- Add a comment
- Go to THINGS PEOPLE SAY & WHAT I THINK
What about Have a Nice Day? As opposed to what? Shouldn't we say have a nice life? Actually I think people only say that when they are breaking up or something meaningless..I know this sounds really bad, but sometimes when people say that I just want to choke them!

My personal favorite?
"You look great for your age!" Oh really? And what if I were forty -- would I look like a bag of smashed ass?? As for the skinny comments - people do not realize that these comments can be just as hurtful as someone calling them fat. I am 5'10" and weigh 120. I have the metabolism of the energizer bunny and when I get stressed, as I have been for the past two months, I lose even more weight -- but I do not stop eating....this does not stop friends and relatives from saying, "you need to eat, you are losing too much weight". ONE OF THESE DAYS ALICE, I am going to summon up the nerve to tell them they should STOP eating because they are gaining too much weight and see how my insensitive comment makes THEM feel.
