I had this brief encounter at a service station before I was heading off to teach my RPM class for the evening.
| * Marshmallow walks into service station to pay for petrol | |
| Service Station Guy | Hi there. |
| Marshmallow | Hi there, the petrol on pump 3 thanks. |
| Service Station Guy | How was your day? |
| Marshmallow | Yeah it was pretty good thanks. How about yourself? |
| Service Station Guy | Good, yes. Would you like a carwash? |
| Marshmallow | No, just the petrol thanks |
| Service Station Guy | Okay. How was your day? |
| Marshmallow | ... uh... it was good. |
| Service Station Guy | You going home from work now? |
| Marshmallow | No, I'm going to the gym first. |
| Service Station Guy | I see, you want to reduce your weight? |
| Marshmallow | No, I'm just going to improve my fitness. |
| * Service Station guy starts to laugh | |
| Service Station Guy | You don't want to reduce your weight? You should!!! |
| Marshmallow | ... |
| * Service Station guy stops laughing | |
| Service Station Guy | So did you have a good day? |

Ohmigod....
But, really. HE works in a petrol station. So there.
Wow.
Yeah, I wouldn't be giving life advice to anyone if I was the petrol station dude. Bet HIS life is really going places.
I really like your blog style. Keep up the good work!
Sara - Yep, I don't think I envy that guy at all.
Diandra - Oh I encounter dimwits like this dud all the time.
Kek - I think either he attempts to give life advice because the only other line of conversation he has is asking how everyone's day is ;)
Sham - Thank you! :D
I can think of so many rude things I would have said to this guy. I get this kind of crap all too often. Sicne September, I have been working out consistently and changing the way I eat. I have lost 50 pounds and I feel so much better. A coworker asked me if I was on a diet and I told her that I was not, I was just changing the way I handle hunger and food. Her response? "A diet would help you more." Um...really?
Natalie - Oh good grief. 'a diet would help you more', fercrissake. *infinite headdesk* Worst advice ever! Did you slap your coworker? Congratulations on the progress you've made so far!
