Worse or most ignorant thing said to you from a total stranger...
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.0 -
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.0 -
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...0

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).0 -
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!0

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?0

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.0 -

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.

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.0

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!0

Was it a Taco Bell or Burrito place?-1 -

Totally wrong move by the manager. Sometimes, losing a customer isn't such a bad thing.0 -

I'm so sorry this happened. Do you ever wonder if these boys - all grown up with girls of their own maybe - think about mean, nasty things they did/said and wish they could tell you how wrong they were? I hope so - and that they are teaching their boys to be kind.0 -
Yeah... she was kind of a wimp...If I hadn't needed the money, I'd have walked off the job.shawnyates wrote: »labeastette wrote: »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.

I was doing my internship as a medical assistant and was bringing back one of my first patients ever. It was someone with a severe mental handicap and part way through intake their caregiver looked up from her Gameboy and asked "Are you new?" I said that I was. "I kinda figured. You're really not very good at this." Total motivation killer right there.
A few years and a couple of merit raises later, I think I've come around.0 -
The student section of a basketball team we played called me fatass all game as I face guarded their best player (6 inches taller than me) all game.
I held him to 6 points and sank a buzzer beater to win the game...0 -
Total stranger in a forum asked me twice "whom are you talking too". That wasn't the ridiculous part. Since it was obvious I wasn't talking to her, and because it seemed like she was picking a fight, I got a little grammar nazi on her about the use of "whom" and spelling "to" with 2 o's and also asked her why she said it twice? Turns out she was the moderator. The ridiculous part is she then threatened to shut me down and delete me for being a BULLY. When I copy pasted the definition of BULLY into the thread (basically someone who threatens or uses their power to intimidate, control, or force someone to do what they want), it was all over. Needless to say I'm banned from that group. LOL!
The only other thing that really sticks with me was a total stranger at a salad bar. I was trying to get some bowtie pasta, and there was a big clump of pasta stuck to the ladle. So, with each scoop I was only getting a couple of little bowties onto my plate. After a few attempts, the stranger who was standing there waiting says "Are you going to take it all?" And to my surprise, this guy who looked like he could have been my dad, was not at all kidding. I think I was 19 years old, skinny as a rail, shy as could be, and too shocked and mortified to respond. It has always bothered me that I didn't tell that rude jackwagon off.0 -
I am only 31, but due to genetics I have been getting grey hair since my mid twenties (thanks dad!). Anywho, I dye my hair usually every 6-8 weeks and I was in between dye jobs when some guy who worked in my building, but in a different department came up to me one day and was like, huh...you sure have a lot of wisdom, don't you? I was like what? Well, with all that grey hair, you must be very wise.
Thanks a lot jack@ss! (oh, it was in a room full of people too)0 -
I don't even know where to start...
I think the worst was when I went to a moms dinner with an friend while I was visiting her. One of them asked me what I did. When I said I was a sahm, she looked at me with disgust. Asked if it was on purpose or did my husband was making me. I said it was a choice we made together. Then she went on about how she planned on setting a better example for her children by working and not being lazy. Might I add she was 8 months pregnant and enjoying her 2nd bahama mama. I was so pissed I just sat there shaking.0
