So she said what's the problem, baby?

Accidentally Offensive by Counting Crows
My schoolfriend last week said to me:
"You seem really happy today! Too happy infact. Why are you happy Jordan? Why?"
Um.. because I am happy?
I can't think of any for myself but my sister for a while would get comments like "You look good! How far along are you?" She was not pregnant.
Hohohoho! Asking a woman how far along she is...! :D
I've had so many accidentally offensive homo comments directed towards me, it's not even funny.
"Are you sure you're gay? You seem really normal." :-/
Brilliant.Quote:

I get that it's a compliment and an encouragement and saw it that way, but not without a quick thought of "oh, you're saying I don't normally look friendly"
"Wow, you look fantastic. I didn't recognise you." - Tony Stark, Playa.
I just have to share something I did a few weeks ago. One of our first patients was a blind woman and she came in for her appt. about 30 minutes early so I was frazzled.
I said "Okay ma'am, we just have some other forms for you to look over."
"..."
That's kind of like the time I was at a restaurant when a man in a wheelchair came in and the hostess said "sit wherever you'd like".
I would have parked my ass in the god damn kitchenQuote:

SuUUUUure that's why.
EDIT: oops
I've had a few older people (anywhere from like 30+) ask if the university caters to people like them. They often phrase it in a way that makes themselves sound old or whatever. I don't usually pay enough attention to how they phrase it so I end up saying "Yeah of course!" and they feel like I'm just validated their suggestion that they're old and decrepit. On the plus side, they'll be dead soon so I don't have to feel guilty for long, right?
i keep yawning when people are talking to me.
My boss after me showering for the first time in several days: "NICE HAIR WASH"
She legitmately meant it as a compliment but I felt like she was calling me out for having greasy hair before :aimmad:
Why didn't you shower?Quote:

Like I said.
As I'm currently going back to school, about to turn 32, and apparently about to die and crumble to dust, all of this. :stare:Quote:

A while back, when I was still pregnant, I was talking with a guy I crushed on for a while. He said, "Man you were so hot last year, I'm so glad we're finally talking."
My response, "..... Wait, last year?"
Hah, my grandma does exactly the same things, bless her. The irony being she's not exactly thin and light herself.Quote:

I just remembered one. I've had 3 people tell me that I remind them of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. All 3 times I was just silent in response. Still really have no idea how to take that. Lol.
My grandma told me dark hair makes me look like a slut.Quote:

Foot -----> mouth
As in, he looks stronger or fatter?
i still think you musta said balls.
trying to say more muscular.
SHE MEANS HE'S SKINNY.
balls
I would find it weird if someone complimented my balls. I'd still thank them, though. Gotta be polite!
"Now that you've cut your hair short, your butt looks HUGE! Unf unf, lay it on me! /smug"
How could that possibly be offensive? :kakapo:Quote:
