You look tired
 

Someone just randomly told me that. Gee thanks! I am though. I was up late last nite. Not that late though. But I had an emotionally draining night. Anyway, don't tell someone they look tired! :lol:

Well, at least they didn't say, "so when is the baby due?"

That is a horrible thing to say to a woman.

PS-- don't let someone's mindless comment ruin your day!

How about to a man. I ve been asked that. But I'm ok with myeslf. yeah I could lose a few but oh well

I know. I can't believe the things people say sometimes. Christ people, be supportive! :lol:
And Suze, even though I cannot see you, I'm sure you look tired in that sexy, sleepy eyed kind of way. :lol:

OMG David thats horrible! :eek:

I was trying to be supportive. :( Did it come across wrong? -- sorry...

You know what, it really doesnt bother me. I know no one forced me to ,eat the things I do, but I like food. But i'M ALSO SECURE WITHN myself enough not not let that stuff get to me

Good attitude!!

But we need to focus on suzequze....

Yes, of course!! enough about me.:nod:

:xoxo: You're too sweet. I'm fine, it just struck me as an odd thing to say. but when I was putting on my makeup this morning I did notice my eyes looking wrong.

Chris, you're right, I look totally sexy when I am tired. :lol:

What's with all this wet noodle crap? Am I the only one who thinks these people need a f*cking beat down?? :laugh:

I wish I could say the same thing.:lol:

I think she meant the guy sticking his foot in his mouth telling me I look tired. However, his heart was in the right place, he just sounded concerned. It wouldn't be as weird if I actually knew this guy. He's one of our catering guys who I have never actually talked to. What an icebreaker, eh?

No, anyone who tells David he looks pregnant needs to be smacked. :lol:

EH its ok. You what I told that person? I MAY BE FAT BUT I STILL GET LAID!!!!:nod: :lol:

Haha! Or, "I could lose a little weight, but what are you going to do about that face?" :lol:

Did I say something that upset you?

He means the people who say that crap to you. Hello??? ;)

I know. I'm just in a weird mood today. :lol: Fel like havin fun

Yes, that's what I meant. :) Sorry if I wasn't clear. And not just to the people who say that crap to you, David, but a lot of people are in serious need of a beat down. Don't people get mad anymore?

Oh I see. :cool: I am in a mood today too. Must be because I'm tired. I've gotta focus on work for a bit tho. Its hard today!

I tend to always be tired, and always have dark circles/bags under my eyes. (I have sleep apnea, but don't use my machine like I should, because I have more trouble sleeping with the mask on than without.) You'd be amazed how many people make similar comments to me. Sometimes, they even precede it with "You look awful." Some people just have no common sense.

Hows the weather there? It's like 55 and sunny here. Its like indian summer:cool:

It's bloody cold but sunny, its only 42 degrees.

I get that a lot too because I pretty much always have dark circles under my eyes-it's hereditary. I think the only people someone should say stuff like that to is maybe a spouse, family member, etc. You should NEVER tell a freaking co-worker or client, "You look tired". That's crazy. I'm sure even in your tired state, you look lovely. :)

And for the love of God, no one should ever ask a woman when her baby is due, etc. That could be such a disaster, especially if they just had the baby, or whatever. I'm still of the belief that unless you have something nice to say to someone, you should keep your mouth shut. You know what else kills me? When someone looks at you and says, "SMILE!" Like you're supposed to walk around with a grin on your face for no reason. Gah, people should really just shush.

My eyes do have dark circles. Also, I spent 40 minutes smoothing out my hair this morning but its the tiredness that gets the attention. :rolleyes:

That pregnant question is a quagmire. I used to work with a woman who was very thin but she had a little bump in her lower abdomen. Well, it wasn't so little and she would get asked that all the time! I had a friend ask someone once who wasn't pregnant. My friend was mortified. She told me never to ask anyone that. :laugh: Not that I ever would!

if someone says that, lower your voice, and look around as if you're divulging a huge secret, and say "you know...my new lover won't let me get a second's rest! it's just sex sex sex all the time! I'm not getting any sleep! and he's hung like a horse (or some other appropriate personal comment), so you know, sex is QUITE taxing, if you know what I mean!"....hehehehhe:lol:

OMG -- you are so bad!!!

Are you the same person who violently waves hello to people you cut off in traffic? Can't remember....:lol:

hehe...i never said do, but I do that, too! hehe

SuzeQuze -- is your day going any better? :xoxo:

What a polite way of saying you look like ****. :rolleyes:

You know, you look tired...:lol:

No, I didn't mean you. :) I just meant people in general.

Suze - you should have used some snappy retort.
But don't feel bad. About 6 days ago I noticed that my dark circles have increased somewhat dramatically. And not in a sexy way. More like in a malnourished looking way. :laugh:
I have no doubt you look fine.
Also, I hate when people say that.

A Buddhist promoting anger? :confused: :lol:

Coworkers have said this to me, when I am not wearing eye makeup. It so rarely sounds like the person has concern - more like Diss said, a way of saying you look like ****.

The only time that comment would be alright with me is if it is followed by an offer of:
a day off
some tea
a pillow:nod:

Hey - there's a retort:
"You look tired today."
"I am tired. Could you get me a pillow?"

The other unwelcome comment I have always hated is:
"Smile" it is almost always uttered as a command, and from a stranger. I
don't know any unmedicated people who walk around with smiles on their faces all day:mad:

p.s. I thought your thread was going to be about all of us late-night ledgies.

:laugh:

That comment is the bane of my existence and just reading it sends me into a rage - imagine how I feel when people say it to me. And I must have heard it 4-5000 times by now. :)

i mostly get the tired comment from my Mom...well, yes, Mom, I DO look tired: I work full time..take classes...and am mom to all of these animals, and an adult male....i supposed i AM tired..zzzzzzzz

Well, you know...some situations call for getting mad as hell and not taking anymore. :nod: I'm not sure what some of you guys think Buddhism is, exactly. :shrug:
