OK, I know I am overweight, does that mean a person needs to come up to me and remind me of it? She comes up to me with "excuse me I've lost 60 pounds on this diet and was wondering if you wanted to know about it?"
In honesty I saw her coming but figured was going to ask me for directions not to inform me that she thinks I need to lose 60 pounds. It caught me off guard and all I could manage was polite version of "
After feeling great all morning I'm confronted with this. Now if i wasn't so cynical in the first place this might depress me. Fortunately that is not the case. I'm looking at the card now, it is one of those drink this and lose weight magically pyramid type programs.
That pisses me off even more, that a person is trying to profit on peoples insecurities. Not like this nation doesn't already have a perverse view of whats normal, like I'm not reminded through TV, magazines, newspapers, Internet, in store ads, car dealerships, walking down the street, at work, at home, shopping, in fact just waking up. Now I have to have people come up to me and tell me whats "wrong" with me and how to fix it.
Makes me wonder if I could profit on selling drinks that cure people being a, for lack of a better word, ahole . Take one of these and you won't be a complete douchbag. Operators are standing by.
