And another thing...

I have a problem with the coffee cart guy across the street from my internship. Yesterday I was the only one in line for coffee, and in an attempt to get more money out of me he said, "I have low-fat muffins, too." WTF? He didn't mention the bagels or croissants or danishes he also sells. It made me pause

Comments

i don't think it was a comment on your size - just that his women customers probably only want the low-fat.

still, it makes him a giant asswipe. couldn't he just say "would you like a snack along with that?"

[melograna]

Ugh, I hate that comment, too. Like, thanks for admitting you've been ogling me, you dirty dirty creep.

[melograna]

I can't stand it when someone comments in any way on my food choices, unless it's to say "I had that the other day (or whatever) and it was really good."

[snarkout_rat]

Oh, that makes my blood boil. Now I want to smack him.

and not that this should matter, but you're teensy tiny!

asshat.

conversely, I hate it when we have a birthday party in my department and they buy a cake and no one will eat it--not even a tiny slice. Get a life already.

[sarah_raz]

i hate that too!

[melograna]

Grrrrr, that annoys me so much! We were just talking here about how when *that kind of woman* wants a doughnut she'll buy a box of two dozen and then share them around the office -- not only to minimize the food-guilt for eating something so *sinful* by spreading the guilt around the office, but also to get a better per-doughnut price. Wow, cheap and self-hating... there's a winning combo.

I would have deadpanned, "Do you think I'm fat?"

Make him think about the nature of such a jackass statement.

Christ.
