Yes, you can! Do it once and see what happens, not only therapeutic, but what a way to shut up a busybody!!! Even if you never did it again, that would be a juicy memory to dredge up with some satisfaction from time to time!

Rance, that's awful...but...hilarious!!
My dad told me that once his second wife told him matter of factly during intercourse: "You're not as big as Willard was".
My dad said that sealed the fate of his second marriage...bye bye.!!!

(By the way, I told my real mother over martinis one evening when we were both chatting about the family and a-z that my dad told me once he was 8". My mom almost spit her drink out and said...well, he must have had a growth spurt!)

Yeah no s**t! I mean what do you do? Toss her out of bed of course...but man what a wake up call. I escorted her out the door 5 minutes later, then kindly packed her things into hefty trash bags and tossed them out in the driveway the next day. Then I called her girlfriend and asked her to please pass on the message to get her crap outa the driveway before it gets run over. We'd been married 5 years and had 2 young kids. It sucked let me tell you. Turns out she'd been messing around on me for over a year. Makes for a great chapter in the book of life!

Another time I called to check on him and to be nice I said to her if you need anything call me, she said "if I need anything from you, then I'm really in trouble".

2. My father. He took off when we were kids, never paid support etc... So when I'm in my twenties gets back in touch and in the meantime he was remarried, had a kid and then divorced again. His ex was moving a couple hours from him, so he was telling me the story and then had the nerve to say, "I can't believe she's taking my daughter away, now I'll never get to see her". This is after he abandoned me and my brothers.

People are sick. (some)
Mine is not as bad as that, Rapture, but a weird uncle (my father's brother) after I was in a car accident (my arm was in a cast-this was the only time I ever had an accident) commented that I was "acting like a child" and that I would not be invited to his other brother's funeral. Also- at that time my father was in a wheelchair, and I was the caretaker for him- Uncle Tom did nothing to help. Very strange, and sick to have family that acts that way. And it still hurts after all these years (this was 11 years ago)

I don't know if this qualifies in the, 'rudest comment', department or not, but it was the best come-back/jam anyone ever put back in my face.
Probably 15 years ago I was on a bowling team and knew pretty much everyone who worked in the bowling establishment. There was this one particular lady who worked behind the food/drink counter that was a lot of fun, and we would pick at each other and joke all the time. One night, I was waiting at the counter and in front of several people, while blatantly looking at her in the breast area, made the old comment, "Dang Delores, is it cold in here or are you just happy to see me?" She stopped what she was doing, leaned over the counter and with eyes looking at my front pockets said, "Larry, is that a half of a pack of Certs in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" It goes without saying that the other guys at the counter thoroughly enjoyed that jam and commented on that for quite some time. To this day whenever I see Delores, I still mention that and give her props for the best come-back anyone has ever hit me with...lol

I work with alot of younger males (20 somethings) and I am in my 40s and have been asked several times over the years - straight out the two questions a man should never ask a woman....

1. How old are you?

2. Do you colour your hair?

I usually answer: "That is something a gentleman never asks and a lady never reveals!"

Luckly, I don't get asked the third question a man should never ask a woman...

3. How much do you weigh?


I am from the ol' school days when men never asked these things, but this younger generation doesn't seem to know social etiquette.


This was embarassing - more than an insulting: I remember when I was in my hospital room after I had given birth to our daughter and my husband was in the room with me and the baby.

Then my husband brought in his 14 year old son (from a previous marriage) into the room. My husband had greying hair (he was 13 years older than me and I was 24 years old) and his 14 year old son looked older than his age....

...anyway....the nurse comes into my room and states that I was supposed to breastfeed the baby and she (doesn't use his name) but just takes my husband by his elbow and leads him away and asks him to wait out side of room until I finished --- and leaves his son in the room with myself and the nurse!!

I then asked her why she sent him out of the room? And the nurse said,"Well, I thought it would be uncomfortable for you to have the GRANDFATHER in the room while you breastfed."

I asked her who she thought he (the 14 year old) was, "Oh, isn't he your husband?" "No, he's my step-son..you put the husband outside!"

....she was SO embarassed....my step-son bolted out of the room...my husband was less than amused....I just laughed!!!

I bet from that moment on, that nurse always asked new moms, "Who do you want to stay in the room while you breast feed?!", instead of assuming who's what.

Hey, maybe we can start a new thread, mean things the mother-in-law has said to us, and I could add the mean things she says to my kids.

I married a Filipina, and one of the guys in my unit insisted that I had married a slope. He was never very popular.

I was shopping at Sam's Club with my 18yr old son and 9 yr old daughter I'm 45, one of the sample ladies 1) thought my son was my daughters father 2) after my daughter corrected her "this is my brother", turned to me and said "How old were you when you had him?" Very calmly I said 26 and walked away.
