To think you shouldn't fucking comment on a strangers appearance?!

So.. I work in a customer facing job where I deal with many customers in one day, taking their car keys, handing them back once the work is done etc etc.

Today a lady came in who lets just say I found a little bit... strange. She randomly came out with "you have white on your nose... do you know!" In let's just say a not very nice manner. It wasn't in the manner of a woman looking out for another woman. It was bitchy. I said yes I know, it's highlighter. (I always put a tiny bit on the tip of my nose. It's a feature I'm now proud of since having a rhinoplasty last year.) and it didn't look white .. no one else said it was noticeable. Then she said.. "yes... it's white.."

Like what the fuck?! I saw her grey roots poking through her horrendous period blood coloured home dye job but I didn't say fuck all. You shouldn't comment on people's appearance.. it's rude :)

White powder on the nose might look like drugs tbh

allegretto · 14/09/2017 17:55

She probably thought you didn't know and was trying to help. Give her a break.

Haffiana · 14/09/2017 17:55

Don't you want to know that other people see your nose is white?

What has it got to do with her roots?

DesperateButNotAHousewife · 14/09/2017 17:56

I'd get that bug It wasn't white .. it was more of a neutral toned shimmer and was just a wisp.

Wow!

Haffiana · 14/09/2017 17:57

OK, but now you know that some peoplr at least, see your nose as white and not a shimmery whatever. If you don't care then why are you raging?

WorraLiberty · 14/09/2017 17:59

It must have been white or she wouldn't have passed comment

Unless you think she goes around telling everyone they have white on their noses? Confused

AboutAGallonofDietCoke · 14/09/2017 18:00

This suggests that maybe its not working as a look. She was probably trying to help.

QuackDuckQuack · 14/09/2017 18:00

I saw someone yesterday with weird white cheeks - definitely some sort of makeup that looked bad. Now I understand.

TSSDNCOP · 14/09/2017 18:00

Maybe she said it in the hope you'd whip out your compact and clock the giant bogie that was what had actually caught her attention Grin

Sparklingbrook · 14/09/2017 18:01

What you have written about her is somewhat bitchy TBF.

Maybe you should practice the shimmery nose make up so it doesn't appear white?

TippyTinkleTrousers · 14/09/2017 18:02

I mean.... it must have been white.

NotAgainYoda · 14/09/2017 18:02

Maybe instead of highlighter, you should strap a magnifying glass on and really draw attention to your shnoz

FlandersRocks · 14/09/2017 18:02

Your make up makes your nose look white, enough for a stranger to comment on. If she thought it, she won't be the only one.

Surely it's better to know op? So that you can put less of the stuff on your nose?

PerfumeIsAMessage · 14/09/2017 18:03

Aren't you a charmer.
Now you know that highlighter on the end of your sçhnozz isn't a good look unless you really know what you're doing with it. Maybe she did you a favour?
And you seem quite happy to be vile about random people too.

Auspiciouspanda · 14/09/2017 18:05

Ignore the rude lady, some people don't understand the high lighter life ✨✨✨

'Period blood coloured hair'

😬😳

Ttbb · 14/09/2017 18:05

Indeed, one should never make a comment on a strangers appearance. Nor should one wear highlighter if one doesn't want others to judge.

WorraLiberty · 14/09/2017 18:07

Is period blood a different colour to other blood?

Just curious Grin

arethereanyleftatall · 14/09/2017 18:09

I think I'd want to know if my make up looked like a mistake.
She was trying to help.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 14/09/2017 18:09

Very few people can get contouring/highlighting right.

You could obviously tell and I would have been grateful for a stranger telling me I had mascara under my eyes/lippy on my teeth etc.

What you said sounds a bit nasty. It really put your white nose out of joint.

Sparklingbrook · 14/09/2017 18:09

It's probably best to say 'fuck all' about a customer's appearance. Just in case they get one of those after service questionnaires. Wink

Branleuse · 14/09/2017 18:09

youre gonna get roasted now you anonymously commented on her appearance on here now OP, even though thats obviously not in the same league as saying it to a strangers face.

I agree, she was rude. There are ways of telling someone something like that without being rude

LaurieFairyCake · 14/09/2017 18:11

Omg that contouring looks like an alien ShockShockShock

Whisky2014 · 14/09/2017 18:11

Applying make up inside your home can look entirely different outside or in brightly lit workplaces. Maybe just double check you are applying it properly?
