Your Mouth Jiggles Too Much
My coworker has recently started a “weight loss shot” and can’t stop talking about it. I am 5’6” tall and 120 pounds. Despite being a healthy weight, working out, and watching what I eat and drink, people seem to always want to pitch their weight loss aides. I’ve heard it so many times that I don’t even bother being nice about my rejections.
Coworker: “It’s great. Like, mind-blowingly easy to lose weight. [My Name], if you want I can get you—”
Me: “No.”
Coworker: *Uncomfortable laugh* “Well, I mean, you’re not fat, but your legs jiggle, so—”
Me: “No.”
Coworker: “I’m not being rude. I’m just—”
Me: “You are.”
She puts her hand on my shoulder.
Coworker: “No, listen. I’m—”
I grab her hand and look her in the eye.
Me: “You’re trying to tell me I need something I don’t need, nor do I want. I’ve told you no repeatedly, and you keep pushing. It is rude.”
She walked away in a huff, but she never tried to tell me to lose weight again, so it’s all good!
