[quote=Anonymous]I have gained weight over the last 20 years. I used to be very skinny and now I’m overweight- size 12-14.

We were at a family friend’s party, we don’t see them often. There was an elderly man / friend of my parents there who hasn’t seen me in many many years, since I was 23. I’m 44 now.

He knows my sister well. He came up to us and asked who I was. My sister said that I am her sister. He said “ oh, I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you.” My sisters husband starts laughing and says “ why didn’t you recognize her?”  The man said, “well it’s been over 20 years.”

I KNEW my BIL thought the guy didn’t recognize me because I’m fatter. He wanted the guy to say it. The guy was very classy and didn’t catch on to what my BIL was trying to do. I truly feel he just didn’t remember or recognize me.

I said to my sister later, why did he say that? He obviously wanted to crack a joke about how fat I am. My sister said yes that is true but he thought he was being funny and he is not funny.

Is he a jerk ? [/quote]
