What is the most insulting thing someone has said to you?

[Anonymous]

1) I am VERY fair, and walking into a mall one day two women looked at me and said, 'OMG, someone needs to go to a tan spa!'

2) 4th grade. My friend asked the boy I liked if he liked me and he said, "No, I can't like her. Everyone would think I was weird!"

This statement has been fuel for a lot of amazing things I've gone on to do.

I love this because the popular guy from high school was interested in me, and I was flattered. It didn't last long, and he told me he wanted a "college girl" instead. God bless these a-hole guys, because they don't know how many favors they did and continue to do for you and I. Every time someone is an a-hole, I think of this, and realize it only does me good

Anyway, this made me think of a situation when I accidentally said something offensive. Really drunk, standing in the bathroom line at my 5-year high school reunion, I struck up a conversation with a girl from my class (not a friend but a small school so everyone knew everyone). She showed me a picture of her new son. At 23, the thought of motherhood was totally foreign to me (I had my first child at 36) but I was genuinely happy for her. So, I meant to rhetorically say, “Wow, do you just love being a mom?!” Instead, it came out as “Do you love him?” Ugh. She was totally offended and I was too drunk to explain myself. My parents don’t live where I went to high school any more so it is unlikely that I will ever see her again and, if I did, I don’t know how I would bring up such an ancient conversation without it sounding really weird. But I do feel bad about it.

Who has a 5 year HS reunion? But I digress..

My school had a 5 year reunion. It happens.

My high school and college and law school had five year reunions.

-- Being accused of cheating on a college paper because the professor felt it sounded too much like a graduate school level analysis. Had to challenge the failing grade and prove that I wrote the paper. Then, when it was regraded, I was given a "B"!

-- Being told that I looked like my mom's maid. Age 8. My mom said it. (I still hate that "maid" is considered an insult).

-- Being told by a friend of my parents that I would never find a husband because I wore glasses. Age 12.

My DH told his ex-wife that a cat was a better mother and beyond an egg and a uterus, her contribution to their children was unremarkable. He also told her that she should be thanking me for being willing to step up and become the mother the kids had always deserved.

All this about a week after we got custody of my stepkids. She really is a terrible mother. She sees the kids an average of one time a year for two or three days. The kids were 4 and 6 when we gained custody. They are 21 and 18 now and have almost no relationship with their biological mother. Still, those words haunt me because I know they had to devastate her.

This is horrible on so many levels. Your DH sounds like a douche. His XW sounds like a basket case. You, not sure what to think of you for posting this. Do you all live in a trailer park?

We were at a dinner party at my mom's friend's home. While my mom was in another room, the hostess commented to some of the other guests about how unfortunate it was that I didn't get my mom's good looks...while I was standing there with them. I was 9 years old

In my graduate physics program, when I got the highest score on a comprehensive exam that only two of us passed, a rumor made its way back to me that the exam was somehow written by the prof to give me (little old me!) an edge and that's the only way I passed when everybody else failed. That hurt because the people spreading it were people I considered friends. Luckily it's so patently false that I could let it slide off my back.

My father (an attorney), when I told him I was leaving law school because it was terribly wrong for me: "What are you going to do, sell aluminum siding?"

My ex-wife said, "I do believe you are the most idiotic man on the face of this earth to even consider wanting to spend the rest of your life with a selfish evil cunt like me and to prove it I swear I'm going to make your life a living hell."

Actually she just said, "I do" but that pretty much sums up what she meant although I didn't realize it at the time.
Very insulting.

My DH really isn't a douche. This happened a very long time ago in a moment of intense anger. His ex-wife was neglecting the children. No, we do not live in a trailer park. However, not sure how that is relevant. There are a lot of wonderful, hard working people who do live in mobile homes. Your comment says much more about you than you realize. That comment may be someone else's "most insulting thing". Perhaps a little self-reflection on your part is in order.

Lots of women have told their exes they were nothing but a sperm donor or a deadbeat dad.

I fail to see how your post was an insult to you. Your DH's XW yes but not you.

Well when they post here, I may comment.
