Words, comments, greetings you hate(d) to hear?
When I was at my highest weight one thing I always hated was when people called me big guy...
"What's up, big guy?"
"How's it going, big guy?"
At 5' 9" I'm far from tall and I definitely wasn't looking like bodybuilder back then, so it felt like a nicer way of saying "fat guy". More often than not I heard it from people I knew quite well who I'm certain didn't mean to be cruel by saying it, but the words bothered me nonetheless.
How about you? Are there things you hear (or heard) from other people that make you cringe?
