Hector-8 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I know im not no oil painting but theres a really fat girl in my workplace who finds it funny to pick on people and call them by everything but their name,usually by who they look like but she is quite offensive.what would be the best name to call her back without stating the obvious!!!

Brabus Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The best thing would be not to call her anything. If it's really bothering you and other people then go see your boss, see could be fired for that kind of behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector-8 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 It doesnt really bother me too much, I find it funny coming from someone who isn't exactly the most perfect person in the world, "kettle calling the pot black". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nordberg Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Basic form of deflection. She obviously knows she has a weight problem and it probably makes her feel better to belittle other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old work, we had a real geek of a bloke as a supervisor, but he was a real bully. Physhically a BIC biro would have won in a tug of war, but mentally he bullied people, and made quite a few leave, and a couple suffered with stress because of him. I cant beleive no one met him on a dark night to have a chat. Its their best form of defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector-8 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 yeah your prob right,im trying my best not to get involved cause i could out wit her anyday, but im not the slabbering type of person,.its just a tad annoying cuz shes so fat and no one has said anything about her weight to her face which is a very obvious thing to comment on,but shes the loser of the battle.it just makes me laugh.

He hasn't worked out why 15 people have left in the time I've been there, and I'll be in the next batch of 5 leaving in the next 4-8 weeks. We'd discussed formal complaints and possibly charges re: harrassment, victimisation, discrimination, sexism etc. However I convinced folks it's easier for us to leave and let him explain to the company owner why he has to close the branch and hand back a pile of projects that cannot be delivered. As some of these are in the "black space" that could be VERY entertaining... Vengeful? Moi? Never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ENVY Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I'd sneak in really early in the morning, cover her desk in Krispy Kreme doughnuts & spell out 'Enjoy you fat cnut!' with cocktail sausages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] The first comment you make is that she is overweight, i am quite seriously overweight due to several medical factors but thats not important. Currently it's still quite acceptable to abuse people based on their size, if we were from an ethic minority or different colour and you targeted that you could quite possibly end up in court or out of a job. I don't judge anybody, i make a decision based on how i get on with them, if i think they are an asshole then that is based on their personality, nothing else. If she is abusing colleagues and bullying them that is probably down to insecurity, no excuse for it whatsoever and i would look to take her down one way or another. Firstly she is out of order and is probably bullying to try and make herself feel better, probably having being bullied herself. If i were you i would submit an anonymous note to the HR department or her directly noting what you have seen, her bullying and the targeted employees. To be honest the fact that you say this fat girl not this person annoys me to be honest, i doubt you would say black, asian or anything else and her size is irrelevant, she is a nasty person, full fecking stop. I'm not suppoting her in any way whatsoever but you do appear very biggoted and small minded, i might be wrong. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger_Irrelevant Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well, never one to let wit get in the way of a good insult, there's always the good old fashioned "barge arse", or alternatively a rather good one in the latest Viz, which is "two pounds of sh1t in a one pound bag". As for 'mocking the afflicted', my view is that if you dish it out to others, it's only right to expect to take some in return. That applies to everyone irrespective of religion, race, creed or BMI.

[/ QUOTE ] I completely agree, if she is dishing it out then she has no defence. I'm always referred to a big jon, big big jon... at work it doesn't bother me as we all take the mick out of each other in a friendly way, a typical conversation might be: 1, OP: big jon, i have a problem.. ME: OK short arse, whats the problem 2, OP: eh up big boy ME: how's the weather up there today? (to a guy who's 5' 3") Loads of stuff that is non pc but we all have a laugh and there is no harm or malice meant. At 6' 5" with a large frame at my ideal weight of 20 stone i don't think i'd be renamed little jon lol BTW, been looking for Viz for a few weeks and not found it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brn7y Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 If you can't take it, don't dish it out. In the oilfield guys who give but can't take get more stick than anyone. But it's a cruel industry, show any sign of weakness and it is pounced on straight away. Think that's what happens in a male doninated working enviroment. By the way if you need a good name for someone PM me with details of there afliction or problem and I'll ask the guys for a good one. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Hi Hector1, If you look back up the thread i did recind those comments, they were OTT as i don't know you and words can be easily misconstrued on a forum etc. The world these days is far too PC and i totally agree that if she was a nice person etc she wouldn't be bullying people or be hated.
