Asshole management takes a new plunge

[ilbrantdai]

One of my managers hurt my feelings last night.

I was discussing weight with a female coworker, and I used the word "fat" to describe myself. My manager Josh chimes in, saying "You're not fat, overweight isn't fat

what the fuck? Overweight isnt fat? Someone doesnt know how to speak to women. He should keep his ideas to himself.

I would have slapped him, haha.

I can see what he meant. He didn't necessarily call you overweight either. And you have to remember that even skinny looking people can be overweight for their structure. You know, those skinny types who have weird bellies, etc.

But you're right, he really shouldn't have said anything because it didn't concern him. I really hate it when people interject their opinion because they think they know everything. Were you talking loud or something that got his attention or was he just being nosey? You should probably keep your personal stuff to yourself. I've found that most people really don't understand.

You've had body image issues forever. Don't think I'm trying to be mean when I say that I think you need to go talk to someone about it...like a counselor. Shit like that can really make more problems than you think in life.

Awww, sweetie - don't let that get to you. He was probably trying to be helpful and didn't realize he hurt your feelings. But I can see why it did. I know it sucks. But you're *not* fat. (I know fat and you're not it!) Chin-up, baby doll.

OMG. Sometimes guys can be the most retarded things in the world. Today, my friend Mat was cuddling me, and told me that I was fun to cuddle. I said "That's because I'm chubby" to which he replied "I know". Boys are just going to be asses I guess, but I totally get what you mean by having someone else outside of yourself acknowledge your weight problem... I've totally been there before. ROCK ON, and we are totally awesome!!
