Maybe keep repeating something along the lines of not wanting to damage your body for something ridiculously unnecessary. There are more important things in life than the shade of your skin!
Poor you. I detest squawkers - they really don't realise how loud they are! Could you not wear earplugs or something?
You know where I stand on the pale and interesting vs fake tan brigade issue. Painting yourself the colour of muck/being tango-ed is not a good look if you're naturally pale. I think it's a herd mentality: "Oh noes! She doesn't look like us! We must make her one of us!!!" Someone who looks different (and better than then) is too much for their little brains to take in.
As for the dieting, all offices are like that, but in some they calorie count and in others they try and force feed you. Just say that you have lots of allergies ;)
Yes, well psychoanalysed - they really do seem to be into the whole borg idea of assimilation... And they do this annoying thing where they want to eat something ridiculously indulgent and in order to asuage their guilt, they guilt you into eating some too and then lament about "how bad we are...we'll have to be extra good later or go to the gym after that!"
Yeah squawker ( I think that's her new nickname from me) seems put out by my lunch time walks "Oh well yes you should, it's good to get active and get some exercise..."
Yes...I know you've already pretty much called me fat before but being overly condescending in your encouragement of my physical activity quota is just...mean!
I know how you feel! When I was working at the bank, I was one of 2 alternatives in the whole building! So I went out of my way to be different. Now I'm not advocating that you go for patent leather stilletoes, more velvet than you can shake a stick at and very red lippy, just do whatever is best for you
( ... )
Tans, both fake and real, are yucky yuck yuck and a bit of a turn-off tbh. And why!? Why would anybody want to do that kind of damage to their skin.
I'll continue to skulk about in the shadows of buildings, taking odd paths between places as a result, and looking a bit grey in the face due to the application of factor 50+ lotion, and I'll be happy in doing so :)

I always refuse to play along which annoys them no end when they see me refusing the cake and coming in with my gym bag ;)
