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

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.

Oh, you physics majors are such a catty bunch

We were on the metro a few weeks ago with our two daughters (5yo and 9 month old) There was an older lady on the train with two younger adults in their 20's (male and female) who I assume were her kids. The older woman was smiling and making faces with my 9 month old who was enjoying it. She said I had a cute baby and her daughter turned and said that baby in not cute at all.

My sister was very thin... I was always very chubby. An older relative (don't know how he is related to us... but somehow) came up to my mom and asked her if she only fed me and not my sister. Then a whole group of other relatives laughed so hard. I was 12 and felt horrible for a long time. I have since become quite healthy and in shape, and it still burns!

My job as a teacher is to help these boys, not make saucy girls like you happy.
-HS math teacher, when I complained she was spending too much time trying to get the boys in our class to participate.

You look like Michelle Obama. (I don't think she's pretty. Stylish and accomplished, yes. Pretty, no).

I have a twin sister and she's always been thinner than I am, though I'm still on the thin side of average. We were meeting up with our cousin/aunt/uncle and he said to his mom, "Which one's the fat one?"

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.

Nicely played.

My dad was REALLY shocked and thrown into severe grief that he was not equipped to handle. One night we were arguing and he said "This is why you mom killed herself, you are so hard to deal with." Hearing that really was the worst moment of my life. I was 90 percent sure it was his grief talking but it was still a very intense and awful moment. I told my aunt the next days whos extreme dismay reinforced to me that it wasn't true and she showed me the love I needed to feel. In hindsight it was a true blessing because my aunt and uncle demanded my dad get into therapy or we (the kids) would be taken to live with them. It snapped my Dad out of it and he did get therapy and things did get significantly better from that point on. But man, I remember that argument so vividly and the feeling in my stomach when he said those words!

This is so sad to read, and I seriously can empathize. In my case, my mom attempted suicide while I was (as an adult) visiting from out of town. We argued the night before. She was planning on leaving my dad (that was their business, and I was so proud of how well I handled it, but then she claimed she was going to leave it all behind and go live as a Buddhist monk in a monastery. Yes, she had untreated mental health issues.) My dad and I found her the next morning and she was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, she survived but after a long day at the ER and battling with doctors to have her committed, I came back to their house to find suicide notes left all over the house blaming me for what she thought was going to be her death. It floored me, and still does to some extent. I worked very hard at mending our relationship, and it's a luxury not afforded to you in regards to your mom, and I'm deeply sorry for you for that. I am glad your dad got help, but I totally understand the visceral feeling sometimes in the pit of your stomach when, in my case, I kept finding notes. And another. And another. Man, I gotta stop writing.

When I chose to keep my child conceived via rape, my best friend said "well no one is going to want you now that you have a kid." My son is almost 15. I still hear those words in my head, daily.

Are you "so articulate"?

I'm white, but I have enough black friends that I have heard described that way more than once. Annoying.

It sounds like her daughter was a little jealous.

But I'd wager that the person who said this thinks she is attractive (and that you are as well).

Midway through the meal one guy leaned over and tapped me on the shoulder and said, "you're about, what, 135?" And then they both laughed hysterically. I was a size 8-10 at the time, which I thought was just fine, but this really gutted me. So humiliating.

and DH did what??????????????????????????
