A friend and I walk and talk a couple of times a week. She's never had weight issues but she's always been supportive of me. Last week we were discussing some school stuff and she made a remark I just can't shake.
The short version is that her DS had an issue and instead of going to the first in line go-to person, she went over that person's head. When I asked why, her response was she and
DH don't care for said staff member. I said that the person had given me no reason to dislike her so until she does, I'm going to stay positive and assume she can handle it.
So here is the kicker...she looked kind of embarassed but finally said that the staff member was obese and she and
DH have little respect for her.
If she can't control herself and her own body, how could she possibly be competant in her position. I was literally speechless. There was a big long awkward pause.
I don't look at people that way. Geez, this friend and her
DH are screwed up in all kinds of ways but they are both thin. It hurt and it shocked me. WWYD? How would you react?
