What the !@#$% are you complaining about? Yes, it was an acknowledgment of your weight, but you have mirrors, so it’s not like you were surprised. Now, as a fatso myself, I’d be uber grateful to have a larger, more comfortable chair. I’d have taken the offer with enthusiasm instead of getting all bent out of shape. Whoever suggested the switch was kind enough to not directly body shame you, but in truth, they may have also been diplomatically trying to keep the little office chair viable so they didn’t have to replace it too soon (good office chairs are pricey). Let’s just face facts here.
As a member of the hefty crowd, I say it’s stupid to pretend we’re just like regular folks. We aren’t. And we’re never going to get anything but hate from most of the congenitally skinny, so if someone is willing to politely accommodate our girth (for whatever reason we’re girthy), take it as a win.
