Once in a while the brain of swiss cheese sparks an appropriate response to a comment.
At the gym today a woman on the elliptical next to me commented, to me, out of the blue, that my chest area " was "lopsided".
When I replied that I was uneven because I had had a mastectomy due to breast cancer, she sighed and said "well a padded bra would make you look better."
I replied that beauty doesn't need two breasts and put in my ear plugs.
sigh....
Some people.....*shaking head*
Seriously. What the ?@#H??
All I can say is wow... :-(
Wow!! I would be so shocked I wouldn't know what to say!
Good grief! And how rude! Swiss cheese for a head. I like that comment.
Wow. Amazing that anyone would say that!
Speechless. WTF.
I am in awe of your aplomb -- you came up with the perfect reply.
OMG! I would have had a few things to say a lot less nice than what you said.
Well, I'd rather have a lopsided chest than $hit for brains... you ROCKED your reply to her Marni, truly. That must have really felt good... would love to have seen her reaction to it.
Would there be a way to throw her elliptical into reverse? The nerve. You rock!Quote:

That woman never got the advice I gave my own kids: You can think it, but don't say it.
I definitely would have let a few bad words come out of my mouth in my response!
Personally I wouldn’t have rewarded her comments, especially the second one, with any reply....maybe just my 'yeah that's an insensitive and self absorbed comment' stare.
