Rudest thing anyone has said to you.

Nisha.. I'm sorry someone said that to you. I hope you know that it's a reflection on their heart and not yours. I have encountered MANY rude people in my life but I try to tell myself that they must be really miserable if they feel the need to express themselves like that. I've had two things said to me that have stayed in my head - although, I try to forget them. First, let me say that I'm not a skinny woman. I need to lose some weight. When I gave birth to my son, I had a c-section because he was very overdue and was in fetal distress. Before I had him, I had 3 miscarriages and I almost lost him as well so his birth was a very happy moment for me. After I had him, they had to take me to the recovery room for 2 hours to get my vitals back in order and keep an eye on me. While I was in there, the nurse said some very rude things to me about being overweight and needing to lose weight etc. All I could do was lay there with tears streaming down my cheeks while she continued to say the meanest things to me on what should have been the happiest day of my life. Then several years later, after trying to have another baby for a long time and never being able to - I had a hysterectomy (when I was 30 years old) and it was one of the hardest things to go through. I wanted another baby so bad. I had just had surgery on my stomach and was a little more swollen than normal and we went to the store. Some old lady was near me and she looked at my stomach and very rudely said "you must be pregnant to be that fat". I was in shock. I could not believe that someone would say something so mean - even if I was pregnant that was a rude thing to say and she said it with her face all twisted like she was disgusted. I wanted to say something back to her but I just kept my mouth shut. I wanted to cry. Some people need to learn to just keep their mouth shut. My mom always told me that if I didn't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all. I wish more people were taught that lesson.

I couldn't answer this because as soon as someone becomes rude I just tune out and if I can I walk away. I've had people say How can you just let that person call you that, and I just say I don't I didn't hear anything they said as soon as they started being rude. What else can you do and not just cause more problems?
