Bit embarrassing … or am I being over sensitive?

OP posts:

Just can't imagine how that conversation even goes.
I ve never moved a colleague s coat or peered at it and felt the need to announce "omg you take a size 22" or "size 4 God you're skinny".

How was it said?

Why would anyone need to call out the size?

If you needed to check who the coat belonged to surely you’d just describe the colour, fabric & style?

Oversensitive, it's just a number, and unless they are blind, surely they'd have a good idea what size you are anyway?

Exactly. Whether you're a size 8, 16 or 24, if people are able to see you then they can see what size/shape you are!

Oversensitive (I’m assuming it was something like “whose coat is this? Jigsaw, size 16?” Not “omg did you know howemb’s coat is a size x?”

Sizes aren’t emotionally laden for some people. They’re just numbers.

I think it depends on the context. Was it in a sneery way?

Hard to say really.

I wouldn't give a shite but maybe some others would?

To be fair, you could've written your OP on the back of a fag packet so maybe a bit of context might help?

Was it done to be mean?

ZekeZeke · 15/03/2025 15:21

Well what exactly did they say?
