I got a few:

"Do you like girls?" - pretty self explanitory

At a Dodgers game.. dude hits a homerun, female friend jumps up and I just sit there, she turns to me, slaps my shoulder and says "You're boring"

'Nuff said

To all the people who've had their sexuallity insulted, you should've just dropped trou and SHIT on the person, because that is the most lamely obvious self-projective insult in the book. Make sure when your poop comes out, it has the words YOU WISH on it! (and THAT takes practice!)

"Are you a lesbian? Because you have never had a boyfriend. Whats wrong with you? Why don't guys like you?"

From my sister (a social butterfly)- "Everyone knows God didn't give you a funny bone."

From when I was in 6th grade and going through a very awkward phase - "Hey why don't you take off your ugly mask Halloween isn't till later."

Such a lame insult though.

"You used to be cool, but you're not anymore" and also, "He'd have to be desperate to want to be with you."

All in highschool, but it stuck with me. I am thinking about those things less and less these days, especially since the girl who said the first comment, she and I have become good friends in adulthood.

my most recent one was when i was on my lunch break at work and there was a man sat on the table behind me (he was about 20 years older than me), he asked me to come sit on his table in which i replied "no thanks". He goes "your such a b****, just sit on your own then". I was trying to eat my lunch and felt my face burning as he was shouting so loud, so people on other tables could hear. He was joined by another man who was chuckling away whilst the rude man kept saying things like "c**t". I stopped eating and just walked away, went straight to the toilets and burst into tears.

The amount of times I've cried is a joke, but this one really stuck in my mind as it was someone absolutely broadcasting the fact I'm shy.

The first time I brought my boyfriend (now husband) home to meet my family my grandfather said to me in front of him, "Christie you look like you've gained a few" and I replied numbly "yah maybe a few" to which he replied, "YAH like 25 or so!! hahah" and I ran in the bathroom and cried for about 20 minutes. Any weight comments are hard for me considering I've struggled with my weight forever.

Another thing that bothers me is when a family member is flippant about my anxiety. I am usually really outgoing, probably loud, and funny. But when I get anxious I get really quiet and visibly uncomfortable...I just can't seem to mask it. So I was at a family get together and my sister said in front of everyone, "What's the matter, you need to go take an Ativan??" in a sarcastic tone. That sucked.

These comments are disgraceful. I've never had comments but if they were anything like this i'd probably lose control.
