Am i being rude ?.

I started going grey from the
age of 30 and now like my great grandfather it is slowly going white . Its not something I could change unless I go for the Just for Men mahogany coloured dyed look (not keen ) but what I find rude is people who have not seen me for some time pointing out in a loud voice the words 'Bloody hell you've gone grey or your looking old ! so I have recently taken to immediately ramping up the personal insults back to them but with virtually no filter . It really stops them dead in their tracks and most of the time leaves them speechless or very embarrassed. Now I have a small percentage of guilt (10%) for what I say but 90% is revenge enjoyment ! is this wrong ? Please note these are individuals that know me but I would not class them as friends or mates .

 

They have a memory of when they last saw you. Their own time phase is day to day , so they don’t focus on their own “ changes”.
So look at it that way and be pleased they are not your friends. That said they are k****s .

 

TBH, I think pulling out a .38 Smith and Wesson and shooting them in the leg is probably a bit over the top.

 

Nahhhhh,, go to town mate. Give em some. If you are getting flack, and you know it’s gonna come, just get your return volley ready which as you know will catch ‘em off guard possibly because they’re just having an instantaneous reaction whereas you could have some strategic and seemingly instant heart wrenching responses.


COMPETITION TIME METHINX.

Something like ,,,,,,”Milky,,, you’re looking old”

and respond with,,,

“yeah but I would never have believed that you could have got even uglier”
“BUT,,,,, you certainly did”

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,great responses required guys

 

Thanks for the encouraging replies back Ozziedog you were correct about how it catches them off guard and they normally go exceptionally quiet afterwards . My favourite responses was pointing out to one invidual that his teeth were very similar to Clyde the orangutan from the Clint Eastwood movies .With this knowledge I will carry on going about my day quietly and politely but happily knowing that I have verbal equivalent of a loaded 0.38 Smith and Weston that I am ready to use .

 

Sounds like you need Just for Men hair dye.

 

My wife likes to tell me how my hair is almost white……..I just point out how fat and ugly she is……that shuts her up.

 

Stock answer:

'Did you know, I was just thinking the same thing about you'.

If you want to hit hard, add a 'people told me you'd been ill, but I never thought it was serious'.

 

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,Oooooh,,,,, I likes them bud

 

I moved back to where I grew up, well, around 20 miles away after 30 ish years.
Occasionally I'll see people I've not seen in 35 ish years.

We all get older - the unlucky ones don't!

 

Ozziedog,,,,,,,and that’s a great response too

 

I'm in a philosophical mood this week.

I've concluded - people fall into one of three categories.

Those that own a wok.
Those that own a wok and use it often.
Those that don't own a wok.

 

Wok and roll man, wok and roll!

 

And have hair with more colours than a gypsy's horse . No thank you !

 

Is that a local expression - Ive never heard it.

I have heard more hair colours than a meeting of weight watchers - but that is very unkind, if not well observed comment.

 

My hair is self cutting!


Well - the majority of it is

 

Ah......now.

Unless they own some form of food preparation business - are they 'your' sort of people?

If they are - you possibly fall into Category C 'those that don't own a wok' subsection 1 'those with wok envy'

If they aren't then you fall into the category C 'those that don't own a wok' subsection 2 'those that avoid gratuitous wok owners'



I can feel an excel spreadsheet coming on.



Edit: I mis read your post.

You fall into your own category of 'willful public wok ownership bragging' or 'indecisive culinary equipment purchases' or possibly 'short term memory loss sufferer'
