What Sarah Millican's Dad Said When She Wore a Dress | Outsider | Universal Comedy

[@gmbiasco]

"safe to assume he's already dead....hurray!" I love her

[@adavelaar]

Best freaking answer after that woman was showing off how good her life has been. This was not about getting in touch, this was about look at me and my life.

[@renfriliddell8551]

*slow clap* cheers for the clarity

[@mauricehaaij]

I don’t think it was just that. It was also trying to make it so she could say to everyone I’m friends with a celebrity

[@blatherskite9601]

Dara O'Brien had a good one - "Well, I guess that's the life when you work in a travelling circus!"

[@elinek5470]

I even think it was because she was so jealous about Sarah being actually famous, that she felt the need to brag about her traveling life so she did not have to deal with how insecure Sarah makes her feel 😅

[@HLBear]

Masterclass in handling a bully. Well done.

[@KristopherNoronha]

unfortunately most bullies don't even realize or remember remember that they were bullies. I've gotten back in touch with my school batchmates on a WhatsApp group, and none of the bullies acknowledge or even act like they were aware of the effect they had. they usually say "don't all boys play like that?" or something to that effect.

[@DrJudyASmith]

@@KristopherNoronha Yeah, a bully of mine “friended” me on FB and not too long after, when she was going on and on about how much fun recess was, I reminded her that, in second grade, she had thrown a rock at me while I was on the swings, and broke my glasses. She immediately blocked me! 😂

[@teresabernal379]

I like the fact that she was telling this story, I saw it like this: her bully don't get the chance to give a shitty version of "I was in school with Sarah and now that she's famous she doesn't remember her classmates" Oh no she remembers but "not so favorly" EPIC

[@Fyreflier]

also ruined that "street cred" the bully has with her sons lol

[@butiliketacos]

My worst bully and I made amends and friends after I shared this clip. He's a decent person these days and has daughters of his own who've been bullied. I encouraged him to look back on our youth to see if those lessons can help his daughters.

[@nonMuggle]

Good for you both for sending the clip and for the answer you gave him about his own daughters. Well done.

[@kathilisi3019]

I was bullied throughout school, but my worst bully apologized before the final exams and admitted that she had been petty and unfair, which made a surprising amount of difference in how I think back to my school days now.

[@kartos.]

Facebook brought out a lot of former bullies to try and friend me and it still is mind boggling how people cannot remember being absolutely evil to others.

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

I was terribly bullied and ridiculed in school and by one of my siblings because I had a quite obvious physical impairment, a birth injury (Urb’s Palsy) resulting in my right arm being paralyzed. Never told my Mom about any of it. That wasn’t the childhood code, to tell. By the time medicine caught up with my issue, I was 8. A wonderful paediatric surgeon had perfected a surgical procedure that could help me. I was the 5th Canadian child to have the operation, and the 3rd success. I went on to a wonderful career as an ER nurse in Canada’s largest teaching hospital, had two wonderful kids, and have no idea where my tormentors are now. My self esteem is still and always will be 💩! If I had an email address to write to them, I’m afraid my comments would be less eloquent than yours! I’m so proud of you, Sarah! You took adversity and turned it into laughter. At work I was worthwhile. Outside of that, I deemed myself worthless. Unfortunately, this mind set is hard wired in my brain after 60+ years. Keep being you! You’re one of the few comedians who can make me laugh. I’d come to your show if you ever tour Canada. Just to say thanks for the laughter in person. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@DrJudyASmith]

I wish that I could apologize on behalf of your bullies. I wish that I could have offered you some support at a time when children weren’t supposed to “tell.” Brava to you with what you’ve done with your life. Maybe write a letter to yourself? Treat yourself to a special event? Can you share with your children, spouse, or mother? I hope that you enjoy the fruits of your work even more fully.

[@Momcat_maggiefelinefan]

@@DrJudyASmith Thanks for the kind words. My kids are adults and I’m a grandma. Just turned 70. My kids know the gory details. My grandkids are 11 and 6 and their mother, my youngest, is very good at teaching them the right way to treat others and not bully. It was my visible disability that tempted the bullies, and my mom only found out because I got the mumps and was talking in a fevered haze. I gather a few parents got called though. Kids don’t tell. I’m retired now, have endured 11 major spinal fusions in 5 years, due to bad genes, and ended up forcibly retired at 48. Sure didn’t encourage my self esteem, as my job was my identity. It was a long hard road to recovery from the surgeries, but I left Toronto, bought a house in a small agricultural town, and live with a cat. My emotional support kitty, Floozie hears it all and is non-judgemental. I’m content with my situation, have great a support network and loyal friends. My lot in life, such as it is, but it’s mine.

[@DrJudyASmith]

@@Momcat_maggiefelinefan I’m not far behind you, at 64. I certainly wish you, and Floozie, all the best!

Fortunately I find social media influencers who have been where we are. Anita Moorjani is a great resource. But Sarah Millican helps us laugh about our journey.

[@matthewharris-levesque5809]

[@JCAM-z9r]

@@sophieandwayne That’s terrible. Praying for all us folks who are fighting back.

[@docsmellyfella]

When I was bullied as a kid my usual response was a right hook which usually quickly solved the problem. Psychological bullying in the workplace is far harder to deal with. Having been in the situation in the workplace I suggest documenting every incidence and saving any emails and when you believe you have enough evidence go to HR. You can alternatively use it as evidence for a constructive dismissal in an industrial tribunal. I am very protective of my staff and am generally quite well liked and not prone to going off on a rant, particularly in relation to staff below me in the organisation as I believe it is unproductive. I will however happily go and tear a strip of other managers if I feel they are bullying my staff as when confronted by someone on a similar level in the organisation who is usually quiet and is obviously angry at their behaviour they tend to pull back a bit.

"Buy my own insult" now that is one heck of a slick move on the bully's part but Sarah's reply is perfect. We did the career thing and mine came out that I ought to be a nurse or an actress. That is sort of like both ends of a spectrum as nursing is often selfless and acting is often selfish. I did get a friend to nearly do a Niagara Nose (when you laugh and what you drink comes out of the nose) when I said "I guess the nursing will come in handy when carrying for the kids and the acting will be good enough to fool the husband when I fake it."

I once facebooked messaged my bully because I thought it would give me some closure and in a funny sort of way I wanted to make sure she was okay. Instead it was awkward and in retrospect I think I was looking for an apology.
