    For me it's always "you carry your weight well." But say it back and you're pretty much the rudest person in the world.


    I have had this one a bunch.. and your well proportioned ..

    I get this all the time. Along with "you don't look like you weigh ____" and "you don't need to lose weight, you're not even big." My doctor and body would disagree with fervor.

    My mom at my darkest hour before schooling to get my foot in the door -

    "The reason no one's hired you is because you're overweight and not 'nice' to look at" - She didn't mean it to hurt me but it did .. She was just opening my eyes to how judgemental some people could be about my weight. I understand - too bad it had to come from my mother.

    The other day, one of my co-workers noticed that my pants were very baggy (and they were some of my skinny(er) pants!). She came up to me, slapped my hips and told me that I need to stop loosing from my *kitten* and hips. "you should focus more on your stomach, do some crunches or something". I was shocked! While I explained to her that I do not have a choice WHERE the fat is coming off, I lifted my shirt to show her my stomach, which is now getting definition and you can see my ab muscles. "And I do core work all the time... does your stomach look like this?"

    She got mad and walked away.. then later admits she should start going to the gym again.
    I think I would have kicked her in the neck!!! OMG!!!! RUDENESS!! This actually made my mouth drop and I gasped when I read this!! I cant believe there are 18 pages of these!! Some of them are horrific!!!

    BTW-I always got "you have such a pretty face..." when I was a child. Then I developed into a Broad In Total Control of Herself and finally asked '...whats wrong with the rest of me??" Needless to say the conversation ends there =)

    When I was in middle school, one of the "pretty" girls came up to me and said, "Your so lucky!!!!!!". I looked at her and asked why. She said, "Cause you have the biggest boobs in the class". I was mortified. I legitimately thought about killing myself that night.

    Ohhh that was mean. I am so glad I grew up in the UK and Africa - US school children are MEAN

    For all the people who hear "You're so much prettier without glasses!"

    I had glasses before I got contacts and I learned that a great response was, "Hey, without my glasses you look better, too!"

    That pretty much shut them up.

    Idk if this will count, but my bff was talking about her weight and said something like "I would never be a giant cow weighing over 300 pounds" or something like that.. I said, "I' weigh over 300 pounds.. she's like NOOOO there's noo way ur THAT big... so do I count that as a compliment or an insult? (poor thing) lol

    When I was a teen, my mom would pester me that I should pluck my eyebrows ("you'd be so pretty if you plucked your eyebrows"). One day, I responded that my friend (who was a beautiful blonde cheerleader with Brooke Shields thick eyebrows) didn't pluck her eyebrows. Mom replied, "But she's naturally pretty."

    owwww!

    My Mom, sometime around my 18th birthday:

    "You know, out of my three kids you were cutest." Pause. Then: "And you're the one who's changed the most..."

    ???

    Bless her, she really didn't mean it in a nasty way - but I was rather shocked at first. Now I tease her about it though - she can't remember the situation and keeps telling me I'm oversensitive, LOL. When I'm in a very chipper mood I tell her, that's because sensitivity to feelings obviously skipped a generation in our family... : )
