| Dolemite | posted 4-May-1998 3:28pm Very little outrages or surprises me. |
| lisashea | posted 4-May-1998 3:55pm I knew my boyfriend had dated this woman, "Sue", a while back. I was talking to Sue's current partner (who in fact is married to someone else) and made mention of it. He claimed they were seeing each other "faithfully" back then and that Sue never saw anyone else. He accused my boyfriend of lying to me about it "to impress me". Apparently Sue denied the whole thing had happened, and he believed her. (I know of a few other men in her life, so it astounds me she'd say this) |
| milktree | posted 4-May-1998 5:03pm It's supposed to do that. |
| steve | posted 4-May-1998 6:23pm "Look at the boogie [in context, it was pretty clear that this was slang for "black person"]. She's got good teeth, though. They all do." --Elson Halstead, my great uncle, and the nastiest old man I've ever met. |
| Artemis | posted 4-May-1998 7:21pm Some guy on my bus asked me if I was a virgin.(I'd never met him before) |
| daver | posted 4-May-1998 7:50pm "There are no bugs in Microsoft software" (He was serious) |
| hunter | posted 4-May-1998 10:05pm Probably "You were such a pretty child. Such a shame how children change," said to me by one of the church ladies in my hometown. At least, I think that was the thing I was most outraged by. |
| lizzie | posted 5-May-1998 12:06pm I'm usually the one saying the outrageous things to other people, not vice versa. People just say stupid things to me. |
| romkey | posted 5-May-1998 1:10pm "Why don't you want to do business with us?" by a telemarketer after I yelled at her because her company had called me about twenty times and I told her I had asked multiple times for them to stop calling me and that I would never do business with them. |
| jjg | posted 5-May-1998 9:06pm Once when I was on vacation this twelve year-old French girl called me an ugly man in French because she didn't believe that I knew any French. This illustrates my dislike of French people, unfortunately I am French by descent. |
| Pomeranian | posted 5-May-1998 9:22pm A random person at a bar once said to me "I want you...and don't worry, if the teeth hurt, I can always take them out" |
| Dahlia | posted 6-May-1998 12:49am I was sitting in the back of my appartment building reading a book on one of the pic-nic tables last summer and this guy asked if he could sit there too. I said sure. He then just commented on how nice a day it was and then the next thing he said was "I wanna get with you". It was a bit shocking, but you have to admire his frankness I guess. Oh and in case you were wondering, I said NO. |
| plots | posted 6-May-1998 6:23pm I believe this is the worst, but I have heard many very disturbing things from people who found out I lived in Africa...Here goes: "Tanzania? hmmm I think my grandmother was born there... Just a few streets down... Real nice place" (a man my friend and I talked to at a theme park in Florida) At the time we both lived in Tanzania and when I corrected him and told him this was in Africa the reply was: "Africa... What State is that in?" |
| joe | posted 6-May-1998 7:45pm a gay dude made a slurping sound at me during an intermission once when i was at a ballet. |
| Atzilut | posted 7-May-1998 10:49am good lord, my mind is reeling. I can't even think of one. Pomeranian: oh. my. god. no. Nbarone: was that the "soulful grin" moment on the way to SiLICON V? |
| bill | posted 7-May-1998 11:35am "Rational just acquired us (PureAtria)." ...this is after we (Atria) merged with Pure a year earlier to become PureAtria - and I hadn't quite adjusted to THAT yet. *** I can vouch for nbarone's story. I was in the car too. |
| presti | posted 7-May-1998 4:50pm I just cannot say it! It's too gross! |
| nbarone | posted 8-May-1998 10:15am certainly the most outrageous thing i can remember anyone saying to me was said by the connecticut highway patrolman who zoomed past me at about 85-90 mph (i was doing about 65-70, in a 55 mph zone)then slowed down so he could get behind and pull me over. when he walked over to my window he said "Normally I wouldn't pull somebody over when I am in a hurry to get to a crime scene, but son, I didn't appreciate the way you smirked at me when i drove by." !?!?! *** yes, Atzilut, this was from the fateful trip to silicon V (where are the fighting monks when you need them? |
| bex | posted 8-May-1998 1:55pm I only asked you out because I heard you were easy (break up line after year+ teenage relationship with no sex) |
| reality | posted 8-May-1998 8:48pm what do you mean by outrageous? I can't think of anything that has ever been said to me that outraged me. and anything that can be uttered by another human has probably been expressed before. it may surprise me when certain people say certain things, but the content of the statement wouldn't be outrageous. (the most obvious thing to note here would be that I am too nit-picky or precise). |
| Jaime | posted 14-May-1998 8:23am About me? Well, someone defined me long time ago as a "calmly nervy" man. I'm still asking me about what this can mean... |
| Gamera | posted 21-May-1998 2:05am oh, how to choose?!?! maybe it was the turkish man who ,after following me all eafternoon in the covered market, came up to me outside the blue mosque and said: "You know why you are getting so much attention, don't you? We Turkish men like our women very fat." if you ask again another day, I may remember something else. |
| BadtzMaru | posted 23-May-1998 12:53pm A female contestant on Win Ben Stein's Money who said, "I'm waiting for the girl questions." |
| lelle | posted 27-May-1998 11:00am I can't think of a particularly outrageous comment anyone has made to me... |
| phi | posted 27-May-1998 10:15pm A woman of my acqaintance asked me for my mailing address, which I gave her. She then gleefully reported that enough people had expressed their inability to attend her upcoming wedding that she was "going to be able to invite the B list". Needless to say I gracefully declined the invitation when it came a week later. |
| dpolicar | posted 12-Aug-1998 3:04pm "would you be willing to move out of my daughter's apartment if her father and I paid your rent somewhere else?" was up there and is the one that comes to mind at the moment. |
| gilly | posted 14-Aug-1998 2:00pm "Looks like you've gained some weight." Said to me by a great-aunt at a pool party, at which time, as it happens, I was in pretty fabulous shape, IMHO. I mean, what can possibly be the good of saying such a thing? |
| seven | posted 17-Aug-1998 10:30am "Are you chinese?" |
| eloradanan | posted 28-May-2006 12:18am My father constantly claiming that my mother tries to turn me against him. Totally untrue too. It's his bad behavior & actions that make me not want to be around him, not anything my mother has said or done. She's never spoken badly of him, even when he's been cruel to her. |
| LindaH | posted 29-Jul-2008 7:28pm "There's no such thing as first person fiction poetry"
