My aunt immediately jumped in and said, "You never ask somebody that! What's wrong with you?"
His reply, "I thought it was nicer than just asking her why she's still fat."
Took all I had not to burst into tears. :(.
-
Oh my god... I'm sorry. That's so not okay. And btw, you look great.
-
OMG! But you aren't even fat!? Wtf!
-
@rahlyrah: your grandpa is a jerk!
-
Aww sorry!
-
I don't usually say this about grandpas, but what an ass.
-
Ignorance and lack of class. Just ignore him.
-
What? You're gorgeous! I'm so sorry; that was mean.
-
Whoa--- is your granddad typically an ass? I mean, I feel rude saying that but that would be unheard of in my family. Comments about weight (unless to day you look like you lost some!) are not done. That comment just makes him sound downright mean. =(
-
Wow. I'm sorry you had to go through that! Sounds like he just has no clue.
-
I'm a nurse aid at a nursing home. I get called anything but a lady. I'm definitely used to it now. Hugs to you!
-
Oh my goodness. Maybe Grandad doesn't realize- but that is actually emotionally abusive and it is not your fault.
-
Omg
I'm so sorry. So, so rude.I've been asked when I wasn't (as late as 6 months pp) it really bothered me.
-
Omg that's terrible!
-
Whaaa!? Sorry, grandpas a dick! Totally not true!!
-
Ugh, a student asked me that recently. Loudly and in front of lots of people
I'm sorry
-
Ugh, what an awful thing to say. Sometimes it's a frontal release thing...older people have less of a filter and will say whatever it is on their minds.
-
My beloved Opa would have said something similar.
I'm sorry. I think part of it is that they come from a generation where a woman's figure was an acceptable topic of discussion and opinion. Combine that with a lack of filter...
-
That's so mean. You are not fat at all! Ugh. Put some ex-lax in his stuffing.
-
Thanks for the pick-me-up ladies! I don't know why I took that do hard. It was really hurtful. I still have 15 lbs to lose but still.
@BlueWolverine: This made me LOL! He is kind if an ass.
-
@lawbee11: bahahaha
-
What. the. Fuck. Grandpa. I would be livid. You are lovely!
-
Not cool at all. So sorry he didn't have a filter.
-
Ummm are his eyes failing him?? Because you are not fat!! That's just ridiculous! I'm sorry he was so rude.
-
Is he blind as well as rude?! You look amazing!
-
I would be furious!
Unbelievable.
-
Oh grandpa. I agree with @FarmWifeGina:. But I'm sorry he made you feel so bad.
you look great!
-
What a horrible thing to say!
You look great and, um, you just made a person!
I'm so sorry. So, so rude.Reply
