Twice
It has happened to me twice. Once in the eighth grade I was standing in line for lunch. The guy in front of me turned around and looked at me.

"Damn, you're ugly."

And that was it. His name was Earl Brown. He will not be forgotten.

The second time I was in college, minding my own business. I was walking to class and I used to pass this same dude a lot of the time. I had no classes with him, had never spoken to him, had no idea who he was.

Once, when I was passing him he said,

"You are so ugly."

Out of the blue. The funny part was, he was pretty hard on the eyes himself. I never figured that one out.
