I'm really surprised at people nowadays. We were in the line at mcdonalds and the 2 women behind us were clearly talking about my stepsister (who is 14 and going through her experimental stage) and her hair color (purple and black and orange) and just really saying some tacky and hurtful things.
I waited until they were sitting down and we moved over to the table next to theirs and I just commented really loud "can you believe that lady in the red shirt? " And started picking them both apart. They got up and moved! Before we left I stopped by their table and told them that they really should be more careful what they say because they never know what it will do to the person who hears. I then told them that my sister had just recently been in a psychiatric hospital for depression, that she is a self mutilator and had attempted suicide and that their words were not building her up, but tearing her down even further. (all that is true- I didn't make it up). They apologized to me and said they didn't know.
I am a speak your mind kind of person, but never at anyone else's expense and if I even think I hurt your feelings, I will come to you and apologize.
