25 of the Most Bizarre Comments Strangers Have Made About Someone’s Appearance

While most people may offer a kind “thanks!” or a polite nod upon having a stranger hold the door open for them, these basic manners have still managed to evade some particularly curmudgeonly folks. In fact, one Redditor recalled the time the mannerable gesture was met with an insult instead of gratitude.

“I decided to be a nice person and hold the door open for a family that was leaving,” the Redditor, who had colorful dyed hair, recalled of their night out. “The father of this family looks at me on his way out and says, ‘Halloween’s over!’”

Their good deed certainly didn’t go unpunished, and it reminded other Redditors of the times strangers made bizarre comments about their appearance. The wildest potshots involved those about weird nipples, a mole face and a ticket from “the Fashion Police.”

 7y ago Some lady was talking to me, and mid-conversation said, Sorry, I just have to ask, do you have pink-eye or something? Your one eye is slanted. I blamed it on my contact, but I knew what she was talking about. My one eyelid has always been droopier than the other, and I'm a bit self conscious about it. But why would she think it was pink-eye? My eye wasn't even red... The rule I have always stuck to is this: if the person can't fix it in 10 seconds, don't mention anything about their appearance. If they

Thomaslx 7y ago I have cystic acne, I'm on meds and everything, and sometimes new people tell me stuff like have you tried washing your face every day and when I have a pimple I put (insert product) on it and it disappears, AS SMALL TALK.

evohans 7y ago . Edited 7y ago I was wearing a thin sweater when I was 13 years old, when a dude said ew you have weird nipples; because my sweater was just thin enough to see the outline of my nips (i'm a dude).

It's become a full- blown issue that's affected my life with insecure thoughts. edit: Please stop PMing me asking to see my nipples. - 841 ...
bjhumes 7y ago My sister and | were walking into an Italian restaurant a couple of years ago in November. I like do dye my hair crazy colors pretty regularly and most of the time, people wont say anything if they arent a fan.

mario2isamariogame 7y ago Edited 7y ago I actually got a note from The Fashion Police. Two girls walked up to me and handed me a note and told me not to read it until I got where I was going. I don't remember what it said exactly, but I do remember it saying I was fucking things up for everybody. I'm sorry for all the lives I've ruined with my black sweats and plain t-shirt. Edit: Come to think of it, I bet it was a ticket from the Fashion Police. 15 years later and I just now get the

trolldoll26 7y ago When I was in third grade, we had a rival third grade class. This meant that during lunch, the girls from each class would group together and yell insults back and forth.

I never forgot the way she yelled that at me and it stayed with me until I had the moles removed at the age of 27. 73 ...
