Am I being over sensitive

bet his wife took care of it when they went inside so forget lt! some people have no filter!

I would have taken it as an insult as well. I like Merlot's response. Perhaps next time you see him, you can mutter something about an 'itchy rash'.

I don't think it's ever a good idea to call somebody out and ask what they mean. It makes you the victim.

Just a curt, 'How rude' or a sarcastic, 'Clearly Lockdown has been an advantage for you then.' would have made him realise you were not impressed.

If you have to be in his company again ignore any intimidating remarks.

Be the better person.

it does sound and feel unpleasant to me. avoid them.

I think it depends how it was said. With a grin it would be a [possibly bad] attempt at a joke, with a straight face I might have been tempted to ask him what he meant?

I'd have laughed ! But that's my sense of humour which can confuse some.

You are not being over sensitive at all - it was a rotten thing to say and he did mean something by it. There’s nothing to over analyse at all - he’s horrible, that’s quite simple.

Don't let it upset you but be one step ahead the next time you meet him. Have a few retorts up your sleeve just in case.

Nothing worse than a smart a**e.

I’m with Summerlove I would have been upset, but I would have asked him to explain why he said that.
Get it out in the open, rather than think they are talking about it behind closed doors.

Just a clumsy response to you, I doubt it means anything, let it go and don’t over analyse.

I’d be quite hurt by that honestly.

Try to let it pass you by, but pay attention to cues once socialising is allowed again.

If something is mentioned in the future, I’d ask right away what that meant,

Don’t take it to heart, he has probably got the lockdown blues.. I think Covid has left some people remaining much the same, with a few ups and downs, some are sensitive and others a bit grouchy. Please don’t upset by a single remark, it’s just not worth it, the he time you meet he will probably have forgotten all about it.

I think you need to let this wash by - sometimes people open their mouths and put their foot in it with no negative intent. I am sorry it has upset you.

I wouldn't over think it.He probably meant nothing by it.
