To stab SIL with a fork under the table?

[EilaLila]

I'm having a little sob in the toilet.

We are having dinner at MIL and I've seen SIL for the first time in a couple of months as she lives far away. She's quite blunt but not usually rude and we get on well. There's no history.

I've been very ill and lost a lot of weight. I'm still fat, I know it. In the next room - with the door open - SIL said it was "good" that I've lost weight and I'm "lucky". I had a serious illness that nearly killed me. I am very, very lucky to be alive.

Can I "accidentally" stab her with a fork in the leg under the table or no?

YANBU

No.

Stab her over the table. Deliberately. Own your actions.

What a bitch. Stab away. Or get your DH to wind her neck in.

YWBU to actually stab her, but YANBU to want to. Just imagine it and smile to yourself. As a bonus, wondering what you're smirking about will drive her crazy.

YABU. Stab her in the eye.

Do it with panache while singing "she's a killer queeeeen" and be proud that there's one less wanker at the table.

Give her a high-5.
In the face.
With a chair.

Tell her "i overheard what you said, it was disgusting. I'll be going home now. You can explain why to everyone else." and leave her to it.

What a cunty thing to say

Clearly she doesn't understand the seriousness of your illness. Sadly many people probably think like her, you may encounter this comment more than once.

"I'm not sure I'd class having an illness that nearly killed me 'lucky', SIL. Its only weight, I never had you pegged as being that superficial". Then smile and watch her head explode as she tries to figure out whether you just agreed with her or insulted her.

Yes do it.I'm so fed up with bullies.

YABU if you don't make sure the prongs are very sharp before you stab her.

This says so much more about her values and her thought processes than it does anything about you. She must be a strange woman.

Initiate a discussion of your illness and emphasise the fact you nearly died - then gasp in horror at the end and say how shocked you are that some people think nearly dying was good as you 'lost weight!'... Tinkly laugh

Pity her.

Glad you pulled through. Hope you continue to get better.

I would get up and leave without a word. As in stand up, get your keys and go. Open the door m, walk through without a word and drive away. If you have had a drink, call a cab now.
I would not speak to anyone and said until you get a full apology and then decide if it is good enough..
If you have faced such a serious life threatening illness NO ONE should be making light of it. Do not grace that table with another second of your time. Perhaps they will understand the gravity then.

She is just being an idiot. Still, I'd be tempted to accidentally spill gravy over her head.

Get your steel toe boots on and accidentally kick her multiple times. Easier to talk you way out of it

I had this in spades from a number of people when I lost a vast amount of weight in my late teens following an illness (not life threatening, though).

The even more fucked up thing is that I was 8 stone before it, under 7 stone after it.

Some people really need their heads examined when it comes to weight loss, and sadly it's a lot more people than one would think until one is exposed to it.

Go back to the table and say 'phew, that was a huge dump. I'm sure I've lost another half stone there. Good thing to huh SIL?'

Or not...

"My poor neighbour, Fred, had to have his leg amputated. Well, at least he lost a couple of stone, eh SIL?"

Who was SIL saying this to? Did anyone stand up for you?

Is she drunk? Horrible insensitive comment

Hell no. She would get a fork in the eye from me.....

fucking bitch

just stab hr i'll cover for you
