaller so you look bigger". I was a 12 and hated myself, I wish I looked like that now.

Oh, also I have an aunt who used to give me bargain basement gifts, always three sizes too big. She also said I should grow out my fringe as it was a haven for spots!

I gave my cousin a Christmas present. My aunt then gave me it for my birthday. When I asked if it was the same one(very distinctive), she said it was, but my cousin hadn't liked it, so she'd given her the cash and thought I would want it back. I was and still am shocked by this.

I was driving on a road where it widens and narrows and one direction has priority at each narrowing. I had priority and was advancing. We were on our way to view what would be our first home. A chap in a van coming in the opposite direction advances notwithstanding the fact I have priority and am advancing and so I have to pause. I rolled down my window as he came alongside and as his window was open I pointed out that I had priority. In response he said "fuck off, cunt" and spat his chewing gum at me which landed in my hair.

DH then undid his seat belt and opened the door and when that bellend saw the size of him he just drove on.

We got to the viewing late and the vendor was charming, helped me cut the chewing gum out of my hair and when we were one of three people who made offers, accepted ours even though it wasn't the highest.
