The Type of Person I Hate
Type 3: The Insensitive Victim
The person who will make an insensitive comment about your weight, or your bad hair day, or your clothes not looking right (or some other obvious thing that you obviously cannot immediately fix, as opposed to the "oh, you have food in your teeth" "oh, thanks let me get that out" kind of thing). Especially the people who do this, but then claim they are insulted when you point out how that comment will make you feel insecure for at least the rest of the day, and how you are upset that they said that.
Example which is slightly exaggerated for effect:
Type 3: Ohmigod XXXXX, you have a muffin top in those jeans! Those are way too small for you. Why did you even wear those?
You: Thanks, Type 3, now I'll be stressing about that all day. Why on earth did you say that? It's not like I can just go change jeans... That was kind of a mean thing to say.
Type 3: Jeez, XXXXX, sorry. I was just trying to help. You don't need to go and attack me...
You: Seriously? You're the one who said I had a muffin top. I just pointed out that that was mean. I'm not attacking you or whatever. (At this point "you" may get a little rude or sarcastic due to the insanity of the accusation.)
Type 3: God, you do this all the time! You're SO sensitive. Calm down, XXXXX.
I call this type The Insensitive Victim because they will insult you by making an insensitive comment, and if you say anything about it, they play victim and act like you are insulting them.
