Don't be so tactless-lah....

I don’t understand why some people do this.

Haven’t they heard of sayings like “if you don’t have anything nice to say, better not say anything at all” or “some things are better left unsaid”?

Two things (amongst a few others) that I would never tell anyone:
1. Gosh, you look fatlah. Have you put on weight?
2. Oh my, that’s a big pimple you have on your face!

AND….I especially would not tell this to people I hardly know or rarely meet. Got no better topic to talk about, is it?

Come on la…the person is probably already uncomfortable/embarrassed with the situation/appearance, do you really need to rub it in? Do you actually have to make it so obvious?

It really doesn’t take much effort to be a bit more sensitive.

That's the thing I most admired in you. You always smile when there's nothing to say. A smile goes a thousand miles :)

Hi Trueblue,

You are absolutely right. If we have nothing to say, we are better off not saying anything lah! Lagi pahala!

And usually, these sort of people can't take the same kind of remarks themselves.
