Just call me "Big Guy"

Aug 19, 2009

My weight doesn't define me, but people think it does. At least once a day I'm called big guy. Not a big deal to most, but I want society to look beyond my physical appearance. Fat ass, tubby, big guy, Jabba the Hut. It's all the same to me. People that meet me for the first time and use "big guy" are the worst. You can't get any more fake than this.
Here are some tips:

• Refer to me by my first name. Using "big guy" makes you look like an ass.
   
• Don't act like I'm in your way when you pass. There's 7 feet between me and you.
   
• You don't get a 2nd chance to make a first impression with me.
   
• Making a suggestion about what I should eat and not eat doesn't make the McDonald's or potluck you stuffed down your gullet during lunch disappear.
   
• I'm your equal. Treat me as such.
