Today, I was accused of shoplifting because my jacket looked "too chunky". I wasn't stealing, I'm just fat. FML

It's okay, OP. December is cold. 'Tis the season to gain some extra insulation.

I had the opposite happen once, see I was shoplifting condoms and the owner caught me, looked at my face and let me go saying I couldn't possibly use them so I couldn't possibly be stealing em.

That is awful. Make sure they know their mistake.

This happened in front of me once. I didn't know how to stand up for the overweight gentleman who was accused. Sorry that happened to you OP.

I've worked plenty of retail jobs. We were never supposed to confront a customer unless we saw them actually take something. It's bad customer service to accuse everyone in a puffy coat, especially with our winter temperatures. People who do that should be reported to management.

Wearing a jacket in California? Did it drop below 70? :P

Dude it dropped to under freezing out here a couple nights ago, if this ain't the time to pull out the parkas I don't know when is! In all seriousness though, you would think it was a blizzard with how bundled up people are out here right now.

This would be clever except for the fact that there is NORTHERN California where it snows and reaches the same low temperatures as the rest of the Northern US. Just saying.

I do not acknowledge the existence of this Northern California place you speak of. Who cares if our state Capitol is there, it doesn't truly exist.

I have a feeling you've seen the Atheist page on Facebook.

Take off your jacket and shake that jelly lol

Lolwat, why would OP shake the thing that caused the store to embarrass them

to prove that he's just fat and not a shoplifter

The truffle shuffle is an obvious proof of innocence.

Just need to lose a few pounds and you'll look curvy not fat in no time. Sometimes jackets make you look bigger if they are really big on you.

I don't remember chunky being in the 6 levels of fatness.

Maybe OP is at the level of "oh HELL NO" as opposed to "fluffy" and is trying to give it a nicer name :)

Fluffy is a stupid word, fat women make me laugh, call a spade a spade, don't dance around with terms like "cuddly" "fluffy" "more to love" etc, and don't call yourself "curvy". Curvy is like an hourglass, fat rolls and back fat are not curves. Face facts, you're fat, step out of denial and if it embarrasses you to refer to your body as fat, do something about it, not make up pet names to make it sound better.

70, I kind of agree with you. I tell people to call me how they want "fat, chubby" whatever; but there are bigger women who have curves. People tell me I have curves, my measurements show I have curves, and I'm a bigger woman or fat as it should be. Some women are fluffy which means they're a cute kind of fat because the word "fluffy" is a cute word. There's nothing wrong with it so why do you make it seem like it is? some women get offended and some, like myself don't. oh and also, a lot of fat women are NOT embarrassed with their bodies.

Thats happened to my best friend.once, we asked to talk to the manager, and as an apology, we got free chips for a year. Fyl op, but don't get fed up about it, I bet your just fine :)

A hidden insult? If you or your friend were chubby and accused of shoplifting, after asking to see the manager, I see the free chips thing as a hidden "F you." If that had happened to me, the free chips would've been a wasted "sorry." I'm sorry if I have some information wrong, I am on mobile and I can't look back at your comment without canceling my reply.

Wow chips so your friend can get fatter?

Shut up and strip. They will think twice about doing that again. A few minutes embarrassment for you, but a life lesson for them.
