Ever have someone say something totally outrageous to you that was out of the blue, unnecessary or just none of their friggin business? Post it. I'll start.
A coworker noticed that I had a HUGE cup of Starbucks this AM and commented on it. I replied back that I hadn't slept well last night, which is odd for me because I usually pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow. She asked how old I was. I told her - 41. She then informed me that it's my hormones, I'm going through "the change" and that my sleep would only continue to get worse. I was stunned. I don't think having one bad night of sleep makes me menopausal and even if it does, it's not her business to say that. We aren't even friends - just co-workers. Go figure.
We used to have this "Interpersonal Communications" Consultant who came in for a week each month. When I got sick with a sinus infection, he asked me if I thought I was getting sick because of all the weight I'd gained since I'd started working here. The funny part was I had started dieting, and had lost about 20 pounds, and was at my lowest weight in 10 years.
I once made a purchase at a clothing store, I paid by check. When asked for identification I showed her my driver's license. the clerk looked at it and said 'You have held up really well".
There was a point in time when my hair was bright red. Well I was working as a waitress at the time. I walked up to a table and a little boy probably around 3 screamed out "mama she looks like a crayon!!" His mother just laughed and said to me that I must get that a lot.
LOL that's certainly better than hearing the alternative: "My goodness, time has ravaged you."

A guy I was friends with my freshman year of college...we used to hang out and watch movies, anyway he said to me "you have such a pretty face if you'd just lose weight" ...then he started dating one of my friends who was not only 7 inches taller than I am, but bigger too! (and super whacky!) ... I never understood that.
A few weeks ago my friend who runs a boutique talked me into this tunic shirt that was kind of long and flowing and came to a point in the front. I usually stay away from this look since it reminds me of maternity clothes, but my friend went on and on about how slimming it was for me, etc. Any way first time I wear it this dumb a** asks me when I'm due!
My rule of thumb is do not ask if someone is expecting unless you see a baby's head coming out!

this one made me laugh. I happen to loooove bright red hair. I wish I had the nerve to do a big change from my mousie brown and wear it!
OK< I'll bite! I had been single for, oh, I think a good ten years (now 18 yrs) when I received a phone call from my sister. The day before I had stopped over my aunts house on the way to see another sister and to pick up a cell phone I'd left over there. With me was yet another (Yes, there are five girls, and 8 boys in my family) sister's father in law! Well, my sister that called me asked me why Aunt Ruth knew before she did that I was ... PREGNANT! Apparently Ruth not only spread all around that I was pregnant but it was by my sister's father in law! The ONLY reason he was along for the ride was due to really bad weather! blizzard like conditions!
I called my aunt and asked her "So, did I enjoy the sex I never had?" She's like "I thought you were..." I told her "there you go, A. S. S. U ming AGAIN!"
I went through the drive thru one morning at the local fast food joint (this was about 4-5 yrs ago) and the guy at the window saw the car seats in the back and said "oh, grandkids, grandkids, what fun".
I know a lot of people "mean well", but "mean well" gets real old. Vast numbers of people are not only so rude, they also have no idea they are rude, and think something is wrong with you if you think they are.
Oh No She / He Didn't!!!!
!
I cannot imagine spreading a rumor that someone is pregnant without knowing!
