I've noticed on a daily occurrence people make comments to others about their body! My sister is 4 foot 11 and gets she's a doll etc. I'm 5 foot 3 and get oh I didn't realise you were so small!
My friend and her partner are over 6 foot and they're called giants by people.
I've overheard people in work commenting on others attributes too
Aibu to think it's so rude?

I always get comments on my boobs. I worked with one woman who was always asking me what size they were and telling me how much she wanted big boobs. I bloody hated it.

Awkward! Did anyone ever tell her to stop.

@dearohdeary

Some people are just absolute arseholes and ALWAYS have to say things. Whether it's comments about hair, (going grey, bit long, bit short,) weight or height, what car you've got, your house, your job, your boobs, your arse, your make up, your clothes etc etc etc......... there's always SOMEone who has to make a comment.

My most HATED comment from people is when they say something about what I am fucking EATING. JUST FUCK OFF WITH COMMENTING ON MY EATING AND MY FOOD!!!!! Angry

What also irks me... I have lost count of the amount of times someone has said 'oooh, aren't you COLD?' when I am walking around with a sleeveless top and it's ONLY 16-18 degrees C. Followed by 'you NEED to wrap up, put a jumper on, cover your chest!'

I get hot easily, I am rarely cold, and I don't need to be told by nosey, interfering people - ALWAYS women, and always around 5 to 10 years older than me - that I need to cover my chest and wrap up. Very odd. And intrusive. Also, I am in my 50s, I don't take kindly to being told what to do by ANYone.

I know why are people so invested and odd. Commenting on what someone eating isn't on
