Insults and Assholes *rant alert!*

[Kisa]

A couple of assholios decided to insult me. One today, one yesterday. First some quick B/G on me.

I'm around 20 years old. I have a good metabolism, get excercise at work, and carry my weight in my butt and thighs so I look skinnier than I actually am. If I gain 2 pounds, I look curvier as opposed to chubbier. I'm also a klutz. I have various cut scars and burn marks on my arms, most of which are not noticable. The only one REALLY noticable is a burn scar on the back of my left forearm (pics on my page). I also have a 5 month old shepard puppy and, if you know shepards and puppies, they LOVE to mouth on hands, arms and feet. *end B/G*

Asshole the First

She pulls up to the window, I greet her with a smile, she pulls out her credit card and hands it out the window. I grab onto it, but instead of letting go, she keeps a firm grip on it.

Me: Mam? Do you not want to use this card?

She ignores me, gaze fixed upon my hand, slowly looking up my arm until she meets my eyes.

AF: ....Take it. *lets go*

Ok....that was freaky. But whatever. She paid. Now I can give her her card and food and she can be on her merry way. Not so. While I'm handing her the bag, she places her hands in her lap and lookes are me sternly.

Me: What's wrong?
AF: Honey? Are you one of them cutters?
Me: I'm sorry?
AF: Are you a emo?
Me: Um...no.
AF: Then why do you got razor scars all up and down your arms?
Me: Huh? *looks down* OH! No, those aren't scars. :lol: I have a puppy and he likes mouthing my arms. Those are just red marks from his puppy teeth.
AF: Sure.... That's what ALLLL the cutter kids say. *reaches for the bag*

First, what other people do to their bodies is no business of yours. Second, it's rude to randomly accuse a stranger of self mutilation. Third, if I say the marks are from my puppy, you have no right to accuse me of lying. Especially when you have no proof. For the record, I do not, nor have I ever, hurt myself on purpose.

Asshole the Second

A guy in his late 30's approachedthe window. He seemed like any other less-than-polite-but-not-quite-rude customer. Until, that is, he said...

AS: Eat something.
Me: Pardon?
AS: I said stop starving yourself. It's disgusting!
Me: I'm sorry sir. I'm not sure I follow...
AS: Stop trying to play me. I know you're anorexic.
Me: I'm not anorexic :lol: I love food too much to stop eating!
AS: *yeah-right look*

What the hell ever dude. If you want to think I'm a 95lb anorexic, go ahead. I'm tired of arguing.

AS: I know all you teenagers wanna be twigs. You think it makes you pretty. Lemme tell you sumthin. You don't look pretty. You look nasty. Eat more. Barf less.

I think you're confusing your eating disorders there buddy. Yep. I'm a true anorexic. You can't see every bone in my body, I eat 6 times a day, I weigh 125lbs at 5'4", and.....oh wait......that's not what anorexic means!! And seriously? All teenagers are anorexic? Stereotype much? Nice lines too. Is that how you wooed your lady?

AS: Hey you ugly bitch, you look like dog shit today you nasty ho.
Lady: Oh you say the sweetest things love muffin!
AS: Whatever ugly skank.
Lady: :love: Marry me?

[EricKei]

AF: Sure.... That's what ALLLL the cutter kids say. *reaches for the bag*
Actually, the few ...uh..."cutter kids" I've met will come out and tell people exactly how they got the scars >_> Not that it's any of the SC's business anyway...

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

came home and found my dog tags sitting on a hot plate that was on (and there was no visible indication that it was on) and I picked it and twirled it around my finger as I am in the habit of doing.

Being hot I noticed it fairly quickly and I jumped. My act of moving caused the damn bead chain to wrap around my arm. This left a line of round scars running up my arm along my vein. Until those scars faded three years later I was singled out for drug test after drug test because they could not believe that I had been dumb enough to burn myself with blisteringly hot bead chain.

[Food Lady]

If you get insulted like that, can you tell the manager you refuse to serve the customer? 'Cause if I was your manager, I would back you up. Have done it, gotten written up for it, and would do it again. No one has a right to insult you and call you a liar. No one. I'm seething right now.

[BeenThereDoneThat]

:jawdrop: It doesn't really surprise me that people can be that nasty...but I still cringe every time I hear about it. They are definitely missing some vital part of their cerebral cortex. As for the scratches/scars, I've had some pretty nasty ones on my arms from my cat (teeth marks too)...I imagine most pet owners do at some point.

[mikoyan29]

At least they didn't accuse you of using drugs....

Sheesh as if it's any of their business anyway...

[Kisa]

They didn't even look like scars of any kind! They looked like bright red scratch marks, which is exactly what they were. She was old and I was too tired to bother doing anything about it (it was 1am). With the second guy, yeah he pissed me off :pissed: Sadly the only manager was Bitch. She hates everyone so she would have yelled at me ans scolded me for ruining the time and tattling on a customer :/

[Mr Hero]

I used to be a cutter. Until I found out I was supposed to only cut myself.

I will say that I don't think Kisa is anorexic. Skinny yes, even beautiful. But not anorexic.

[Canarr]

I will say that I don't think Kisa is anorexic. Skinny yes, even beautiful. But not anorexic.

Okay, I'll bite: This thread is worthless without pics! ;)

[Rawrk]

As a former self harmer myself, if anyone asks about my scars (which there are LOTS of) I will tell them straight out that I am ill and they are the result of my illness. Or something along those lines. I don't lie about it, it just makes it look...weird.

Accusing you of lying though? Some people just don't know when to quit :P

I'm sorry, but:

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Please tell me you got revenge on the person who did that (either intentionally or not).


Gods that must have hurt, and I can totally see that looking like a terrible junkie.


On the note of burn marks and cutters. Cooks apparently get this a lot, as it is fairly common to get a nice burn mark across the underside of your wrist when reaching into an oven a hundred times a day.

For that matter, so do people that work with animals. I always had scratches all around my arms from various sources when I worked with animals. That said, they are so obviously scratches and not cuts that it's just silly when people ask about them.

[HotelMinion]

AS: Hey you ugly bitch, you look like dog shit today you nasty ho.
Lady: Oh you say the sweetest things love muffin!
AS: Whatever ugly skank.
Lady: Marry me?
LOL I've actually had these couples come up to me! >_<
I bet that second asshole was just jealous! Reminds me of a few sucky CWs I used to have. I'm not skinny boones, but all they'd blab about was how skinny I was, and compared to them, I was!

[Kisa]

Okay, I'll bite: This thread is worthless without pics! ;)

Ok, ok :p I put a pic on my page. Its not the best quality but it's the only picture I have that shows my shape. Link here!!! (http://www.customerssuck.com/board/album.php?albumid=128&pictureid=678)

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

Oh, fuck's sake, you don't look at all like a twig. You look healthy. Not worrisome skinny, not overweight.

[Bunny the Veggie Slayer]

QFT

It's bad enough for that asswipe to say something like that to someone who's simply skinny. What kind of effect does he think it would have on an actual anorexic? About 10 years ago a 16 y.o girl started working with us. We all knew she had bulimia (small village syndrome). She was very introverted, while the rest of her family had quite forceful personalities, not in any bad way but they were all quite upfront about stuff. They were always at her with stuff like your second customer...

"You've got to eat... You'll kill yourself...". On and on. They were just trying to help her but really just adding more pressure and making things worse. It does have a happy ending, she eats and exercises Pretty healthily and works at a fitness centre. She's also more outgoing than she used to be (and looks absolutely stunning).

What started her recovery to some extent was working with us. When folk at work talked to her, it wasn't about her illness, it was about the great job she was doing. She was getting honest comiments and thanks from folk who had no reason to coddle or lie to her.

Sorry I'm waffling* (again). My point was going to be that any SC who started that with one of my staff would be pointedly handed off to a separate till for me to serve.

I got a tattoo on my left wrist because after an accident I had a venous cut down (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_cutdown) done there [only spot available at the time], and everybody kept thinking I tried to kill myself. I also get hell because I have a series of IV points and blood sticks that got graphite lubricant embedded in them, so I have series of little blackish blue dots on several veins. :rolleyes:

[MoonCat]

First of all, Kisa you're beautiful! Those customers were either idiots and/or jealous.

Second, WTF is up with people who make comments to complete strangers about their bodies? It's extremely rude and it's none of their business!

Oh, and I used to have a lot of scratches on my arms...most of them accidental...from my cats. No one ever accused me of cutting myself.

[Stryker One]

*Is it wrong to mention waffles in a post about eating disorders?

DAMN IT! Now I want some waffles.:)

[Mytical]

Kisa, whoever called you anorexic needs to learn what the word means. You may be 'petite', but anorexic..no. I suggest what somebody else has said..they were either jealous or off their meds (maybe too much meds instead?).

[BeenThereDoneThat]

You look great, Kisa...not anorexic at all. People are so weird...maybe they're just jealous because (like me) they've been eating too many donuts and can't fit into their pants anymore :p

[Kisa]

First of all, Kisa you're beautiful!

Awe thanks so much!

Kisa, whoever called you anorexic needs to learn what the word means. You may be 'petite', but anorexic..no.

Yeah lol I am a shortie :o 5'4" on the nose. I wish I could be just a tad bit taller (3 or so inches)
You look great, Kisa...not anorexic at all.

Thank yoouuuu! I eat like a horse (no idea where that saying came from XD) but I manage to stay skinny. At work, everyone will ask "hey Kisa, you hungry?" To which someone will say "she's always hungry"!!! I could never be anorexic. I'm a fat kid at heart :D

Btw, I did dig up a slightly better picture. The last one was kinda dark :/ Linky linky right heerrreeee------>Link (http://www.customerssuck.com/board/album.php?albumid=127&pictureid=676)

[Mytical]

*ahem* At the risk of Marmalady kicking my hind end all the way to Buffalo..I will echo everybody's opinion here. You are a beautiful woman. Still can't see where anybody would get Anorexic at..:shrug:

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Well, you're taller than me, I top out at 5'3" :)

[Mytical]

At a mere 6' I am feeling rather .. large at the moment :lol:. At least I am down to 240!

[protege]

As for the scratches/scars, I've had some pretty nasty ones on my arms from my cat (teeth marks too)...I imagine most pet owners do at some point.

I have a couple of nasty scars on my arms...all of which came from kitties. Sally left a long, deep scratch on my left arm the first night I had her. She was crying, I picked her up to soothe her, and she went nuts...sinking her claws into my arm :eek:

[Kisa]

Well, you're taller than me, I top out at 5'3" :)

*feels tall* :D
At a mere 6' I am feeling rather .. large at the moment :lol:. At least I am down to 240!

*feels short* :cry:

[BeenThereDoneThat]

LOL. My husband had been complaining (like he often does) that he couldn't find the instruction manual to *my* camera. I said I thought it was in the top cabinet of my desk, and sure enough, he found it there, behind some other stuff. He told me this on Thursday when I was off work and I said "it's not my fault I'm short" (the manual was on the top shelf) and he suddenly started dancing around and pointing at me and saying "Ha Ha, you're short, ha ha!" That man seriously needs to grow up...he'll be 46 next week!! :rolleyes:

[Kisa]

LOL. My husband had been complaining (like he often does) that he couldn't find the instruction manual to *my* camera. I said I thought it was in the top cabinet of my desk, and sure enough, he found it there, behind some other stuff.

This happens to me ALLLL the time! My dad is 6'7" and when he cleans the house, he puts things up high where I can't see them unless I'm on a chair :lol:

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Wow, 6'7" is impressive. Hubs is 6'1" and my stepson is 6'3", though the latter doesn't live here anymore.

[Bob The Random Boy Wonder]

This same thing from the first story happened to a cashier where I used to work and I overheard the whole thing, having been on the lane next to hers that day. She had cats at home that hadn't been declawed and her arms were scratched to pieces in such a way that you could mistake her for being a cutter if you didn't know she loved playing with her cats. We were all about 16-17 at the time, so she was of the age group where an adult-type could stereotype her into the whole "emo" thing. 'Cause, you know, to some people, if one 16-year-old is a cutter, they all must be cutters. :rolleyes:

I heard someone saying, in a hesitant voice, "Oh, honey, you obviously need the Lord Jesus. I'll...pray for you." I managed to turn around and see what was going on since I didn't hear the cashier say anything to get a response like that. It turns out she was reaching over the keyboard to hand a lady her change, and the lady had spotted all the cat scratches on the cashier's arm. Suffice it to say, by the way the lady said what she said, she had jumped to conclusions and passed my friend off as a cutter without even asking where the marks on her arm came from. It was really none of the lady's business in the first place, but at least it would've shown her first step wasn't "stereotype an innocent cashier based on her looks and age group"! The "stereotype first, get the facts later" kind really makes me sick.

As for the second story, I just have one thing to say: Kisa, don't let anyone tell you anything but "you are beautiful." Any guy who dares to bash a girl by accusing her of being anorexic or bashing her looks in general deserves to have his man card revoked. And I say this as a guy--one who is, give or take, your age. People think chivalry is dead because of guys like that. Sad...:no:

[blas]

I'm an inch shorter than the OP, and I weigh about 150, and I'm shaped like Kim Kardashian, but more muscular.

I wish people would lay off the boob and butt comments.

[Marmalady]

At the risk of Marmalady kicking my hind end all the way to Buffalo..I will echo everybody's opinion here. You are a beautiful woman.

Yes she is. You got no kicks coming from me :love:

[Sunshine]

i'm built like blas...people always ask my bra size! :-O...i think kisa is quite pretty :)

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

I'm sorry, but:

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Please tell me you got revenge on the person who did that (either intentionally or not).

One of my endearing traits is after the pain has subsided I have the ability to laugh at my own pain.

Usually because many of my misfortune is hilarious in retrospect. My mother is deathly afraid that she'll read about my death on Fark.com with a "Dumbass" tag next to the headline.

As for revenge? There was no one to get revenge on. I was living alone at the time, the hot plate was one of those candle warmers and the bead chain was on the shelf above the hotplate and fell.

So either something shook the house (not difficult to do since a cow farting the next county over could rattle the china) or the underpants gnomes were on the prowl again.

[BeenThereDoneThat]

<offtopic> I love that your mom reads Fark.com. </offtopic>

[Canarr]

Ok, ok :p I put a pic on my page.

Ohhh, very nice! :) Put me down in the "very pretty column", too.

But, uh: yeah, you're small. ;)

[chainedbarista]

i agree with everyone, kisa; you are height/wt proportional and look fabulous. don't ever let anyone say otherwise.

as a former cutter, i can say that there is a huge difference between regular scratches and deliberate cuts...the woman has no idea what she's blabbering about.

guy in the 2nd; if you don't know what it is, don't COMMENT about it, period. as for the verbal abuser, have fun being a bachelor for the rest of your life, loser. :lol:

[mharbourgirl]

Hah! Female human (that's as charitable as I can be) who doesn't recognize puppy teeth marks when she sees 'em but DOES have a distinct 'hero complex' so interprets the marks as what she needs them to be in order to 'rescue' you from yourself. :rolleyes:

Next time that happens, honey, laugh. Laugh as if you were about to wet yourself at the idea. People like this get REALLY offended when you deny them the opportunity to feel like a hero, but that's all they deserve. It's one thing to be genuinely concerned for someone, but it's quite different when that concern is a mask for obnoxiously controlling behaviour. :p

Me, I'd have been asking if you had any pics on you and probably holding up the line because I go simple in the head at merely the IDEA of puppies and I know very well how rough puppies play. :D

[Miss Maple Leaf]

Kisa, don't let that asshat get to you. Like other have already said here, you're beautiful. I don't know what that guy was smoking that day to think you were anorexic.

And the woman in the drive through obviously never had any pets of her own if she couldn't recognize the marks on your arms for what they were. Hell, my dad has two dogs of his own, and if he doesn't keep their claws trimmed the claws could count as deadly weapons. :lol:

My mother is deathly afraid that she'll read about my death on Fark.com with a "Dumbass" tag next to the headline.

:lol: Sorry, but that is hilarious!

Tadahhhh!!! The (teething) puppy in question :love: Look at that punky face!!

D'awwww who's a good puppy? Who's a good puppy?? YOU ARE! :love:Whodowoobadoo shmushy shmushy!! :kiss:

...

ahem. :o

[42_42_42]

Anyone who works in a kitchen or even cooks a lot at home is going to have random cut and burn marks on their hands and arms. I'm rather proud of my burn scars, actually. I consider them advertisement for all the time I spend in the kitchen!

[Kisa]

D'awwww who's a good puppy? Who's a good puppy?? YOU ARE! :love:Whodowoobadoo shmushy shmushy!! :kiss:

...
...
...
ahem. :o

Don't you just love the look on his face XD

[Elspeth]

Am I the only one seeing the look on that cute puppy that says "you are going to have so much trouble with me, but you love me"

I believe that is the look of pure evil. EBIL I say!!!

I just want to hug it!! and love it!!! and steal it *tries to run away with a puppy*

[XCashier]

Don't you just love the look on his face XD
I love those big satellite dish ears! :love:

My reaction exactly.

Puppy!

[Teefies2]

Tadahhhh!!! The (teething) puppy in question :love: Look at that punky face!!

So CUTE! And definately looks "evil" as well ;)

[Kisa]

Here's some eviler ones ;) Punky playing in Mama's laundry and Punky sleeping in Mama's laundry.

[tropicsgoddess]

Man, some people are just plain IGNANT (ignorant is too good of a term for them)! They sure don't know that assume = ASS U ME. :no:

[Miss Maple Leaf]

Kisa, your dog is just precious! :love:

Aww, I just wanna rub his belly and scratch behind his ears. :D

[chainedbarista]

ooh i love teh babies; he has a very smug look on his face: "i know you love me, you know you love me, so get with the treats!"

[Mr Hero]

I also want to rub the belly and scratch behind the ears. And after I'm done doing that, I want to pet Kisa's dog.

[Sapphire Silk]

Tadahhhh!!! The (teething) puppy in question :love: Look at that punky face!!

PUPPY!

Uh oh. Taz is looking at me rather indignantly.

I used to have a lot of scratch marks on my arms from Stumps (all healed now, alas).

One of my students looked at my arm one day and said, "You have a cat, don't you?" :lol:

[Becks]

Kisa, you're pretty.

And if it makes you feel better about your height, I'm 5' 1 1/2". :D

[munchkinmama]

Ha i can make probably all of you feel tall. I am 4ft 10.5in tall (or short as the case may be :) ).

[Geek King]

Kisa, you look like quite the lovely lady. Ignore the foolish that say otherwise.

...And remember, you're not short, you're fun-sized.

Sez the 6'4" goon-ish looking fellow. :lol:

[Kisa]

...And remember, you're not short, you're fun-sized.


I actually have a shirt that says that :lol: I got tired of all my friends calling me "shorty", "munchkin" and "short stuff" so I got that shirt....it did nothing :/
Sez the 6'4" goon-ish looking fellow. :lol:

All the males in my family are 6'5"+ goonish looking fellows. I've become so used to it, I now cannot date men as short or shorter then me. Yes, I feel shallow for it. No, I can't help it :cry:

[bhskittykatt]

Kisa, you look very healthy. That guy's just a jerk.

One of my classmates donates plasma, so he has a lot of marks from that. Whenever he crosses the border, he says they always search his car and accuse him of being a druggie!

Not quite the same, but...once, my friend had taken her kid step-sister to the park. She was sitting on a bench, and a woman came out of nowhere and sat down and started lecturing her about teen pregnancy and how she should be ashamed! My friend explained it was her sister, not her daughter, and told that woman that either way she needed to mind her own damn business. I guess that woman turned ten shades of red and scurried out of there.

If you don't know the story, don't make assumptions! And mind your own business!

Heheh. I got similar tsk-ing once at Walmart when walking around with my baby sister. We're nine years apart, for the record. At the time, I was about sixteen, putting her at age 7 or so. She was still super-skinny then, and once I filled out around age 14, I started looking a few years older than I really was, so apparently it looked like I was her mother rather than her older sister. No one directly confronted me about it, but I did overhear one lady making disapproving noises about it.

That is, until we approached my mother, who did look her age (albeit shorter than my near-6'), and the lady turned red and scurried the other way. :rolleyes:

This one happened to me. I have a 4 year old brother who I took to the pool one day. (he was 3 at the time) This woman came up to me and asked "How old is your son? He's so cute!" :wtf:
"Umm....he's my brother"....
