Hupf,

My name is P͟a͟g͟e͟. Remember it.

PopcornPrincess,

I can relate… please don’t touch or annoy me or call me “fat” or ask if I’m pregnant at work. Respect.

Girl… I once had a subordinate at work ask me if I was expecting. I was bloated and standing with my stomach out kind of holding my hand on my hip. She felt terrible when I said “nope, just fat…” I never held it against her in any way, but didn’t feel good for sure.

Why anyone asks anyone this for any reason I cannot fathom.

Don’t ask until you can see the baby crowning… even then wait until the birth announcement for good measure.

Is that a baby coming out…? You know what, nevermind…

olosta,

The awkward exception to this is asking if a person wants your seat on a bus or subway.

Jyrdano,

I have never related to a cat this much before.

IanSomnia,

Seems reasonable

Psyduck_world,

My cat also act annoyed or sometimes visibly upset when I call him fat. I doubt that he understands what is fat or being called fat is a bad thing. Wonder why he is so sensitive about being called fat.

Maybe they understand more than we know. I’m giving my dog an extra treat tonight just in case. I call her “Miss Chonky Thighs.”

Sounds like the store to visit if you want a quick judgement in your favor. Also…cat is wonderful.

rockSlayer,

Got it, chonker it is

RedditRefugee69,

This store seems frightening

It is a very aggressive sign… I wonder if Page made it herself.

ikiru,

Where is this bookstore?

As far as I can tell, in Charlotte, NC at the corner of The Plaza and Central Avenue. This is their site.

Proof (they’re called “BookBuyersCLT” on Twitter):
