Stupidest reason you've ever been insulted

[uzo]

I was walking along holding hands with my girlfriend in university one day, and a big group of rugby tools yelled out '******!' at me. Then they all got into a ute and drove away. Oh, btw, they were all naked at the time. WTF ?!?! I'm walking along with my girlfriend, minding our own business, and then a large group of NAKED men start calling me homosexual, before all jumping in a car *together* and driving off to fuck-knows-what. Srsly?!

Only other situation that has really made my blood boil was in Japan. I was on a train heading home from work with one of the Japanese girls who worked there (as in we were going the same way, not she was coming back to my place). I don't remember what we were talking about - work, weather, beer? nothing important anyway - but I had noticed a grumpy looking older Japanese gent sitting on the other side from her. He was reading the Daily Yomiuri (an English language newspaper), so he must have been quite good at English. We were speaking English (I speak Japanese but she usually wanted to try to speak English for practise). But when we were getting closer to my stop, he started the rumble-grumble-bumble shit that Japanese guys do when they disapprove of something. Very threatening to her, mildly comical to me. The key thing is I speak a very rough form of Osaka dialect. I didn't learn softly-softly Japanese from a university lecturer who learnt Japanese from the Tale of Genji. If Joe Pesci in Goodfellas was Japanese, he'd speak the way I do. Once he'd said his piece (it was bullshit about foreigners having no respect for Japanese ways and that I only wanted to fuck her) he got up to leave. The thing was, this was my stop as well. >

I followed very closely to him, blood pumping in my ears. I don't think I'd been that furious more than a handful of times in my life. But I knew the J-lawman would throw my gaijin arse in jail in a heartbeat (my best friend in Japan - an Englishman - spent more than 5 weeks in solitary confinement without charge for getting in a fight with a bouncer in Osaka). So I didn't touch the guy. I just followed him. To the other platform. He was changing to a local train. So I got on the same train and sat *right* next to him. Then I got off at his station as well. And followed him. He went through the gates. I had my teiki (monthly pass) so I could still follow him. I followed him down the back streets. I followed him into the more residential area. Then slowly he managed to go in a big circle back to the station. I followed him *back onto another train* ... back to my station again (which was a more central suburb) ... and then out through the ticket gates ... down the street ... and right up to the koban (police box) .. at which point I disappeared into the shadows and Nosferatu'd myself outta there. I trust he will not change his opinion of foreigners, but I'm sure he'll remember that I could have messed him up several times during our walk together but didn't. I hope he wakes up with cold sweats hearing my footsteps behind him in the dark, dirty streets of Osaka.

1- Being a girl.
This one has many facets, I've been insulted for not acting girly enough, for playing games, for being a nerd, for saying no to sending people I dont know over the internet my picture. Stuff like that. Its strange, IRL I am more likely to get insulted by non-nerds for being a nerdy girl, and nerdy guys are really nice to me but on the internet its pretty much the other way round.

2- Having divorced parents.
A teacher of mine was just pretty much mental about this. She constantly referred to me as being from a `broken home`, and predicted I would go to prison or die young because my parents were selfish and divorced.

... wat?

Are divorces that rare in the UK, or was it just the teacher? I think I know at least 4 people with divorced parents.

OT: I get insulted sorta, because I pronounce the iphone game "WordFeud" as "Wordfoid" because in german e + u = oi sound. While I admit that it is a little strange, since Wordfeud is an english name, and I'm actually Swedish, not german, I still don't think it counts as a reason to insult someone.

I haven't "seen the light" because my favorite Pokemon generations are the second and fourth. I have no idea why it's bad to like my favorite Pokemon over the first generation.

I'm in the same boat as you, except I like all five generations, but nooo there's only 151 pokemon and if you think there is more then you're an idiot. I even get insulted for not agreeing that gen 1 was perfect, sure it was good but it was far from perfect. And personally the other gens are just better games. Of course that's just my opinion. Another thing I get insulted for is not using Pokemon like Charizard or Gyarados and to that I say this. "Strong Pokemon, weak pokemon this is just a common misconception made by selfish people, a real trainer fights with the Pokemon they love the most." (Karen Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver)

French surrendering jokes are always a hoot. In a game I play, French units have just been released, and the amount of dumbass "jokes" amount white flags, 5 gear reverse, etc.... is staggering. This was on a European server group, so 90% of all the members are Europeans.
Now, when it's just some retard posting a joke, it's a simple matter of reporting and moving on.

But once in a while, some butthurt poster will go on an entire rant how we are all scumbags and cowards, for the sole reason of being told so by the internet and bad media ten years ago. I wouldn't take offence, but when people insult the memories of my family, which had a history of fighting, and some dying in WWII, yeah, I get pissed off.

How can people be so willingly ignorant and hateful?

That must be world of tanks. I don't even think its hateful or ignorant, they just don't see it as a "real" insult. The same way most people don't think calling someone gay is an insult. Of course the actual ranters are trying to insult, but the majority I don't think realise.

On a more confused note, I don't understand why people use the french tanks, they're quite painful to use early on.

Those DAMNED french tanks... They eat all of my tanks for breakfast, and im rolling with a Sherman atm. =(

They are hard to kill.

It stresses me out when people treat me like I'm a dumb ass just because I tend to stutter in conversations. (its from my aspergers) Instead of taking the time to get to know me, some just assume I must be an idiot.

 

[albinoterrorist]

At traffic lights, wearing a multi-coloured rainbow-style scarf up over my mouth, cheeks and nose (Cold winter is cold) when three girls (aged 13-15~ish) appear on the other side.

Lights go green, people start to cross.

Whilst crossing, they spot me, and their eyes light up with amazement.

Just as they pass right by me, the one closest to me whispers to the others: "Terrorist!" and they all break out into barely suppressed laughter.

Flamboyancy = Terrorism. I'll keep that in mind. (Also, I suppose that's where your username originates?)

Funnily enough, no.
I just picked the name at roughly 13 to be controversial and edgy, and took it across to PSN a couple of years back for trollbait.

This incident happened earlier this month.

Ironic, though, now that I think about it.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Neither of my two siblings have middle names. I do. I have honestly been insulted for this fact.

At the time, I could not stop laughing until after the guy left.

I don't like Charizard because he is fat and I don't like Gyarados because of his typing. The way I see it, I have more fun kicking ass with an Empoleon than with say Blastoise. That's right, a penguin with steel typing AND blades for Wings while having fingers on said wings is way more badass to me than a turtle with water cannons.

By the way, Smogon can F off for ruining the fun of online play, I am okay somewhat with their tiers, but it's their guides and shit that make me angry, the best Pokemon to use is excadrill, why? Because he has sand rush and an attack that is practically on level with Haxorus. They have guides on how to perfect something as overpowered as that.

Sorry for the rant

I love all of the generations, but my favorites are the second and fourth

 

[SailorShale]

I was looking at Magic the Gathering cards in a store, and some group of 14 year olds were hovering behind me just talking. One of them gets offended, calls me gay, and the rest decide to "see how I like being stared at" and then they just...stared at me. I just walked out of the store, totally bewildered. I'm confused of how they assumed I was staring at them (and being gay) while my head was turned the other direction looking at something else entirely?

Aye, brilliant armour, terrible guns. Then again, shermans aren't very good man. I'm rolling in a T-28 and I can eat shermans if I maneuver right.

Yeah. I could eat KVs with my M3 Lee, but the shermans bounce right off

 

[Valanthe]

Once for being too pale-skinned ("I wouldn't go out in public if I looked like you...no offense.") and just recently because the commentor didn't like my voice (yet keeps watching videos I narrate).

Why is it that whenever someone says "No offense," what they're really saying is, "I am fully aware that what I am about to/just said is incredibly rude and offensive to you, but I'm going to say it anyways?"

Anyway, on topic, craziest insult I've ever had to deal with was at the church I used to attend, one of my friends, whom I'd known for several years, finally came out of the closet and admitted to being gay. Now I'd known about this for some time, so it never made a difference to me, but the sudden change the church group went over was astounding, and unfortunately because I happened to be male and his friend, in their eyes I must also be gay, not that I was ever asked, and they never had the guts to -actually- say anything to my face, but we both got the hint loud and clear when the next two weeks worth of sermons/bible study were centred around the sins and evil of homosexuality.

That was one of a laundry list of reasons I left that church and have never looked back.

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

In middle school i was often called a stupid Mexican and told to get out of America. This is funny because I'm Italian/Irish and was born in Washington D.C. and have never been outside the country.

The reason for these insults is because before moving back to Virgina (we moved away for about 5 years). I lived in New Mexico for a year and a half.

I want to make this clear. They're are people in Virgina so fucking stupid that

A) They don't realize that New Mexico is one of the 50 states and not part of Mexico proper
and
B) Can't tell if your white if you have brown hair and a slight tan.


It wasn't just the students either. when i moved back to Virgina i was put in a remedial class where i had to do those little vocabluary and math computer programs they made you do back in 1st grade. I later found out that since i was "from new mexico" the teachers wanted to make sure that i was proficient enough in the english lanuage to attend class with the other students. I don't even speak Spanish! You would think a simple sit down and a chat could have cleared that up!

Fortuantly after about 3 weeks i was so far ahead of the rest of the class that they realized i didn't belong there so i got an extra elective of my choice. Still, If your going to make fun of my race then the least you can do is get my race correct.

 

[Kapri]

Waaaay back in high school someone called me a Satanic (I wore a lot of metal shirts and all black). I'm not, of course, and it just made me laugh so I turned to them and shouted "Hail Satan!" in a cutesy, high pitched voice. They stared at me blankly as I walked off chuckling to myself. Priceless!

 

[Pebblig]

This weekend I was walking back from the shop with a few friends (at about 20:00), discussing a friend called Jomy who works part time in McDonald's. The man who was alone (and most likely drunk) who walked past stopped in the middle of the road and shouted "You f*cking talking about me?" Etc. while shouting more things and swearing, then ended with "C*NTS" at the top of his voice.

Apparently this man may be called "Johnny" and assumes he's the only person with this name, or he feels that McDonald's is a particularly sensitive issue. I still don't know, but I hope I don't bump into him again ):

The other time (about 6 years ago) I was walking home from school, so two kids on bikes decided to harass me the entire way home, simply because they came across me.

There was this one person who was acting like a dumbass jock and i said i know a girl who's tougher than you.
He responded with "I know a girl who's uglier than you" all I have to say is INSULT FAILURE

 

[General Ken8]

I've been insulted quite a bit for running cross country. My favorite was when I was having a conversation with a kid from my school about how good our cross country team was doing. At the time, our football team was pretty laughable, and the kid said to me, "Wow, that's pretty sad." When I asked him why, he said, "Because then our school sports would be represented by wimpy kids in short shorts."
And this is coming from a kid who doesn't even do sports, and also he was being completely serious. If I had been in a worse mood, I probably would've attempted to murder him

I was looking at Magic the Gathering cards in a store, and some group of 14 year olds were hovering behind me just talking. One of them gets offended, calls me gay, and the rest decide to "see how I like being stared at" and then they just...stared at me. I just walked out of the store, totally bewildered.

I also get insulted for playing Magic, but oddly enough, I get insulted more for cross country
