Insults

[scheherazade_79]

What's the worst you've ever had?

Me? Being told by a teenager that my head was so far up my own arse, I could see daylight. It was nothing personal - just what he said to any adult who happened to piss him off. Nobody had ever said something like that to me before, though

 

[scheherazade_79]

Another:

Being forced to serve food to a conductor during a formal dinner - just because I had the misfortune of sitting next to him. First he told me I'd make someone a very good little wife, then when I slapped a pile of mashed potato on his plate in annoyance, he called me a stroppy cow. He didn't quite trust me to pour his gravy, though

Ive had to listen to so many in my life that i dont think i could remember let alone pick the worst...

they may not be the worst ive had to hear but they hurt the most considering who said them.

''You're so fucking thick and stupid, what the fuck is the point, i dont know why you bother. Wasting all that money at university and you cant even do this little thing right.''

''Go home paki'' (wtf...im not Pakistani.. ignorant idiot...)

there are many more but my mind doesnt want to recollect them at the moment.

You have to learn to laugh at them, Grace - otherwise they'd drive you insane

 

[scheherazade_79]

Being told by my mother that I looked like Albert Steptoe after coming out of the hairdresser's one day...

That really does depend on who it is, does it not? i can laugh at the strangers. Its the others that psoe the problem.

ps. i am insane...remember

 

[scheherazade_79]

Being instructed by my mother to zip up my jacket and hunch my shoulders so that I could get into a garden centre at the reduced Under-15s rate. This was two years ago... when I was 25.

I don't know... I wore a tight-fitting pair of jeans once, and got told by my dad that my arse looked like two ripe peaches having a fight. That was kind of funny

*resists urge to burst into laughter* LMFAO! *couldnt resist!*

It also depends on what is being said.

So, who and what, what tone and over what. Eg. arguement with mother last week i told you about...

My problem is that whenever I get into arguments, they develop a slightly farcical edge, which results in neither person being able to take the other seriously.

I have other friends like that, my arguements never become remotely funny.

Yup... I was 13 at the time. It gave me a complex for life

 

[Misty_Morning]

My ex-husband once told me I was a failure as a woman because I couldn't even give birth to a healthy child.

This fucked with my head for quite sometime.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

What's the worst you've ever had?

My worst was while I was at University in the states. A 6ft 250 pound male at the bar who had been drinking told me (who had also been drinking) I was a hideously grotesque person and my burns made him ill. I was told he ended with 'you should have died in that accident.'

Then I was told I sorta growled and then little oh 5ft 2 in me reached out and broke his damn nose.

I however had drank to much and did not remember what had happened till later when the said male (with great big bandage on his nose) kept sorta going in a different direction every time I got near him in our class. Then when they told me in class what happened I turned red with anger and he promptly got up and walked out of the class.

Wow! Great story

I have insulted myself far worse than anyone else ever could (people are so boring and uncreative), and I'll be dammed if I can remember the best ones.

The most insulting thing said to me though, was from my younger brother, and he has said it more times than I can count. He will ask me a question, and then when I start to answer he will tell me, "No one cares."

Not only was I answering his question, but then he tells me that not only does he not care but NO ONE does? It hurts. Sometimes I just want to punch him in the throat so he never talks to me again.

 

[Liar]

My ex-husband once told me I was a failure as a woman because I couldn't even give birth to a healthy child.

I'd like to point out that saying that made him an instant failure as a man.

 

[Liar]

I was told four days ago by an aged professor that I was making a mockery out of the entire idea of higher education.

Must have been something I said. But I have no idea what.

 

[oggbashan]

I was described on a confidential annual appraisal as:

"He is built like an old-fashioned London Policeman, and barges through life as if no one could stand in his way. His body outgrew his brain years ago."

My supervisor who wrote that was suffering from disseminated rheumatism that caused her severe pain. It was one of her bad days. I had carried her in my arms from her office to the first aid room so that she could lie down. I had been doing much of her work for several years because of her ill-health. She resented my fitness and my competence.

That appraisal was overruled by her supervisor and I was promoted after a comment "He has endured daily insults from the supervisor he carried at work and sometimes had to carry physically. I know of no one else who would have supported her for so long."

A few months later my supervisor was medically retired. I knew her before her illness. Her anger and resentment were symptoms - not the real person.

Even so, some of the insults hurt.

[R. Richard]

At a young age, I lived in a mostly Negro environment. The art of surviving as a young Nefgro male was sufficiently difficult that they played a sort of game called "the dozens." The dozens was a sequence of ritual insults. The underlying purpose was that the young Negro male would get so used to the insults that he would not respond and perhaps damage himself.

The worst insult I ever had pushed on me was a teacher who told me, "You could learn this if you really wanted to." "This" was a totally useless course of study that had as its sole purpose the teaching of other people the totally useless course of study. I managed to avoid killing the bitch, but it was a close thing.

've gotten that more times than I can remember. The answer from 6th grade and up has always been the same: "Yes. And your job is to make me want to."

 

[Vermilion]

I was once told, many moons ago "No wonder you don't have any friends" by a close family member.
We have since, also many moons ago, forgiven and forgotten all the insults hurled in the heat of the moment. I got my temper from them and when we went head to head - well, sparks would fly. That's changed since I got ill, no I burst into tears at the first sign of confrontation. I hate being so wet, but <shrugs> it's physiological.

[Stella_Omega]

My sister called me a few months back. She said "Stella, you have Asburger's syndrome! This explains everything!"

I, very carefully, said: "Honey, I'll be glad to ask my shrink to screen me for Asburger's,but what happens if we find out that I'm not autistic?"

She said, "No, that's it, and I don't have to be angry at you any more."

My shrink laughed when I told him.

She keeps expecting me to be her sister, when I'm really her brother. If I were visibly male, she wouldn't expect me to be a mind-reader.

 

[CeriseNoire]

I'm a teacher, so I get insulted on a fairly regular basis. It rarely ever fazes me these days. I did have a parent call me a "stupid nigger" once during a conference we had with administration.

I get told daily that I'm mean by students (because I assign homework, because I expect them to read the directions before asking a question, etc). I usually just reply that I never told them I was nice in the first place.

I did once have a SO tell me that I was cold and insensitive. That one did hurt.

 

[SeaCat]

*shrug*

I tell my post operative patients they can call me any names they want as I'm getting them up. I also tell them I'll give them extra points if they call me something new, but that I haven't given out extra points in a long time.

As for the most insutling comments I have received?

One was by my supervisor a while back. It was called a job review. In the comments section my super said that while I knew my job and did it well I was not a team player and wasn't willing to pick up extra duties. (It was then that I stopped doing many of the extras I did around the unit. Little things like doing the morning assignments in the morning, the schedules. Small things like repairing the beds and machines. Minor details like making sure there were enough Bio-Hazard Boxes made and the Sharps Boxes were set up correctly. I also stopped doing the two to three extra shifts a week that was needed to keep the unit running smoothly. My boss soon changed the Job Review.)

Another was from my brother. I had just found a place here in Florida when he called me from Texas. He informed me that the problems being shown by my sisters kids were due to my moving and that I was trying to destroy the family.
