To say 'actually yes, I was offended'

[paisleymeadow]

At work today someone (not a colleague - client) said "I don't know if it's your uniform but you look as if you've put weight on."

I wasn't sure what to say so I just sort of made a 'hmm' noise.

She then kept saying she hadn't meant to offend me

I didn't say the above but I wish I had - wi have been U? :)

I don't comment on anyones weight, unless its to say something nice. It's a very sensitive issue for a majority of women (those feeling overweight and those feeling underweight)

Totally agree. I never comment on weight.

I really dislike people who use it as a means of upsetting someone, like my ex-colleague used to do.

"No offence meant"..........
"Aye, but plenty taken" would be my reply.
