rofl she was a bitch, but hey, op's dumb idea for picking posture to comliment them on. My mom has rods in her back, but she's so big it's hard to tell if shes slouching or sitting straight. I give op the official "epic win/fail" stamp :)

Who compliments on someone's posture?? xD

I have them too, but i don't flaunt that shit! i just say thank you like uhmm a normal person.

agreed that was a bit uncalled for

"well **** you too then." *walks away*

I have rods in my back too and when someone notices my posture, I usually laugh and say something like "yea, that's because I have rods in my back" or something like that. I'm never bothered by people noticing though and I don't mean to make them feel bad but I'm comfortable with the fact that they're there and it seems like the best response to me. Maybe this person thinks the same way? Not really an FML unless they said it with malice but even then maybe they're unhappy with the rods and don't like them being brought up?

as you do.

In her defense, who randomly compliments strangers posture? On the other hand, a bitch reaction.

Awkward...!

so it's a steel rod... still has good posture
