I remember being about 14, I was a size 10, so not in any way fat when I look back at myself. I remember once watching a dieting show with my mum and her female friend. The woman on it was obese and was looking back at old photos basically saying how she had always been overwight (about a size 16, nothing extreme) and my mum's friend said "so she wasn't too bad then, she is about your size" I was mortified as I had always had a complex (unnecesarilly) about my weight. My mum didn;t say anything

Strange how our parents generation would make these comments, thankfully many (but not all) parents wouldn’t dream of being vocal to their family and friends. It’s such a cheap shot and whilst other prejudices against people seem to have evolved , jokes and shaming about weight are still around within the public forum.
I think because as a society fat people are seen as lazy and greedy and they have made themselves fat. So strange we have never moved on. By “we” I mean society as a whole.
Bloody doctors surgery . Not prescribing me what I asked for .. it’s a pain killer not heroin ffs .. now I’m bloody caller 24 ..that’s an hour on the phone I won’t get back
And it’s always tit music too

Did it break in with something like, 'please continue to hold the line, your call is important to us and we will answer as soon as an operator is available,' every so often?
I’m pissed off with myself for not doing any work today when I’ve got a big to-do list!
Yes !
literally word for word
Wow... that is so so hurtful. Especially since your mum said nothing! Sorry you had to experience that, bullying a child is so so low!
Same!!
They say things come in threes, I fell over yesterday, got tit on this morning and now I've just laddered my tights. 
yeah, my whole mum's family is totally messed uo about food tbh, anyway the woman in question's daughter ended up with pretty severe anorexia years later so I assume she was like this with everyone. I would be LIVID with anyone if they spoke to a child I had like this though
I hope it was 'only' by a bird!
Shamina Begum pissed me off today... she made her bed she can lie in it for me.

Being on neverending furlough with only a few hours working from home every week. And still not sure if I'll have a job to go back to because my line manager is a teasing witch and likes to play me as if she wants me to beg to keep my job
I'm just having one of those days where I feel invisible and like I don't matter to anyone. Like if I died nobody would even notice.
I know it's not true and people do care about me but it's just a tit feeling.

Hahaha yes!! I’d be more than pissed off if it were a humanI hope it was 'only' by a bird!
Oh no
I got pooed on by a bird on my lunch break once, right at the entrance to a shopping centre in my face. A seagull dropped an almighty “bread bomb” (as my vet calls them). And another time walking the dog speaking to another walker, heard a loud noise and my foot was covered 
they’re the only time it’s happened and within months of each other so I was para around birds for ages after 
I have been waiting 3 weeks to find out if I had the job I interviewed for.. a girl in my team rings me over zoom ‘have you heard back yet’ I said no.. she said ‘oh I’ve got the job’

Thank you lovely, but I'm sorry you can relate. I hope things get better for you too.I could’ve written this myself.

said family member from above has spent the evening belittling the fact that I am struggling. It’s 14 weeks since my dad became ill and subsequently died. Hubby is still really poorly too and today I headed to breaking point. Said something on FB about not coping and thanking a friend who realised and stepped in with a listening ear. Instead of sending hugs, they told me I had it easy, that I didn’t know what life was like and that I should pull myself together. It’s just as well they live far away that I can’t go and throw rotten tomatoes at them!My husband hasn’t been well. During he was sent home from work as he had turned yellow. I managed to get him to the GP that afternoon. 21 hours later the GP calls to say that he needs to be seen in hospital. He’s had scans and tests. They’ve found a growth.
His consultant suggests he meets with him and they get me in to go through everything.
I was in the bath at the time.
So while I was blow drying my hair, I could feel my phone vibrating. It’s not hubby, it’s not the kids. It’s people are are also known to some family members. Sending me messages that they are sorry to hear about the cancer.
Turns out a family member has been told that he has a growth and seems to have loved the drama of telling everyone. They are now in a huff after I told them they had no right to share this news and it’s not their news to share as it’s a growth and as I had only found out an hour before I wasn’t happy with them. They’re now in a huff with me not realising that we haven’t had time to process things ourselves and didn’t want the world to know.
Hope you are ok? She sounds horrible.I have been waiting 3 weeks to find out if I had the job I interviewed for.. a girl in my team rings me over zoom ‘have you heard back yet’ I said no.. she said ‘oh I’ve got the job’
