I am sorry that you had to endure such rotten treatment. I would be diplomatic about your response and just let her know that comments like that are rude, inappropriate, degrading and a form of harrassment. Look her in the eyes and let her know that…
I love this list. Have found that this is what I do now. Promptly, without censor because you are a person who can handle a confrontation, it's been in your mind all your life anyway, just let it out..... kindly with no malice, directly, meeting the…
So, FB, why is it that women who eat like Spartans are the only ones that you can have intercourse with?
And, why are you assuming that all fat people are gluttons? Eating only 100 extra calories a day (a beer) would cause people to slowly and stea…
Personally that is unprofessional of them and its harassment I would take it to the higher ups. Would they do that to a patient????? If your as popular as you mentioned then the higher ups will probably take that under consideration that you have th…
I think telling someone they hurt your feelings is a fantastic response. What can they possibly say to that, really, and not come of as even more of a jerk than they already do?
In response to comments such as "you're fat" or "wide load" or whatever, I have been know to respond with things like "THANK YOU SO MUCH! You know, I was just wondering this morning if I were fat, and wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing it up for me!"…
This is a great response! Do you know the one thing that I have NEVER said to offensive comments? "That offends me." Or, "That hurts my feelings." I have never said either of those things--and I'll wager that neither have many others.
WOW I did not know that about the sur. gen. I will have to look it up!
As to your post about your colleague: You are kind and wise. I would count it as an honor to have you for my nurse, let alone friend. You still show empathy to someone who has no…
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. SHE WAS OF COLOR AND ....GET THIS.....OVER WEIGHT HERSELF! SHE IS GOING TO BE RETIRING SOON AND SHE IS AFRAID THAT I MIGHT GET HER INTO TROUBLE WITH OUR BOSS AS SHE HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH HER REMARKS. SO I AM…
First, I am sorry that happened to you. It is not only wrong, but indefensible. How dare they think it is ok to make remarks about you and all laugh, and then expect you to just forget about it. You are right. If they did it to a person of color, or…
Hi. I'm new to this site, saw your post, and wanted to jump in.
That was a cruel comment and behavior on the part of your coworker(s). I'm so sorry; no one should have to deal with that, and you are right to feel angry/hurt/offended.
I used to kee…
THNK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF REPLIES AND ALL OF THEM ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED AT THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR ME. I KNOW WHERE I CAN COME FOR SUPPORT AS PEOPLE WITH OUR PROBLEM DO NOT GET NEAR THE SUPPORT THAT WE NEED. THEY DON'T…
I think I would remind the person that comments about one's body could be construed as sexual harrassment, smile, and ask her if that's what she intended. Remind her that they could be reported to Human Resources and ask her if that's what she would…
