I went to a car boot sale this morning and was just browsing on a stall with a rail of clothes.

The woman whose stall it was came over to me and said 'I've recently lost lots of weight. My old clothes will be perfect for you'. This woman was a bigger size than me after losing her weight, and she started sifting through a box of clothes and getting them out. They were probably double my size.

I said 'No thanks, they won't fit me' and she started saying that she thought they'd fit me perfectly.

I just glared at her and walked off. Why would someone do this? I've got a history of eating disorders and low self esteem so it probably upset me more than it would upset someone else.

This is the second time this sort of thing has happened to me in a few months; the first time I was browsing in a charity shop and the woman who worked there said she didn't think the section I was looking at would fit me and directed me to a section with bigger sizes.

I could tell that she was being unkind, as she was smirking when she said it. I'm a size 8 currently and saw that one of the dresses she tried to foist on me was a 22.
That sounds rather ... unbelievable. But on mumsnet everyone likes a thread to froth about and there’s plenty of frothing on this one.
