I hate that. It's so rude. Whenever we go visit my MIL, she says "you look tired". Well maybe it is because we worked a FULL day and then DROVE 5 hours to NY!! Chat Icon Ya think?Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: why do people think it's okay to say "you look tired"

my boss told me I look terrible this morning.

Well, i do. Then I put my eyeliner and mascara on and all of a sudden I have eyes.

I still look like sh!t. This week kicked my azz as usual.

Re: why do people think it's okay to say "you look tired"

I especially love the cooth-less men around here.
The other day I came in all done up- hair all curled, looking good (at least I thought I did!).
One of the guys- who I'm friendly with- says to me "went a little crazy with the curling iron today didn't we?"
I had to hold back from B!tch slapping him!!
Instead I said- yes I did, and I happen to like it, and no I didn't do it with you in mind so keep your comments to yourself!
At this point he gets embarrased and back pedals saying- oh no, I didn't say it looked BAD- just CURLY.. blah blah blah..

Yeah ok azzhat. You obviously have no clue how to interact with women! Go back in your hole! Chat Icon

Re: why do people think it's okay to say "you look tired"

I hate that too if it's someone I'm not close to...or they will ask me "what's wrong?"...NOTHING! Chat Icon Sometimes my expression just looks down..just the way I am.

I will however, tell my sister her hair looks greasy or she looks like $hity today Chat Icon Just the way we are.

Re: why do people think it's okay to say "you look tired"

When someone tells me that, and it happens alot at work (shocker!), I tell them, "thanks for saying I look like sh!t" because basically, how can looking tired ever be considered anything other than an insult? especially when it's not coming out of concern.

Re: why do people think it's okay to say "you look tired"

Someone said this to me yesterday - of course, I made up some excuse about my DS being up all night, but then I looked in the mirror b/c I thought I was looking pretty good!!! I hate when people say that!

OMG I was just talking about this!! A secretary here does this to me allll the time. I could feel so pretty one day and she'll be like.."Why do you look so tired? Are you sick? You look pale."

UGH.

Re: why do people think it's okay to say "you look tired"

I'm not sure if that would bother me - I think there are times you can still look like yourself but just look tired. Hmm - I'm not sure! Either way, it is probably better not to say it! haha!
