Way Random....But I Just Remembered About It

[disfreak318]

Yesterday of course I had to work. This is what happens when one finds herself back in retail, oh well. Anywho I had a bunch of winners for customers, a few cranky, a couple crazy, some normal and then a couple that were so chat worthy. One of the customers I got was a lady that looked like she maybe was in her late thirties, maybe early fourties and was yeah a smidgen overweight but not huge huge. Well she had one of those fun little oxygen machines helping her breathe and I assumed smoking or maybe some sort of lung dealio. I got to chatting with her and found out it was a lung/heart condition that came on after working at some sort of plant with obvious toxic fumes hanging out in the air and she was somewhere in her mid-thirties. She also told me that people would just assume that she had the machine because of smoking or, now get this, because she was fat?!? I looked at her and said "are you serious?" People seriously think that if you are even a little overweight you are automatically going to have to walk around with an oxygen machine???? What are people raising here?? Now I told her that my first assumption, yes, was from smoking.

Anywho I just needed to share that definite "WTF" moment of my day yesterday.
