What a woman said to me at the last senior's club meeting

[debodun]

At out local senior's meeting, we usually play Bingo. This time I actually won a prize - a sleeve of 6 "fun size" Milky Way candy bars. When I got back to my table after picking up my prize, the woman who was sitting next to me leaned over and whispered,"You really don't need that candy, you know."

I though it was a little forward of her. If the situation were reversed, even if I thought the same thing, I wouldn't say it. Why do some people feel they have to make snide comments?

 

[AprilSun]

Was she hoping you would give it to her? It sure sounds like it. Regardless of her reason, she was rude!

 

[Shalimar]

Sour grapes perhaps? A desire to pick on you for whatever reason? Even jealousy.

 

[fureverywhere]

I would've given her a big evil smile and said " Ohhh yes I DOOO!...beyatch".

LOL

"Actually I do need it. I suffer from low blood sugar. If I don't get a sugary chocolaty snack right after a hard game of Bingo, I'm liable to have a very bad reaction to people making rude judgmental comments to me!" LOL

 

[RadishRose]

What nerve!

 

[Butterfly]

Yeah, rude, I'd say.

 

[Redd]

My answer would have been " I guess neither one of us need it but I'm willing to share"

 

[Warrigal]

Perfect answer Redd. We shouldn't let people pull us down to their level. Life's too short for that, especially at my time of life.

Always treat rudeness with a lot of grace and politeness. It will highlight the rudeness even more to other people around. It works layful:

 

[nitelite]

When someone says something rude or stupid to me I always reply with "Why do you say that"? Puts them on the spot of becoming tongue tied or saying something that shows their ignorance.

Yes, just say something like:

well, bless your heart ma'am, for thinking of my well being!

 

[SeaBreeze]

I think it was rude and she's probably jealous of you. I'd just ignore it and consider the source.

 

[Underock1]

Well there is just the remote possibility that she was trying to be funny. As someone else said, maybe she was jokingly suggesting you give her a bar. We don't always come off to othes as we intended. At any rate you enjoyed ( I'm sure its gone by now, Lol ) the candy. Don't let the comment take away from a happy experience.

Either that, or it goes right over their heads.

 

[Cookie]

Give them the raised eyebrow. (practice, practice, practice). Handy for these occasions.

The only way to go, whether it has any effect or not. :applause2:

 

[Kitties]

That woman is an absolute piece of S*%T.

 

[Bettyann]

I totally go for what fureverywhere said.... that was perfect....

 

[mitchezz]

Rude cow............I would have stuck out my tongue and eaten a choccie in front of her and said "Suck it up sista".

 

[Shalimar]

Mitchezz, you rock! Lol.

 

[Shalimar]

Cookie, what happens when you don't require practice to look like this woman? Lolol.

 

[Cookie]

Shalimar, for some people it just comes naturally. Lucky them.

"Oh, forgive me. I didn't realize you'd been appointed food monitor."

 

[Shalimar]

Love it reflection!
