Tactless remarks.

This reminds me of DDs wedding when her friend had flown in from Geneva. She jumped out of her hire car wearing old jeans and a green sweater - middle of June.
‘It’s ok Joanne’ said I ‘you’ve got enough time to get changed’. Bet you’ve guessed: that was her wedding outfit. Foot in mouth time for me!

Again to my poor old colleague on answering the phone: “ Oh dear you sound just like I feel!” And she was trying hard to sound cheerful and friendly!

My mum's sister had a big family of grown up children, and they were very outspoken.
We were looking through some old photos while visiting, and my aunt said to her daughter "F* me, Silvia! This picture was taken in the 60s and you've still got the same hairstyle!"

I was, self deprecatingly, trying to explain away how I'd put on some weight. I said to my Dad, 'I'm fighting looking scrawny.' He replied, 'And winning dear, winning!'
I went on a diet.

I am the eldest of three Daughters, always the plainest , being lazy I never bothered with all that beauty regime, water and a face flannel did me , after of years of remarks about my plainness I now get told about my beautiful skin ! Karma or what ?

I love these, sodapop.
They're a real tonic amongst all the rubbish going on in the world.

Oh MissA that last one really made me laugh

I once said to a lady serving me at a checkout ‘ I bet you can’t wait to put your feet up’. She only had one leg. ?

My mum does it ALL the time with me!! Tactless or just B****y rude I'm not sure ?

At the end of a 12.5 hour shift, I went to help the last lady to get ready for bed, and wearily sat down for a minute.
She said I looked worn out, and when I said I felt it, she asked "Have you got a lovely husband at home to spoil you when you get in"?
I said I didn't, and she said "Oh, love, I am sorry. Mind you, you've really let yourself go lately".

Not so much a remark, but for some time when I was a lot younger than I am now (not a difficult thing to be...) I had a relation who gave me a bottle of Oil of Ulay as it then was and a pair of support tights. Never worked that one out.

My (late) Mother in Law said I was "barrel-shaped". She wasn't wrong but she was no model herself.

My Granny once told me that I was lucky that I had one good leg anyway. She wouldn't tell me which one!!

Late MIL was known for 'foot in mouth' and one of hers was a sideways swipe about quiet, little me to my husband about a lively, vivacious friend, "I wish you'd married someone like LVF instead of QLM!"

Headmistress of my son's infant school - "He's very bright - does he take after his father?".

A friend asked if she could borrow some of my clothes for a "Vicars and Tarts" party and she didn't mean a dog-collar.

fiorentina just seen your post. This seems to be quite a common experience ?

A friend said she'd pay me a flying visit because she knew I was going out. After a quick cup of tea she said, "Well I'll let you go now as you'll want to get changed to go out." I said, "I HAVE already changed to go out."

My MIL asked me when she first saw my baby daughter "how did two such plain people produce such a beautiful baby"

I was giving a lift to an old lady. My ten year old daughter was in the car. The old one said "how come you have such a pretty daughter ?"

Collecting my 5 year old daughter from school one afternoon, another mum looked at her and said, "so she's YOUR daughter! But, she's so pretty?"
It was the "but" and the quizzical look that got me!

I asked my ex husband, just after we got back from honeymoon how he thought I looked on our wedding day - did he think I had looked pretty? or even beautiful?
His reply ? "No, but your dress was nice!!"
Any surprise he's my ex????

Not me but a colleague who had two very pretty daughters: “Do they take after their dad?”

My first meal for friends after I was married: Best Man's wife: 'However did you manage to produce such a meal from such a tiny kitchen', followed by: 'what lovely glasses, who did you borrow them from'?

When we moved into our 3rd home and my mum came to see it she commented “Oh this is the best house you’ve had” obviously implying she didn’t really like the other two.
