rudest comment you've heard so far?

I just had a super-rude-for-no-reason-whatsoever comment thrown my way. I'm sitting waiting for the host of my show to read his lines (I produce a reality tv shows) and he looks at me and says "you look like a beach ball in that yellow shirt."
uhhhhh.... yea, thanks. My female co-worker was like, mouth agape that he would say something so rude and be so ridiculously self-involved to not even realize what he said was rude.
what's been the rudest comment you've heard?

Re: rudest comment you've heard so far?
I dont know this is more rude or mean. But my ex best friend told me "Dont buy anything baby yet. You can still have a M/c"
Needless to say...i cried for awhile after that one.
Wow! I'd be surprised if anybody could top that comment. What a jerk!
My rudest comment was from girls in a different third grade class telling me (after making the announcement), "Yeah, we thought you were pregnant. Otherwise, you were just getting fat!" But really, they're nine years old so I know they didn't mean it rudely.
What have I not heard is the question? Im only twelve weeks along but due to a fibroid I look to be about 16 weeks.
While eating at the Cheesecake factory a woman that I did not know who was sitting at a table near us that I was a bad mom already eating that cheesecake! WTF!
Im pregnant you old cow and mind your own business!
"I dont know this is more rude or mean. But my ex best friend told me "Dont buy anything baby yet. You can still have a M/c"
Needless to say...i cried for awhile after that one."W-O-W. yikes! that is awful!!
This was more hurtful than rude but...
After I told my college roommate and MOH at my wedding (happened to be on april 1st), she texted me saying "just need to check, this isn't an april fool's joke right??"
way to be excited for me. thanks.
Was this an oops?
And several other people asking if it was an accident.
"Are you keeping it? Are you even happy about it?"
I never thought we sounded UNhappy bc we are, in fact, the opposite of unhappy about it. Sheesh!
I have a similar one.
"If you have a miscarriage soon, don't bother calling us - because there's nothing that we can do for you anyways."

Probably from my MIL. She kept telling me that i'm gaining too much weight and I said "i've gained like 5lbs" and she said "yea in your face."
About 5 minutes later she asked me if i wanted dessert. I said maybe I should pass on dessert, now that i'm aware I have a fat face I should watch what i eat. She told me I was being hormonal and overreacting.
Everyone knows that I have a 15 (soon to be 16) year old son, and I have had a few people say "Wow, are you crazy? You are starting all over?" My response "uh yea, and this is a blessing for us, we have been trying for over 2 years."
I'm like wow, I knew very well that I had a teenage son when I was TTC.
ok so where do I even start.
"Are you happy" (Um duh, its my first and been trying for a year)
"Hey pregnant lady" (This was a co-stupid worker...WTF...I have a name idiot)
"Your small for four months" (Um I have 5 more months to go you know or maybe not because you have no children so your talking out of your asscrack)
at the beginning of my pregnancy i got a pretty nasty headcold, but was supposed to work that day. i knew my ob's office wasn't open yet, so i went to the urgent care clinic, as i'm all new to this, and didn't know what else to do.
i wasn't sure how the pregnancy was affecting my cold, or how the cold might affect my pregnancy (what drugs i could/couldn't take, etc.), and i'll admit, i was probably freaking out about it all a little more than necessary, but i still don't think it warranted what the dr. said to me:
"you're not the only one who's pregnant"
although i don't think it's as bad as what the op/pp's have gotten, it still felt like a slap in the face when i was just looking for some help/advice.
My MIL made a big deal about my parents buying us our stroller right away because "the baby could still dye, its just stupid" ... this is also a lady that doesnt believe in having showers or Birthday parties before a birthday, because "the person could die" ... I personally dont get it.. but... oh well
My family and my DH call me pregasaurus. They say I attack the food. It is kinda rude and it kinda pisses me off, but it got DH to stop calling me pooter... which he picked up from sense and sensibility when I made him watch it. Apparently him calling me that was his revenge.
However I think the rudest thing is my coworker telling me when I was only like 12 weeks along that "it looked like I need to take a big poop"
Not really rude, but kinda weird, especially for a random stranger:
I was at a wake and a randon lady I've never met before approached me and asked if I'd already had the baby (I was about 5 months along). I said "No, I'm due early August". Then she said, "So are you having twins then?"
Which is it lady? Am I too big or too small for you?
the comment by the friend about the miscarriage is by far the worst.
ugh.
Mine's not that bad, but it came from my fat boss, who had been insisting I was showing earlier in the week last week (I wasn't, but I was wearing a maternity shirt,) even when I told her I was not, and then at the end of the week, when I was wearing something I could still fit into but that I wore pre-PG, she said, "Oh, you're right, you're not showing. You just look like you ate Mexican for lunch."
Great.
