What’s an insult that you will never forget?

When I was about 15 and had a part time job and bought my first pair of Levi jeans. I really wasn't fat, but my spiteful mother said to her horrible friend "she's a big girl now" and her friend said, "a right little fattie". I dropped a stone in a short time and the jeans were too big. I'd never had a pair of any sort of trousers before, so it really made me so self conscious.
@meggie When I was 24 I lost some weight and my work manager noticed my jeans looked looser, he asked if I lost weight, I told him no, I bought a size larger so it would look like I did, he just cracked up laughing and said I should be a stand up comedian, then said I reminded him of Don Rickles, a funny wise cracking comedian from the 60's to the 90's famous for his insults.

@NativePortlander1970 well I ended up anorexic over their comments as I was slim when I first wore the jeans.
@meggie I am so very sorry 😢
You know... in order to be insulted, I first have to care what others think of me.

One thing that life has taught me is the importance of not putting too much value on others' (unwanted) opinions. I'm not saying that I'm perfect at that yet - but I am still in progress with it.

While at my brother's I used the washroom without closing the door, and he said "Were you brought up in a barn?" It didn't bother me, but mom wasn't impressed.
When I was a freshman in high school, this girl used to call me "Malibu Barbie". She was rather "horse-faced" as they called it back then, and overweight. I eventually lost my temper and called her "Caribou" (and her name).
She snapped, "What’s that ?"

A friend of mine was walking up and said to her, "I think it’s between a reindeer and a moose !"
And then to me, "Good call !"
The girl left me alone after that.

My MOTHER told me that my BROTHER had told her that I was an unfit mother. I was attending art college in Boston at the time, and spent some overnights with my new boyfriend, who ended up being the 3rd ex.
The best are compliments that come across as insults —“ I can count the number of dates I’ve had on one hand and this one is definitely the middle finger” or an anonymous comment on my performance review: “he solves problems the team didn’t even know it had”

Not quite a deliberate insult, but a migrant from Europe was complaining about the price of education: "Back home in my country, it was nothing like this!".
"How much did your degree cost?" someone asked.
"We had government subsidies, it was practically free!"
"Well." was the reply. "That explains a lot."

Everyone died laughing

In high school I was at some event/party/ whatever, I don’t know what it was

And some girl was talking to my friend group (like 5 of us) and after a while I said “hey I didn’t catch your name” and she said “that’s because you’re ugly”

I can’t say I was really upset as much as confused as to why someone would just be that mean for no reason

I’m sure it bothered me more at the time but really I just remember feeling really confused

@PalteseMalconFunch I remembered like 2 seconds after posting it was a church youth group thing

It actually pretended to be a compliment. My ex-husband, “Wow, you ARE losing weight. You’re getting all flabby.”

A college wrestling teammate (who was much better than I was) asked me if I could, “Stop a bullet?” His point? You’re not invincible. Quit the cocky shit and be humble.

It stopped me short and I really took it to heart. He was 100% right. 🙏🏻

Respect.

A boss told me I looked like a benign Charles Manson. I told her I didn't appreciate the "benign" part of that.

The worst insults I've ever experienced in the entirety of my life were on here/social media.

I heard someone shout at a coworker 'You're as much use as Ann Franks drum kit'. That one made me roar with laughter.

Back when I was taking driver's ed, my instructor got me real good. He was just a sarcastic old guy, and we all just took it in stride. Part of his charm, as it were. One day, I was driving with him, and I was unsure whether to drive around a pothole or stay within the lines. I chose the latter, and the pothole was deeper than I anticipated. His response? "It takes a hell of a driver to hit the only pothole in the whole road."
A crush in middle school said I was fugly and it was embarrassing because I didn't know what he meant. Somebody told a guy I liked him even though I didn't and he said he was gay.

They are all forgotten but I won't forget who perpetrated them.

I don't remember and I don't care. I'm trying to be less human as possible. Like a Deity reaction with no emotions. I've been practicing hatred for this world for so long. I'm changed and I have rarely any desire of this world anymore.

The more I work on it. The more I see how pathetic this world is and nothing but a fantasy of human consciousness. My desire is to to make people happy in natural acts and I'm happy. I don't really care about this world like a trash can of greediness.

“You have enough skin on your forehead for two heads.” It reminded me of what my students would say in the 90s.

I ignore personal insults. Just a waste of time to give those lies any air at all.

I DO enjoy the classic Don Rickles insults. He made a career out of insulting celebrities.
