What a self-righteous asshole. I would've laid out to him this (Courtesy of Orson Wells)" I can lose weight, you'll still be a jerk".

I think (not sure) but Winston Chruchill said something similiar to a "high society" lady back in the day. the conversation went something like this
HS : Mr Prime Minister you are quite drunk
WS: That is true but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Just don't mention the crunchy stripy stuff so we can eat them in peace. (and without hoofmarks)

Candy canes? Candy sticks?

It's nobody's damn business what anyone else eats. I never look at what other people are buying (unless I see some guy with a ton of booze and 10 packages of ribs and I think, "That's going to be some party!").

When I was pregnant I gained almost 70 pounds. One day this old lady customer at the bookstore commented that she'd noticed I had gained a lot of weight in the past few months and I probably wanted to watch that. I stepped out from behind the counter so she could see my cetacean form and said, "I'm pregnant and you're rude." I haven't seen her since.

Side note, when I was pregnant I ate rainbow sherbet like it was going out of style. Now even the sight of it makes me ill. So weird.

I was trying to remember this line but tropicsgoddess beat me to it. It gets my vote: it's short, sharp and doesn't include any obscenities (which I believe shows the jerk they have successfully yanked your chain.) Include the sarcastically sweet smile or the sharklike baring-of-the-teeth for additional effect.

I think you were being too kind by calling him a douche. It got me thinking, "I wonder if this was for that ABC news show 'What would YOU Do?' "

Not the best way to get tips.

Think that's bad, just check the comments. Ugh.

Well, I think we all know that the Consumerist tends to have a lot more judgemental jerks and would-be comedians than, say, the originating site, PassiveAgressiveNotes.com, whose commenting userbase appears to be much more in line with the crew over here.

Thank you.

Just stating the evident.

Oops, you're right. The only person who made a 'generalisation' comment was the one providing an idea for rebuttal. My apologies.

/bows.
Accepted with cookies back.

Your job as a (brilliant in my opinion) moderator

:blush:

Thank you.

...that's why I specified that I don't know about "real men" - I stated my opinion.

I know no harm was intended, but I wanted to ensure that no harm actually happened.

And yes, I am aware that different people are attracted to different body types. It's simple, plain fact. It's when people start generalising their personal preferences to 'all men' or 'real men' (or women, for that matter) that it starts hurting people.

Another fun response for you... "What?!?! You want me to lose my baby?!? Why would you tell a pregnant woman she should lose her baby??"

Haha, my boyfriend did this to some lady that was badgering him about his energy drink purchase:

Her"Omigosh, are you going to drink those ALL AT ONCE?!"
Him "No! Omg! Why would you even SUGGEST that?! Do you know how unhealthy these things are? That could KILL you to drink this many at once! Don't you EVER suggest someone do that! Horrible." and then he walked off.

HFB, I would've liked to see you simply utter the statements you posted as thoughts. Would've gotten the point across nicely. But I know we all usually think of this stuff later. Also, I admit I do look at people's carts. It's the same as being tempted to look in medicine cabinets. But I certainly don't comment on it.

[dilutedvoice]

Yeah uh, as a former anorectic/bulimic, I would've told him to fuck off. I would've gone with Merriweather's approach. "So did you know that canned soup contains 20% sodium? Iceberg lettuce has no nutrition, you should eat spinach leaves with a liter of water. What, you have soda? Ewww that'll bloat you right up." Asshole.
