I hate people who say things like they meant to compliment you, but really they were complimenting themselves.
Examples:
1. I don't know where you find the time. I'm just so busy (with my important, important life) I just can't afford to get sucked in (to your silly little hobby).
2. Wow, I'm impressed you ate that whole thing. I could just never eat that whole plate (makes face like going to puke), I guess my stomache just can't take it (because it is so much smaller than yours and I am so healthy and skinny and you are fat).
3. It's good that you don't sweat the small stuff. I'm so anal, I would have to do the dishes right this minute because leaving them in the sink (like you just did) would gross me out and I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself (kind of like right now because I'm in your disgusting abode).
Any other examples out there, two readers?
I'll have to think on this one. I'll have to say though, I've heard the third one in a somewhat opposite format. "I just don't have time to clean my house because of the much more important things I do with myself". Translation = You're house is clean because you are not saving the world.
ReplyDeleteLittle do they know that you wear a wonderwoman outfit under your clothes and drive an invisible jet.
ReplyDeleteHow about this one:
ReplyDelete"Have you lost weight? You look so good!"
Translation: You totally used to look fat and not good.
Looks like you have THREE readers, not just two:)
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any other good ones, but I have one that relates to #2. I'll never forget being in Provo and eating a Mountain High Mudd Pie at Red Robin. The waiter came out and said "Wow. I've never seen anyone eat the whole thing by themselves." Translation: you are a total pig!
Were you there for that?
