40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful This will get buried but mine was hands down when a co-worker/decently close acquaintance told me to my face that maybe if I had prayed harder and put more faith in the lord my son wouldn't have died. B***h had worked with me since before I got pregnant, through the genetic dx while still pregnant, his birth, multiple surgeries etc. and knew damn well what the f**k happened and still had the gall to say that s**t. Mind you this was also like 6 years later and I'd already had two more children, countless hours of therapy, and with one statement she stabbed me in the heart all over.

In a horrid twist of fate - the eldest of her two children was k*lled in a motorcycle accident about 18 months ago. My heart broke for her and I did reach out to offer my condolences, no parent should ever experience that kind of loss.

But I would be a lying hag if I didn't admit that a hateful little voice inside me whispered to my soul 'maybe she shoulda prayed harder'.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful After discovering a past failed s*****e attempt, my parents said “How could you be so stupid? Do you know how bad that makes us look?” without once questioning how I got to that point. Maybe not the cruelest thing in the thread but it made me realize that my parents cared very little for me.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind words. I wanted to reply to everyone individually but I’m finding myself lacking the mental wherewithal right now. This incident was just shy of 10 years ago, and I’m in a much better place now, both literally and figuratively.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful I crashed my motorcycle quite a few years ago now. I was being stupid and didn't have my gear on. So I have some very extensive scars on my arms and legs.

I'm super insecure about them. I've worn long sleeves since they've healed.

Last summer I was feeling good about myself and not caring. So I went to the beach in a bikini. I was sitting there reading a book when a group of girls behind me starts talking about me.

There were several comments about my appearance but the one that really stuck was, "God, she should just k**l herself so we don't have to look at her."

Yeah so much for self confidence that day.

When i see someone with heavy scars my first thought is always about what they must have been through. I think it's actually cool - not in a macho kind of way, but in the sense that, as in this case, they were in a serious accident, survived to tell the tale and have visible reminders to not make the same mistake again. Would make me want to appreciate and enjoy every minute of my life like it was a second chance. And then you have brainless fückwits who think someone should cease to exist so that they will not feel mildly inconvenienced.

I spent a decade in the Army before my luck went entirely in the toilet and I was injured to the point of having to return to civie street. Best one I ever heard was while fishing on a public pier went something like "you're scaring the children, you should leave". I said "you're lowering their IQ. Maybe YOU should leave!" That remark got a few laughs from the guys standing around & it made my day. I just ignore the things. Had somebody ask me what happened once. I just looked at them puzzled. They said all the scars! My reply as I look down "where, then I scream aaaaggghhh! WTF happened"? They ran off like they were scalded, and people started cracking up. If you play it right, you can have a great deal of fun with what initially seems to be a problem.

I was in a horrific DUI car accident when I was 15. I had to have multiple surgeries to repair injuries. Needless to say, I have ugly scars all over my body with the worst being on my arms and back. I suffered from self confidence and esteem issues for years because of it. Years later, my dumpster fire of a human ex-MIL offered to buy my wedding dress so I was forced to take her shopping for it. I had finally gained the confidence to wear my scars proudly so I decided to try on sleeveless and backless dresses. I was standing in front of the mirror wearing “the one” and Dumpster Fire says, “I’m not paying for that dress. Find something that covers your scars. Nobody deserves to see that, especially while they’re eating. GROSS.” That worst part is, she’s the reason I have those scars. She was the DUI driver who caused the car accident.

At moments like this, no matter how much you want to shrink away or hit someone, make it a core memory for them. Call them out on their callousness and rude behavior so that one night, while they're putting their kids to bed or washing the dishes, or can't get to sleep, they think of you and how they tried to cause you damage for the mere audacity of existing. Make them never forget you.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful My biological father came back into my life when I was 14 and had a girlfriend. Everything was great for a year until she made him choose between his new family, and me. I got a text message on Christmas Day saying "Father and daughter relationship not working out, all the best for your future. Please dont call me, it will cause me problems". I was devastated, but my Stepfather has been my REAL dad since I was 3 years old, and he was the best dad in the world - we lost him to Cancer in December. He was the best best man and I miss him very much.

Edit: I woke up this morning to so many lovely and kind comments and DM's about my Stepdad and I'm kind of overwhelmed by your lovely words. Thank you for letting me talk to you all about him, it means alot to be able to share the kind of man he was. I've really been struggling since he passed away, talking about him here has helped. The world was a better place when he was here with us. Thank you all :).

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful In middle school a girl found out I had a crush on her and decided that best way to go about dealing with that was telling everyone at lunch how ugly she thought I was because I had acne at the time. Which really sucked. Because I was already *super* self conscious about it and kind of just a shy person in general.

Was made even worse because it was a small private school. So everyone knew everyone's business and there was no getting away from it. I stopped eating lunch in the lunchroom for all of that year. It sucked and the whole thing honestly made me feel like s**t for years.

As we got older and were in high school, I think she tried to get back on my good side. But she never actually apologized and honestly, that ship had already sailed for me. Too little and *way* too late.

On the last day of senior year I let all the air out of three of her tires.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful This wasn't really said to me, but it was said to my mom about me. I had admitted to my grandma that there was a girl that we both knew that I had a crush on (I'm a girl). I said it quick so I didn't think she'd catch it. But she did. A while later, she looked my mom dead in the eye and said something like, "It's such a shame. Your daughter WAS so pretty. Such a WASTE." So I'm a shame AND a waste... And if you think she ended there oh hoho!!! You're wrong!!! She later called my sister EXTREMELY FAT in front of me (I went up against her for that one). And right after we shunned her from our family, I found out there was a chance that she was "watching" my big bro because he, "Reminds her of her dead husband." She did way WAY worse than that to my mom. Even calling my mom a parasite in the middle of a restaurant. I'm glad she left. We almost got kicked out of our home because of her f*cked up lies.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful Had a huge crush on a friend in high school and asked her to a dance, she said no which was fine. Nothing was weird.

Then about a week later she started telling me how upset she was that no one had asked her to the dance and when I brought up I had her response was:

You don't count

Apparently she thought I had just asked her to be nice or something. When I told her that wasn't the case she still said no but apologized for saying it. Still really hurt though.

There you have it in a nutshell. There was nothing 'wrong' with OP: he just was in the wrong place with the wrong people. If you don't fit in or feel you don't fit in, that doesn't mean you're not able to fit in anywhere else: it just means that this environment does not suit you. Go and find the place that's right for you. If you have a toxic family, find another family: they dont' have to be blood-related. If you have a toxic spouse who makes you feel small all the time? With the right partner you have a chance to bloom. People are like plants: they will flower given the right conditions.

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

Oh I have several from my darling mother. Throughout my childhood she would regularly tell me in great detail what my abusive father did to her, then tell me that I was just like him. As a child she said “you do know that you were a mistake don’t you?” As an adult after my PhD graduation, when asked by others how it had gone, replied “I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life”. Never knew that any of this wasn’t normal until I started therapy.

My mum directing my attention to young guys in public when I was a teen, and gleefully teasing me that they'd looked at me. Everywhere we went. I was raised churchy and was DEEPLY confused about what modesty actually meant. I thought we weren't supposed to look like anyone men would want to look at ("don't be a stumbling block") so I couldn't fathom why mum would act so pleased/proud for me about it? I already wasn't allowed to hang out alone with my guy friends because I could "cause them an erection" or we might do thesex. This only served to alienate me from making close healthy friendships, because I was too scared to give the wrong impression to potential friends.

Anyway, Cedric made a big show of sighing loudly and then shouting "I don't want to stand next to the dog!" loud enough to be heard in the next school district. F#ck you, Cedric.

Unfortunately I have a very good memory. It sucks because of things like this. Alcoholic mean grandpa when I brought him a beer he asked for: "Maybe you're not such a little b*tch, huh?" Emotionally/psychologically abusive boyfriend when asked what physical characteristic he'd change about me: "Big a$$." I'd battled my weight my entire life and basically hadn't eaten for two years at this point. Frenemy from junior high when we were adults "Remember when we called you Peachfuzz because of your hairy face?" They never called me that to my face, I didn't know until that point. A coworker gave me some business casual clothes and I wore one of the shirts to work. She goes "Can you believe I was ever that big?!" (The shirt wasn't exactly billowy on me)

I have one that's not awful, more like awkward, but at the time I was utterly mortified. I always looked older that I was, maybe it was my glasses, or maybe the old lady haircuts my mom gave me. When I was 11 or 12, I went to a shop with my grandma to get some new underwear. The shop assistant took a glance at me and selected a transparent lacy set with a thong saying it would be perfect for a date. I was so embarrassed I remember it almost 30 years later :D

My mother has gaslighted me, made me the villain of her story, withheld love from me, played on my fears and spent my entire life trying to make me like her and my sisters. I'm adopted, they aren't. I've spent my life (54 years) trying to figure out who I am and how I can please my mother. I have several mental health diagnoses and have had a very difficult and traumatic life compared to my middle upper class sisters. I was visiting for Thanksgiving as I live in a different state from my entire family. My last night there my mother and I got into a fight. I tried to diffuse it She tried taunting me into participating. I finally asked what she wants from me. "I want you to be a normal person!" Nope. I finally saw the toxicity! No contact for you!

First off, I'm a Christian for context. Lost my triplet sons after my ex wife decided bed rest meant going to walk around a flea market for 6 hours. Then she decided then was great time to help her friend move. (I was at work, her mother was supposed to be helping her). The boys came later that evening and died at 23 weeks. My ex's aunt told me at the funeral "that's what you get for not following God's plan".
