Anyone ever told you something straight out?

    I always apreciate brutal honesty, even if its something I don't want to hear. Its so rare nowadays, that I can't not like hearing it.

    I was told by a woman that I was a "selfish b*st*rd". I kindly said thank you for the compliment. Life is too short to worry about such trivia, well for me anyway.

    A standard reply from me is "I accept all compliments, good, bad, or otherwise." Just how I was raised.

    A woman I used to work with told me and another coworker that she would rather sit by a murderer than either of us because at least the murderer could be a Christian.

    It was so weird. We never even discussed religion with her but she knew we weren't churchgoers. Also, this was in a social service agency with tons of diversity (including religion) among the staff. Wild.

    Now how in the hell would she know the murder was a Christian? Crazy people

    I had a lady tell me I was a b*** at work!
    I was so happy.... it was the first time someone called me that to my face. 😁😁

    Did you misspell it?

    @MIltonBradley1 lol! Unfortunately I can't come through for him. I could only get him with a gorgeous blonde who's pregnant at the moment. That kind of works?

    Pregnancy makes boobs bigger. Although it is a reminder that someone beat you to it.....

    My kids, all the time! My seven year old told me this morning I am so fat I am going to have another baby tomorrow (I am not pregnant and there is no way I would get pregnant)

    After my first son was born, I had a lady ask me When I was due... I politely informed her 3 weeks ago, when he was born.

    Luckily, I knew she was one of those no filter types and it wasn’t coming from a malicious place, but when you’re all hormonal it’s not nice to hear all the same. 😩
    (As a bonus, I think she felt bad, because I got a sweet quilt from her as a baby gift haha)

    I have learned early in my life, no matter how pregnant a woman looks, do not comment on it! That 0.1% time that you're wrong will be bad!

    You have booger in your nose.

    I tell people that all the time.

    Even when they don't....

    " No... other side, close, I think you got it..... nope, still there. Do you need a tissue ? "

    I can find some honest people and I know a lot of people who are mean under the guise of honesty, but I’ve encountered very few who will be both direct and kind.

    At a friend's new house standing on the covered porch where some birds had built a nest in the corner before they got moved in and a man I did not know looked at me and said, "You should be careful, those birds might mistake your hair for their nest."
    I know my hair can be a wild mess, I didn't really appreciate him pointing that out.

    ^ This...I always run from people that make it a point to say 'I'm just brutally honest' because 98% of them are simply mean and it gives them an excuse to bully the rest of the world.
