To those who quit smoking and become total a-holes

I should not have to hide in my office all day to avoid your bit**y attitude.…

TOO BIG, TOO THIN, TOO LEAN, TOO FAT...
For the record, someone will ALWAYS say that you are too big, too thin, too lean, too fat, too whatever. In my opinion, they are too concieted to think that their opinion is going to change our behavior. A person with confidence won't be deterred! Keep after it!!
