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

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!

Screw those twig bitches, they're going to hell.

Serious question; what is a thigh gap?

I am a dumbass and I know what a thigh gap is. Hey!!!! You're dumber than a dumbass!!!!! You know what, I can just teach you how to be a complete dumbass. It's easy. Step 1: Be sheltered (or, if ur not, number ur brain) Step 2: Don't think Step 3: Congrats! You're a dumbass!!!!

Ok for those who don't know what a thigh gap is, look down between your legs. If your thighs touch then you do not have a thigh gap. It's a really insignificant thing really.

How stupid and shallow. They're such ugly people.

Really!? Ugh, the only way someone can have a thigh gap without being severely malnourished is if they have a splayed pelvis, as most of the bulk of that part of the leg is caused by a large muscle that runs up the inside of the thigh. You'd literally have to have your muscle wasting away for that to happen. Morons.

my pelvis is splayed? The muscles are wasting away? Jesus ******* christ! Why the hell did my doctor not say anything to me about this????? I have thigh gap. I am not abnormally skinny. I do not have wide hips. I actually muscles on a medium/small-ish boned frame. It has to do with bone frame on a healthy person, how their muscles and fat tend to develop and sit. Genetics and lifestyle. Any other pearls of wisdom you want to spew out there? Now I have to go and make a panicked call to my doctor...something about my pelvis and wasting muscles...

The power society has on the youth is horrifying. We need to reteach that appearances fade but personality remains forever.

society isnt some faceless entity you know. these opinions have been around for years peepetuated by women and womens magazines over the years. opinion will change again the same way that it changed from the curvey women all those years ago.

Consolation: with their brains, they'll be frying fries at McD's, and probably only afford that food. Then we'll talk about their "no thigh gap". Don't let them get you down OP. Skeletal is ugly

Apparently they think it's sexier to have a gap between your thighs....obviously they don't realize just how sickening that looks. Please tell me you gave them sandwiches!

Oh my goodness! My appearance is sickening?! My self confidence just went down the drain. I didn't realize that there are so many people out there that would judge me for the space between my thighs. I thought only those teenage girls in the FML cared. Thank you for enlightening me.

Please tell me they got shown out? And possibly sterilized... You can't just let them reproduce! XD

MOST OF THE POPULATION DOESN'T HAVE THIGH GAPS AND FOR SOME IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!! I really hate teenage girls. I'm glad you walked away. I hope those girls look back on this and feel awful and embarrassed about themselves.

Hats off to you, OP. I really don't think I could've controlled myself in that situation, so well done for keeping your cool.

Why on Earth is a fatty working in fashion?

125/126- just SHUT THE **** UP ugly ass piece of wasted human creation ... -.-t

Like already said a thousand times, having no thigh gap doesn't mean you're fat. Of course, more fat, less thigh gap, but also: muscles, position of your hips (that's bones growing, which you can't intervene with eating salad) are responsible for the existence of thigh gaps. So OP might be only sporty, jogs a lot, and there go the thigh gaps, even if she has the genetical structure. Seeing your profile and your comments lets my bullshit sense tingle.

Am I the only one that thinks Enty is a fat, sad, lonely old man that has to put up a good looking profile photo and bash everyone else on this site to make him feel better about himself? Because he's certainly spewed a load of bullshit every time I've ever seen him comment.

Besides the fact that I had to actually look up what a thigh gap is (and let me tell you, it was stupid the moment I read a description), welcome to the 21st century, where everyone is at fault for something someone else did.

Oh Jesus. Your reaction was impressive, I probably would have lost my job. Just the thought of that situation makes me angry.

I'm with 140. There is NO way I'm going to let anyone talk to me like that, and I don't and still have my job. I may get yelled at but they won't fire me (being one of the best employees helps, then again, it is a fast food restaurant). Knowing how I am with people like them, I'd snap back pointing out that they don't have 'thigh gaps' so what's the big deal?

Good on you for walking away and keeping your cool. Remember, while they are having shopping sprees with daddy's money now, years from now you will be laughing when they don't know how to make their own money. I'm glad my teenager years are over.

The manager ended up helping them find what they were looking for and they bought some stuff and left. I didn't get an apology or anything, but the manager gave me the weekend off. :)

That's a bunch of bullshit. Your manager is a twat for not standing up for his employees.

Unluckymeow 9

I'm sorry your manager didn't really stand up for you, but at least he understood what happened and gave you the weekend off. Even if the little bitches were forced to give you an apology, I doubt they would have meant it. :/

In my opinion huge thigh gaps on girls looks unattractive. It makes them look like robotic armatures with no meat on their bones

Bludmagnus 13

I am glad you didn't either, though those girls immaturity just spells trouble for them. I am very glad you still have your job, and you handled that like a real adult.

But he didn't stand up for you!!! I hope it's a paif weekend lol! No but that is nice he gave you the weekend off.

I honestly hope your manager at least told them to leave, that was pretty freaking rude. Those were my kids I would have hit them where it hurts most, their pride. Sorry this happened to you.
