Yesterday, I went to Costco, to pick up my dad's prescriptions.

While I was waiting for the script to be filled, a woman, a total stranger, said to me as she walked by, "Oh, poor dear! You look so sick!"

I just smiled and said, "No, I'm just tired", and honestly, I was tired.

I can't fathom saying to a perfect stranger, "Oh, my! You look so sick!"

Would you say that to a total stranger?

I wouldn't.

In fact, I think it was kinda rude of her to say that.

I think what I should have said instead was, "You're right. I am sick. In fact, I have a highly contagious disease.". *lol*

Do you think what she said was rude?

Thoughts?

Absolutely, she was rude.

Rude, classless, and mean..............similar to, 

you look so tired, not a compliment, since I  am not

tired..  Comments about appearance should not

be uttered, unless they are complimentary.

Rude...and dumb.

[QueenDanceALot]

Sure it was rude.  

Who knows what else was going on in this woman's head.

I think that anyone who would say this to a total stranger must have some issues.

I might think it but I sure wouldn't say it out loud-not very considerate of her at all.

When you are in a situation like this don't you wish you had a good comeback?  I always get mad at myself because I can never think of a good response on the spot and then later get all these good ideas.  But, it's too late. 

[QueenDanceALot]

I might think that the person was unstable and the best thing to do would be to ignore them.

A response wouldn't really serve any purpose, would it?

[KathyPet]

I would have laughed and said "Well you are not looking so good either."

Good grief!  Some people just have no class.  I hope you didn't let it bother you too much.
