Attempting humor or just all out rude?

So - I just got done donating blood and was sitting there eating my 1 snack that i grabbed (a nature valley oats n honey bar)... she walks over, grabs 2 (nutter butter AND oreos) and then asks me... 'so do they stop you if you try to eat 10 of these things?'

:laugh:

I told her I had no idea because I have never tried that.

She stopped talking to me. :ohwell:

    It doesn't sound like she meant, "let me ask the fat lady a rude question". It sounds like she wanted 10 of them and would have said the same thing to someone who weighs 90 lbs.

    Don't you think?

    Yup, that's what I read it as.

    Rude, obnoxious, and inconsiderate to say the least. I donate blood all the time and I rarely take anything. I'll take a bottled water or banana. I've never taken two and hate people that abuse volunteerism of any kind.

    I tend to be an optimist, but I think she meant "you" as in "people"... she wanted to take 10, but I don't think she was implying that you'd had more than one! I often find myself saying "you" when when I'm speculating about something!

    Did she give you the 'stankeye' when she asked?

    i think she was just making lite conversation and would have said that to anyone that happened to be sitting there. I don't think she meant it personally

    Yea this. That sounds totally innocent, and methinks you are hearing it in a way she totally didn't mean.

    I don't see it as being rude. Maybe she was trying to be funny and it just doesn't come off as too funny.

    Sounds like perhaps she was kidding. . .but you gave an honest answer. . .

    It depends on the tone of voice that was used. . I personally wouldn't of taken 3 snacks, but that is me. .. you just get your nice package of cookies and a drink and chill for 15mins.

    I'm confused about why this was even given a second thought....***thinking...thinking...nope, it's a non issue***

    I vote to lighten up, pup.

    Huh? No - I did not answer her rudely.

    I was probably being overly sensitive. History, perspective, and all that.
