The dumbest things people have said to you/about you

Dougie-------had this long missive--------about stupid people, hit a wrong key and it all went away.

Can't reproduce what I said. Stay on the boards, it will help. Many people are here to help.

 See and go to above hyperlink for some humor.

Oh g-d, that's aweful and for someone to say such a thing about their own mother.  Some things are just better left unsaid.

Jenn, your co-worker needs to learn some tact before she gets attacked!

Jen, you just can't fix stupid

cyborg - I love your answer to the catch it in time question.  I may borrow it for the right occasion.

Anyone out there?..........thread has gone cold.  Glad no dumb things are being said.  Wish I had one to post although I did tell my rads therapists today, that although I mean this in a good way,  I hope to never have to see them again.  Just finished my 6 weeks of radiation today. 

This thread has gone cold.  You mean you CAN get cancer after breast cancer?  People act like they have no common sense!

I taked with the hospital and I am having my hip replaced on April 4th.  Yea!  I haven't said much but I have been complaining to doctors about "groin pain" for several years with no one saying, gee, groin pain can be a symption of hip problems, maybe we should get an x-ray of your hip.  No, I had to ask for an x-ray.  When I consulted with an orhopedic surgeon he said groin pain is a typical symptom of the need for hip replacement.  I think it is some doctors that are dumb!  Geez!

OMG kmccraw, I have been having groin pain for about a year now and have had  ultrasound tests to to rule out obgyn problems (ovarian cysts) and hernia.  Just so happens at time I went to doctor I was suffering from a 2 cm ovarian cyst (have had these all my life) and told that was the problem.  However 4 weeks later had follow up US and told cyst was gone but my pain was still there.  I know what the pain form these cysts feel like and it was not that pain.  Then told that it is referred pain from my back problems, UM, WTH.  Told not hip because they picked up my leg and twisted it this way and that and tell me, no not arthritis......again WTH????  Sometimes I can twist a certain way in my chair at work and it feels like my like hip has come out of socket it hurts so bad.  Can someone please send me for a hip xray.

Chabba,

I do hear a lot of really dumb stuff, but I have to admit that most people have responded with grace and compassion. Generally, I have no complaints.

Frankly, the dumbest thing I've ever heard about being said to male breast cancer patients is "oh, it's rare. It's probably a cyst. Don't worry about it." Fortunately, none of my doctors ever said anything that stupid. 

Ok. This is STOOPID and you all have probably heard it before. I was told today that "God has a plan.." so I said "really ??? To give me breast cancer??? That is God's plan???" some people...

I was told that once from my MIL when my brother was killed in a car accident.....really, that was the plan for him.  I can't even tell you the extent of his injuries.  I just would not listen to her about "his reasons" and cursed "him" and told her to not waste her time preaching to me.  5 days later her brother died and then 6 months later she died.  I was lost for words and just too dumbfounded.  I have always been wondering if I have been cursed since then because of my harsh words.  I have had some pretty bad luck when it has come to my health throughout the years and now I have cancer.  It has been a test but I have always passed.  It's like the powers that be are saying, "ok I don't have a plan for you yet but I do want to play with you for a while."
