Kind of reminds me of someone I worked with one time. She commented on a prospective employee I had just finished testing (who, in fact, WAS wearing too much eye makeup).
Her comment: 'too bad she uses so much eye makeup - it doesn't improve her ugly appearance'. MY comment: ' Ugly can be fixed. Stupid can't'. 13 years later 'ugly' is still with the company; I managed to get rid of 'stupid' 6 weeks later.
Off subject, but brings me to another issue about people's comments. I have ongoing mobility issues. Have and use a scooter and/or walker, and often use the scooters in stores. Have permanent handicapped plates on my vehicles. Some days, I get around just fine when first parking at a store, but before finishing shopping, I have to get a scooter to check out and get to car.
One day, late in the day after doing a lot of walking, I had one more stop for milk (always at the back of the store). It was scooter time. I parked in a handicapped spot. Got out, got my cane. A person (I couldn't call her a lady) said to me: 'why are you in a handicapped spot? You don't appear to be handicapped'. I had my pat answer to that all ready: 'and YOU don't appear to be an a*ssho*e, but looks can sure be deceiving, can't they'.
Not very nice, but oh so perfect a response!
Daisy, I think your responses were P-E-R-F-E-C-T, and I loved them!!!

I can relate. Years ago I had a handicapped placard while recuperating from extensive surgery that required I be on crutches. Went out with DH driving. When he got out of the car this guy started yelling at him that he didn't look handicapped. Then as he helped me out of the car, the guy apologized. My Mom was there and gave this guy a piece of her mind. Hang in there and have your responses ready.

Oh I see.. the ugly appearance comment is not OK, but calling someone an a$$hole is? Another who thinks they are above others. And btw...you have no business telling anyone how much eye makeup to wear. MYOB. UH, you stuck up snobs make me puke.
