The MOST uncouth man I've met
07.24.04 (7:09 am) [edit]
Ok so I've just had the worst meal I think I've had YET.
I went to chow alone because I had to man the watch while others ate. I sat down at an empty seat next to an E6. i asked him to pass me some napkins. He did and asked me where I work and my name. Seems innocent enough right? So we chat a little bit, he tells me he's been here for 2 weeks. We keep talking and he asks if he can tell me a joke? I say, sure. He goes" I only tell this one to pretty women". I was like ok gee, whatever, and he goes on to tell me this stupid joke about rather being pissed off than pissed on, yada yada. So then he asks me what I do after work, so I told him talk w/ co-workers, read, sleep. He asks maybe sometime we could watch a movie because he really likes BIG WOMEN and finds them attractive. I said "EXCUSE ME???"
So the asshole repeats himself. Now the jerkoff was totally sincere, which is all well and good that he likes big women but WTF he doesn't know me and dosn't know that I'm not at ALL comfy w/ my weight. I said I don't think so. He asks why not, and I state well first of all I am married, hence the ring on my finger. He just says oh...
by then someone else I know LUCKILY shows up and sits down. I was SO MAD I couldn't finish my meal, and left. Now I know i'm sensitive about my weight, but I'm sorry THAT WAS OVER THE TOP!!!!
I'm going to go crawl in a hole now. :x

You have every right to be upset abt the assholes approach, but I will say this much... you need to find a way to address how you feel abt your weight! Hope you feel better hun :)

You aren't big! What a wanker. Obviously brainwashed by pop culture waifs with no boobs or ass. You are normal - he's certainly isn't

Argh.... Remind the dweebs that your father in law is an officer, and is veryyyy friendly with congressmen/ladies. And people wonder why I have never complained about gays in the military. I always had more problems as a commander from the so called NORMAL dudes. Just fries my bacon. I am so steamed that a AMERICAN soldier thinks it is ok to just start hitting on the babes". Hell, that is what the Taliban was all about, women as property. You may share my opinion with said numnuts.

Oh by the way, the supply train seems to run thru this S4 shop, you seem to think that the S1 shop is the one that picks out the Triscuts, Garlic,#12B4, Dinner Snack, one ea.
lol
Talked with Tim today, he sounded up. The dogs are stumped about the fence. Little things can make that boy so happy....lol

Take care, be safe.

Hmm, inform the "Gentlemen" that you have a jealous husband that likes guns and has several friends named General... :)

In the meantime Ignore the Ahole and know that the come ons and cheesy approaches were bound to happen. Some guys just dont care if a woman is married or what. No ring or blatant queus will stop the Hormonus Erectus types.

I love you,
Tim

Days like this really suck! I know you're going to need time to get past the initial pain and sort it all out for yourself (in your own way). Just a suggestion, one of the things I do is use the anger and hurt to my advantage. Once you've settled down from the initial sting; Let it motivate you, burn it in your mind, fill your mind with burning desire (no not the killing kind, lol). Let it drive you on that extra step on the run, on the next push up, on the next sit up, on the next strike at the punching bag etc etc... Know that your loved ones support you on your journey and and especially during hardships as you move towards your higher place or goal.

Don't let the negativity of your detractors pull you down; rather, let it push you forward.

Hope this helps..

I've never walked a mile in your shoes, but I'll walk beside you every step of the way.. (Tomorrow, I'm dedicating my daily 4 mile ruck walk in your honor)

You handled that situation a lot nicer than most would! I would ripped his head off and stuffed it up his ass! No crawling in holes you are working on the issue. Just keep going with the gym. Watching treats. No quick fixes because they don't last long term. Gee do I sound like a MOM? Love and kisses

Well, I'm a little slow in responding to this one - and I have to say, Major Dad made some good points. NONE of us likes to think the attraction we have for others is purely what they see (so, like, this guy would STOP being attractive if his chunky lady love lost weighte???) His come on line (which I'm sure he thought was really suave) could easily be translated to " I really like ladies with litte/big noses" "...blue eyes/brown eyes"... whtaeve. Like any of that has anything to do with who and what you are!!! Remember the statistic I gave you about how many people are so incompetant they don't even know it??? - you just met another one of them. His social incompetance is even lower than your buddie's work competence.
So there!!!!
Love, Mom
