Pretty sure an elderly client just called me fat 😅

she was talking about buying clothes for someone for Christmas and how hard it was because she’s so petite. A size I could only dream of being. 😂
geez lady

We start out as kids, then grow into adulthood, before becoming kids again. I believe that the lessons we weren’t able to grasp in adulthood come back out in our elderly age when we have no reason to hide them anymore.

Well that's just [b][i]mean[/i][/b]. I often wonder if some people even realize how thoughtless what they say is.

@Piper I don’t think they realize, and probably don’t care to

@Jeephikelove what in the world is wrong with people??

Jeephikelove · 46-50, F

@itsok right, so rude, I try not take things they say to heart. Plus I do get flirted with and receive more marriage proposals than I get insulted so it’s not so bad. 😅

itsok · 31-35, F

@Jeephikelove I don’t know why the compliments never stick. It’s just the insults

Fat is a mental state… People who won’t even try to be healthy or make only excuses for their state of being.. or who only encourage unhealthy choices are fat… 😷 at least that’s always been my point of view… coming from a family with a lot of overweight members I feel I learned the differences..

The elderly will say anything without thinking😬
I've had a patient telling me that my arm is soft😂 Pretty sure that called me fat too, another one told me to eat more 😂

itsok · 31-35, F

@SW-User they’ll say anything they want and there’s no changing it 😅

@itsok True that😂

I'd take your figure over being petite.

And older people just say whatever 🤷‍♀️😅
Meeting my bf's grandmother for the first time, she said 'he's always liked them plump'🤣

Gift cards, ma'am, get gift cards. Don't make a spectacle of yourself by describing a petite person :)

itsok · 31-35, F

@SW-User I don’t know why she felt the need to bring my size into it 😵

@itsok Crazy lady :)

WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F

She most likely just meant in general… cuz yer naht fat

itsok · 31-35, F

@WaryWitchWandering it really didn’t sound like she meant in general 😬

AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F

Where I come from petite means short not fat.

itsok · 31-35, F

@AntisocialTroll she meant very small in all ways. she went on and on about it

Degbeme · 70-79, M

jeebus! I hope I never get old. 😡

itsok · 31-35, F

@Degbeme you are my favorite not-so-old person 😁

Degbeme · 70-79, M

@itsok awww... 🤗

My mother in law was like that woman. She once told us, I have reached that age where I can say whatever I want. 🤦‍♂️

Old people are brutal.

itsok · 31-35, F

@AlchemyFox they really are

I'm just playing devils advocate here, but maybe the person she was talking about was excessively skinny and she was just emphasizing that?

But I wasn't there, so I can't be sure 🤔
