To be embarrassed my colleague announced my coat size to whole office

[howemb]

Bit embarrassing … or am I being over sensitive?

It’s amusing to me. Particularly the rando who keeps replying to me asking why I am obsessed.

I cut size labels out of my clothing especially jackets coats cardis and I have been size 10-18 back to 10 up down since having kids. I would have been annoyed if someone blurted it out - any size!! I would say if OP was self conscious she would have cut them out I think it’s more of the way her colleague blurted that out with ‘that would fit my mum’ either meaning that’s small for a 22 or just complete word vomit

Sorry OldCottageGreenhouse but it has been a quiet day at my work and the boss is away, my colleagues have been just as fascinated with the large pelvis as me (well they wanted to know what i was laughing at so hard I was almost crying when i was reading the 'fun fact' teambuilding message). We've been reading up on it all day!
Best you don't tell your colleague I think . . .

It depends if it was meant in a malicious way or if they are just generally a big mouth and an idiot. But yeah, don’t let this spoil your day. Better to tell them to mind their own business.

Yes it was just plain rude to announce it to the world like that.

You’ve left out too many details for this to be someone else’s fault alone.

She did tell us. The coat was on the back of her chair. Colleague who is noted for this kind of thing looks at the label, announces the size to the rest of the room, with the comment that it would fit her mum. What’s that if not being an arsehole ?

Exactly as you intended. 🙄

Perhaps you should say something like ‘oh, clearly size is important to you, then are you not worried about your own genetics?’
