throw me to the dogs of hell! (lonigsh)

[Binky]

But damn it let me explain!

OK, went to the shops after the gym with my friend D. We go to this place a lot after the gym to get a drink or food or just some general supplies.

As we walk in I overhear a guy go "hey, that's the chick, that's the chick" . I think nothing of it, and just casually mention it to D who gets a little upset. But we let it go.

We had to pass by the guy again to get some stuff and this time he says it again, but a little louder and D hears it. "that's the chick, THAT's THE CHICK".

D got really upset. She's a largish girl and very thingy about anyone making any comments about it. She didn't know for sure if it was in regards to her, but it was hard not to see it that way.

D got more and more upset about it, looked like she wanted to cry. We were talking about it, she wanted to make a complaint. I said to see if she can find him and just ask him about it. She wanted to find out his name, but we were both too scared to make a fuss. Neither of us knew if it was an insult or coinisidance.

In the end we just left. D rang me to say she rang and made a complaint.
Now she regrets it. The shop rang and mentioned that the guy in qustion didn't say anything, and a girl had "overheard us" talking about making a complaint/asking for his name.

So great! Now if I ever go there, they are all going to think it was me and give me stink eye! Well maybe I'm being paranoid. But it seems they knew who made the complaint!

So shit. Throw me to the dogs of hell! what the on earth do I do now! I didn't even expect D to complain. I thought she had dropped it when she got home. But yeah. F**K

[Evil Queen]

Any idea what the "That's the chick!" comment was about? Hey, maybe they were talking about how sexy she was.

(trying to see if I can make you/her feel better? is it working? )

[Binky]

thanx hun. I wish I knew, I mean, now I really wish we had stayed and asked the guy what he was on about. D has always been nice to him. But yeah. I'm just hoping that this isn't going to blow up in our faces!

[morgana]

If "that's the chick" is all that was said, I think your friend *seriously* overreacted.

I mean, you don't give any reason for her to be sure they were even talking about her. Was she the only girl in the place?

I'm a "largish girl" myself, like twice as much as I should weigh. I've been called Dumbo to my face before; *that's* the sort of remark that requires a complaint. My reaction to "that's the chick" would have been "wtf?" and get on with my life.

[Balgram]

Agreed. Overreacting or not, what's done is done.

Just keep going and act normal. If people give you the stink eye, they are the worse addicts to rumor. What do they know?

[Evil Queen]

...Or, when you two go there again one of you can go "That's the guy! That's the guy!" every time you walk past.

[rerant]

I'm wondering what the purpose of a complaint would be. I mean, unless the guy was an employee of that place there's not much a store can do because one customer thinks another customer is talking about them, especially considering nothing bad was actually said.
"That's the chick!" can be in regards to a myriad of things, and I'm on the "your friend was seriously overreating" side.

[candyshopgirl]

I know that after the gym I stink to high heaven.Maybe thats it maybe your friend just stunk one day really bad. I don't think that the jackass should be so obvious about it.

Personally, I feel that it's disrespectful to refer to a woman as a "chick".
