Fat patient in the blood lab center

[bucketybuck]

@ivn1188

Every fat person is fat because they have a medical problem, genetic disposition, hormonal imbalance, or some other condition that causes obesity. I know this, because I have never ever met a fat person who said their obesity is because they eat too much and don’t exercise enough.

There are also no scientifically documented medical problems caused by obesity related to poor dietary habits and lifestyle choices. Obviously, sir, you are nothing but an insensitive asshole.
It’s like that one time when I had to wait in line at the grocery store because the woman in front of me had to discuss with the clerk if cigarettes were covered by her food stamps, which included a late evening call to the (closed) public aid office. I would never think of leaping to conclusions about her personal life, or anything like that, because that would be wrong, and this is not the place to make snap judgments about people and call them names because we disagree with their stated views.

For shame, Bri.

Actually, fat smokers would be fucking brilliant if there ever was an outbreak of zombie Tigers!

They can’t run.
They really can’t fucking run.
And if they get stressed, they will probably light up - Instant Smokescreen!

Of course, we don’t know the actual answer, so we’re forced to make assumptions.

No, really, we’re not.

How did I know this thread would be at 3 pages before the end of the work day?

[Covered_In_Bees]

I say we get curlcoat here and get this thing up to 10 pages in 24 hours.

Attack from the 3rd dimension, you are awesome and hilarious.

[SmellMyWort]

Damn, give the nurse a break. Everyone knows they have to change to a wider-gauge needle when the blood type is Ragu.

(And they save the dirty ones for the assholes!)

@Duke

Nobody was fat in the 1950’s. That’s the problem with liberals, you see.

WTF? Hippies where pretty damned skinny and things still went to hell. Let’s just dismiss this silly little fat rant and place the blame squarely where it should be: on the Tigers!

@Vihaga

I think you’re right. You should totally do this. The country needs action, not people sitting around bitching on the internet as they listen to themselves getting fatter. Start with the fat and mentally ill, and work from there, trying to figure out which groups in society are the least disciplined. (Hint: Beat up some pacifists in your first week to establish street cred.)

I, for one, welcome our fit, disciplined overlords.

AWESOME!

I would love to see the country move toward a more militaristic school system and culture. Turn out millions of Gunnery Sgt. Hartmanns. He didn’t have a whole lot of patience for foolery.

He was played by an actor, you ninny. He wasn’t real. You have a weird obsession with fantasy figures.

You’ve never ever made an assumption about someone in your life?

Preface: I have read nothing other than the thread title. I clicked on the thread and immediately clicked “post reply”. I am making this post utterly blind as to the contents of this now three-page thread. That said:

I predict this thread will go exceedingly well for the OP.

@Gukumatz

Mod’s Note: I’m not stepping in on whether this thread is a troll or not, but cross-pollination of Pit threads and dragging in unrelated people in a negative sense isn’t really good form. Not that it merits a warning or anything remotely like that, especially when it’s as mild as this, but it certainly doesn’t belong here. Unless Starving Artist is well known to hate fat people with the fury of a thousand suns, of course.

There isn’t a Rule on this, of course, and if you feel I’m singling you out unfairly, I’d be glad to talk the matter over with you in a PM.

Nah, nah, I’m good with the admonishment. Apologies to all for the faux pas.

Weird obsession with fantasy figures? Gee, extrapolate much?

Hartmann isn’t real? What?

[Guinastasia]

Not an asshole, eh? :dubious:

@bri1600bv

About 40 minutes later I go back. I ask the person doing the “sticks” (nicely) “gee the last group kind of took a while”. She says “we had a hard stick”. I said “The large woman?”. She laughed and said “yes, we couldn’t find a vein had to do it in her hand”.

Question – wouldn’t this technically be a violation of HIPAA?
People like YOU make me sick. You are one of the most judgmental, stupid shitheads to come around here. You make Larry the Cable Guy look like David Niven. Did you go to public school? Because I weep at the waste on such a moronic turd who talks like brainless inbred hick. Bitch, please. Anyone who uses insults like “fatty”, blimpo", and talks about harpoons and fat farms and plows should go back to sixth grade. Get a life.

(Oh, and I hope your puncture site gets a bruise the color of Grover on Sesame Street)

No, actually he wasn’t. R. Lee Ermey

Oh come now, it’s a bad idea but I wouldn’t automatically decide someone is an asshole because of it.

I have to say this is a pretty extreme reaction and I think it’s at least partially uncalled for, and I can only assume that you’ve decided to be righteously offended on behalf of a stranger, which I don’t understand. I fully understand the OP’s exasperation at seeing someone who seems to have decided to abuse themselves like that. It’s depressing to say the least.

I’m an inbred hick? Neither, and I graduated from one of the top schools in the country to boot! Ha ha ha. People who use the words “bitch, please” are ridiculously effeminate.

Wow, you looked up R. Lee Ermey, what is that supposed to prove?

If people were more like me, they’d work out and not be fat slobs. Yeah, that’d be tragic.

And yes, giving poor people nutritious healthy FREE food, instead of the high fat crap they eat is a horrible, horrible idea. It’s on the order of the Holocaust or Kim Jong Il’s treatment of his people.

Um, I believe Guin is indeed a woman. I don’t think calling her “effeminate” is generally held to be an insult in this modern age.

So he’d be right to call her a fat chick?

It’s not the person he’s insulting, but his tone. And if you read most of that thread, he basically comes off as extremely hateful to the less fortunate.
Oh, and who doesn’t know who Ermey is? I’m a big fan of Mail Call. (Not so much his new show, though – although the one about swords and other medieval weapons was pretty cool)

And indeed, I am female, so “effeminate” doesn’t bother me. Dude needs to pay attention.

**Guinastasia didn’t say that you were an inbred hick, she said that you talk like one, which you do. The fact that you claim to have graduated from “one of the top schools in the country” only makes me weep for the future of this country if you’re an example of what our “top schools” are turning out.

What would be tragic is that they’d be self-centered, judgmental assholes.
