i didn't tell the man...hey, Tricia! welcome :)<br /><br />i didn't tell the manager... mostly because I believe in giving people the chance to make informed choices. i figured that given that society doesn't expect someone in their mid-20s to be ill and that my disease is pretty invisible to the untrained eye (and that she may legitimately not realize that people can be ill without appearing so) , she may have been pretty oblivious. which certainly doesn't justify her comment, but at least she has a chance to recognize her mistake.<br /><br />if i get a comment like that from her again though, i will most probably ask to speak to the manager.SRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811681599358423795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863418154094792325.post-41315081137217707042010-05-24T22:48:45.916+08:002010-05-24T22:48:45.916+08:00Ohmigosh!

I would tell the manager that you will go someplace else if she continues to make inappropriate comments. That comment would be interpreted as insulting to anyone especially in your position.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674942109993731593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863418154094792325.post-9669259740651867392010-05-08T13:31:45.241+08:002010-05-08T13:31:45.241+08:00I would have made a comment.

If someone could *maybe* realize that the only reason a person can gain weight is not because they "let themselves go" then it is worth it.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037584714439738592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863418154094792325.post-65457554380705761622010-05-07T22:24:25.257+08:002010-05-07T22:24:25.257+08:00@Annie - thanks, love! i hope you are feeling a li...@Annie - thanks, love! i hope you are feeling a little better this morning (i think its morning there now?)<br /><br />@Dawn - welcome! and thanks :). i hope she learned something as well - maybe she won't be quick to judge. i never know when i'm out of line telling somebody things like this, so it's good to know people agree that i did the right thing haha.SRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811681599358423795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863418154094792325.post-43168067490205423492010-05-07T21:52:54.844+08:002010-05-07T21:52:54.844+08:00New reader - just stumbled upon your blog and I am...New reader - just stumbled upon your blog and I am quite impressed by your ability to set this "person" straight. I'm so glad you could find your voice to let her know what was going on and I hope in the future she will now know to keep her mouth and comments to herself.<br /><br />Very impressed, indeed (smile).Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601666734084449256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863418154094792325.post-18253756697958481592010-05-07T20:15:37.959+08:002010-05-07T20:15:37.959+08:00Awwww, SR this made me tear up as I was reading it...Awwww, SR this made me tear up as I was reading it. I would have had the same reaction to the rude cow.
