Took DS to school this morning. As usual am wearing my running kit and haven't yet showered as I'm off for a run (obviously). A Dad dropping his son off looked me up and down and said the following:
Dad: "You know it's not April Fool's until tomorrow right?"
Me: (confused and distracted by sulky small boy): "eh?"
Dad: "Are you going to the gym or something?"
Me: (Still confused) "Yeeeees."
Dad: "I thought it must be an April Fool's joke or something! Hahaha."
Me: "Er. Right. Ok. Bye."

I didn't really understand what he was saying until I walked away (and checked that I didn't have an old pair of knickers hanging from my shorts or something) but he was basically telling me I looked shit, right? Which I know shouldn't bother me (I thought the guy was a dickhead before, this just confirms it) but I wish that I had a witty comeback for next time beyond "fuck off you massive knobber." And because of him I was really self-conscious on my run and was convinced that everyone was staring at me and judging me (it is fair to say that I am not at my most alluring when exercising but that's not really what I'm going for).

Any suggestions for witty comebacks? Needs to be clean enough for a playground setting.

Haha love that carabos Grin

I'd have said 'no shit, Sherlock!' or 'omg, am I in my running gear? Shit, I'm in court in half an hour - do you think they'll notice?'
