Today Arlene who is a size 6/8 went to a store. Arlene was wearing a light weight jacket and was looking thru the blouse section of a department store: A heavyset girl by the name of Erica (Arlene asked her name) was there looking thru the same rack.Erica: ?This blouse will fit you? (She said this to Arlene)Arlene: ?Thanks? Arlene looked inside the blouse saw it was size 10, got a little upset.Arlene: ?When you took the blouse out did you look at the garment or the size?Erica: ?I just saw it wasn?t my size?Arlene: ?Because I am a size 8? (Arlene said this kind of low)Erica ?These blouses run small I take a size 20 but I also get a size 22?Arlene: ?Just out of curiosity what size do you think I am?Erica: ?You look like a size 6/8.Then they parted company but then bumped into one anotherArlene: ?What size did you say you thought I am?Erica: ?Definitely a size 6/8.?Of course Arlene called me and told me the story and asked me if she could accept the fact that Erica thinks Arlene is a size 6/8. And I told her yes she can accept it. MY Question: Do you agree/concur with me
Jane and work
By: voterperson | 03-06-2008
This happened in 1987 when my friend Jane was at work. Jane was talking to Nancy and Bob (one of her seven bosses). Bob: ?Nancy you are skinny?Jane: ?What about me?Bob: ?Jane you are fat, Nancy is skinny?(Bob knows Jane is very obsessed with weight)Later on Jane thinks Bob said to her that he was only kidding. And she DOES Know for a fact that her bosses always said ?Jane you eat to live, we live to eat?Any way in 1987 Jane was taking massive doses of vitamins and minerals and she thinks she blew up like a balloon.Even though Jane has an excellent memory in this case Jane cannot remember if the incident with Bob is real or she imagined it. So Jane called me and asked me what I thought and I told her the following: No one would flat out tell someone they are fat unless it was a joke. They might say something like you know you are a little bit overweight or something a bit more polite. Jane the incident could be real because you did say Bob told you he was clowning around. Also guys like to annoy girls and play on their sensitivitiesSo my questions: Do you agree/concur with me, and why or why not -details please?
