Today, one of the patients on the mental health unit where I work looked me up and down and said, "Well, I guess it's a popular misconception that all fat people are jolly." FML

Hey, at least you're not the one in the mental institution.

He's the one in the mental institution. Just ignore his derogatory comment.

I was wondering this as well! It's inappropriate any way you look at it, but most people don't say things just because. The offender being institutionalized doesn't necessarily play a part in it.

Ah for the good old days, when you could take a nutbag in an asylum and douse them with a firehose, or poke them with a sharp stick through the bars in their cage. JK Folks, JK. I wouldn't get too torqued out about this, since said resident probably thinks they're Napoleon.

Look at him menacingly and say, "But it IS true that we're all strong as oxes." Then laugh as you walk away.

In what world is it a "popular" misconception?
