Am I wearing a sign that says "Please mock my weight?" & other grocery store sights!!

[ditchdj]

I is 6'3" at only 140lbs

You just described my build when I was younger!

From when I was 18 to when I was about 27 that's what my weight and height was. Now that I'm getting older I'm up to 222lbs. My wife recently said that when she first saw me she wondered if I had a disease.

Lupo. You know me. If I was with you I would have eaten that last and FIRST woman ALIVE.



No one picks on my friends but me!

URGGG!! Cart lady just makes me mad. I would have shown sooo much less restraint than you. I would not have stepped outo f her way upon finishing my transaction and she would have gotten much more than a sinlge finger from myself. Grrr, Im literally angry and frustrated over the way she treated you.

Maybe Karma will get'r good and ram a cart or two up her keister over the long haul

You said it. I didn't. Just in case she feels like going after someone for making a reference to shortness. All on the record now.

Yeah but the thing about my wife is that she has a really bad leg from when it was shattered in a car accident when she was in high school. It has a metal rod in it and she can't walk on it for a long time. Sometimes when air pressure goes down when a storm is coming it will swell and become very painful for her to even stand on it. It was after the accident when she was bed-ridden for six months when she gained all her weight. I'm sure she could get disability but she works full-time and doesn't want it. She actually doesn't want to sit around all day and collect a handout. But she may one day be forced to because the doctor said her leg is basically aging twice as fast as the rest of her because of her injury.

ive been the same situation since birth, many many rods, braces. First surgery at about 6 months old.

Thanks guys! Broom, I'm going to chew on you when you're not looking.

Gotta find me first.

It's one thing for complete strangers, they're just assholes. But family?! Oooh, that's just not right!

My brother just loves to give certain people (aka me) shit about our slight "spare tires." Hey, it's not my fault I'm only 5'9" and currently around 200. Sitting on my ass 9 hours a day will do that. Plus, it hasn't helped that my metabolism has slowed down a bit the past few years

But, at least I can get even. I can always ask him how his unemployment is going

A close friend of mine is 6'7" and fairly narrow in the hips. He's been that way as long as I've known him (since high school).

It used to really irk him when people would walk up to him and ask "How's the weather up there?"

He finally started responding by spitting on them and telling them it was raining.

On the other hand, I'm like Lupo, built for comfort, not for speed.

I was with my dad and mom (my very sweet, very proper mom) in a grocery store and had a small child (about 2, I guess) smile at me and wave hi. I responded in kind only to hear the mom say, "Honey, we don't talk to fat strangers."

Seriously, WTF? The skinny ones are OK but not the fat ones?

I proceeded to humiliate my mom (Sorry Mom!) by "coming unglued".
*imagine all of the following said quickly, like I've had too much caffeine, which I had!*
"What? I'm fat? Are you serious?"
(turns to Mom, panicked)
"What should I do?
Do you think I should go to the Emergency Room?
Is it contagious?
Do you think it'll go away on it's own or should I see if there's a cream for it?"

Dad was laughing too hard to say anything, but mom huffed "BECKDUER!" and walked away from me.

I should note that, of the three of us, I'm the smallest in every dimension!

[Blade_Raver]

(Hugs Lupo) I'm sorry people are just asshats towards you. You don't deserve that.

I'm a large man myself, and I find plus sized women attractive.

You handled yourself very well in those situations. I commend you.

COM: Obviously you weren't taught to respect your elders!

Ahhh. I hate old people! (well... sucky old people).

I don't get that 'respect your elders' sorry just because you managed to NOT DIE at some point in the last 80 years doesn't = respect.

Tortises live to be WELL over 100+ years and I'll respect the hell outta them before your avg. crotchty old windbag. (to my knowledge a tortise has never insulted me. lol)

If someone's polite and kind and friendly, then i'll respond in kind. If they're rude and insulting and an ass... well. I'll respond in kind.
