the rudest thing someone has ever told you?

Being nerdy and non-religious in the south is a bad combination. I've lost count of the times I've been told I'm going to hell for not going to church, not praying, etc.

Also, I held the door open once for a (very) pregnant lady, she glared at me and said " I could have gotten that myself!" and waddled off. I just said "you're welcome?" and stood there in shock.

I use to get that all the time. But not from strangers. I've always been skinny and my grandma would tell me I looked like the "holocaust" and I always thought it was hilarious. It never actually bothered me but thinking back it really was just rude.

How bad can Hell really be? Satan gets a bad rap but why? He accepts God's rejects.
 
To me personally: Was leaving a Starbucks with girlfriend in LA. As I was getting in my car a stranger asked for money. I apologized and said I don't carry cash, which is true, and went on my way. He then said, in a resentful tone, "Oh you just have it all don't you?"

It's probably not the rudest thing ever, but it bothered me then and still does. I don't "have it all," by any means.

Another one I like is this. My girlfriend in LA is Latina. I speak and understand fluent Spanish at near native level. One time we were at a store somewhere and a worker said to her, in Spanish, "You're not any better just because your boyfriend is white and has a lot of money."

She literally had no reason at all to assume anything about me or my gf, much less that i "have a lot of money." I still kinda regret that I played it off like I didn't understand her. I was just so shocked because attitudes like that would never fly back in my home state (WI).
 
When I asked the engineering advisor at my school about advice for transferring into their department, he took a look at my bad grade in precalculus and told me that department statistics showed that my kind of student would almost never make it to sophomore level engineering classes. He basically called me too stupid to engineer.

I got into a better engineering department and now I'm graduating with a great job and honors distinction, so the joke's on him.

I'm going to tape a screenshot of my graduation application to his office door next to a list of local burn centers.

One time, my friends and I were silently sneaking around a dark mine. While my friend was reading a book, I accidentally knocked a bucket attached with a long chain into a well. My friend just closes his book and calls me a fool, and then yells,"throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity"

So mean.

Although it sounds crazy, it's not a big deal if you had known her, the place, and the situation.

Oh, also, fuck you.

Fuck you? Really? So it's somehow his fault that you failed to provide any context?

Sorry, but I'm in complete agreement that that original post made you sound like an asshole.
 
In an elevator with a mother and a young boy. I'm a fat fuck, and I see the kid staring at me and I knew it was coming and sure enough the kid says "Why are you so fat?" It happens a lot, no biggie, my standard response is something along the lines of "I ate too much junk food" and smile to defuse the situation.

Most parents are embarrassed as shit and apologize and I wave it off, kids will be kids. However this one mom doesn't say anything after the kid says it, and as she's getting off the elevator turns and says "He's right, you should lose a few hundred pounds" and walks off. The fuck?
 
Was on our company messenger system talking to this girl whom I had known through a co-worker and hung out with at a recent party. Was just talking random crap and wasn't saying anything remotely suggestive. She was all friendly up to that point and then randomly tells me, "Why are you bothering me. I'm not interested in you." =/

Best thread ever.
 
I remember being head-over-heels in love with this girl in my 1st grade class. It was legitimately the first "crush" I ever had. She was just so beautiful. Every time I saw her I thought this to myself, like some automatic David Attenborough narration that was triggered on sight.

I can't quite remember the context of how or why we had a moment of "alone" time, but I do remember it was organic and innocuous, like a group project or exchanging cards on Valentines day - which we all did with the entire class, no matter how we felt about one another - even the opposite sex.

Anyways, there we were. This was my moment to share my feelings. Just her and me. I looked her in the eyes and told her "I think you are really beautiful". Her face turned down like something sour just got placed on her tongue or smelling salts just got passed under her nose and without skipping a beat replies "I think you are really ugly", gets up from her seat and walks away.

Hold me GAF ;_; thanks for the thread

This has to be one of the worst insults to take as a guy. There is something you can do about it. No surgery. If you're overweight losing some weight can help but thats about it (not implying your overweight). Sorry to hear you were insulted like this. Can be a big confidence destroyer.

Heh, reminds me of a story about my family. We're Swedish but my grandmother had relatives living in the US (a lot of Swedes emigrated in the late 19th century) and some of them came back to visit. This must have been either during the late 60s or early 70s. For some reason they kept bringing up how skinny my dad was and joking how they weren't feeding him enough. Him being skinny was true by the way, in Sweden everyone was back then, my father in particular since he's had a passion for long distance running since childhood.

This turned out to be a most deadly insult. My grandparents held it in, of course - we are Swedish after all. But once the guests returned home pretty much all connections were severed. Overreaction? Not really. Want to know why part of my grandmother's family emigrated in the first place? Famine. To her, this was equal to accusing her of child abuse.

It's been almost 50 years. Relations were not restored - at this point, she's on track to beat the US trade blockade of Cuba. Not just that - she still brings it up regularly if something that's even close to do with the US is mentioned.

So yeah. Don't skinny shame.

I don't see much need to take it as an insult, just find another girl who will appreciate it for what it is and enjoy. I'd rather be told and be on my merry than put in any effort for someone who isn't trying.

The average dick is something like 6 and change, over 7 is fine, she was just trying to destroy his psyche.

Not everyone can brush that stuff off though, especially with something you can't change (and there are a lot more things that you can't change about yourself, not just your physical body). It can be real rough especially at a young age (again, not assuming the original post is young) getting hate for what you are.

I went on a blind date years ago. We got along and I thought it went really well. At the end of the date she told me that I'm really nice but she 'had standards for the men she dates" and left by herself.

I was a bigger kid in elementary school and one year we were doing the whole square dancing in gym class thing, and it was whatever the fuck that parts called, where a guy locks elbows and weaves in and out a line full of girls.

Yeah well it was my turn and the hottest girl in the class said politely when I came to her, "you can just skip me"

😭

I could probably fill pages upon pages with stories but the most fucked up one lately was when my dad told me I was a failure and I am the son of a failure.
 
A teacher told me that I had to learn how to distinguish between fact and fiction in front of my whole class. Because she thought my project presentation about the SR-71 was based on something from a video game.
 
Hmmm.

When I was 17 a girl told me she thought I would have a bigger dick, that hurt a bit at the time lol.

When I worked in a record store before I went to uni, my boss told me I never did any work and put my on probation. I was actually the hardest worker in the store so it was incredibly upsetting and frustrating for me. I have no idea what his problem was, spurred me on to get a good education and get the fuck out of retail at least.

Oh when I was a very nervous student nurse in my first year of training, the nurse working with me for a shift on placement told me I was'the worst student she had ever had'. Again incredibly hurtful, I had never even been inside a fucking hospital before.

Years later when I was a qualified critical care nurse, she had to bring a patient to our unit. It might not seem like a big deal but she had a very low oxygen flow running through a mask, this can cause carbon dioxide to build up in a patient who is already in respiratory failure. I pointed it out to her, she looked very embarrassed and it felt amazing. I don't think she remembered me, fucking bitch.
 
I've met some people in my life who have said things "out of context" or they say "don't take it personally" or "we just ignore what you're saying".

I don't know if there would be a grand prize for the rudest thing said to me. I personally think a lot of it was done for a reaction. Some people don't get that their new way of being rude isn't new. It's just people know this stuff already. They aren't the first person to say it.

I know just recently a guy tried offending me, but he asked me "why I wasn't listening to him". It was very strange and I think it was the last time we'll talk because it got extremely awkward. I just think he thought his wit and attitude could turn heads and it couldn't. It feels like the guy who wanted to be a real "jerk" in high school finally got around to what he wanted to be and it can't relate itself to anything besides "go f*** yourself".

The "I don't care" attitude is strange. It tries to set itself apart from everything, but it doesn't do anything then it feels rather pointless. Most the guys I know sit around with their SO's and drink. It's not like they have any better ideas.

I'm a student nurse at the moment and the things nurses say and students would shock you. It's better on the streets. Their entire attitude depicts their position, which is also their ego. Go figure if half of the healthcare workforce are ego-enforced jerks. Moving4Motion, yeah and it's worse as a student nurse hearing that your opinion is some blank slate underneath everyone else. I'd rather work in law enforcement then be told I'm this terrible work person. You'd be better off not having emotions. It feels like a lot of the RN staffs act the same way. I never look a person in the eye if they're wearing scrubs (in public) because of it.

For me personally, the attitudes in RN school have made me want to choose another career path. but it's expensive to do all this and it would mean I wasted all that time and money on nothing.
 
A guy once told me that I am a selfish, forthless piece of shit that will achieve nothing in his life, is a complete zero and whom nobody will ever care about.

Sadly, the person who told me this was my father.

Directly from Facebook from a person I personally know, full quote: "God i hate you. Fucking cock hole. Like, seriously, you bring hate into the world. Pissed off just because people are happy to pay more for their product? Shut the fuck up. You impress no one, no one at all."

This was about me being upset about MS paying Youtubers for positive comments on the Xbone.
 
My best friends of 5 years kicked me out of their group and made a "We Hate Trey Club" and had a picture of my face with a big X over it that said "Fat, Chubby, Shit, Faggot." Invited everone on Myspace. Prank called me every night to tell me how fat I was. I was only like 170lb.

I was invited to the super popular girls party in 8th grade. One of the kids told me I was invited as a joke after. Idk if that was true, but fuckin' rude to say.

I meet my shrink tomorrow for my 6 year relationship with bulimia so HA!

Nothing major if I recall, It's a long time ago. Probably something about my school and how I couldn't focus on it despite him yelling me to. But my dad was always on the edge during that time cause my mom/his wife had passes away suddenly year before and he was depressed and blamed everyone and everything for his bad feeling. He has calmed down a huge amount since then, but it left pretty big scars in all of us which we probably will never completely get over.

That kind of stuff would be awful. I had friends in HS that would stab you in the back if you weren't looking. I go by Trey too. I hate it when your name is used like a physical object.

Recently I received a phone call earlier this year "Student A was with a home healthcare nurse". The same one I had. "I guess they were talking and Student A said you were socially awkward, weird, and asked irrelevant questions in class". I'd get 2 or 3 calls a week about gossip being said and it was mainly bad stuff about me. It's stuff you can ignore, but I'm trying to be nice to these people I just met. I'd ask questions that were more about the science then about nursing and people got mad. I was even told to not ask anymore questions. These people are all from all over the state and it got extremely awkward. It killed a lot of my desire to be in the field.

When you're an adult in this "professional" field and it's like this linguistic drama club then you want to forget you were ever there to begin with. I told the right people (Dean, professors), but it's like they side with the majority. I guess it hit me at a wrong angle. It sure feels like being bullied. I'm been called "dumb, stupid, ugly, fat, etc, etc", so it's not like this is all new to me.
 
One time when we had some friends over years ago, a good friend of mine told me that I really got fat since the last time I saw him.

...He was right. I did get fat. Was like a splash of cold water on the face.

I got better.
