What's the worst insult that you've ever recieved? Recently I've found mine, and the worst part was, it was supposed to be a complement. How can you be mad a someone who was trying to be nice??? evil

Anyways, here it goes. I go to a private school, so we have to pay lots to get in. It's not a rich kid school though, it's a smart kid school, so don't get any ideas about me being some spoiled brat. Anyways, because we have to pay to get in, we get to do a lot more stuff. For instance, during the winter trimester (we have trimesters instead of semesters or quarters) we get to go off campus to have PE. For the first part, we go to the Valley (if you haven't heard of it, it's a fitness place) and for the second part, we get to chose where we go (bowling ally, rock climbing gym, swimming pool, etc.). My story just happens to take place at the Valley. At the Valley, we play random games with Rodney. Let me explain Rodney; Rodney is very competitive, he cheats, he's a sore loser, he does really cheap stuff when he's not cheating and he's supposed to coach our games, but he always joins in instead (joins the winning team that is). So you can imagine getting insulted by Rodney (though he wouldn't do it on purpose). What I'm sure you can't imagine, and certainly I didn't, is him attempting to give a complement and failing miserably.

Anyhoo.... I'm getting a bit distracted here.... sweatdrop So we were playing a game, and I'm not the most athletic person in the world, so I'm kinda pretending to be playing the game, and Rodney joins in. He notices my major lack of enthusiasm, so he decides, instead of him going through the trouble of going back to his office and getting his drink, I could. So he asks me to get his Monster (which confused me a little...) and tells me where it it. I go get his Monster and when I come back, (here's the good part, get ready! Are you ready? You don't look rea--Ok, ok, hmph, impatient....) he says "I don't care what anybody else says about you, you're awesome!" First of all, as far as I know, nobody talks about me behind my back (I'm not popular enough to be gossiped about, and I don't think any of the guys at my school are hot, so...) and second of all *freezes with mouth open and hand in the air, ready to pound on table or make dramatic gesture* and second, er, second, um.... Well I have another point, never doubt that I always have another point... always ready to be... pointful... that's me.... Ahem, like I was saying, i do have another point I just, um, don't want to tell you! That's it! Why would I want to tell you anyways? I can tell... myself! Or even better, my... my people! Yeah, like my posse! I so have a posse! Only...lame... people don't have posses... yeah so take that! ...Burn...
