Seeing as there was an earlier topic for compliments, I thought that I would go the other way.
I have been chubby for most of my life and years ago a group of us at work were talking about beauty etc and I said that I had always looked after my skin, one girl turned round, looked me up and down and said "No good looking after your skin, if you don't look after your body".
I was mortified.
So what catty comments have you had said to you?
I have full lips and when I was a kid, I was always being teased about them. I used to get get called Mick Jagger a lot by certain people but I remember this boy in school I really liked called me it too one day. I was heartbroken and so upset by this that I cried when I got home from school.
Just no need for nastiness to others. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
Honestly i think i've had a lot of bad things said to me, I used to get bullied a lot.
I've always been tall and skinny. I think Mommy Long Legs was the nicest name I was called. When I got older, they got meaner...
I was told by guys, fucking me would be like fucking a rake or a twig or a clothes hanger and I'd probably snap in half.
The girls were worse tho. They used to ask me, every day, how many times I barfed.
Anorexic, Bulemic, Barf Bag Princess, Chew and Spew, all kinds of mean things.
It got to the point the guidance counsellors and school nurse got involved and tried to send me off for counselling and therapy at a mental institution for my "eating disorder"
A person's weight should never matter - big or small - calling them fat OR skinny is hurtful
I came in for a lot of ignorant racist abuse when I was a kid growing up in an all white provincial town, I'm Indian by origin... there were good people there too but it took me a long time to realise that the ignorant ones knew no better!
There are a lot of cruel people in the world and I don't know whether it is because they think they are being superior, clever or what, but it just isn't funny.
I remember a lot of hurtful things... from a lot of people lol
But when I was in grade 6, I added on a lot of weight in grade 5 and 6 because of emotional problems... parents getting divorced etc.
All the guys called me names and I clearly remember being called Jigglypuff. For a while, I tried to ignore it and think.. "hey, it's because I can sing" or sumthing...
but then on my birthday, everyone in the beginning of the year draws a card and when it's your birthday you get one filled out by everyone...
when my birthdai came around, everyone signed it.. and when I looked at, I just broke down and cried because it was full of rude comments...
the teacher found out and gave them all detention... and I actually felt bad for them... oh well
I was told by a few people that "your a strong women and your sister is going to be just fine" when she was in the middle of dieing from stage 4 ovarian cancer which there is no cure for. People are fucking idiots and those people right after spouting those words of wisdom magically disappeared from sight go figure! That horrid episode in life showed me who my real friends are.

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! My ex said my youngest son is contemptuous of me and my eldest is indifferent.
OOps didn't realise it was a question for females only.
I can relate to everyone of you here, with the name calling, the rudeness. As a child in school I used to get called all kinds so funky things because of my last name, it was Barnes so you can guess the names I was called due to that. Then I was an early developer by the time I was 9 I had to wear a bra and so then I got the hey falsie names. As my self confidence went out the window my weight went up the cruelest thing that was ever said to me was a little chant the kids in school used to sing at me.
Fatty fatty 2x4 couldnt get through the kitchen door, so her momma kept her in the Barn with
the rest of the cows.
My mother moved me from that school but it still hurt.
I'm still heavy and it took me years to realize that people only say and do nasty things to make themselves look and feel better.
It has been scientifically proven that any woman can be satisfied with only 3 1/2 inches --- and it doesn't matter if it is Visa or Mastercard
When a young man at a department store said, "Ma'am I am sorry we don't have that shoe in your size." AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH.
Thinking back to my school days I did get teased a lot, but it has continued through my adult life and it is only since I have retired and no longer have to be in a work environment that I can now be amongst the people I choose to be with.
I have a very long list of stuff like this but ones that have stuck are: "You are the biggest disappointment. You can never do anything right. Life would be better if you werent around. No one would notice If you never showed up again. You are worthless. No matter who you are with you will always be the ugly one in the group. You are not a part of this family"
