What a Jackass!!!!

Reason #647 that Connie does not carry a loaded weapon... Today was a really rough day at work. Crisis after crisis and one thing after another. I didn't have time to eat lunch and about 4:30, I was hungry and starting to feel crappy. I didn't want to eat anything big or heavy because I'm having dinner with my sister so I ran down to the sandwich shop downstairs and got an iced tea and a bag of baked chips. I'm on the elevator on my way back to my office when this guy I've never seen before says, "Hmmmmm.... chips and a soda, I see." "Chips and tea, no time for lunch, but this will do until dinner." Then the jackass replies, "Honey, you can't afford to eat that stuff. You need to switch those chips for a salad immediately." I would have kicked his ass if I wasn't afraid of dropping my chips. Instead, I thanked him for his unsolicited, unwelcome opinion and told him to mind his own business. It occurs to me that I may have taken this too personally, with a fat girl viewpoint, and maybe he would have said this to anyone, but jeez was I pissed. I went into my boss' office and told her what happened and she said, "You left him breathing? I can't believe you let him live." Maybe this bothers me so much because today, for the first time in my entire life, I'm wearing size 8 pants that are a little loose to boot. Never in my adult life have I been this small. Just when you think you've got a grip, someone sucks the wind out of you. Arrrrgghhhh! Connie

Congratulations on your size 8's! Congratulations on the well-deserved instruction in manners you delivered! Congratulations, most of all, on your restraint!!! Joy

Connie, I am very surprised that you left him standing as well. Wow, after being a size 8 I for sure would not have been that kind. Consider the source & Do not take it personal by any means. I should be so lucky being a size & I was down to a 14, but, not any more. Have to get back on that exercise train, somewhere it stopped & having a hard problem getting back on.

To which I would have replied, "Since we're on such a personal basis, I'm Connie. You must be Little Dick." Go out and strut that size 8 -- and buy a new pair of jeans while you're at it. Chin up, girlfriend. Love, Reenie

omg reenie- i love you!

And where have YOU been, little missy???

You have some serious restraint! I'm not one for confrontation, but I would have suggested he kiss your white (not wide!) size 8 ass. Next time he offers his superior opinion, he needs to keep his big, fat mouth shut. Ok - now I feel a bit better. Hmmmmm.........find out what he drives and slash his tires, or better yet - take a Polaroid picture of your bare, size 8 ass and leave it on his windshield. ;o) Glad you don't own a weapon! -W-

Connie---you DO have a grip. He should be thankful he didn't leave that elevator in a body bag. I'd have freaked out on him. Some people not only ask to be ripped up, they deserve it. The elevator guy is one of those people. Take care, and keep on keeping on..... Joanie

Wow!......Now there's a boy who's just begging for someone to open up a can of "whup-ass" on him!!! Connie, I'm impressed that you had the self-control to leave your can opener in your pocket!! Isn't it amazing how many thoughtles a-holes there are out there??!! What makes these cretins think that they have the right to dispense their un-solicited wisdom to one and all??!! Connie, don't let this brainless toad get you down....Just park your size 8 in front of a mirror for a minute and celebrate your beautiful, skinny self!! CHEERS!! Mike

WOW!!!! Brainless cavemen DO still exist!!!To bad there are no are T-Rex's left to eat him!!
