Fatty! You need to lose some weight. >:O
Okay, I went shopping yesterday with my friend... she tried on some clothes, maybe a size too small and the sales lady said: "Don't you think you need to lose some weight?" HOW RUDE! I know my friend is a little overweight... BUT HOW RUDE WAS THAT?! People are always telling her that she needs to lose some weight... even strangers on the streets. I mean, have you've ever experience anything like that from strangers?
I'd take that as a sign.Originally Posted by Chris
i thought that the point of sales ladies was to try and sell things to people. So what did you and your friend do to the sales lady.
But it's so rude... strangers practically calling her fatty, fat, fat right to her face.
I hate it when things like this happen...
Nope.
They are all concerned. Being fat is bad and it increases her chances of all sorts of lovely diseases and conditions. Like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Perhaps she should finally heed these people; not just because of how she may look to others but the health implications of being a fatty.
But yeah it was rude I guess but I have heard ruder, like when a drunken fat guy was trying to hit on my best friend and he just said "Hi, please don't eat me fatty," then the guy buggered off, no doubt to go eat some cake or oat meal.
Or drink some slimfast...
Sheesh how is her being fat inconvieniencing anyone but herself. How does the sales rep think she feels. Where does she get off saying something like that to her. Its none of her business how fat she is and theres nothing wrong with it besides it being unhealthy.
Obesity is contagious.
Or at least that is what she thinks, she is a sales rep. she probably only knows numbers up to 18 and the letters S, M and L.
How does it affect me? ...
My health care premiums go up because more obese people mean more insurance claims because they're seeing doctors and in the hospital more often.
My plane tickets have gone up in price because the average weight of a plane has gone up 10% in the last 15 years because of more people being obese and a heavier plane means more gas consumption and higher ticket prices.
My taxes go up because I have to support people being obese on government health programs.
... just to list a couple

Just fight them.
I've told her that she should lose some weight, but I do it in calm and concerned way. Not: LISTEN YOU FATTY COW LOSE SOME WEIGHT OR DIE."
Part of the problem is that a lot of people are "morbidly obese" today, rather then "slightly obese" as of 15 or so years ago. When people can't even walk up a flight of stairs or support their own body weight they really need to do something about their weight.
That and the fact that there are a lot of commercials on tv now (at least in the US) that claim "It's not your fault that you're fat, blah blah blah" and try to push pills. Most people don't try exercise or a healthy diet, or make a very poor attempt at it and these commercials prey on them and lead to unhealthy thoughts like "Yeah, it's not my fault, I did try walking five minutes three times a week and I didn't lose weight. It's not my fault!"
But that is true, she may die earlier because of it. Or one day she may run out of food and eat herself.
Perhaps we should have a petition to make her loose weight.
And thats why your a good person, chris. A lot of people get straight to the point in a loud as voice. True friends would do what you did...
