What's the most polite insult you've recieved?

You look so skinny! Are you sick? Are you on DRUGS?
-My Mother
(hushed stage whisper in a very public venue from an acquaintance I hadn't seen in about 6 months, in which time I'd lost 40 pounds: Ohmygod you've lost so much weight...you don't have cancer, do you?)
:huh:0 -
Last week a guy in the gym told me I look great with my hair longer.
Then he told me I looked really manly when it was short.:laugh:0 -
And my personal non-favorite:
"You're such a plain Jane, it's so nice to talk to someone who's not a supermodel or thinks she's all that." I've gotten variations on this one for the past 20 years, from guys who think that the way to compliment me is apparently to tell me I'm not attractive.
Um...thanks? :grumble:0 -
I've been asked twice if I was pregnant when I wasn't. I was wearing the same sweater both times. I don't wear that one out anymore.0

You'd look really pretty with long hair,
You don't look like you weigh that much
You're a big build anyway
Who need to diet, you'll be miserable hungry (true, but from skinny friend is pain in *kitten*)
You're only 21, I would have said 310 -
Whenever I tell people how much I weigh (which isn't much) it is typically followed by "Wow I would never have guess you weighed that much!"
This would actually be a compliment IMO.
I have gotten this one a lot, especially since I lost weight--people seem to think I am much smaller than the scale actually says...must have good muscle tone or something...it kinda makes up for the "plain Jane" comments....0 -
"I love your outfit. What brand is that? Oooooh, I'm envious. They don't make anything small enough for me."0
-
"You have such a pretty pregnancy glow! You looks so beautiful!" I have never been pregnant...0

Where did you get your Miss Van ticker image thingy?! Miss Van!!!0
-
"You should be a model. You know they have plus-size models, right? Why haven't you ever tried that?"
*kitten* off.0 -
"Why didn't you tell me you're Hispanic, I guess I should have known from your *kitten*"
When I was a waitress and these 2 women were talking badly about the place in Spanish and I wished them goodbye in it.
Like if I was Caucasian you'd just have thought I was fat? My thighs/butt have always been my weight gain spot.0 -
"You have such a pretty face"
"You don't look like you weigh THAT much!"0 -
This was just a funny case of instant karma I wanted to share.
I was on my first day in a brand new high school and a girl walked up to me. I was painfully shy and was hoping she would want to be friends.
She said (in the snarkiest tone ever): "What does it feel like?" I gave a puzzled look. She continued: "To be way taller than all the other girls, it must be embarassing.".
I was crushed.
Suddenly a basketball flew out of nowhere and broke her nose. The person who threw the basketball (not on purpose!) would later be my boyfriend of 4 years. True story.0 -
My ex explaining why he dumped me for someone else: "My dad is fine with us being friends because he thinks your personality is perfect for me. It's just that he thinks you're too short and big for me to date." I'm 5'4" and at the time I was 120 lbs.0

I used to like you because of your personality.0

You're pretty for a fat chick!0

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.
I am glad that you did not kill yourself. Bullies are dumb0 -
Well, you're definitely not starving up north!0

From friend I haven't seen since college introducing me to his wife
"This guy used to be one handsome MF. Dude, how many lbs have you gained since I last saw you. A 100?"
*kitten* off, only 60 but who's counting?0 -
My lovely Father in-law said to me that I wear nice clothing for a big girl... lol what a jerk!! Damn rights I look good in my 'big girl' clothing!! Haha Sometimes I have to look at the bright side of things...0

My future mother in law the first time I met her and my son:
Kadin, my son "My Mom has an exercize ball like that! She keeps it in the front closet!"
The Monster in Law: "Oh that's a real good place for it" Rolling her eyes.
Awkward!!! O_o Hence the year long icky future mother in law dread.0 -
"Hey Slim!" "Wait a minute, that's not funny anymore."0
-
"How is your daughter so tiny? It must be her from her dad cuz it's not from you. You've always been big boned."
For the record, i am not "big boned" nor is my husb. anywhere near "tiny." :grumble:0 -
Pretty for a big girl..
Such a pretty face..
I would rather be called a fatty than have someone tell me this.0 -
"There is no way that will ever fit in there."
It did.0 -
something that's not really an insult,but still makes me feel bad. when ever I'm dieting and my huuby and I visit his dad and step-mom (yes, the jeans mother in law) she knows I'm dieting, and gets offended when I don'tt eat fired chicken, chocolate cake, things like that. she goes on "I thought you liked my cooking, I made this for you." really? Her cooking is awesome, but not diet friendly.0

"Oh, what a gorgeous baby! Is he your grandson?" Ummm, no. I guess I just look about 20 years older than I am. Great.0
-
you look pretty for a black girl :huh:0
-
Im not sure if this is an insult yet I somehow always feel insulted when its said to me. "you look amazing for a mother of 6" (not sure what to make of it) also when told I was a mother of 6 the lady said "but you're so beautiful" wtf?
I'd take this as a huge compliment...0
