As a person who is "overweight" now but was constantly criticized for being "too skinny" by my own family constantly as a kid (I was a little "underweight" before puberty), being called skinny is not always a compliment. It can leave you with lifelong body dismorphia just as much as being called fat can.
This. I'm slightly overweight now but was super skinny when I was younger. I'm way more comfortable in my own skin now than I was. When I was pregnant I had HG(excessive vomiting) and the amount of cruel comments I got about my weight had me crying all the time.
Just don't comment on other people's bodies at all.
For the Slim story: the real AH is the adult who refused to step in and told her to deal with it themselves.
Since they got KallmeKris on an episode, Smosh NEEDS to bring Hailee and Kendra for a Reddit episode!!!
Hey
Hey
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This would be so cool
Agreed
"Slim" story: NTA. Body shaming is body shaming. If the co-worker can't take it, she shouldn't be dishing it out. She's lucky that OP didn't "accidentally" douse her with cupcake batter for the repeated harassment.
I absolutely agree
Period.
I agree. Being called skinny can be just as traumatic as being called chunky.
Also, manager has left the business open for a workplace lawsuit. If they are informed that someone is uncomfortable with their coworkers actions towards them, the complaining employee can sue for a hostile work environment because the manager refused to intervene.
@@Riftsrunner yes I used to get picked on for being so skinny but nobody knew it was because of my eating disorder
So “slim” was pretty controlled - could’ve chosen far more offensive words (fatso…etc.). If anyone should apologize it’s the person who initiated the body objectification commentary.
As a paraplegic, Kendra’s comments about appreciating your health floored me. Lots of people aren’t that self aware.
I'm 50 years old and my body is feeling the effects of a lot of physical labor (bad knees, a bad shoulder, permanent nerve damage in my dominant hand and so forth), I have more facial scars than Freddy Krueger(long story) and I can feel my body breaking down further almost daily.
You should always appreciate your *current* health, as things usually tends to go downhill 😁
The true a$$hole in the cupcake story is the owner. It's the owners responsability to resolve conflicts the employees can't resolve themselves, even if it is "high school BS"
P.S. those were very cute tea and coffe mugs 🥰
Indeed. And if its "high school bs", then fire the OG. Why are you letting someone who starts "high school bs" be on your payroll, if you're that adverse to it?
As a person with a disability (I use a wheelchair) since birth I actually love questions. Nothing is too far for me, everyone is different I get that but I personally always encourage questions because questions breed an environment for learning and more learning means less ignorance
I agree with you fully, but people are different, some doesn't have your patience and willingness to educate, while some who ask don't have the social skills or respect towards the people who look a little out of the ordinary.
I've seen people completely without understanding the time or place asking something extremely intimate or people who ask a very simple question get chewed out for even asking.
It's good that people like you try to educate those who doesn't know or can't imagine what it's like to be even slightly different (like missing a single segment on a digit or even just have scars), because with more information and knowledge there's hopefully more understanding of the differences that bring challenges.
Same!
Also in a wheelchair and I agree 100%
I think it's a combination of age and culture. The younger generation are far more tip toe around people, but in the process they lose the ability to really get to know and understand things they may not understand, which is the leading cause to hate; fearing things you don't understand. Some cultures are also far mor open or closed about things. While some celebrate just being an open book for the most part, others believe those parts of themselves should only be shared with those they like or care about. It's really a matter of trying to understand the other person's perspective and most of the time offense can be entirely avoided.
I agree with your perspective about being open about things, but not everyone is willing or even capable because of life experiences.
That was my thinking as well. Depending on the phrasing, like perhaps asking first if the person minds you asking about the unexpected characteristic, then proceeding only if they've agreed it's okay with them, I feel like it shows you're interested in getting to know more about them. Sure, people are more than their body, but when a person displays a visibly different appearance than what is "normal", it's natural for others to be curious about it.
Re: Lady called "slim" - After all the proper steps (which she did), asking the other lady to stop, talking to manager, ect. I probably would have ignored the lady anytime she called me other than my actual name, and then acted (over-acted), confused. "What? Oh, I didn't know you were talking to me as that isn't my name. I only respond to [name]." But this tactic is VERY hard for a lot of people to pull off. It is like ignoring a ringing phone, we are social conditioned to respond to people talking to us.
The lady telling on the girl about the credit card could have been100% correct and the father might not have given his daughter permission to use it but she should have left it up to him to find out that she used it and punish her how he seen fit!! Life's lessons all the way around!!!
For "slim/chunky" I'd have said to the girl harassing her "I may be low on pounds, unlike you, but at least I'm not low on manners like you apparently are." and walked away and ignored anything else she said. Also not responded when she called you "Slim" and only respond to your name!
"Apparently manners and weight don't stay in same body" 😁
The story about the missing fingers actually brought a amile. My dad lost his left hand in an explosion in 1969, adults rarely mentioned it. The smile was because little kids,figure4 years old up tt 8 or 10 would just stare. When he caught them looking he would stick the nub at them and say you see what happens when you pick your nose, got a wide eyed response almost every time. I also remember the first time I saw him in the hospitle he held it up still bandaged; and said not if you get out of line I got something to poke you in the eye. (:
I used to be 485 pounds and was called Shamu,Orca,quarterback.... and years later got surgery and became anorexic and went down to 90 pounds and started being called slim,skinny minnie... And it bothered me just the same!!!! Anyway you look at it it's body shaming and it hurts!!!
Story 1, yes, Hailee, food will taste different for the cook than to everyone else because your sense of smell in particular adapts to the food scents and suppresses them, and since tasting food is like 80% smell, everything ends up tasting more bland.
Maybe you might like the Malicious Compliance stories better, they normally are about people asking others to do stupid things and getting the consequences of those stupid things. It tends to be funny. Always like your videos.
It always amazes me that people like "credit card lady" actually exist. She needs to go to school and take "Mind your own business 101".
Slim lady might have handled it better, but I'll bet she wasn't called slim again. Mission accomplished. She asked not to be called that and her request wasn't respected. She shouldn't have had to mention it more than once.
Awww I think it's sweet how much you two love each other. 😍❤️.
Also I couldn't stop laughing at Hailee's face @1:22 after Kendra kissed her. 😂😂😂
Last story is a classic "treat others like you want to be treated" and "don't deal what you can't take".
Judging by the reaction of "chunky", she obviously felt threatened by a slim person because of her own body insecurity; basically, she aggressively started calling her "slim" to preempt being called fat. Now of course that wouldn't have happened, but that's how scared human minds sometimes work.
Pretty much agree with you guys. Basically, either be kind or mind your own business. When someone won't stop attacking, you have to defend.
I've been called names both in a derogatory and non-derogatory way. The problem about the issue between the two coworkers was that you can't insist on giving anyone a nickname regarding their body the moment you meet them. Calling someone "slim" may or may not be rude, but the point is insisting on doing it just after you met. Once, during summer camp, I've been called "mozzarella" by a guy because I have a very pale skin. The guy who called me with this nickname was trying to be funny and over time I've realized that he really didn't mean to bully or harrass me, but this happened during a summer camp, with people I've just met so then I didn't take that as just a joke. Making fun of others is okay only as long as you know that that person won't get offended or feel hurt by your words.
Your pregnancy analogy reminds me of a post saying that "we're trying for a baby" is the same as saying "we're rawdogging on a regular basis."
Im a big guy and i say commenting on someone's weight is never ok no matter the size. Especially if someone straight out tells you to stop
We need more of these! I love it! Also unrelated, Hailey you are sooooooo pretty
OMG. 😂 This just happened while watching this video- “… baby gravy the turkey baster” COMMERCIAL. 🤣 Wait, WHAT?!? 🤣
Love the video you guys! Keep up the great content. Always be yourself no matter what other people think about you.

The differences in insights and opinions are so interesting, please continue making these!
Hey
Love aita videos!!! Yes they can make u angry, but they’re also entertaining imo. Hope u two do more! 🙏❤️
You guys are both Super rational. And level/fair Minded. And I honestly agree with your answers. Kendra seems to have a way to boil it all down to the essence of the correct response
You girls are not the assholes! I loves ya both! hugs to you and all on your channel !
I've been binge watching all of your videos on UA-cam because I can't just get enough of yall from tiktok😂 I love you both
Hey
"Because I have opinions, and I'm im going to share them" YASSSSSSS!!!! Barely into the video and Kendra's already cracking me up
Really enjoyed this video have a amazing weekend love u both ❤
Thanks for all the cute and refreshing content, videos, shorts and all the rest you do.
Wishing you both the best.
Thank you so much for the support 🌹
@@HaileeandKendraNo, thank you! :) for soo many smiles from your videos.
Woot, this is awesome love you gals
Hailee, Kendra, you need to do a podcast. I loved this video!!! I'd listen to you talk about things for hours ❤
KMK podcast would be awesome
hey, little of topic but when are you going live next bc I really enjoy interacting with such lovely people. i don't expect it to be to soon I just don't want to miss it!
thought I would say HI today instead of my usual 🥰🥰 comment & also to thank you for all the videos 🥰🥰
Hello!! 👋 and thank you so much for watching our content! 😁
The thing is thou, it's to each their own about disability or differences questions, I would honestly rather people ask to understand why I'm 26 and walk with a cane and obvious limp. I once had a elderly couple just assume I had a stroke or something. It made me feel self conscious. So no they're not the asshole it's just to each their own bc I always tell people I'd rather they ask than just assume and assume wrong.
It's a fact, when you cook at home and you taste at certain points to make sure meal courses goes smoothly (dsnt mattr if it's guests or loved ones) that dulls the excitement. U pretty much know how it's turned out... I'm pulling out quote from Ratatouille "follow the recipe" Nd adding some "to the letter"........ Love you guys. Appreciate the content you make for the world
i am short; if someone calls me short(y) i cut that off with , "thanks, i'd never figured that out (pause) your power of observation is amazing. the no caps thing is still my personal preference and statement. (grin) smiling is a useful tool.
I was the original 98 lb weakling when I was younger. Very short, and super skinny, and no matter what I ate, I couldn't gain weight to save my life. Then at 13, I exploded and put on height, muscle, and weight and unfortunately, never stopped putting on weight. So I went from one extreme to the other and got bullied for both until I learned to fight back with both my fists and. more importantly, my words. Turning a bully's ridicule back on them and making the crowd laugh at them hurts a lot more than a punch in the jaw.
HAILEE!!!!! @11:04 I am now wiping tea from my laptop screen from laughing so hard Kendra's reaction just added to my laughter I will say I have never had tea come out my nose after drinking I guess I should learn to expect the unexpected and not drink a cup of tea just in case of laughter for everyone wondering laptop is fine lmao
You can absolutely become a bit insensitive to the flavors of food you prepare if you're constantly taste testing it. It's not permanent, but a holiday weekend can be a bit blunted by it.
My favorite couple on UA-cam. Luv you Guys ❤❤❤❤❤
As a 50yr old man who is 290lbs I spent years at a job where everyday I was insulted and put down because of my weight. One co-worker actually told me he thought it was his responability to "motivate" me to lose weight. It was totally wrong. And in most cases it is counter-productive because it causes some people to eat more. Just treat each other with respect.
Slim/Chunky.... okay so the person who is constantly being called slim even though they wanted to be called by their regular name I don't think they're the asshole for calling the other person chunky they are petty but I don't think that they are being the asshole the one constantly calling this other person slim or toothpick is an asshole, obviously the other person wanted them to use their name not slim or toothpick and I'm sorry but I don't care I'm petty enough I would have done the same thing, if you're going to call me names you better buckle up because you're getting it right back😂
I think if kindness doesn’t get someone’s attention pettiness is warranted. The point is this girl tried kindness and it didn’t work. She tried tho!
@@spacebaby125 I agree kindness first, pettiness second.... You ("you" as in people in general) don't want to make it to 3, I get violent either with words or fist depends how pissed I am at that point.
@@marygoyette8773 exactly. If you push me hard enough you cannot blame me for what happens after that. I’m on the spectrum and I can get extremely overwhelmed and overstimulated very quickly in the face of harassment and I try to keep my cool for as long as possible but if you keep going it’s gonna get ugly Fr.
There are to many people in this world that feel they need to get in to other people's business
After my cancer treatment I lost so much weight. Before cancer I was 155 to 160 lbs with cancer I was down to less than 112 in a matter of weeks. Luckily I had very supportive friends.
As for the lady who lost her fingers I think it’s disrespectful to ask these questions, I had a friend who was like that but I never asked her or treated her like she had an issue. She told later why she lost her fingers when she was comfortable enough to share that.
The thing about cooking and it dulling your senses is a thing because I've made something(spaghetti with meat sauce) and everyone praised it and ate multiple helpings. Whereas i am trying to figure out what's missing. Eeird.
love your videos :)
I love these videos you should do more
Hailee is always beautiful, but in this video, she is so gorgeous!! I think green really suits you well!
Although I don't think it's OK to objectify anyone, I don't think that last gal was an a-hole. She tried multiple times to get the other person to stop and they never did. She did what she needed to do. I'm an old fart, but believe that if you're going to dish it out, you better be able to take it.
This. Especially in an environment where she has no choice but to be around it. If outside help won't do anything that basically leaves quitting and finding a new job or retaliation as the only options. I also agree with Kendra about how the other girl is most likely projecting (I think it's Kendra that said it. Sorry I'm new here). Biggest thing I've learned is that bullies bully because they themselves are bullied whether it's classmates, family, coworkers or just any kind of peer in general. I was quick to anger as a kid and was constantly picked on and called names simply cause I existed it felt like all the way from kindergarten to 11th before I dropped out. Telling kids to leave me alone did nothing since everyone just saw me as the "spaz" and the schools never did anything about it except ask for names that I could never give as I never had a way to get there names. It got to the point where kids I'd never even seen or met before were calling me names or throwing stuff at me just because their friends asked or told them to. As dumb as it is I ended up with some severe anxiety issues because of it. And yes I tried my best to ignore it, but in a school of 3000 kids where it was happening every minute every day from at least 200 or more kids I didn't even know, it gets rather hard to ignore real quick.
Sorry for the long tangent all, but clearly that one hit hard for me. Probably helped myself a little by finally getting it out there in some way at least....
"Baby gravy the turkey baster"? You guys make me laugh so hard my belly hurts....
My favorite couple on UA-cam LUV U GUYS ❤❤❤
I think you two are adorable and fit together perfectly......
Cashier should have ID'd the person for the purchase. It's on the business to take the liability or charge-back.
I’ve never been ID’d when I use my credit card. I just have to type in my PIN code (but not always). I honestly don’t see the problem tho in her using it. I mean she might’ve had permission to use it but even if she didn’t it’s not your problem. The Dad would’ve found out anyways and he would’ve handled it. It’s not your problem at all.
I guess it depends on what u buy tho. If u bought something like smokes then that’s when u would get ID’d I’m guessing (I’ve never bought anything like that). But just boots? I don’t see y someone would get ID’d for that.
The girl with missing fingers is an absolute legend.
Merry Christmas happy holidays 💚💚❤️🎅🏻❄️
Love you Kendra and Hailee ❤
My eyes lit up when I saw this notification whille at work. I am fascinated with the AITA subreddit.
1. YTA. It sounds entitled that he expects his wife to be his personal chef and insulting that this guy expects every restaurant chef to meet the standards of his girlfriend's cooking.
2. NTA. I don't care if he is starkers. It's his room and she intruded without knocking. Get a lock or put a doorstop under the backside of your door since she wants to be difficult. The girlfriend and the her boyfriend the roommate are unquestionably TA. The girlfriend has no respect for OP's personal space.
3. NTA. They had enough of this nosy, tactless question. Don't ask people about injuries/deformities that people have.
4. YTA. Her dad might have been fine with spending that much on his credit card. If not, he will deal with it. We don't know. Let her father decide and figure it out.
5. NTA. Grey area, but her coworker started it, but she couldn't finish it. It's bodyshaming both ways, but everyone has a limit and the thin woman was pushed past her breaking point. Kendra has a point that the thin woman could have taken the high road, but it might have reached the point that the other woman no longer deserves it.
"no i dont want fucking coffee" 😂😂
The woman at the department store sounds jealous and exhausting
That last one got me deep. I have always been a skinny girl and my metabolism is through the roof i am also quite tall so people always tell me that im small and that I should eat , they also tend to call me weak and assume that I dont have the ability to lift heavy objects. This has always been a massive insecurity of mine and still is so I understand this girls frustration and get why she said what she said. But honestly never coment on anyones body you do not know what they have been through and it can seriously hurt someone.
The slim story is super understandable! I still struggle with gaining weight. But as a kid and preteen, my family and doctors would point out how skinny I was. At first, it never got to the point of an eating disorder because the eating disorder clinic my doctors sent me to traumatized me😅. But as a student-athlete, it was so easy to tell how much my lightweight affected me. The doctor ended up putting me on drugs that made me hungry and that is when I saw the horrors of an eating disorder but I would still get the same comments from my family and doctors. Being "skinny" can be just as bad as being "Chunky".
You guys are not annoying. You guys are funny you’re funnier.
Great life lessons, appreciate the person, not the shape. But I'm ROTFL, "baby gravy with a turkey baster". Thank you HnK
And Kendra’s reaction.
My brother lost his hand about 20 years ago in an accident. Sometimes if I see him doing something I’ll walk up and ask him if he needs a hand.
That last one. I have very bad insecurities about my body. I was very skinny but after going to the gym for over 4 years and getting like muscle mass, people (family mostly) say I'm getting fatter. I have lost a lot of weight that I went from 275-130 in 2 years but after being told 'you're getting fat' and seeing I am in the 158-163 range has made me feel horrible about myself. I don't eat a lot anymore and if I do I'm very tired, I feel fat and depressed. I don't go to the gym as much anymore. My job I'm a driver and people say 'you'll get fatter, soft legs, soft stomach, round waist.' And I was just only doing legs nothing else. But when I tell them 'no just a myth. I do legs.' They look at me very questionably, to where I over eat, very depressed and want to lay around do nothing. Even when I was skinny I felt like it was just not a great compliment. My abs I feel like I get fat and don't look good anymore. I stopped a lot of work outs, stopped trails/walks/bike rides. It's like very bad insecurities, people (family/friends/people I see on a daily basis) all say 'Didn't you used to be a lot skinnier? You gained weight. You sure you workout? Yo need to eat more. You should eat lesser food if you want to loss the fat.' And it like hurts, makes me feel worst, that I should be just skin and dones, that no one wants me, people don't care about me and drives my depression even higher that I won't eat, feel sick. That girl who is 'skinny' she's not the ahole, she is just trying to have them stop and is a lot bravery, stronger then I am.
❤❤❤good video, ladies
Kendras face at the "baby gravy" comment. :D
Perhaps the woman being called "slim" could've tried one more step before resorting to hitting the other woman with "chunky", just to try and ruffle less feathers(not that my own feeling is that she needed to). Maybe one last attempt, something akin to "I don't like you calling me that, and I will not be answering you in the future if you don't call me by name", and then stick to it until she smartens up and uses your name.
The smelling the food and it not tasting quite as good is real. It's nose blindness where you become desensitized to a smell because you are exposed to it a lot. A large portion of taste is smell, so if you are nose blind to a particular smell while cooking, then it won't taste as strong/good.
I actually enjoyed the story from the person who made up different reasons for why she only had two fingers on one hand. In my early 20s I had a bad motorcycle accident and when I returned to school I had to wear an eyepatch because of oculomotor nerve palsy, i.e., my left eye wouldn't budge past the lower left and my pupil didn't react to light. A couple of friends asked why I had the eyepatch and I told them that my eye had popped out while my parents were driving me to the mountains for recuperation. It was a small school, so the story spread like wildfire. To the best of my knowledge, everyone thought it funny when the truth came out and I ended up dating one of the two people I first told the fabrication to. She was an amazing person.
That lady with the credit card story like... "Uhm excuse me she's paying with money her dad gave her it's not hers shes not allowed to buy herself things with that money!" is what it comes down to like what the fuck even XD
11:25 NTA As someone who has gone through the same situation (not the same reason) I use very obvious sarcasm as to make it hard for people to believe me while also getting it across that those questions are impolite
On the second story
As a married man who has joint checking and credit accounts with my wife, the woman is absolutely the A-hole. Both my and her cards for both accounts, have my name on them as I’m the primary account holder. If someone refused to allow my wife to use them because of that, I would have their job that day.
I like the take that FootlessJo had in a video. If you're curious about what happened to a disabled person; first ask if it is okay to ask about what happened. If they say yes, awesome; if not, leave it be.
I'm a big guy, always have been "overweight", even as a newborn baby. It used to bother me a lot, specially with people close to me (my adopted father) always commenting and saying "You need to loose weight." or something along those lines, EVERY SINGLE TIME WE MET. Then I just started to joke about it... "oh my goodness! thank you so much for telling me, I never knew. What am I going to do!?" You know, if someone is fixated on commenting on your condition, whatever it is, I think the first thing to say is, "Yeah, I find that offensive. Please stop." If they continue, I then tell them, "Please, how would you feel if someone commented on you all time?" Still happening? Then it's time to bring in the boss or mom or HR... or just don't go around that person anymore. People who are strangers who comment...well, I just don't care what they think, so I ignore them.
I was waiting for you guys to do the am I the assshole video
Kallmekris has done a few of these videos and I know I know imma enjoy this
Cool love it
7:43 the building code in many parts of the US prevents people from having keyed locks on interior doors (aside from the type that can be opened from the outside with a coin or screwdriver)
8:22 i think it should be the ring and pinkie, i didn't see where they said 'the middle three'... afaik, the fingers are numbered 1-5 starting from the thumb = #1; so ring and pinkie would be #4 & #5
That guy could have bought a lock for his door lol
One of my roommates just refused to knock first and would just walk in whenever. It was driving me NUTS so I started locking my bedroom door after asking multiple times if he could knock. I tried to communicate my need for him to respect my space and he did not. So I found a way to enforce it. But then he tried getting mad at me for locking my bedroom door saying it was an excuse to ignore him. AITA?
11:04 Kendra's reaction 😂
I've always been the more solid out of all my siblings, even when I did sports and had tons of muscle, I still weighed more than what my body type should have, but I was still pretty skinny. Skinny. Now I have thyroid issues along with ankle issues and permanent nerve and muscle damage. But at this time last year I had almost died and lost 60 lb in 3 months because I couldn't eat anything, I couldn't even keep down the water. It took me 140 sessions of physical therapy over this past year to get to where I am. And so since my body was in starvation mode, as soon as I started eating it started just saving every single calorie thinking the same thing was going to happen again, so even if I eat a lot of salad and healthy stuff, my weight still keeps going up. 2 hours of PT day and walking around and eating healthy, I still keep adding weight every time I go to the doctor and we don't know how much of its muscle and how much of its fat
Slim story: NTA. "Objectification sucks. Period" sums it up perfectly. In this situation the coworker that continued using a reference to the author's physical appearance after being asked to stop repeatedly, and no leadership stepping in to resolve the workplace issue, left the author with no good options to handle the situation. Two wrongs don't make a right, however. If this wasn't approached from anger, I wonder if the author would have thought about not responding to her rude coworker until her preferred name was used.
Citizen parenting: 100%, Grade A, A-Hole. No danger present, not her kid, not her business.
Avoiding date night: Mixed. Reasonable not wanting to eat out all of the time. Not reasonable to expect GF to cook all the time. Definitely not cool to call GF their "... personal chef." If this person wants to maintain a relationship plan date nights. Even when married (speaking from personal experience.)
Nude sleeper: debatable. NTA for wanting privacy in his own room. Should have gotten a lock for the door. Hell even try to find out why she doesn't like knocking. Communication could have disarmed the situation.
good, you clarified on the parenting thing. there are plenty of reasons to step in and protect a child from unfit parents.
As a person who carries a few (a lot) of extra pounds I would never comment on a persons weight. I have been big all my life and have had to suffer with fat jokes, I feel I have spent most of my life on 1 diet or another, and I learned that gaining weight for some people is as hard as loosing weight is for others and weather somebody is over or under weight it is not for you to judge or mock them. Asking a person once not to call you slim should have been enough. I can't believe her boss didn't step in and stop it straight away.
AITA?:
I used to work at a retail store and sold appliances. One of the items that was sold there was a large chest freezer. I would often show this item to customers and seemingly every third person I would show it to would jokingly ask "So, how many dead bodies can I fit in here?"
Now this was funny the first couple of times I heard it, but inevitably every joke gets old when you've heard it over and over again. And working retails sucks enough on its own without having to fake laugh at the same joke. So, eventually I decided to have some fun, and it came to pass that I was showing off the chest freezer again. The customer goes "So" and in my head I think "Here it comes," the customer continued "How many dead bodies can I fit in here," I replied "Are you planning on cutting them up or keeping the bodies whole?"
The customer looked disgusted and said, "I was joking," and I replied, "So was I." The customer just left. In my head I'm thinking "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT STARTED THIS! WHY ARE YOU ANGRY?"
The owner of the cupcake shop was a real one:
Owner: this is a high school problem. Y'all figure it out
Woman: she's calling me a name, so I'm going to respond by calling _her_ a name. That'll show her!
As someone who was teased for being short (I'm 5'1) throughout my childhood I am of the opinion that this person did what I would've done in this situation. I had several different nicknames related to my height and I will remember them for the rest of my life. Nobody should judge anyone by their appearance, weight or height
there´s a story behind those cuff necklace...? if you don´t mind me asking.

As a feat girl, I have to say:
You have to be able to eat what you dish.
She called the girl "Slim", she has to be able to take it to be called "Chunky"! 🎉
3:50 - Regarding eating at a restaurant or cooking at home. Aside from everything they said, which was all valid, I particularly noticed his very last line: "I have a personal chef at home." Your partner is not YOUR "personal chef." That line alone is a major asshole line. Maybe / maybe not was that what he meant by saying that, but to say that at all requires a very serious self-reflection on how you view your partner. Is this a partnership? Or a servant? Even professional chefs like to eat other people's cooking sometimes! And she is not a professional chef, she is your girlfriend.
I am built like a safety but all my friends are linebackers ... Know your lane. We are a team.
I have been overweight my entire life. It’s taken years to not care if someone says something about my weight. No matter how much weight I loose I will still be bigger than most. I’m 5’9 and built more like my Dad. My mom and her side of the family are all smaller. My cousin can NOT gain weight. She has tried for years to gain weight. People used to tell her all the time she needed to go eat a cheeseburger. She got depressed and lost more weight. Some family members used to call her Beanpole and she tried to act like she didn’t care, but it used to hurt her feelings so bad. So let’s just not talk about anyone’s weight cause you don’t know what they’re going through mentally
