Tame The Tiger…
A manager in my office saw a photo of me in The Jeans and felt compelled to share this:
I used to work for Levi’s and we had a HUGE pair of size 50 jeans hanging up in the store (for customer amusement, no doubt). Your pants reminded me of those…wow, you’ve come a long way!”
Now, maybe it’s Aunt Flo’s influence, but I was ready to beat this heifer down. I suppose it was meant as a compliment, but that’s really fucked up. You would never tell anyone that their “before” blouse brought back memories of Barnum and Bailey tents, would you?!?
Maybe I should stay home today…my coworkers are in for a treat. LOL
Have a great weekend…

To all of my SATC Sisters: We will get through this difficult time. For now, order a Cosmo and be fabulous. 🙂
I think I’d have taken that the wrong way too….that was just rude. I’ve never watched SATC, but I still feel for you. 🙂

That sounds so rude.

That is RUDE! I cannot believe they had the gull to say that and try and mask it as a compliment. It is a far drive for me to Texas, but if you need to, I say we egg their house!
Warning Comment
I hate stupid people.

Eh, don’t sweat it. You know where you came from. Sometimes people clumsely deliver compliments. It’s in there somewhere, just trust in that. As far as SatC, I’ve honored Samantha by nabbing a new e-mail address: PerfectlyFabulous@yahoo.com 🙂

what an idiotic way to compliment someone. Don’t sweat it girl, you know how hard you’ve worked to get to where you are now, so just shake ’em haters off.
Warning Comment
What an idiot!!!!! Just ignore her and relish in the fact that you are one hot bitch now! *slurp*
Warning Comment
Damn! Does that person not know what tact is?? That was SO rude of them to say to you!
Warning Comment
Yeah, I agree with everyone else…she’s a complete idiot! Don’t even waist time thinking about her comment because she obviously didn’t think about it before she put her foot in her mouth. Also, she may seem innocent, but some people will do anything to degrade others who are doing well…maybe that’s what was going on… -AW

Tell her that her face reminds her of a horror movie you saw once. 🙂

What is it with this week? You’re the third person (including me) to write about someone offending them in the weight department. It must be “National Idiot’s Week” or something because dumb and rude stuff is flying out of people’s mouths left and right.
Warning Comment
It’s difficult for people to realize that you are the same person who used to be much larger…they don’t understand the insult part. Maybe you could get a copy of his baby picture and compare him to (pick the one that fits) a raisen, a monkey, the Michelin tire man…he might get it then. Or get a copy of his high school annual and say, “Wow, you really were a nerd.”
Warning Comment
That person was tacky, tacky, tacky!
Warning Comment
*sniffle* SATC DONT LEAVE ME!!
Warning Comment
You did good not to slap the taste out of her mouth. You know how people can be, giving those back handed compliments.
Warning Comment
you are not allowed to shed blood….unless i’m present. of course, i didn’t say anything about beating her to almost bloody 😐
Warning Comment
It’s rude. Once, some man in a dance class I took in college said something like, “You’re really light on your feet and you have a lot of energy. I mean, you’d expect someone heavy to seem heavy when they dance.” I hate that type of comment.
Warning Comment
People who do not have weight issues do not understand. Someone at work recently gave me a similar ‘compliment’. She didn’t have a clue that she had said something hurtful. I have never seen the program. I am culturally deprived. I guess I could rent it at a video store, huh?
Warning Comment
I have to say, I look at some of my before clothes and think of them as being like clown clothes. But it’s okay for me to say it, if anyone else said it I’d throttle them 😉
Warning Comment
sometimes people can’tg et out of their own way. You look stunning behind the pants.
Warning Comment
RYN-violent: i know where mine comes from…i’m texan, we’re all blood-thirsty about something. lol what about you? oh, and i meant to add…you should just consider the source of that backhanded compliment.
Warning Comment
some ppl have the manners of a baboon…girlfriend dont let ppl like that get to you
Warning Comment
Oh, what an awful thing for that person to say! Ugh. People can be so insensitive and inconsiderate. I just wanted to drop by and say hello. I’ve been popping in on your journal off and on for at least a year and am just so inspired and in awe of your personal accomplishments. I just joined WW last week, so I thought I’d come and introduce myself. 🙂 Take care

that is so rude… nice to know that the size you once wore was up there for their “amusement”.. some people really need to think before opening their mouths.
Warning Comment
RYN-tootie: lmao…thanks for the memories.
