    I've been really taken a back the last few days by people, so much for living in a PC world (not the shop ;)).

    A teacher I had in secondary school, haven't seen her in 15 years or so, met her the other day, she asked where I was living, I said name of town. She then asked who was I married to in name of town, I said I'm not married. She said why are you living in name of town, I said oh I wanted a change of scene. She then asked where was I working, I said I'm not, I'm in college. Thankfully she left at that, I'm a fairly polite person so I couldn't tell her even in the politest of terms to fuck off. But inside I was saying "fuck off and mind your own fucking business bitch".

    Then today I met a woman who I would only know vaguely in passing, anyway I was chatting to her for a few minutes, and she remarked that my three year old is spoiled, you would know it to look at her says she!! Stupid bitch!! She's just about to have her first baby so we'll soon see who is spoiled then :mad:.

    Let's here your stories, I will also take backhanded compliments. I had a girl tell me a while back that I had lost LOADS of weight. Meanwhile I'm crying inside wondering how fat was I!! :eek:

    Don't you have a mobile with which you can natter to other women about this kind of shite?

    Here's your problem right here.
    Stop being so polite, and tell them to fuck off!

    I would have just asked her the same questions back and seen how she answered them :)

    I just can't understand this. A girl who's a friend of mine agrees with you though. I used to think it was something women would like to hear, but I'd never say it now.

    How can you pay someone a compliment with implying they're better than they were before? If someone says when I'm out tonight "Wow, you look great!", am I supposed to read this as an insinuation that I normally don't and hence take offence? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 502 ✭✭✭Lollers


    Don't mind them hairyprincess. It reminds of this old joke. A nosey aul wan is at a wedding, and says to a girl in her early twenties, well you should be next you are not getting any younger. So next time the girl sees the aul biddy at a funeral she says, well you should be next you are not getting any younger either.

    In fairness to the first woman, she met you after 15 years, if she's to be polite, and talk to you, what else is she meant to say/ask, other than things about yourself? If you're going to take offence to everything someone asks about your life, then I think you're the one with the problem.

    I'd of made up a big Pack of lies about Inheriting a castle and 20 million yoyo's, then feed her shíte about all your lovely possessions, she'd of gotten a pain in her Gee and fúcked off quicker than a Jew in Nazi Germany

    ....and probably started a thread in After Hours about people from the past who talk themselves up too much with BS ;)

    there is a borderline between been polite and asking someone personal questions like - "where are living" "are you married" .

    If it was an old friend or a relative fair enough but it was a teacher. They teach you things, they don't need to know everything about your life 15 years later :rolleyes:

    :confused: since when is 'where are you living' too personal? I agree that 'are you married' is a bit of an odd one, but then depending on what age group she's in, that's not that odd. What would you say would be fair for her to have asked so?

    Told you in that other thread not to buy that gold plated buggy with the windshield wipers but ohhhh nooooo, you had to get it.

    You should study up on developing the fine art of saying Fúck Off whilst fake sneezing or coughing. Tis great and induces a rabbit-in-the-headlights look from the people you're talking to.

    You asked for a fair question for her to have asked. ;)

    Ah right. so you think that's the only kind of question she should've asked?

    I get how you could be offended about someone commenting on how your child is being raised, but the other lady was just enquiring as to how you are, I don't see the harm in it. She probably thought you were rude for not asking her the same!

    A man that lives down the road from me, who I don't know at all, said hello to me today and said he heard I was working down in the local shop now. I told him about it and then he asked if I'm still in college, which I told him about also, and then he enquired about my sister who also works in another shop in the village, and I told him about her. I then commented that his dog was beautiful, and went on my way. I felt good afterwards as I had just had a nice conversation with someone I hadn't talked to before.

    How dare he initiate such a thing!

    I wouldn't be telling any of my old teachers where I lived, for the simple reason that it's just none of their business. Why do they need to know like :confused: They are teachers, they taught us stuff, where we are currently living I don't think is anyway relevant to the teacher.

    Teacher was a straight out noisy bit*h imo.

    A simply, "hi, how are you keeping" "are doing much with yourself these days? " I think is a fair enough to have asked.

    If you feel so strongly about it, don't indulge. tell her (politely or not) to mind her own business.

    She didn't ask was I married, she asked WHO I was married to. What she was insinuating was, the fact that I was living in the town I live in, which is not where I am originally from, then I must be married to someone from that town. And because she has been living near this town for the last 20 years she presumed she may know who I was married to.

    My issue with her, is the way she was firing the questions at me, like a guard. It would be grand if we were sitting in a café having a latte but I met her on the street, and tbh she was only killing the time talking to me because the person she was with was talking privately to the person I was with.

    I'll admit it's an odd thing to ask, but hardly enraging.
