The most polite insult you've recieved? redone

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:
Applauds!!! What an *kitten*!0 -
Weight-related: A few years ago, a guy was complimenting me on my attractiveness. He finished off by saying "I've got a thing for larger ladies". I was fatorexic at the time so that comment really hit home!
Not weight-related: It was my turn to ferry the relatives around this Christmas. As I dropped my aunt off, she got out of the car, turned round and said "That was a wonderful drive. You've definitely improved!" (She's known for foot-in-mouth syndrome.)0 -
The cab driver once asked me "How many kids do you have?" Err I'm still single without a child, do I look like I have kids? :grumble:
I had a customer ask me if my co-worker was my son.... We're the same age.0 -
"You're so lucky the professor doesn't know when you're sleeping and when you're awake!"
Haha I wasn't even mad the girl who told me that says stupid funny stuff all the time.0 -
My mother told me on my last visit, looking me up and down, that I "Didn't look VERY fat."
Years ago my obnoxious brother made a rude remark about my larger friend's weight, and I retorted that after ditching her *rse of a cheating husband and finding herself a new man, she was more relaxed about her weight and happy just as she is. He said, "Yeah she's massive. No wonder you two get along."
After I lost 30 lbs or so a few years back, I visited my father who kept looking me up and down, beaming ghoulishly at me and repeating that I looked "very lissom". After the 3rd time I asked him what that even meant, and he said "Er....slim." I only mention it because this is the man who could find nothing to say to me after a year of virtual non-contact, other than to congratulate me on my lovely hair.0 -

OMG I only just got that. How terrible, lucky you weren't offended!!0 -
i get,
"you're so eccentric!"
a lot. That phrase is almost always uttered by people who would rather say, "you're weird, i hate you", but they're trying to make it sound positive.0 -
I get called manwhore a lot :laugh:0
-
"You should be a plus sized model"... Was one I received from a guy at a bar one night. Lol0
-
My mom told me once that I "fall gracefully". I'm super clumsy, so she's seen me fall a time or two.0

I got called a maneater by some of my friends. I turned to my ex and asked what they thought. The reply was, 'More of a people-eater really.' Mind you the ex in question was a woman. :blushing:0

I get called manwhore a lot :laugh:
That's a compliment surely?0 -
Mine is from my mother, who in her defense just doesn't get it.
You're doing really good, and looking great but you still need to lose if you want to get a guy.
Errr... thanks for the support??0 -
Upon losing 60lbs & reaching my goal weight - "you're starting to look decent."0
-
You have such a pretty face (read - your body is a disaster)0
-
“You are so pretty, too bad about the weight.” I was 40lbs lighter than I am now. Gah!!
After a super short pixie cut: “Love your hair; I could never get away with that.”
“It’s okay, you’ve had twins.” I weighed the same these past 10-years or so.
Stranger in the store…“I’ve always liked women with big butts.” I moved away quickly.0 -
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?!
In some places any adult, even one who's in late teens will be addressed by strangers as ma'am or sir. It is polite.0 -
I get called manwhore a lot :laugh:
That's a compliment surely?
Exactly, but people seem to think its a negative...0 -
I dont know why, but i love being called maam. i think its sexy for some reason. second the rude thing.. my aunt got gastric (not for me me but it works for others so its all g) and she lost about 80-100 pounds and last time i saw her she said " oh josie pretty soon youll look just like me!" something along those lines. thing is.. she lost the weight so rapidly with no exercise and she is NOT fit. also she aged about 20 years, her face just fell and its bat wing city.. i just stayed quiet. but thought. yeah.. no thats never gonna happen. im just going to be eating right and working hard. no way do i EVER wanna look like you in anyway, even if it would be cool to hanglide with my own skin.0

"You're much more beautiful than I remember"0

Visited some friends in India and one of the family members wife had recently had a baby. They wanted me to travel there to visit the baby and were so disapointed that I couldn't fit it in to my schedule because "... she's like you you will love her". When i saw a picture of one of the chubbiest babies I had seen.
They care very much for me it was said with the utmost affection but still. Heh 0 -
How about a nickname of a "fatty" from a friend (actually I didn't mind it - can you believe that?) and after I had lost some weight, "we need to change her hair style now"!
Now that I think of it, it was not even a polite but more like a blatant insult.0 -
And not weight related but work related - walking out of a meeting in which I made some strong points and got my way a colleague said to me "I wish i was a ***** like you!"
Thank you? 0 -
Aren't all weight loss compliments somewhat of an insult! I mean they are insulting how you looked before lol.
I got, 'wow you have lost a TON of weight' ...really people a ton? try 40 pounds not 2000!0 -
At my wedding, in front of all the people who are important to my wife and I, my mothers speech included this gem; "Your sisters and I thought you'd be in jail by now.
Nice.0 -

Yes i agree with that. I had lost a lot of weight before (unfortunately I found it again). But I really hated those comments. Compliment me on my effort, my determination, my health but tell me i look so much better like I was ugly before. ack!0 -
Before I lost the weight and was still a chunky monkey, several times I heard people say when seeing a pic of me in my 20's when I was skinny: "Wow! You were so beautiful! It doesn't even look like you!" Um. Thanks?0
-
Me : Wow, Adele!! Omg you were soooo skinny....... I hope youll look like that after you lose some weight.....Well, uh. What do I look like now?0
-
Your such a skinny elephant!!
LOL....0
