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?

I went out to tell the little fuckers kids who have been bullying DS1 to leave him alone and one of them, aged about 10 said "fuck off you fat slag!" I was stunned but managed to collect my thoughts enough to reply "speaking of which, go and get your mother and send her to my door." I'm still waiting Hmm

Allegretto I think we had the same midwife!

I'm Shockat how many comments are from men to women. Eugh. I never feel like I can walk passed groups of men without feeling like I wish the ground would swallow me up!

Coverup890 · 10/03/2017 21:06

I had a group of guys shouting who let the dogs out at me while I was walking down the road.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 10/03/2017 21:07

Reading these are seriously giving me the fucking rage on all of your behalf Angry
Where do these fucking fuckwits get off making these comments?!?

You should all take heart in the fact that they do this due to their own major insecurities to make themselves feel better, fucking twats. Hmm

Coverup890 · 10/03/2017 21:09

Oh hang on the worst was when I was a teenager I was on holiday with my family. I'd walked off to get a something and on my way back a group of men surrounded me and started calling me fat and ugly. I held it together and got back to my dad with my eyes welling up with tears. He asked what was wrong so I told him to which he replied "well you are fat?" Shock

The80sweregreat · 10/03/2017 21:12

Coverup, thats awful.
Why are men so fucking horrible ? ( i know women can be too, but not to this extent)
This thread is so depressing.

trufflehumper · 10/03/2017 21:12

Some 'popular' girls at school set up a chair in the canteen by removing screws then offering me (a chubby, bespectacled, quiet girl) a seat. Cue all the kids laughing at me sprawled on the floor. Mortifying.
Oh and apparently a fellow kid at schools worst nightmare would be trufflehumper in sexy underwear. Twat practically destroyed my sexual confidence and self esteem for years to come.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 10/03/2017 21:12

coverup I have a twat for a dad too if it helps-used to take great pleasure in pointing out what a big nose I had, thanks dad Hmm
Amazingly my face now sort of fits said nose so I feel I've had the last laugh.
Firmly believe parents should be their childrens champion thanks to that though so I did get something out of the regular insults.

Fauchelevent · 10/03/2017 21:16

alegretto sorry what? Thats so awful

LucklessMonster · 10/03/2017 21:17

I was a teenager, walking home from school, and a car had to stop to let me across the road. He rolled the window down and shouted, "Walk a bit faster and you might lose some weight." I walked four miles to and from school (by choice - my best friend and I liked walking together rather than getting the bus).

Similar comment when I got a bike and went out on it for the first time. At least that time it was fellow teenagers and not a grown man.

Coverup890 · 10/03/2017 21:17

I'm the same I loved my dad but when it came to stuff like that he was really bad. I've struggled with my self esteem my whole life you can probably tell why

MrsDesireeCarthorse · 10/03/2017 21:19

A1Sharon, NHS free check-up for private work. Which he didn't get, the nasty cunt.

That reminds me of one of the most awful things I saw. Our English teacher asked the class, "Who's the ugliest person in the room?" I'm certain he was expecting someone to say him - he often had a joke with the class - but the boy he picked to answer said the name of one of my friends. Even I've never forgotten it so I'm sure she didn't Sad

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 10/03/2017 21:21

It's really shit, I tell DC constantly how clever, funny, gorgeous they are-possibly overdo it a little but fuck it I'm determined they'll be confident little superstars who love themselves as much as I love them.

SquidgeyMidgey · 10/03/2017 21:24

Currently sitting at the end of a table being soundly ignored. Supposed to be on a night out with DH, 3 of his mates and their wives who I've not met before and the only one even making eye contact is DH. I think that's fairly rude.

Coverup890 · 10/03/2017 21:28

Just remembered I never lose my cool but when the sky salesman told me that I wouldn't understand and to let the men talk. I flipped told him to fuck off and as I'm the one who pays the bills he's just lost himself a customer. I left him and dp standing there in shocked silence.

HappyFlappy · 10/03/2017 21:31

Marking to read as have to take the dogs out now

Are you sitting on your phone and they think you're not interested?

SouthWestmom · 10/03/2017 21:36

Outside the British Museum some man bitched about me to his mates about my Umbrella catching him and I turned and said 'don't be so rude' as he was using the phrase 'silly cow'. Cue lots of abuse and the finale - 'and you're UGLY'.

So distressing as he looked like some posh old sort and his hideous mates should have restrained him. It just made me miss my frightfully posh gentlemanly grandad.

On the upside, dd was on her way to a modelling appointment so my genes can't be that bad.

ppeatfruit · 10/03/2017 21:36

I've remembered rudenesses by women, one a PE teacher, (she was responsible for many rudenesses).

It certainly isn't just men. I think the worst thing is when it happens when you're young , you find it hard (or impossible) to forget.

It's usually a very sad insecure person who does it, they have to be pitied.

SquidgeyMidgey · 10/03/2017 21:39

Weeblueberru, it's been an hour and a half of it now, just cracked my phone out in the last 5 minutes.

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 10/03/2017 21:41

Ahhh yes, went to look at a 'perfomance' car and salesman was telling DH all spec etc etc then asked him if he should fetch the keys for a test drive? He said 'no fucking idea mate, she's the one buying the car so maybe give her all the schmooze you just gave me then ask her... Good luck'

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 10/03/2017 21:41

Old guy in his eighties who regularly sits on a bench just outside my local shop. He told me his wife had died a month ago and showed me some photos of her (one in which she was wearing a basque, which was a little uncomfortable!). I felt genuinely sorry for him and made a point of stopping to chat each day. UNTIL the day he asked me if 'a man has ever licked you down there'. I know had my five year driving son with me. I was so completely shocked, I just walked off without saying a word. In hindsight, I wish I bloody had! I started taking the longer route to the shop - I still do - and feel really pissed off at my inability to tell him what a filthy old perve he really is.

FourKidsNotCrazyYet · 10/03/2017 21:43

I was about 15 and, whilst walking home from school I had an egg thrown at me. I can still feel the humiliation now and I'm 40! If you have never had an egg hit you, it really fucking hurts too Sad
