Nailed Any Chance Of A Tip
(My mother and I are getting pedicures together at one of our favorite nail salons after not having them done for a while. My mom has struggled with her weight for years and is understandably sensitive about it. We’ve just sat down and the technicians have come over to start our pedicures when this occurs.)
Technician: “Do you have any medical conditions?”
Mom: “None that are relevant to this, no. Thanks for asking.”
Technician: “Really? Not diabetic?”
(I look over, shocked a bit at the gall of this woman, and waiting to see if my mother wants to just leave the shop.)
Mom: *amazingly keeping her cool* “Nope. Just fat. Thanks.”
(If someone says that they don’t have a relevant medical condition — the first time we’d ever been asked something like that anywhere, ever — don’t push them! No one is going to forget they have diabetes and then remember when you suggest that they might.)
