    When I was bigger I went to a salad bar and ran into an old lady who thought it would be cute to say "I'm so happy to see you eating a salad" I responded with "I am so happy you made it off the titanic"

    LOL!!!!! That's priceless.
    I like that one

    92 or not I would have given him a piece of my mind!
    There is never an excuse for being rude.

    Yes, there is. It is called dementia. Should research it sometime.
    I am disappointed at the lack of compassion on here for a very elderly man, who most likely has limited time left and who probably has not got all of his mind intact.

    +1000 There is little humanity anymore. It seems the times we live in now its all about "me". OP is bothered that a 92 year old man made a somewhat rude comment and hurt her feeling. People come in here now and pile on and no one seems at all concerned that there may be a logical reason for his behavior other than being rude. But hey, I guess it feels good to be an internet baddass and tell everyone how you would set that 92 year old gentleman straight. Carry on, this just is just conformation that common sense is a super power.

    For some people, the frontal lobe is the first to go and it's the bit that controls impulses. We all have impulses to say things that would be considered rude, but our frontal lobes keep us from engaging the mouth.

    I know when my frontal lobe starts to go, there's going to be trouble... :ohwell:
    Lol!!!!!!!!

    He was either always an A-hole (in which case he isn't worth listening to), or he's lost his filter due to declining mental function. I wouldn't get mad at him; I would feel sorry for him. :frown:

    ...I swear some people forget that cashiers are humans

    I swear some people forget that old people are humans, too.

    I have worked with people with of all abilities and disabilities, some just say what they think and aren't aware of how you will take it. What does it matter what others say to you?
    An old school yard saying..... sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me. You know you've lost weight and are doing great so what does it matter what some-one else, or even a complete stranger thinks and says!!!
    Just smile sweetly, wish them a good day and move on.

    Older people. Hope I never become one of 'em.

    I can't wait to be old and behave inappropriately and get away with it. This is me (courtesy of Purple Ronnie)

    When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
    With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
    And I shall spend my pension
    on brandy and summer gloves
    And satin sandals,
    and say we've no money for butter.
    I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
    And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
    And run my stick along the public railings,
    And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
    I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
    And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
    And learn to spit.
    You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
    And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
    Or only bread and pickle for a week,
    And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
    and things in boxes.
    But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
    And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
    And set a good example for the children.
    We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
    But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
    So people who know me
    are not too shocked and surprised,
    When suddenly I am old
    and start to wear purple!

    I know two women, ages 80 and 86, both fairly close relatives. Both will say anything in the world. The 80 year old out of confusion, and the 86 from being an old lady who likes everything her way. With both, you simply ignore it and move on.

    Next time say thank you and drop his change so he has to bend over and pick it up. That should present an oppurtunity to give it back to him. Good work and don't let rude ppl get you down. Celebrate what you have accomplished already.

    This is why I don't like people. (sarcasm, btw) My dog makes me feel appreciated everyday. Sometimes he's so happy to see me and loves me so much, he pees a little. I say, get yourself a doggie.

    Congrats on the weight loss!!!!!! :flowerforyou:




    Yeah agreed:

    A couple of years ago I was at a Pride parade, in a bra and a purple tutu( see profile pics) and roller skates I had tiara and septer and was running around : "dinging" people with my septer turning them into "fairies" for the day. I was having blast as was everyone around me. Some old man walked passed me and said. " you know your fat and should lose weight" and kept walking right by me. I stopped dead in my tracks and just looked him. I was so dumbfounded I didn't get a chance to answer back. That old man ruined my whole day. He literally" rained on my parade" I don't know why people think its ok to fat shame . Im better off with my dog. he loves me regardless of what I look like
