You look tired...

Who in their right mind tells someone they look tired/exhausted/worn out?  That is not even a subtle way of saying "You look bad".  I work with a nurse who is a big fan of telling me this, every time I see her.  I feel like I work with her all the time and I hate it, cause either she a) tells me I look tired/exhausted/worn out, or b) looks me up and down and I know even if she is not saying it she is thinking it.  Well she happens to look like a Halibut with a receding hairline but you don't see me telling her that.  After the first 3 or 4 times she told me this I finally told her it was not very nice of her and it was a poorly disguised way of saying I looked awful.  After an awkward silence she wandered off, and now it doesn't happen nearly as frequently but it still annoys me every time I see her.  It is poorly disguised passive-aggressiveness.  Did she never see Bambi?  If you can't say anything nice keep yo damn mouth shut was a lesson from that movie if I remember correctly...  Or at least something along those lines...
