We went to the mall & I was planning to use my Victoria's Secret gift card that I got from my husband for V-day - on the way there she said, "Now we need to talk about what I saw on Oprah and how confidence in yourself affects how you look, it's all in your mind." (I am somewhat overweight) I told her that I was fine with myself and not to worry about it. Then walking inside the mall she said "I have to get this girl who works in there to help you, she's so cool." I said I didn't want anyone to help me, I just wanted to look around.
So we get inside and she sees her girl and says, "go over and ask her to help you." I said, "no, I don't want to." So she walks over to the lady and says, "can you help her?" and I said, "no, no thank you I just want to shop by myself." But she STILL doesn't let it go and continues with, "come over here and ask her." I said, "no." She said it AGAIN!! I said, "no thanks, nevermind, I will shop later or online." and walked out. My friend tried to call me back in the store!! So I am standing in the hall feeling like a goofball saying, "Susan, come on I don't want to shop there right now." So she comes out in the hall and wants to discuss it, asking me, "what did I do?" I told her that I was an adult and if I want to ask someone to help me I will, if I do not, I will not, and she shouldn't have kept it up. So then she started crying because she made me feel bad. Oh, brother.
I will admit that she had a couple of glasses of wine before we left but she does that regularly and seemed like her normal self.
I think I was partially self-conscious because of my current weight but then to add insult to injury we had to call attention to it and ask the lady to help me so she could show me where the larger stuff was? It was all mixed in together so she would have had to walk around helping me look at each item. Grrrrr.
We are both around 40 years old and she usually doesn't act like this but she made me feel as if she thought I was incompetent. She wouldn't stop being upset over the fact that she had upset me, and kept asking what she had done wrong, even after I tried to explain it to her. So finally I just said it was my own issue with my weight and that she didn't do anything wrong....sheesh.  What do you think happened there??? |
