Damnit, didn’t the OP say enough skinny-bashing?
Must everything be fat?
…when will it be enough for you?
What if the irony meter is best made skinny? Hmm?
Maybe they tried to make it bigger and it didn’t work~!!!
…maybe oscillating meters don’t work well if the vibration isn’t calibrated properly~!
maybe instead of complaining about how SKINNY your irony meter package is…
you should accept it~!!!
I wish you people would just ACCEPT skinny things for what they are~!
I think we’re being whooshed here, but if the OP is serious my only response is: :rolleyes:
You’ve probably got worms.
Omigod…
I can totally see where you’re coming from…
Even though I’ve never been fortunate enough to relate…
I think some people think it’s okay to tell someone they’re skinny…
Because, like someone else said, it’s usually considered a compliment…
I’m sure they don’t mean anything by it!!!
Oy. Methinks you should lurk a bit more to learn how to avoid composing painful-to-read posts such as this one…
I was going to point out that they’re right next to each other and she probably accidently mashed on the buttons, but shit, that’s a lot of mashes.
iampunha, I didn’t mean the word bulk like that…it pisses me off that you’re so overly sensitive…picking apart my word choice like that…
Because you are super PC~!!!
Not only that…but you shoudn’t talk about packages like that…
I tell everyone my package is really big.
Why??? Because I would love it if my package were really big!!!
It hurts my feelings when you say the word “package”…without even thinking about how it makes me feel…
If I put my hand in my pants on the bus…I must be checking to see if its still there…everyone assumes my nuts are small!!!
I cant even take out my package in public without even staring at it… It’s so RUDE~!!!
I wouldn’t call you BIG BALLS if you wore really tight jeans…and sat with your legs apart…
while you were riding the bus…to go buy more cereal at the store…
because even people with small testicles…eat cereal…
Just once I’d like to say “Your BALLS are too big~!!!”
How would you like that?!?!?!?!?!?!
Giraffe who is SICK of rude iampunhas
Buttons?
How about keys.
[sub]buttonboard don’t have the same ring to it[/sub]
I tried to read the OP, but I kept seeing little dots in front of my eyes. I think I have fat poisoning.
You guys are wrong.
It’s some kind of extended haiku. A senseless crap haiku. Thus, a Crapku.
Well you know what Giraffe?
Maybe I’m tired, after that long post, of you talking about your nuts~!!
…you never thought, you small testicle animal with the long neck
(wonder what that’s compensating for…)
that we might get tired of you obsessing over how big your nuts are
…or how big someone else’s nuts are~!!!
Do you ever think someone else…
someone who had swollen balls and it hurt them to walk…
might get fed up hearing about how you wanted bigger balls~!
…maybe if you’d stop only thinking about ball size…for once…
you’d find some HAPPINESS in your life~!!
I may be super-PC…
but I don’t feel the need to talk about balls … as much as you do~!!!
I’ve been on both sides of this issue (the thin and the fat, not the rudeness) and I must agree that it hurts either way. People have NO DAMN BUSINESS commenting on someone else’s body unless they are that person’s doctor.
It is true that most of the time when people comment on thinness, they are actually intending it as a compliment, especially if they themselves are overweight. They’re most likely speaking out of envy.
I spent a couple of decades being so thin I would not wear short-sleeved shirts because my arms were like sticks. I ate whatever I wanted to and I never gained, although I dearly wished to because I hated having the figure of a scarecrow. Now, being many pounds overweight and having a horrible time trying to become at least somewhat more healthy, I would gladly be a stick person again.
I did get back at a rude person once, though. When I was in my 20s and very thin, some of my mother-in-law’s large friends would constantly comment on my size. “You’re so skinny! When are you going to gain some weight?” I was too insecure to give them the smart-ass answer they deserved. Decades later I encountered them again and one of them had the nerve to say how much I had changed. “Remember when we used to ask you when you were going to gain weight?” Being more secure and having had time to think up smart-ass answers, I responded, “Yes, that was very rude of you. You used to hurt my feelings all the time. And now that I’m 50 pounds overweight, you’ve managed to do so again.” There was complete dead silence while that sank in. None of them had the grace to apologize, though.
Anyway, Sandi, welcome to the SDMB, regardless of the unorthodox spacing in your OP.
Don’t pay any attention to the rude people who make unkind comments about your weight. As previously said, they are most likely jealous and have no idea they are hurting your feelings. Consider yourself in the same category as people who are 6 foot 6 and have to hear, “Gosh, you’re really tall!” all the time. As if they didn’t know.
If you know that you are healthy, don’t worry about your currently-perceived lack of girth. I don’t know how old you are, but you seem rather young. Most likely in a few years your metabolism will change naturally and you will gain. There will come a time when your body is even more wonderful and the people who started out heavier will have turned into blimps, or will be working themselves to a frazzle trying to avoid that fate!
That’s just what I’m talking about!!!
YOU assume that…people with BIG BALLS have it hard…
But no one is always watching them…
Staring at their crotch…
Whispering about them… GET OVER IT!!!
Why don’t you just stop obsessing?!?!?!?!
If you want to see my tiny balls…you need to have $5…
That’s what it costs…
(For some reason…women almost never want to pay for it!)
And what … you think I post like this because I have huge balls…>???
I just have accepted the facts and I don’t hang on what other people think…
because I know who I am and I don’t need to use socks except on my feet~!
Maybe you should get over yourself … and realize that people with big or small balls … shouldn’t be mocked~!
Maybe you never thought you were slighting someone else by complaining about how small your balls are…but you should~!!
Maybe those women can either subscribe to this place…or pay to see your balls…
maybe … you should look at some other men’s balls … and find out … they get mocked too~!!!
This thread has more usage of elipses than I have even seen before. I’m partially blinded. That and I’m short winded, because I have to hold my breath as I scan over punctuation. I need to go lie down.
A question, ignoring for the moment the OP’s circular logic and brain-hurting typing style… Is there some place where they actually put your weight on your driver’s license? In PA, the only physical characteristics that are listed are height and eye color – things like hair color and weight seem to me to be far too easy to change. I’m honestly curious, do they include weight on DL’s in other states?
When did it become acceptable for anyone to comment on the personal appearance of others, except favorably and even dishonestly in a pinch?
Did the rules for basic courtesy change and the poopyheads didn’t tell me?
I can see how our ludicrously weight-obsessed society might consider thinness a compliment but it’s still a personal comment.
Other people aren’t around as decorative objects for our evaluation.
Shit, I’m sounding like a meth-addled Miss Manners.
Now let’s go back to talking about Giraffe’s balls.*
Rules suspended purely for the purposes of discussion.
I could have sworn they used to have this on NJ drivers’ licences, but I just checked mine and it isn’t there. I would not be surprised if that was once the case here, though.
I’ll skip commenting on sandi’s unfortunate presentation and just say amen.
I’d like to gain another twenty pounds, but no change in diet has had any noticeble effect.
On the one side, this has given me a certain amount of sympathy for overweight folks who get exasperated with people blithely telling them to “just watch what you eat, it’s not that hard!” I think people who are happy with their natural weight think fat folks must be gorging themselves and thin folks must be starving themselves.
On the other hand, I’d like to gouge out the eyes of the people who think it’s okay to comment on my weight nearly every damned day. “Where do you sit? Most people sit on their ass. Where do you sit?” Haw. “Don’t go outside, there’s a bit of a wind.” Haw. Haw.
What’s really galling is how huffy people get when you turn it around. I worked with a guy who would never observe me eating at lunch or on break without commenting. “I see you eat, but I wouldn’t believe it.” “Where do you put it?”
Now, this guy was a big guy. Braces and a belt big. He was fat, not to put too fine a point on it. One day, after he saw me eating a brownie and asked if I was going to run to the bathroom to yack it up afterwards, I got fed up (so to speak) and said, “Oh, have another jelly doughnut, you fat fuck.”
He turned red and I soon found myself called on the carpet over it. “G**** is sensitive about his weight, Larry. You just can’t say things like that.” Well, he wasn’t very fucking sensitive about my weight. What’s sauce for the skinny goose is fucking well sauce for the foie gras, as far as I’m concerned. One comment after a fucking years-long pattern of harrassment and he runs to management. (Barrel-shaped management, as it happened.) To get my own back I’d have to had implied that he was hoarding food every time I saw him raise a fork to his mouth. “Geez, man-- I don’t see you eating much more than anyone else, but you sure are fat! Do you have big bucket of Crisco and icing-sugar hidden under your desk?” Haw. Haw. Haw.
Well, at least the cunt stopped giving me grief after that one slap. God knows that hundreds of scowls failed to penetrate.
If only there was some way to reasonably deal with the hundreds of one-offs I get from people that I don’t know well enough to insult horribly.
Georgia does and Louisiana did, but I don’t know if they still do.
Is there some place where they actually put your weight on your driver’s license?
West Virginia does and also Kentucky. Ironic considering WV has one of the highest obesity rates in the nation. You’d think we’d get off our fat asses and protest
I always make sure to tell a big FAT lie, though Last time it was a 115 pound lie. The DMV doesn’t care. They just want a number.
I think next time I’m gonna go for the gold and tell them that I weigh 130 and watch them decide whether or not to call me on it or just write it down.
