@Desertdi God one!

Thanks @Luvsmyfam I know I shouldn't let that bother me...but words like "hideous" and "ugly" are such HARSH adjectives that it kinda "gets on my nerves". di

Well, I wish posters would quit describing a garment as "hideous"...when I just ordered one in every color

It doesn't mean that YOU are hideous, it means the garment is......you shouldn't, IMO,

take it personally.

I like that you are sensitive to the nuances of language and manners, @Desertdi , and agree. Someone might say certain random things out there are "hideous" in a general sense--- but once someone has come out and said, "I bought that", or "I have that", the situation alters.

Why deliberately hurt someone else's feelings over a mere aesthetic choice? You can still say something to the effect that, oh, it isn't my particular style, or doesn't suit me, personally-- if you must. You don't have to cast aspersions on the other person's taste by a blanket declaration, in my opinion. It's just part of being considerate.

I also don't like when someone responds to something another likes by saying the ever-popular "yuck". Or "ugh". It's overkill, and too harsh, in my opinion. Not necessary.

@Oznell If you would like to hear something really bizarre... I was at work (with a number of co-workers present), when another woman came charging in and yelled, "WHO owns that black car parked in front of the building?"

I replied that it was mine...and she proceeded to screech that it was "unladylike" and that "I must RETURN it IMMEDIATELY". She continued to deliver quite a lecture... I was

stunned. di

@Desertdi - Wow. Was this woman someone who worked in the building (business) or just a random stranger who came in?

LOL - I've never thought of a vehicle being "unladylike"

So what did you do? Or say? (I assume you did NOT return the car.)

I can well believe you were stunned. If someone came rushing in like that, where I worked, I'd have thought they'd just damaged my car!

@Venezia It was a "younger" woman from another department. I knew who she was. I will never know what triggered her "objection"...

Whoa, agreed, @Desertdi , and @Venezia , that was totally bizarre. Hard to fathom what she could have even meant by such a weird outburst! You seem to have taken it in stride, @Desertdi .
