in Chit-Chat
I seen that someone posted something like this 4-5 months ago, and it made me laugh. So, what's the most polite insult you've received?

For me, you carry your weight well. My mother in law keeps getting me clothes, even though I've asked her not to cause I get depressed about it, "These are too big for me, but they'll fit you."

and, even if a guy is trying to be polite, this happened last week at work. "Excuse me Ma'am." Do I look like I am old enough to be called Ma'am?!

few of mine, what's yours?

    Your starting to look like other people do now!


    Err yeah I know I was heavy but really, a different kind of human?!

    He meant It well, I just laughed when everyone else's jaws dropped open. First time he had seen me in a dress in years. He still apologises for it now!

    I moved to the south from the midwest about a year ago. Shortly after getting here, I realized "Bless your heart" is not something that people say when they are being nice here. Or, the other one was from a friend saying " you weigh as much as I do? I wonder why you look so much bigger than me?" smh.

    *after seeing my before pictures*

    "Wow.... You've changed so much and you look so fantastic now that I can't believe you looked like THAT before."

    It wouldn't have even been an insult until the THAT.

    From my mother-in-law. 1st time I ever met her, she said to my hubby in front of me "when did you go to FL and get the beach whale." I cursed her out!
    A few months ago she said: "Your starting to look like a baby beach whale now, keep it up."

    Old *kitten* germany woman. LOL

    I remember a long time ago my car broke down and the driver had to take me and the car to a service station.. He asked what I was studying for and I told him I wanted to be a singer. He looked shocked and told me I wasn't pretty enough to do that for a living.

    Mine actually isn't weight related, but work related ...

    I worked at a law firm that was a "boys' club" (my personality DID NOT fit). I was working with a client defending a $26 million dollar claim, having only worked at this firm for about 7 months and assigned this case about a month into my employment. 6 weeks before trial, the head partner got involved and had a conference call with said client. Apparently, client raved about me because afterwards, I was called into his office so he could tell me "[client] really likes you. I don't know why, but she does."

    I think I got him back - twice. He called me into his office another time to tell me "you just don't get how I like things." A discussion ensued about the lack of "how he likes things" training, and he ended by saying "well, the only person who ever got me is dead." My response "I'm sorry sir. I'm good, but I can't channel the dead."

    A month later I switched sides and went to work for the most feared female attorney in the state - and his arch-enemy :devil: :happy:

    It was rough the first few months. But what she nor me realized. I was pregnant with my daughter. I was with my hubby for a while before I met her because she thought I was "after her money" like my hubbys ex. So she didnt want to met me... LOL

    She loves me to death now =)

    I went to a yard sale, where I asked the lady running it, if she had any furniture for sale, she showed me two end tables and then steered me over to a clothes table and said " I have some really nice clothes here that would fit you, cause I used to be fat like you too". She proceeded to tell me that she lost all here weight by drinking green tea. Needless to say, I didn't buy anything at her sale, but I did go to the grocery store to buy some green tea! lol

    I get Ma'am on a regular basis...have been for years and I am still in my 30s :(

    I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not...I'm thinking not...Last week I was chatting with the fitness monitor at the gym ( who is like 70) and I showed him a picture of me pre-kids--20yo, 135lbs, 38-26-36 measurements--and he said "don't take this the wrong way, but I think you have a better shape now". I am taking that as he prefers the shape of a more mature woman--the softening of the curves that takes place once you have carried a child.

    I think I am more hurt, and sort of insulted, that people have not made comments about my obviously losing weight. In December I saw my inlaws for the first time in MONTHS, and no one said a thing!

    When I joined a gym 2 years ago, I didn't know what anything was. (had blonde hair at the time) so I went to the ellipticals, no one was on them with the trainer, giving me a tour, and I asked him what it was and what they do (area of the body they work out) and he laughed. I apparently didn't get the joke and he says,

    "it's ok, after all, you are a natural blonde right?"

    I asked him if he ever heard the one time the blonde got the douche bag fired.

    Probably the "explicit, specific insult" followed with "and have a blessed day!"
