Stupid things people say. . ..

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

We're a family of four, and if you go through a drive-thru and get 4 large sodas... and only two people are in the car...

they don't give you a drink carrier?


And when I tell everyone I'm leaving to go to Florida in a week, they say, "Really?" No people. It's all a lie to make you look stupid.

[Toby's my baby]

No, death is much longer

LMAO, good one!

the one i will remember for a long time is when we only had Kodie and we took him to a fair that was in the country side..

"Look at the size of that dog!You could ride that thing"

When I'm looking for something and someone says "It will be in the last place you look"

DUH! When I find it I'm GOING TO STOP LOOKING, so even if it's the FIRST place I look it will also be the last.

"You're so small!" (I'm 5"2). I absolutely HATE when people say that! REEEEALLY???? I didn't notice!
And when I was younger people would always comment that I was "such a shy little thing".

So what?!!!!

[PJ's Mom]

I am the queen of saying stupid things, so I rarely make fun of or complain about people who say stupid things.

The checker at the grocery store says, "Come back". I say, "You too!"

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Whenever I go to a docs appointment, my hubby keeps asking me: "when will you be back"?? Difficult to answer, right

Years ago, when we were trying to get pregnant, some people said really stupid things, like: Well, when will you finally start having a family", and to my hubby "Do you need me to make a picture"??

[caseysmom]

I went through 9 years of infertility Lut I know what you mean...there were a lot of really insensitive comments.

[mina'smomma]

As some of you know I've been suffering from medical problems as a side effect of my birthcontrol. So yours truely has been going through one medical test after the next. My dad looks at me today after sitting there listening me to tell my mom about feeling like a pin cushion from all the pokes I've suffered from, and askes.......


You're going to a doctor for your problem right???? (no dad I'm getting poked with needles for the fun of it!)


I can very much sympathize with you Lut. People can be such jerks.

*Chuckles* A few years ago, someone was chastixing one of my friends for being childfree...they asked her "Are you TRYING to get pregnant??" and she answered "Well, actually, lately we've been doing more *interesting things that won't get you pregnant but I can't post here* but maybe soon we'll start *Activity that will get you pregnant* again."

The only time I laughed so hard that I DID fall over!

[sumbirdy]

Everytime i ask my brother something he says "do you want me to be honest?" or "Honestly?"
No! I want you to lie to me.

I thought it would be fun to have a thread about stupid/ dumb/ funny things people say. One that always comes to mind for me is when people say:

"life is short" - life is not short, its the longest thing there is. . .

What else can you think of?

Heh, I remember a George Carlin sketch about "life is short". He said, "Life is short? What the hell? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!" and goes on to say something like he'd like to see if you've done anything longer.

[Sevaede]

I don't think 'life is short' is a stupid statement. It is infact very true. People say that to remind friends/family that we should cherish each other while we are around. One day, someone dear to us will pass on, and yes...life is too short to hold grudges, or 'not care' about things, because once someone's life ends, there would be things we'd regret, if we didn't realize life is short ahead of time. You realize how short life is when you lose a loved one. Life can end when we are least expecting it.

I believe the original post was made with the best of intentions and not with a lack of knowledge of certain things.
