FML - The follow-up

Today, at work, two teenage girls caused a huge scene and told me to get lost, after I asked if they needed any help. Their reasoning: they didn't want to be helped by "someone who doesn't have a thigh gap." FML

Hannahb17 Say more :
For those of you who are wondering, I'm 17 and I work at Forever 21. I asked the two girls if they needed any help and they said, "Umm.. We don't want YOUR help." I said, "Excuse me?" They said, "OMG WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? WE DON'T WANT YOUR HELP! CAN WE GET SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP US?" At that point a manager came over to see what the problem was and the girls said, "We don't want her help. She doesn't even have a thigh gap. Why does she even work here?" Not wanting to do anything stupid and lose my job, I walked away. The two girls had to have been only a year or two younger than me. Plot twist: THEY DIDN'T HAVE FREAKING THIGH GAPS! I can't explain to y'all how much that irked me. The whole thing was just stupid. I really like working at Forever 21, though, so I'm glad I didn't do anything to jeopardize that. Well, thank you all for the supportive comments! They were fun to read. (: I hope y'all have a great night/day!

Op it's time to use my trademark grab those girls and try to make out with them to freak them out. This will show them not to be mean to people. :(

Seriously #57? That's just as bad as those teenage girls saying they don't want to associate with someone who doesn't have a thigh gap.

I'm not educated on the term "thigh gap." It could be that there is no pelvis? Or there are large quadriceps? Or OP has no legs? Or OP is an Oreo? Maybe a Skittle. Maybe even a shark attack victim with only a torso... All of these things have no "thigh gap."

Exactly what #77 said. If you have a thigh gap, it's usually because you have wider hips. It's perfectly normal not to have them. Those girls need to get a check up, from the neck up.

Exactly. Thigh gaps aren't all about eating disorders. It's about body structure and that's something you can't change (easily anyway). Don't worry OP, thigh gap or not, those girls are just stuck up twatbags.

It's ok, OP. I'm very sure you are beautiful It might not be true, but many people started to say that having a thigh gap means you're a lot looser down there than people with it.

57, I don't have a thigh gap and it's weird and gross? Like someone else posted you are being just as rude as the teenage girls. Everyone's body is different.

#57 I actually happen to have a thigh gap so I am offended by this. Everyone's body is different and a thigh gap does not always mean an eating disorder. The fact that you think they are "weird and gross" seems pretty close minded.

Ok, if a thigh gap means that your thighs do not touch and rub together, how is that gross or disgusting? I happen to have a 'thigh gap' but that is because I exercise regularly and have very muscular legs. I'm sorry that being in shape disgusts you so much. Although I think that it was very rude and ignorant of those girls to say that to Op. Everyone has different body types and I get a hard time from a lot of people because I am thin. It's hurtful either way so please don't contribute to the ignorance.

#242, having a thigh gap means that your hips are wider than others. I have a thigh gap, but not muscular legs. I fail to see how having muscular legs will give you one when in fact, it's the complete opposite.

Seriously. I don't know where people got it in their head that they have the right to speak to another person like that just because they feel like it. If I had been there, I would have gladly smacked the shit out of them for you OP.

I feel so out of place in my generation sometimes because I don't like the 'thigh gap' [I find it ugly] or any other of those type of things that this generation is obsessed with and one of my friends was with me in being anti-thigh gap, by then she decided to conform..... It really is frustrating Rant over

I think she meant that it's horrible that girls think they need thigh gaps to be pretty, and based on the fact that it is based on bone structure, she's right. I don't see why she's getting thumbed down so much. Maybe her sentence structure needs a little work...

I am a teenage girl and am absolutely nothing like anyone else. I like adults more because girls at my school are dumb rude snotty sluts. I'm friends with the ones with a brain and a heart who don't look like street walkers. Sorry OP, but I'm not surprised. I'm in 8th grade and have never had a thigh gap in my life and think girls with thigh gaps look really weird

I bet if it was a hot muscular guy with no thigh gap (due to huge muscular legs) they would not mind. I say theyre hypocrites.

Huge muscular legs?

Reply
  tj4234  |  35

Sigh, that's because you get different 'types' of muscle. For example bruce lee and arnold schwarzenegger were both muscular but looked very different. They did different sorts of training which is why they looked different. If your dancer friend had been a body builder he would have had massive muscles.

They wouldn't care about whether or not a guy has a thigh gap. This whole thigh gap thing is more of a standard girls place on each other.

For what exactly are you blaming "society" here? For turning these girls into superficial twats? That isn't society, dear. That's called a lack of proper upbringing.

Hhhmmm, society? Not so much. More so; the images, projections, articles, advertisements etc that we are bombarded with day in, day out through the media in all its forms/publications. It's no wonder the next generation is completely warped. Society is a joke, it doesn't exist anymore. Pretty sure those teens can be surmised in one name: Varuka Salt. And we all know what happened to her...

This generation doesn't suck because it has lots of idiots and assholes, it sucks because they are receiving much more attention and are in the spotlight.

Every generation blames the one before. There has and always will be a hierarchy in society. Where perhaps you and I were taught to save up if we wanted something badly enough, there will always be those whose biggest concern is not how much it costs, so long as I have it first before anybody else.
