Health: Huh?

Huh?

By Anonymous - 14/07/2009 18:03 - Spain

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 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, I told my boyfriend that I gained a few pounds and thought I looked fat. He replied that I looked the same and that I shouldn't worry because he likes fat girls. I never thought I was fat before this. FML

Today, I got told I was too fat and needed to stop eating, because I need to lose weight. I was then given a full plate of food and had to eat it all. 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 out with a guy who, about 20 minutes into our dinner, said, "Wow, you don't sweat much for a fat chick." 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, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML

Today, I went on my first date in 8 years. While we were looking at the menu, the guy said: "So if you're vegetarian, why're you so fat?" FML

All you can eat buffet of shit

Today, my dad insisted on taking us to a local buffet that is known for bad food and botulism. He kept piling things onto a plate for me, despite my objections. A waitress commented on how much was on my plate. I told her I wasn't hungry, and it was my dad's doing. Her response, "Your skinny self needs to eat." FML

So don't tip him? You're probably reading too much into it. He probably didn't mean it that way.

The waiter had absolutely no right to say that. I would have left the restaurant if I were you. You didn't tip him, did you?

I don't know about the etiquette in Spain, but if a waiter has the cojones (or huevos) to tell you you're fat, then you must be fat. Get real, piggie, you think you are hot, but you are just stuffing your fat face alone in a restaurant and the waiter is probably the only male who will talk to you. Start losing some weight!

not_a_valentine. I am so glad we are on the same page! It takes people of courage like us to speak the truth even when it may be ugly and painful. The OP was in serious denial about her weight problem and needed some harsh truth to shake her from her trance. It's good to know there are people like you out there.

I would have complained. I'm a server and I would never say something like that to a customer. We're there to give you good service, not advice.

I wish people like that would mind their own damned business. They don't know you, so they don't know if how you look is normal, if you're working on losing weight, or if you just don't give a rats ass about your physical appearance. They need to just do their job and butt out.

Are they even allowed to say that? What a dick. |: FYL, and I hope you didn't tip his stupid ass.

Wow, please tell me you asked to speak to his manager. Doesnt matter how "fat" he thinks you are. That is completely rediculous behavior.

It doesnt matter if OP is fat or not. The waiter isnt a dietician, he shouldnt be making comments like that. I wouldve asked to see the manager and gotten him fired.
