Discussion
What unexpected, offensive, surprising or undeserved comments or questions (such as asking a portly woman how much she weighs) have been directed your way? Intentionally or mistakenly.
I lost count as both driver and passenger at the long list of obscene gestures I'd witnessed, and language, arms thrown in the air WTF type questions over the years, made all the more amusing when it's evident the perpetrator wrongly believes he has right of way, type scenarios.
I once asked MBH how old he was, forgetting he didnt know himself, having lost his birth certificate in the fire of London. That was very rude of me.

"this kettle doesn't f
king work, you sold it to me you tt and I want my money back"
Said to me whilst I was a customer in Halfords, I was wearing jeans and a T shirt and was browsing the cleaning tat aisle at the time. I have never worked in retail and I think the bloke probably should have been in the Currys next door.

Any of you who remember the old routemaster double decker buses may recall they had that mirror at the top of the stairs so you could see people coming up & down.
I once boarded one and seeing a person about to come down the stairs, waited for them at the bottom.
The woman behind me just said, "come on fatty, get a move on".
Harsh I thought, but not entirely inaccurate.

Not to me, but to a couple who came to buy my car. Both young, early twenties at a guess, stood in the hall with me and my OH (late twenties).
My OH turns to the girl and says "So, is this... your son?"
The girl sheepishly goes "No, my husband..."
Cue an awkward silence, tbf my OH didn't have her glasses on, but has a habit of putting her foot in it at the worst possible times. I knew they were a couple, and she didn't look any older than him!
They took the car and went on, how I ripped the piss for the rest of the night

I work for social services and one afternoon I had to go and see a member of staff who works in the mental health team, who are based in another building on the other side of town.
They have a reception and the usual woman was on the desk. Although I was relatively new at the time I had been over to their office numerous times and had seen this woman before. As is usual, I gave my name and who I was there to see and commenced to sign in. Woman tells me I don't have to sign in (that's odd, normally you do) and then phones through to the member of staff to tell her I had arrived. When she came off the phone she then said "Sorry, you do have to sign in". Great, I thought, she obviously thinks I'm one of their clients. I know it had been a long day, but I didn't think I looked *that* bad.

As a someone involved in social services, I'd have thought you'd have a bit more of an understanding of mental health issues, I'm sure you meet a lot of people with this type of problem. So why do you seem to be saying that people with a mental illness of any kind should be displaying some sort of outward sign that they are mentally unwell? What do you want? Dribbling? Rocking back and forth? Furious masturbation? I have spent quite a lot of time in waiting rooms of mental health clinics and the only sign I've seen is the one on the door.

Maybe, petal, just maybe, the woman didn't recognise you.
Not directed at me but still hurt. TV repair man came in and looked at my cat sprawled on the chair and said 'Awww, she's pregnant, when is she due?' I explained that she was in fact a he and needed to go on a diet. The TV guy couldn't stop laughing. That's all I could think of, sorry.
