Struggling to work out what this insult actually means?

[JeremyPacman]

I work in a pub, there's quite a few us there who are students, early 20s - mostly female but some male. There's a very regular group of blokes who come in who are v friendly with the landlord.

We are all friends, go out to clubs together, have lock ins. Very matey.

Tonight I was working and one the blokes were all in. Sat on a table together, usual thing. Then one of them came over to 'tell me something' put his arm around and me and said in my ear:

"you look shit from behind" as if he was doing me some kind of behaviour? I asked him to repeat it as he I couldn't make sense of what he'd said - he said it in the way you'd tell someone their flies were undone, if that makes sense. like a favour?

But i have no control of how I look 'from behind' whilst doing my job so whilst I'm certain he intended to insult me and could have got to grips with a message like "you have a fat arse" ( I don't, btw, I'm a size 10 with a slim arse, I'm apple shaped so fat belly would have been a proper insult) I don't know what he means.

I mean...I know he was putting me in my place, but since when was "you look shit from behind" a thing?!

If it does turn out to be negging and he asks you out just laugh in his face, clap him in the shoulder and say ‘good one’

Then walk off chuckling to yourself.

He's a bellend, OP. Just like the guy who sat me down when I was 16 and spent 3/4 hour telling me everything that was wrong about me Took me a good long time of analysing and hand wringing before I realised the simple truth was that he was just a knob.

Blank this poisonous prick and think no more about it

I had this once. My response was

"Oh my god, thanks so much for saying that......"

Cue totally confused look from idiot.

"..... I don't fancy you either and was trying to work out how to tell you. But I was going to be nice about it."

What a wanker.

I wouldn't spend any more time trying to work out his intention - you're there to work, not be a decorative object for his gaze.

I'd also tell the landlord and re-think the 'very matey' dynamic that's going on.

Could he have said "you look shit hot from behind" ? As in trying to compliment your arse or something? Or are you certain he said that?

Don't be in a room alone with him. He is crushing your self worth to then make a move and you will feel so intimidated, that you will feel unable to say no. Sorry but that's the thought that comes to my mind

I was just on the bus with a woman who couldn't work out what a man who made a comment to her meant. He was passing her on a crossing and he said "your lips are going down."

I suspect she will be puzzling that one out for weeks.

Did he mean 'we don't like it when your back is turned because you aren't serving us drinks, but rather serving someone else'

Even if this is the case, he's still a twat who can't communicate properly.

Trust me, you're a size 10, in your early twenties, you definitely don't look shit from behind.

I'd do my best to remain distant from this knobhead in the future, polite but aloof.
