[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I were sitting in a restaurant one night and these two drunk losers were sitting at the table next to us.  Midway through the meal one guy leaned over and tapped me on the shoulder and said, "you're about, what, 135?"  And then they both laughed hysterically.  I was a size 8-10 at the time, which I thought was just fine, but this really gutted me.  So humiliating.[/quote]
and DH did what??????????????????????????[/quote]

He couldn't hear the comment over all the noise (we were at Orleans House in Rosslyn) and had no idea what was going on.  I rushed out and had tears in my eyes by the time we got to the car.  I told him what happened and he ranted the whole way home about what d-bags they were.  He had me laughing eventually but it didn't take the sting out of it much, to be honest.

Wow, I haven't thought about it in such detail in quite some time.  Still makes me feel terrible.[/quote]

I seriously have no idea what was so insulting about this.  Weird, kinda rude, but I can't figure out what's insulting.  So what if they were trying to guess your weight?  Just how incredibly insecure are/were you?

Added to the fact that you still feel terrible about it, it's just really strange.[/quote]

Wow, a lot of people have chimed in to say maybe I misinterpreted it.  Maybe I did!  But the guy said it in a very sarcastic way and they both just laughed in my face after the remark.  My interpretation was that they very clearly knew I weighed more than 135 (i was about 160, if it matters) and thought it was hilarious to shame me for being chubby. [/quote]

That's because the way you wrote it, and the fact that you left out some detail (like the fact that you are chubby) didn't make it sound bad--or at least vague.  If you were 160 and chubby, yes, they were clearly being jerks.  I actually weigh around 135, so I would have been puzzled, and annoyed....hence not understanding what was so bad about it.[/quote]
