To tell people who comment on my appearance to fuck right off?

Why is it that some people think it’s perfectly acceptable to comment on how “tired around the eyes” I’m looking when the only potential cure for this is surgery?? I’m 37 and I don’t fancy cutting my face up thanks, would they say to someone that their nose is looking really big??

Yes I’m pregnant, massively hormonal and in a filthy mood but this really pisses me off!

If you tell people they look “tired around the eyes can you tell me why you think this isn’t massively insulting?

It's an age thing. I'm 50. People say I look tired (when I'm fit and not at all tired) and it's really because I'm not young anymore and older people just look more tired.

I agree with you that it's annoying.

If anyone tells me I look tired i say something along the lines of “funny I was just thinking the same about you... we obviously both need a rest”.

Telling someone they look tired, unless it is just about bedtime is backhanded bitchiness.
