Name calling
 

What is the worst thing someone has ever called you and what did you do to deserve it???????? :D :D :p

I think the worst thing i was called was a fag....i did nothing to deserve it...the fun part is playing along with such idiots:P

The worst thing i was ever called was an evil unfeeling bitch just cause i told the truth rather than lie. that person apologized soon as the situation proved i was right and she was ultimately wrong.

i was called shrimp or shorty a bit, because i was short. that was about the worst though, because that type of thing doesn't really worry me. then i got called professor once, which was meant in a good way, so it sort of evens out.

When you have been riding motorcycles and been the enforcer;for
a few gangs;ran a customizing and repair motorcycle shop;been
an automotive parts counterman and been an aircraft,marine,
motorcycle,automotive,etc.,mechanic;there is not much that you
HAVEN'T been called by the public.It used to bother me;but now I
realise that as long; as I do the best job possible;and know it;thats all that I can do.I don't think that I deserved any of it.
You can make some of the people happy;some of the time;but you
can't make all of the people;happy;all of the time! Irish
P.S.My philosophy is that you're just doing something that they
can't do!

I think although I was called plenty of names in school, the worst name I have ever been called is "a terrible mother". This was from my then-17yo son during an argument over the fact he was seeing a girl that was nearly 21 and had, for his 17th b'day, given him a 5th of Vodka!! :eek:

Although I knew there was NO validity to his claim, this hurt me very, very deeply. I began questioning and second-guessing everything I had done while raising my sons. Eventually it caused me to go into a depression.:( (I'm fine now.)

We talked about it a few years later and he told me that he never meant it and only said it in anger. I wish I had realized that right away. I really should have too. But I couldn't help wondering if he really believed it...and if so what had I done or not done that was so bad. I did the best I could with the resources I had available to me at the time. I could do no more.
We have settled this and it's OK now. He's really a very fine young man of 22 now.:) :)

well the worst for me was when i was growing up i was constantly referred to as "slant eyes" no idea why, it just seemed like the thing for kids to do at the time and it made me really self conscious about my eyes , now however I am very happy with my almond shaped eyes thank you...lol
*kisses*

I'd have to say that the worst thing that I've ever been called is a "bad friend". The funny thing was that I didn't deserve. My friend liked this girl and so did I. I asked him if I could take her out and he said yes. When I did, he got pissed and said that I should have read between the lines.

Sugarsprinkles---Don't worry about it!Now that I don't;consume;
alcohol anymore;I realise that alot of the; parental duties;had to
be taken care of by my wife.I know that;your husband;used to drink;also.I'm not blaming him but you have to realise that many
of those things are taken for granted and never thought of;by the
other mate.When you have been;a drinker;all of your life;it's amazing;how many things go unnoticed by you! Irish
P.S.Things look differently;when you look at them;from;both sides!(No excuses-just reality)

Irish,
You've got me totally lost here....I'm not sure how my husband's drinking has anything to do with this or where I said he neglected his parental duties.
This incident took place 6 or 7 years after my husband quit drinking. And he never neglected his parental duties. He was very involved with our boys, including going to Boy Scout camp with them every summer.
Somehow I'm missing your point...please help me out here.

Sugarsprinkles---The point doesn't matter and I DIDN"T SAY THAT
YOUR HUSBAND NEGLECTED his parental duties.I meant that alot
of things;go unnoticed when you are drinking.I don't know the age of your children.I just know that;I thought that I was doing a
good job with mine.They were;probably;embarrassed by me being
overprotective of them.I participated in all of their sports functions
but was very vocal because of the prejudices against women
atheletes(sp)I should have kept my thoughts to myself.I was just
trying to help.One daughter was a very good pitcher.A kid can be
affected by someone;calling an obvious strike a ball.Even tho;my
daughters;are in thier 30's,the injustice still must bother me.I
know how;they must have felt.I was a Little League Pitcher! Irish

I think I understand what you're trying to say now..

But I don't think objecting to a 20 yr. old giving a 17 year old a Fifth of Vodka is being over protective. Not when the 17yo knows that alcoholism runs in his family and that he was underage!



This is what I.mis-understood as meaning
that my husband neglected his parental duties.

I got called a mistake by my real father. I had to give him a bill from my orthopedist <I was looking into having hip replacement surgery when I was 15.> He told me that I should have been born perfect, that I should have been born a boy, and that if I hadn't been such a mess, my parents never would have gotten divorced.

I haven't spoken to him in over 16 years, but it still hurts. My stepdad walked me down the aisle when I got married.

Wow, roxanne, your dad sounds like a piece of work. I'm sorry to hear he's so mean and takes his failuers and shortcomings out on you. :( It's obviously his problems which have nothing to do with you! Hugs, roxanne!

My current boss calls me a feminist. I do consider myself a feminist but my moron boss says it like it's an insult. Mybe it's not the worst thing I've ever been called but it really shows what an idiot he is. He doesn't have the capability of understanding a lot of issues, I guess.
