35+ Savage Grandmas Who Have Zero Filter

Grandma tends to say that you are her favorite grandchild. But depending on what type of grandma she is, that can change pretty quickly, and with very little warning. Sometimes, the thing that changes your status in her eyes is something petty.

In this case, it ends up being something as simple as a piercing. If that’s all it takes for your status as favorite to change, then it’s pretty certain that there was a problem in the selection criteria to begin with, don’t you think?

Imagine that you aren’t even the one who did something to be judged, yet your grandma still has something cruel to say about you. That’s just messed up. The least she could do is wait until you do something yourself before making such comments.

Of course, you can’t expect rude and cruel people like that to actually be reasonable or rational. If you could, we wouldn’t have so many stories on this list to begin with, now would we? And of course, we aren’t even halfway there, so it gets worse!

This grandma’s lack of a filter didn’t lead to her saying something mean, but it did lead to something very inappropriate to say. At the very least, it was probably something that no one really wanted to hear from her anyway.

Even in private, that’s one of those things you probably don’t want to hear from your grandma of all people. It really ruins the pristine image that most grandmas are supposed to have, though they probably don’t always care about that.

Speaking of things you don’t want to hear from your dear sweet grandma that much, pretty much anything about how often they get down in the past or the present. No one wants to know how frequently you get busy, grandma!

Well, some people might just find it funny, while others may find it mortifying. It’s just the type of thing that some people tend to say when they no longer care what others may think, which is usually what happens when you hit a certain age.

For some reason, appearance is the thing that bothers mean grandmas the most. They tend to be very straightforward about their negative feelings when it comes to stuff like that. Why, we’re not exactly sure. Maybe it’s just an easy thing to criticize.

The worst part is, they are always needlessly passive-aggressive about it. We’re not sure if that’s actually better or worse as far as insults about appearances go. We’re certain that some people would find it more irritating than others.

When you break a chair, it’s usually because the chair just didn’t have much more to give, as far as the chair is concerned. It’s rarely because the person sitting in it is too heavy. But do you really expect a rude grandma to acknowledge that?

No, they’d much rather just insult you or your friend for some reason. Maybe they have a lot more fun doing it that way, even though it would be mortifying for you to have your friend insulted by your grandma like that.

Grandmas really like to do this thing where they don’t filter what they think about appearances. Whether it’s you or even someone they don’t actually now, they have this weird tendency to say whatever they are thinking about someone.

It’s kind of rude, to say the least, especially when they have something to say about a friend of yours. The least they could do is not say such things about someone they don’t even know, but that never seems to occur to such grandmas.

When you have something to say about a mean grandma, she almost always has some way of turning things against you. Usually, it’s something petty that doesn’t really have anything to do with the thing that was being discussed in the first place.

Mean grandmas are really good at that, probably because there’s a lot of things to complain about, so they often have to defend themselves. Or maybe deflecting the issue like that is just the easiest way to take care of the criticisms at hand.

You would think Grandma of all people would be the one who wants you to feel the best about yourself, and thus only says kind things about you. This grandma is clearly not that type of person, calling attention to things no one would appreciate.

Needless to say, this probably didn’t do anything good for her granddaughter’s mood. We can’t help but hope she said something snappy and snarky in return. It would be only fair at that point, right? We certainly think so.

A good grandma should always support the dreams of her grandkids. Unfortunately, they don’t always. In fact, there are some grandmas out there who will shoot down a kid’s dreams right away, with no regrets whatsoever. How terrible.

We hope the kid in question at least managed to ignore that negativity and keep their dream going. Although, assuming that they are posting this on Reddit, they probably didn’t go on to be an astronaut. Still, hopefully not because of their grandma.

If you haven’t seen your grandma in a long time, you might expect her to say something nice about you, but that doesn’t happen when it comes to this grandma. In fact, it’s quite the opposite with this lady. Needless to say, that’s pretty darn rude.

We’re glad most grandmas actually seem to be nice, but there’s no denying that ones like this exist out there as well, which is quite a problem for a lot of people. Would it kill them to be a little nicer every once in a while?

Grandmas have years of experience on this earth. So we shouldn’t actually be surprised that they have a lot of fancy and well-thought-out insults under their belts, even if a lot of those insults are… pretty dirty. This one in particular.

Well, kudos to having such an insult ready to go, but we’d prefer to think that grandmas don’t have such scandalous things to say to other people. Really doesn’t do any favors for their image in our eyes, if you catch our drift.

Grandmas that have things to say about your appearance often try to word it like they want to help you, like their intent is to make you better somehow. This is a façade that they hide behind in order to try and justify their rude actions.

Of course, it never actually works, but that doesn’t stop them from trying at the best of times. We’d prefer if they were at least honest about it, since it’s more respectable that way to some extent. Well, maybe even that is asking too much.

When you’re married for a long time, you start getting some funny ideas about your loved one, especially on those days where they get on your nerves. Threats of a sudden demise get thrown around a lot in old marriages: but this one is uncanny.

Maybe it’s because she’s not exactly wrong, or because it would actually be a pretty hard crime to pin on her. But of course, we’re fairly certain this is just a joke on her part. Or at the very least, we certainly hope so. No need to worry, right?

If you are going to hear the final words of a loved one, you would expect those words to be something affectionate or loving. Well, that’s apparently not the case with this grandma. In fact, she didn’t have anything nice to say at all, even at a time like this.

Seriously, what kind of grandma wants her final words to family members to be an insult of some sort? That doesn’t really seem like something we would want to go out on. But we can only speak for ourselves. Maybe she was never fond of her family.

Even the nicest grandmas have a tendency to complain about a lack of great-grandkids, or about how long it takes for their grandkids to get married to someone. Of course, if you have a less kind grandma, this still happens, it’s just more irritating.

Apparently, there’s just some things you can’t escape from when it comes to family. Nice or cruel, there are some lines they always have to say, which is in and of itself quite frustrating, when you think about it. Can’t they stop that part?

Getting a card from your grandma? Hoping it says something kind and uplifting on it? Well, not if your grandma is like this one. In fact, you’ll get nothing but disappointment. Needless to say, criticisms about you making people proud is pretty annoying.

It’s definitely not what you would expect from a holiday card from any normal grandma. But then again, some grandmas just aren’t that nice. For every nice grandma, there’s probably an equally nasty one out there somewhere.

When you’re a kid, you’re usually not that good at most things. However, most people still congratulate you for trying things, because it’s not a kid’s fault that they haven’t had a lot of experience yet. This grandma apparently didn’t care about that.

Which, of course, makes her a terrible grandma. What kind of grandma doesn’t praise a kid for their best efforts? Only an awful one. We hope the rest of the family defended the poor kid instead of just sitting there and letting her say that.

One thing that’s true about mean grandmas is that they have no desire to hide their opinions. They certainly aren’t going to wait for you to be out of earshot. They just aren’t that type of people, which would certainly be asking for too much anyway.

That’s why they would say something rude to you right to your face, with no concern for how you might feel or how terrible of a person it would make them seem. After all, why should they care, right? But hey, at least you can insult them back.

Some grandmas have no filters, but that doesn’t mean they are particularly mean. Sometimes, they just don’t comprehend how weird some of the things they say are. This grandma is one such example, with some very weird notions about the full moon.

We’re not sure what on Earth was wrong with this granny or why she likes the moon so much, but we suppose everyone is entitled to like what they like. Howling for an uncomfortable period of time is probably a different matter entirely, however.

Sometimes a mean grandma is a little more roundabout in how they insult you: but not by much. This one just chose to be a little secondhand about it, which is still pretty impressive, as these types of people usually just insult you to your face!

Well, not everyone is made the same, but it’s still kind of rude to insult people when they have just had a kid. It’s supposed to be a moment of celebration, and comments like that are clearly uncalled for. Well, you can’t control some people.

Some grandmas know how to be slightly more subtle than their counterparts when they are insulting people. But once again, not by much. This grandma did the usual bit of making a slight about one’s weight, and it would be kind of hard to miss.

Of course, the person she made this comment to didn’t miss it, but she probably didn’t say anything back either, which she definitely should have. Remember, if they don’t respect you, you don’t have to respect them! It’s only fair.

We’re not going to say that people aren’t entitled to their opinions, but most people at least know how to keep those opinions to themselves in a polite way. The ones that don’t are people like this one, who just insult you to your face with no remorse.

Not to mention, this is another example involving a piercing. What is it with some grandmas and being so against small things like that? Is it really important enough to insult a member of your family like that? Some people are just rude.

When under the influence of drugs often used in surgery, people tend to say things that they normally wouldn’t under regular circumstances. This grandma is one of them, but we can’t really blame her for losing her filter in this scenario.

Of course, the fact remains that she was probably thinking this at the very least in the back of her mind. We suppose one could be upset about that, at the very least. But you can’t hold it against her for saying it, at any rate.

Not having a filter often means that you say things regardless of who is actually around you. You say things like how you prefer grandsons to granddaughters, even when your one granddaughter is standing right there. Way to go, grandma.

Of course, considering that she said that, she probably doesn’t care that much about hurting anyone’s feelings. No one who does is that unaware of the people around them. That just goes without saying, when you think about it.

This is a rarity on this list because the grandma in question really did not intend to say anything bad. In fact, it’s obvious that her intention was good. Unfortunately, it just didn’t come across the right way. Perhaps that too had something to do with drugs.

Really, it’s kind of scary how much certain drugs can affect your ability to say what you mean and only what you want. Just be ready for some secrets to be spilled if you are under the influence of such drugs yourself. Just to be safe.

Not having a filter means a grandma can say some things you don’t really want to hear from her. It’s not that it’s rude, it’s just that it’s the kind of thing nobody needs to really hear. Especially not her family that probably has a certain image of her.

Even worse, this is something she felt like saying when she was going to be leaving everyone soon, so she kind of left them on this note, which is kind of weird when you consider the memories you would want to be fresh in your family’s minds.

Weddings are supposed to be a place where it’s all happiness and love, but it rarely actually is. Lots of people have rude things to say while they are at weddings, either directly to the people getting married or to the guests.

It’s probably just that public gatherings tend to be a hotbed for gossip, so people are bound to say some things that are less than encouraging to someone or other. It’s really just something that happens more frequently than it should.

Going for shock factor is a different type of filter, or lack thereof. Some grandmas aren’t trying to be rude, they are just trying to have a good laugh. Actually, this grandma probably does have a filter, and she just wanted to have a little fun.

Still, we’re sure a lot of people would prefer if she didn’t do that, since it could reflect on them to a degree. Well, maybe she actually told the truth after she was done getting her kicks out of a silly statement. At least, we hope she did.

Sharing their opinions is just what rude grandmas do. That’s how they get their kicks, most likely. Thing is, they always find a way to make it sound better than it actually is. They’re pretty good at doing that, which is perhaps the most annoying thing about it.

No offense grandma, but nobody asked you what you opinion on my hair is! The person I’m trying to impress isn’t you, for obvious reasons! We’re just saying, grandmas really need to learn to keep their bad opinions to themselves.

Admittedly, when it comes to fighting for the title of favorite within a family, people are willing to say and do things that are a little uncouth. At least, they tend to do it when only one person is listening. This grandma said such a thing, though she wasn’t exactly wrong.

Still, this is probably something one shouldn’t say to their young family members, because it’s a little crass if nothing else. But she did have a point, there’s no denying that. She should be the de facto favorite at this point, right?

Did grandma think you were a cute kid? Well, this one apparently didn’t as far as her grandkid was concerned. Straight up, she just told them that they were never cute at all. Well, they say honesty is the best policy, but is it really?

In this case, it probably wasn’t necessary at all. She could have just kept that to herself for her whole life, if she really cared about having a filter. But hey, that’s not the point of this article, now is it?

A lack of filter means your grandma is going to insult you more than praise you. After all, if she is going to speak her mind, it’s probably going to be bad things more often than good things, because most people have more bad thoughts than good thoughts.

Maybe that’s an overgeneralization of sorts, but either way, people with no filters tend to say more bad things than good things. We’re not sure why that is. Grandmas in particular seem to have even more rude things to say than others do.

As our life goes on, our friends come and go, and for a variety of reasons. We lose touch with our high school friends because we all part ways to different colleges. We lose friends who relocate to other cities. The list goes on and on and on.

But when you are in your 80s, you start to lose friends permanently. This is one of the more serious stories on this list. However, we can’t help but laugh at this grandma’s bluntness, putting her granddaughter’s comment into perspective.

Most people like Frank Sinatra, but that’s not to say that everyone does. On the contrary, some grandmas really dislike him, apparently. Why, we have no idea. Is it the being trained by the mob thing? Or does she just really dislike his voice?

We can’t speak for her of course, but we suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Still, one should at least try to be a little less rude about their distaste. It’s enough to say that you dislike someone, isn’t it?
