When I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter (I was 22), I was walking home from work and munching on a beautiful, juicy granny smith apple. I walked by an outdoor café and some jerk yelled out to me "have another donut sweetheart!" It still upsets me to this day...

    Some woman was sitting in her car at the lights as I crossed the road, she had her window down and said to me, very loudly "You're too F**king young to be knocked up!"

    I was 32. And not pregnant.

    I have a service dog, so I get a lot of rude or ignorant comments. I guess the worst instance was a woman chasing me down in a store screaming "Ma'am! Ma'am are you blind?! MA'AM?!" not a worker, just some... psycho. I ignored her at first but she continued, and even still after I explained "No, he is a mobile assistance and alert dog." Of course I always get people telling me I don't "look disabled" too, so is the life of invisible illnesses.

    That or once standing in line for a water slide these girls tried getting out of line, but because of a fence had to squeeze between my friends and I. I didn't know at first because they were just standing there before finally rudely saying "excuuuse us", to which I apologized and let them by, then as they walked off I hear them say as they looked back "Yea because of that skinny *kitten*". I said "Excuse me, do you have something to say to me?" They scooted off, scared that I had heard them.

    I was at the 7-11 buying a coffee and a lotto ticket. The guy behind the counter asked me when I was due. Thank goodness I was pregnant, but only by 2 months so I wasn't showing yet...

    Worried and exhausted, in line at the pharmacy to pick up medicine for my brand new son, and a well-meaning elderly lady counseled, "you are wrong to have that baby out of the house this early."
    Should I have left him at home alone or not bothered with his potentially life-saving medicine, I wondered (but didn't respond, out of respect).

    My son it's autistic and has a sensory disorder and has melt downs in public places when there are large groups of people around. A lady once came up to me while he was having a meltdown in kmart and told me i needed to spank him more. That really ticked me off so i told her where to go!

    A guy I DIDN'T know asked me who I was going home with after the club. I told him, I don't know you and you don't know me, I COULD HAVE AIDS OR SOMETHING. He replied it don't matter, we young. LITTLE BOY REALLY?

    When my son was born, my wife and I went out to a store with him. An old lady asks how old he was. We said 5-8 weeks (I can't remember exactly). Her response - oh why does mommy have you out if the house so early??

    My wife and I just looked at each other.

    I have a tattoo of a quote going down my upper arm. I was at a gas station and a woman say it and said to me "good luck finding a meaningful full time job with that garbage on you" I kindly said back- I'm employed full time and it's not any of her business and if she'd like to see my 4 other tattoos I'd be glad to show them to her. :| some people...

    I once had a guy at the gym tell me "How can you jump rope that fast and you are still fat?" He was not a total stranger which was the only reason why I let it side as maybe he genuine wants to know why. I just laughed at said my diet sucks. I need to change it and we both laughed and went back to working out.

    When I was in high school working at a fast food restaurant, I once had a Caucasian customer and his wife tell me he didn't want me serving him because I was Hispanic. He wanted a white person to serve him. My manager ended up taking their order. Wish she would've refused him service instead!

    Thought crossed my mind, but that wouldn't change his hatred. Only fuel it.
