Bonus points if the person saying the offensive thing thought they were being complimentary.
“I have no idea what she sees in you.”
Straight to my face. By many people at different times. Including friends.
Uh…what do your friends see in you?
Actually, what do you see in those “friends”?
Nothing romantic.
“obviously more than she would see in you.”
Jesus. People are brutal man.
People assume I’m my wife’s older brother or friend. They often ask her if she wants her check separate from mine. It drives her insane. She makes a face and snaps “No, my HUSBAND and I are on the same check.”
“You married your brother!?”
This is an actual event that occurred. While we were engaged for about a year my wife came to my work to drop off some coffee that she had gotten me. So I came from behind the counter took the coffee from her and gave her a quick peck on the lips you know just a quick kiss. And a lady that was coming up to my desk from there looked at that event and said “Oh is that your daughter?”. Now we do live in a very rural part of the southeast United States and if you’re familiar with the stereotypes involving that, that question was just creepy.
Is there some large age difference between you?
Nope. Just 4 years.
4 years all city miles huh? ;)
For me? Oh you bet your sweet ass. I still don’t look my ago. People peg me as late 20s early 30s. I’m almost 40.
Might make for some fun (and weird) roleplay one night after dinner with several drinks.
That’s some serious Joe Dirt vibes.
It’s been a long time but at my senior prom the photographer made a beauty and the beast comment, which was fair enough. My high school sweetheart is a dead ringer for Zooey Deschanel and I (am told) looked like a chubby Matthew Broderick.
I married way above my relative looks as well. Wife looks like a half puerto-rican Julia Roberts. I’ve gotten the father-daughter remark on that one before (I grayed really young, white hair by mid thirties).
My wife is gorgeous, but I look enough like Sling Blade to keep the comments at bay 😜
