julie- you're right. i'm not saying i don't appreciate the intent. i do. a lot.

i forgot one- the time the bus couldn't come get me because of an accident & i called work to tell them i'd be late cause i had to walk about a mile to the next bus stop. once i got to work all sweaty and exhausted my boss tells me- oh, so-and-so offered to come pick you up but I told her no because you need the exercise.

Lizzie, I'd have gotten fired that day!

and my now ex told me something similar to what someone here posted. when I was 7 months pregnant with HIS child I was complaining about how big I looked and he held my hand, looked me earnestly in the face and said "You used to be cute." like that was some kind of consolation.

I could have KILLED him.

Eeesh, I guess we get why he's your ex...........

I cannot believe some of these! People need to think before they speak.

I share my office with the department secretary. Last week, another director came in and said to the secretary, "Some days I wish I had your job," as if the secretary had it so easy. She even repeated it after the secretary said "What?" so it's not like it came out wrong.

Finally I said "Trust me, I don't think you do" after hearing what she has to deal with all day.

a friend of mine was in the lingerie section of a department store which i will never shop at again - and she was just browsing and killing time while i was trying on clothes in the plus size dept. a clerk came up to her and suggested she'd find things that would suit her more over there- and directed her to the plus sized clothing! my friend is not plus sized, but she is probably an XL in regular sizes and this store doesn't sell lingerie in the plus sized dept at all. I was so furious I left without buying anything and I'll never shop there again. My poor friend was almost in tears over it.

A couple of years ago I went to CVS to pick up some Sudafed and the girl at the pharmacy counter had to get my drivers license to write down the information. She looked at my ID, looked back up at me and said "You're only eighteen? Wow, I'm 26 and I thought you were older than me! Hahaha!"

That day I started looking for grey hairs and crows' feet... Haha.
