#20..."these days"?? I'd say people are asking about the weather more than ever lately, cause it's been sooo crazy and the weather patterns in a lot of places have been changing drastically. So I really don't see how it would be out of the ordinary to ask someone, when making small talk, how the weather where they're from is if they live in a different state than you.

YDI for not having carried on.

I honestly don't think that people who are different take offence as much as people think to these sort of unintentional comments. Even if they do you had no intent, your conscience is clear so why worry about it? :)

To those saying no one asks what the weather is like: Do you ever go out? I hear it all the time, even if the asker lives a few cities away. It's a pretty common question for small talk.

I do things like that, too. I hope you kept a straight face, then it'd seem like their stature never came across your mind at all--even after saying that.

who cares? innocent question

ooh..... so stupid :P

The fact that you said that shows that you looked beyond his height. By asking him hows the weather down there you did what everybody wants us to do, treat all people as people. You treated your customer like any other customer and if the midget took offense then screw him because that just shows he abuses the fact that he can reek benefits out of people who treat him differently. Don't feel bad but instead feel proud that you have the ability to look pass this person's height and treat him like a normal human being.

LMAO dude, nice...

Sooo..... maybe next time think BEFORE you speak?
