    Default WTF? DO you people have no manners??

    OMG.

    This morning one of MIL's friends comes over for something, and he meets my husband for the first time. He says:

    "Hey there! Wow, you're a big guy! Big boy!"



    WTF??? How polite is that to say when first meeting someone? My husband is on the bigger side, but why would you point it out to someone like that? Um hello, he knows he needs to lose weight, that's just fucking rude to say and it hurts R's feelings, but he's polite and laughs it off in front of these people.

    I told R it was rude and he says "Yeah, that's what all of Mom's friends have been saying when they meet me".

    Um, does NO ONE here have any damn manners?

    W....T....F.

    I don't think that's very nice either. Depending upon my mood I might would have said something to her about it. I probably would have said "Wow, you have a big mouth".

    Oh I hate rude people. It's my pet hate.

    You know i totally understand your husband's reaction - part embarrassment and partly just trying not to be rude back. But I wish more people would turn around to these rude pricks and point out their rudeness to them.

    I used to take an insult with either an embarrassed laugh and/or say "thanks" sarcastically. But since I got a little older and grew even more intolerant to rudeness I now turn around and say something like "well aren't you rude" or "are you always this rude?" because I think attention should be drawn to bad manners.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    It was a GUY also. Um, how rude!!


    I didn't get to say anything to the guy because I was in the bedroom and heard them outside.

    This is really bothering me. The rudeness. i don't even know how I even bring it up to MIL. I mean they are her friends, and after that guy says that I hear her say "Yeah, I told you about him!"

    Personally, I think it's his issue to bring up to MIL. She's his family, therefore his "problem" to deal with. I know that it bothers you to see his feelings hurt, but bringing it up to her (especially since you guys live with her, right?) might cause unnecessary tension between the two of you (you and MIL), and that would cause R alot more discomfort than these comments, no?

    I think that is really mean, too. It's like when I have been heavier and a guy thought it was cute to call me "thick".

    That's really ignorant but for some reason people think it's okay to make of somebody's weight.

    It's totally rude, I think its a clear indiction on his weight.....I've been on that end when i was big, and its no-fun being called out about it.... though I did ocassionally use the line "well i can loose the weight, you can't loose the ugly"...

    Also, wtf is with the "Boy" part.....I also find that rude, overall I think she is trying to gain the upper-hand in this meeting/relationship, put him down=putting herself higher then him.

    That's very rude and mean, he has no manners and don't care if he hurts people's feelings for saying something like that.

    I'm not surprised. It's Lake County after all. The Arkansas of NoCal. (No offense to Arkansans meant). When the valley just north of Napa began to transition from rural/orchards to tracts of vineyards and subdivisions, those inclined toward the slower paced life got out and a good many settled in Lake County. They're alot "folksier" up there. Doesn't excuse rudeness, though.

    I had a best friend who was pretty overweight when I was young & she always used that line on guys who were jerks.

    Oooh ooh ooh, I have one!

    Last night I was out at the bar my roommate works at, just sitting alone and doing crossword puzzles and nursing my 8 oz. of hard cider because, you know, Teef can't hold her liquor. So, since I'm wicked irresistable, this guy comes up and starts talking to me. Young. Cute. But you know, I'm not single, and I'm not really into idle chatter. So I was not especially receptive at first, but he was suprisingly NOT sleazy, or flirtatious, or really anything but just plain nerdy, and actually quite nice. So maybe this was my mistake, but I get into it with him, and we chat it up for a while about school and crosswords and science. We're having a nice, unsexy conversation, when quite rudely and out of blue he says, "Can I have your number now?" WTF. "Now?" So I sputter a bit about the blatancy of it all, and explain that I'm seeing someone, and didn't really think our conversation had been going that way, and, no, he cannot have my number now, WTF? And he just gets up and walks away, just like a stripper turned down for a dance.

    Maybe I'm going soft, but it bothered me-- like, actually hurt my gooey little feelings-- to be treated all ambush-style like no more than a gatekeeper to pussy. Blah. And I'm trying to work past seeing men as more than potential erections with wallets attached... but maybe I shouldn't even bother.

    ohhh...I have a great one!

    I have a chicken pock scar right in the middle of my forehead. It's not big, but without makeup, it is noticable.

    Anyway, I'm sitting in a bar and this guy walks up and starts talking to me. All the sudden, he flicks me right in the forehead and says" What, did ya get shot with a bb gun?"

    I was soo shocked ha a complete stranger actually flicked me in the head and said that, I stood there speechless. God I wish I had faster reflexes I would have flicked him in the nut sac.

    You know what, keep a roll of a sticker in your purse at all times and when someone says something stupid, rude, ignorant and or just plain obnoxious, take the sticker out and place it on their mouth, the sticker should read "If this opens, shit will come out of it"

    MAn people are just fucking asses at times.

    ^^^Hahahaha that's a good idea. I've had a similar desire to silkscreen the words "Shush Plz" on all my clothes. This way, anytime someone tried to strike up what would invariably be an idiotic conversation, I could just point to my shirt and sigh.

    Has he been gone a long time? They might just mean that the last time they saw him he was a kid and now he's all grown up.
