Backhanded compliments and the people who give them

[Steph]

I was once told my breasts didn't sag at all for someone my age. LOL Needless to say, that relationship didn't last too long!

Anyone else received "compliments" like that?

[zipededoo]

Ouch Steph, that hurts... My partner was buying a handbag in a shop once when the assistant said "when's the baby due?"... Needless to say she wasn't pregnant. We just burst out laughing and left the shop. Not much you can say to that.
"No, I'm just fat..."
"No, I just lost it" then burst into tears...

I was walking down the street one day....on my way home from work (when I lived in N.J)....and I heard a car coming and it started beeping it's horn.....and I thought......Ugh, I'm not in the mood for some, "Hey Baby", remark......but as they drove by....horn still honking.....a guy yelled out the window...."Get an exercise bike"!



Guess what I did?












OK.....well........I didn't have enough birds to flip at them (we only get two.....how unfair is that?).......so I continued home and went on a diet the very next day! LOL! I haven't weighed that much since!

Last year hubby and I were visiting with a friend and his girlfriend that we had a couple swap with the night before. We were discussing how good we all looked naked and when we would be able to swap again. All of a sudden she pops up with, "God, you know, I hope I look as good as you when I get to be your age."
:eek:

At the time I was only 23!!!!!!!!!!

I once witnessed someone we worked with tell my boss, who was my best friend at the time, say, "You know, I don't care what anyone else says about you--I think you're a pretty nice person." OMG, how awful!

In May of 2002, I was in a bad car wreck with my then grilfriend who had driven 2 hours to come see me.

The old lady who hit me had totalled her car and needed to be picked up. My girlfriend was talking to the police officer and the old lady's daughter was talking to me. We were just sitting and chatting and then she asked "Is that your wife?"

"No"

"Well are you going to marry her?"

"I said well eventually. I think I have found the one." because I had decided in March that she was the one I wanted to marry. Not to mention that a few other people had already asked me this question.

Then I got to the real heart of the problem when the lady said "Well I think it is so good that a young man such as yourself is willing to be a father to his children and not run off."

"Excuse me?"

"Well your girlfriend, isn't she rpegnant?"

"Ummm I hope not becuase then it wouldn't be my kid as we are both virgins." (This was a lie, but I just wanted to make her feel more stupid.)

The problem is that my ex-fiancee is very curvy, has a little but of a beer gut, never wears make-up, and wears baggy clothing. A lot of people just assume she is pregnant.

IAKG,

There was an Engineering Tech who would say to the college interns at the paper mill "I don't care what everyone else says. You are doing a good job"

He said it with a smile and he was a nice old man so no one got offended.

[CunningLinguist]

Succubs,

I hope you and your friends all gave the girl hell after that. I know I would have.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

CL~The problem is that the guy who told her that had NO CLUE what he had said. :rolleyes:

[Lilith]

The ones who have no clue don't bother me a bit, it's the ones who think they are being sly and do it on purpose who encounter my wrath.

[SuccubusKitty]

CL of course my friends gave her hell...especially her boyfriend. He and I were only four months apart in age :)

[PantyFanatic]

This is another great thread at Pixies.:) And I don't care what they say,... the mods do a great job of running this place.

Lil,

The ones who have no clue don't bother me a bit, it's the ones who think they are being sly and do it on purpose who encounter my wrath.

Now I enjoy giving backhanded compliments, but only to people who have incurred my wrath and these people are usually too stupid to realize I insulted them.

Today at work was a busy day, so I didn't get a lunch. When I had a few moments to try and get something to eat, all that was available was a bag of chips. Now, I do try to eat healthy, but I am the kind of person that can't go without eating lunch. I can skip breakfast and supper (dinner in some parts of the country), but will feel "sloppy" when I don't eat at midday.

I was walking down the hall with my dill pickle chips.. (waves the open bag under IAKG's nose.. hehehe) and was asked what I was doing... "Getting some lunch" was my reply...





Their response - "I thought you were on a diet."

My thought - "Bitch"

[PantyFanatic]

LOL @ Cheyanne

There is a difference between a back-hand and a jab. lol

[LixyChick]

db? Did you read what Chey said? "dill pickle chips"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Um...........Um.............We want some too Chey! Who makes um? I've never seen them in our market!


***Now back to your regularily scheduled thread***

[Cheyanne]

LOL - yeah, you are right PF.. it wasn't a back handed anything... lol

Lixy - Lays makes the dill pickle chips... they also make the salt and vinegar chips, but I like the pickle ones the best.. :D

[Lilith]

<~~~salt & vinegar:slurp:

[Steph]

Holy crap, Tyler brought home HOT BBQ chips and jalapeno and cheddar chips. JESUS FREAKIN' HOT! They're a new brand (to me, anyway) "Rave" - anyone else had them?

[Lilith]

Not here but I love spicy stuff! I will watch for them!

[Steph]

They don't have a Web site but they're from Old Dutch which is a Canadian chip company. DE-LISH!

[Cheyanne]

Backhanded compliments to a chip thread.. love it!!! :D

Steph - Cobalt and I have had those jalapeno chips.. they are really good! We did try the Kettle something or other brand chips that are jalapeno too.. they are cooked in peanut oil.. those are :hot: :D

[Belial]

Meaningless platitudes, I think, are just as bad.

Kettle Cooked??? I saw them at the store tonight maybe!

[Steph]

We have a brand called Kettle here, too. I always thought they were Canadian . . . DELISH as well.

[CunningLinguist]

I thought Kettle Cooked chips were a cajun thing!

In Louisiana I loved getting Kettle Cooked crawfish flavored chips.

[Lilith]

crawfish flavored chips...wicked

[quisath]

Sometimes people just lose all consideration. I tend not to talk so much when it comes to the Human anatomy. I see beauty in all and Steph.................... I'd ravage you Any time any day. ;)

[SuccubusKitty]

Yeah the brand to try for awesome kettle cooked Cajun style chips is ...







ZAPPS

They come in crawfish, jalapeno, all kinds...Emeril Lagasse throws them to people in his audience sometimes. I just love that I can go to Kroger's and get them :daisy:

[WildIrish]

Salt & Vinegar here too.

And the people that are totally suprised at the good job you did are the ones that piss me off. What made you think you'd get anything less than that?

[Steph]

Crawfish chips? That's craaaa-zy! :D


Sound delish, though!
