Today, I was taking a customer's order, when she said she'd better go for a salad, because she was getting fat. She was actually very slim, so I told her she wasn't fat at all. She took one look at me and snorted "Yeah, not compared to you, that's for sure." FML

Today, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML

Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out for lunch, and I asked her if I could have a bite of her meal. She took it to mean I was calling her fat, and stormed out. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant for lunch. The waiter brought some bread and I started eating it as I waited for him to take my order. When he approached me he looked at me and said, "Don't eat too much bread honey. It'll make you fatter." Not fat, fatter. I never thought of myself as fat. FML

Today, I saw an attractive, thin woman eating a salad. Trying to be smooth, I approached her and told her that she didn't need to eat so scarcely, because she was beautiful. She promptly gave me a dirty look and informed me that she was a vegetarian. FML

Today, my aunt said that it looked like I lost some weight. I was pleased with this, since I've been trying to lose some. My mom, for some reason, thought it was insulting. She pulled me to aside to assure me that I most definitely don't look any skinnier. FML

Today, while at work, a rather large woman came in and ordered a cheeseburger. When asking if she would like to supersize it, she took her purse, smacked me, and told me she wasn't fat, and how rude I was for calling her supersized. I was just doing my job. FML

Customers from hell

Today, at work a customer yelled at me, called me a 'fucking bitch', 'a fat whore', and, told me to lose weight because I wouldn't let her in the grocery store I work at to buy lettuce, after we'd closed. Lettuce for her lizard. FML

Today, I was reduced to tears and called a "useless fat bitch" by a customer I was serving. She didn’t realize that the steak fajitas she’d ordered had steak in them. She said she was a vegetarian. She failed to mention it, but apparently it was "my fault" because I “should have known." FML

Today, while having dinner with my boyfriend's family, his mom told me that it looks like I've gained quite some weight. When my boyfriend told her that this was a rude thing to say, she said it wasn't rude, just the truth. FML

She needs new brain cells to go with that salad. Her sour attitude will eventually get back at her! I give it 5 years!

I hate it when skinny people complain that they are fat. Sorry people are rude when they are complimented.

Well, she's a bitch but already making herself miserable. You don't have to a thing to ruin her day, she's ruined it for herself already. Hope she ate her salad while the person next to her enjoyed a much tastier meal...and very obviously enjoyed it. She's gonna make herself miserable with her "I have to eat a salad because I'm fat" shit. Normally, I have a lot of sympathy for people with eating disorders but not when they are evil cows. Let her suffer. This is Awesome.

I had a friend with an eating disorder that behaved like that. She would project her fear of looking fat onto everyone else. Feel glad that you don't have to live trapped in the constant state paranoia that she does, because she's going to lose more than a few pounds with that attitude.

Dang, what a snooty cow! Even if you are fat (whether you are or not is something I don't know), there's nowt wrong with it - just please don't ever turn out like her!

When I was younger, I was very skinny, but in middle school, I started to gain a few pounds, and these assholes in gym were calling me fat and laughing at me. I was only 15 pounds overweight, and I didn't even look fat. They're obviously ******* retarded if they thought I was fat, and they actually hung out with kids who had weight problems.
