After reading my friend Girl From Florida's post the other day, I had my own experience with unblievable rudeness. Yesterday, while shopping at Target, I ran into a man I used to work with. We were always close (he's an old family friend) and I was delighted to see him because it's been almost a year. He commented several times that I looked great and has lost weight, which made me feel good. A girl always loves to hear that she looks thin. :-) Anyway, he was with his long-time girlfriend, who I've never really cared for. She a braggart and she says everything she thinks. When I hugged her goodbye, she said, "nope. You're the same. You haven't lost weight."
Ok. I should've responded with something along the lines of "bitch" or "just because you're old and your boyfriend says I've lost weight . . ." I don't know what her deal was, but it was uncalled for. I have known her boyfriend since I was a child. He could be my grandfather-- in fact since I lost mine a few years ago, I've told him he's like my grandfather now. No need to be jealous and try to hurt my feelings.
James didn't hear her comment because he was talking to my friend, but when I told him, he said that she had commented to him how much weight he had gained, which he definitely hasn't-- at all! He's completely average.
What's wrong with people? If she thinks she's so wonderful, maybe she should try having some cooth. She'd get more people to like her that way.

I think that (although it is a little frustrating) it makes us look like the better person since we DIDN'T say anything... hopefully both horrible girls will think about their catty comments and feel badly. If anything, I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around. Maybe one day, they will gain a ton of weight and we'll smile sweetly at them and think evil thoughts and they will just KNOW we are remembering how they behaved.
Ha!! :)
xoxoxo
Oh my goodness. That's one of the rudest comments that I've ever heard of! I hate it when people say hurtful things like that. Her comment totally would have set me off. I'm sorry, Hannah. Blow it off, I guess.
