I work with a lady and she greets me with some form of this every day. Hi skinny or something to that effect.. ...in front of people, which is embarrassing for me. How can I drop the hint that I want her to stop.

I know there was a topic about this at some point but didn't really read it because I guess I never thought it would happen to me lol. And I searched for it but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

This person at work may be manifesting their own issues on you by making comments about your appearance. Of course this person may not know they are saying something that offends you or makes you feel uncomfortable. I have been unknowingly guilty of saying stupid things. This person may need to be told to cool it on the comments and that it may be inappropriate for the workplace. This is something you can do yourself or bring it up to your direct supervisor and they can advise you on the proper way to handle the situation at your office. I have learned a long time ago the mistake of running up to HR to report abuse by a co-worker. If you can, try to talk to the co-worker to diffuse the situation, they may not know they are being a jerk.

Can anyone think of a joking-ish reply I could use? I hate confrontation and would love if the light bulb just went off on its own for her.

Tell her yes I have skin-on-my-knee

It sounds so stupid but say it and keep it moving.

When she scratches her head just smile. She will get tired before you do.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
