    I think that type of rudeness is just trying to cover up their own inadequacies so I don't let it bother me. Hey, at least I have a pretty face and I will be smoking hot when I get skinny but they can't do anything about their ugly. :happy:

    Yup! My mom would insist that he must be trying to overcompensate for being a bit small in the pants... If someone could be THAT rude to you, he must have some *awful* insecurities~ so you can only imagine!! So DO imagine, laugh about it to yourself and then keep doing what you're doing! You'll be thinner and healthier while he'll be miserable and tiny..er, I mean pathetic! :wink:

    Just had a run in with THE rudest man I have ever met. He asked me if I was pregnant, which you NEVER ask a woman. When in doubt, keep your damn mouth shut. Since my parents raised me with manners and I realize that some people didn't come up with the same advantage I laughed it off and said no, I wasn't pregnant that I had just gained some weight. He then says "Well if you're not pregnant, you need to be on a diet." Okay... rude much? Damn. The loud thunk I heard just after his comment was my co-worker's jaw hitting the floor since she was privy to the whole conversation. The bad news... my self esteem just dropped a few hundred notches. The good news... I'm not hungry for lunch anymore so thanks, *kitten*... I guess.

    Am I mean to say "get over it" you're right, people are rude, don't let it affect your mood or appetite. it's a deficiency in their character not yours. NOW eat up :)

    i would have asked him "do have any kind of mental disability"? and when he answered "no", i would have said "well, you obviously possess a lot of the traits and behaviors that are indicative of a mental disorder. are you sure?".

    That is just downright rude. Don't let jerks like him bother you!!!

    You should have said: "Oh no, this isn't a pregnancy glow. I'm just super attractive. Thanks for noticing!"

    I'd rather be fat than be a sad, loudmouthed, ignorant *kitten*. Just sayin'.

    Oh and it wasn't a stranger, by the way. That makes it worse. I see this person all the time living in a small town and we are in the same civic organization so I am forced to deal with him. He's about 30 years older than me, but as my co-worker/friend said there is only so much old age can excuse. I can certainly rise about it.

    I was hoping the loud thunk you heard after was him hitting the ground after you knocked him out.
    hahah YES!!!

In the face. With a chair.

    I am so sorry. I've had rude comments made to me before and it stings. I had a girl that was opening the fitting room door for me at a clothing store, ask me if I was pregnant with this huge smile on her face. It took all I had in me to be nice to her and explain that sometimes after you have children, fat likes to stick around in the belly area. I wanted to cry.

    Was this guy fit? Some men are like that. I used to work for a grocery store and this lady was buying food for her husband and while I was scanning items he was telling her that she shouldn't eat those things, but in a rood manner. Almost saying she'll gain weight. He seemed like one of those macho men that likes his women stick then. She was also a very pretty lady. I felt bad for her cuz he was embarrassing her. If my man was like that I would be GONE.


    I've had a really fit guy actually pinch my thigh fat and tell me that I need to hit the weights. I was sooooo horrified. On a positive note, it made me get a gym membership. =)

    I think it can partially be attributed to the web and social media. People feel anonymous and invulnerable online and get use to saying any nasty thing that pops in their head.

    Well you can lose weight he can't lose jerkness. I would have a hard time keeping my mouth shut.

    I do believe you are right! People are classless and heartless.

    The thunk should have been when you knocked him out:)

    That is just terrible, but remember that we all feel down about ourselves sometimes, don't let that guy determine the way YOU feel about YOU. He doesn't know you he doesn't know what you have been through and he could probably care less about your health and only wanted to boost his own ego. Just remember, you have a LOT of people right here that are going through the same things you are and we are here to support you!

    Not everyone is thick skinned and being female gives us a disadvantage because most of us feel very strong emotions. I have learned to hide my feelings, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.

    I've just been WAITING for someone to say something like that to me, because I want to respond with, "Well, I can always lose weight, but it looks like you'll always be an *kitten*."

    And walk away.

    If it were me, that loud thunk you heard wouldn't have been my co-workers jaw, it would have been his rude *kitten* hitting the floor!!

    Without the second part he said, I was thinking "oh maybe he didn't mean anything harmful" but reading the second sentence, this is just plain rude and insensitive. Just curious, is he single? LOL

    "Why yes, with TRIPLETS! WHY? am I showing already?"

    Yeah...I would have handled it exactly as you did...then thought of this later and WISH it was what I said!

    Having experienced rude people (they are everywhere...) I have been known to say "Oh, are you a doctor?" Or "Wow...your mama didn't teach you manners, did she?"

    I LOVE discussions like this, because it helps me to be prepared with come-backs for when it happens to me. (and it WILL/DOES)

    As a VERY wise YOUNG MFP member said not too long ago when something similar was said...."I shouldn't waste any time thinking about it because as soon as he left, I'm sure HE didn't!"

    People like that just aren't worth the energy. YOU are on the right path. KEEP IT UP and don't let HIS RUDE affect YOUR SPIRIT!

    Girl, just consider the source in which it came from. Don't lower yourself to his standards by forgetting your upbringing. You've heard many times I am sure, Karma is a ***** and it sucks when it comes back around and bites you on the *kitten*. His *kitten* and Karma will meet up and you can bet it's gonna hurt.

    See, I would just assume that if he's this rude to me he's probably been this way to others, and the karma that is coming to kick him in the *kitten* is coming in the form of ME. :)
