The absolute worst thing to say to a woman

IT’s something that many of you may have discovered the hard way.

(NEWS.COM.AU) If there’s one way to make a woman feel fat, it’s asking them when their baby is due when they’re not pregnant. Now the phrase “When’s the baby due?” has been voted the worst possible thing you can say to a woman in a poll.

A quarter of 500 females polled named it as their pet hate – and said a surprising number of men still think it an acceptable question to ask. In second place of annoying phrases was: “Yes, your bum looks big”, with 17 per cent saying it should be avoided at all costs even if true.

Meanwhile, 13 per cent said they could not stand their partners saying, “You look tired” and 12 per cent resented the phrase, “Calm down dear”. Next on the list of annoyances was a man asking “Will you need a hand parking that, luv?” followed by, “You look more like your mother every day”.

Some of those polled by leisure website Paintballing.co.uk also said they could not stand being told “I told you so”.
