    I would only ask a person if the used to dive if I thought that they looked too old to be diving.

    As long as nobody is mean to you on the internet, that would be even more horrible.

    I was at the pool swimming and diving, and after I finished I walked past the lifeguard on the way out, who asked me, "you used to dive?"

    I was like, "What is that supposed to mean? Are you calling me old? Or are you saying I'm not good enough to dive anymore?"

    How are people like that allowed to walk around and breathe the same air as the rest of us who aren't mean and rude?

    Hey, if you can't handle hard hitting truth, maybe you shouldn't set foot in public, ever!

    I must be missing something, because I would have taken this as "not bad, you must have been a diver at some point." :smile:

    I would have thought that ^ too :)

    You are the only one who saw his face when he said it, so you know the best. But I tend to agree with the others here - I think he meant it as a compliment. Sounds like he may have thought you were an experienced diver.

    Someone saw me finish a quarter pounder and they were like "wow, did you used to be fat?".

    Eta: this is a troll thread, guys, responding to a now-deleted thread from last night.
    huh?

    It's a compliment. Most athletes who are really, really good are only competitive for a short period of their life. Olympic divers aren't professional past their 20s, if I recall.

    Either the OP just turned 30, 40, or is generally having an 'i hate being old' day lol
    Or maybe he was joking... I'm not entirely sure.
    Are you calling me a liar?

    Totally rude! Definitely boycott that pool. :laugh:

    You should just pee in the pool and then punch out the lifeguard. How dare he suggest you are washed up! :angry:

    People are always going to be mean because they are ashamed of something in themselves, so don't take it to heart.
    That lifeguard has probably never done any proper diving so is a little jealous that you do.

    OP was 18 year old girl who received a PM from another member. In the opening of the PM the sender commented on the OP "getting started early having kids" because she's a mum.

    OP posts a thread "omg why is everyone so rude" where everyone told her to sit the hell down and stop being so sensitive, because the message was merely stating an observed fact.

    OP's thread got deleted because it degraded into LOLOL MEAN PEOPLE LOLOLOL GIFS

    OP made another thread *****ing about her thread being deleted.

    That thread has degraded into gifs and is awaiting deletion.

    I'd take it as a compliment if someone said that to me because I had my first age 30 :laugh:

    Lighten up? Maybe he meant because your dive was good--he was wondering if you have dove in the past.

    I was in a toy store looking for GI Joes for my little nephew and someone asked me if I used to play with them.

    That just reminded me. I got insulted by a crotchety old man for having a baby later in life (I was 40). He looked me right in the eye and said 'It's women like you who the problem with this country, you know.' I assume he meant I was selfishly devoted to my career rather than pregnant at 18. In truth, I hadn't met my husband until I was 36. I'm sure that would have been a wasted explanation on this guy though. I was too speechless to answer.

    I hope you swung your nephew around your head like an Olympic hammer, let out a blood curdling scream and flung him at the rude bstard.

    It could be worse. It's not quite as bad as starting a stupid thread on MFP about an incident that didn't actually happen.

    I'm glad you're very self-aware. I wish you well on your continued path towards making amends with the forums. :flowerforyou:

    And nowhere NEAR as bad as having a sense of humour. God DAMMIT I hate people who joke about stuff on the internet. Don't they understand how IMPORTANT everything is?!

    It's okay, it's just water weight.
    Don't weigh every day.
    Eat more protein.
    Make sure to take measurements!

    You had plenty of supporting and motivating posts on this thread. You are just choosing to ignore all the posts that are telling you that you are wrong, and getting all offended when they are trying to be helpful and honest.
