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