WHY????

I am so puzzled by the world today.
I had a rough weekend emotionally but regrouping and back at work on Monday
I noticed someone came in to the office and I got up to greet and saw this customer that is a pain in the a$$. He always ask to see me which is fine I know that he is a pain.
W: hello, can I help you? (I think to myself push those thoughts of him being a pain and be positive)
C: Yes, is Wendy here today?
W: it's me Wendy ( I am far away so I can understand)
C: Why I did think it was you. You look so young
W: THANKS
C: well it could be because I'm getting older
W: What can I do for you (giggling because I know that is his humor)
I take care of his transaction and we get into a discussion of his family and how they are going through a tough time. I console him and tell him that I hope it works out the way it is supposed to be. I also tell him that I will think of his family ans pray for them (I never say things like that to customers because I don't share any type of religious or political views). As I stand up and tell him Happy Thanksgiving and re assure him that things will work out.
he states:
C: Don't eat too much you can't afford to put anymore weight on.
W: wow, OK, have a nice day
I was in total shock.
WHY would anyone say that.
I don't need to worry about what I eat on Thanksgiving I am not obese. Even if I was WHY does he feel he has the right to say something.
WHY do people feel they have a right to say something.
I didn't say have a better attitude don't be so negative and think that everyone is out to get you.
I came a way from this with angry but I have turned it into sympathy.
This person feels bad about his life and I would say does everyday. I have know him for several years and he always has the angry face on.
I can only say that I am not an angry person that I am a happy person and I feel bad for him.
I love myself and yes it did hurt when he told me that basically I am fat I know that I am not and I love me.

Career change?????

P.I Wendy- I am so proud of myself! Justice will be served. Yesterday on my way to work I was hit!!! I was at a STOP sign and a vehicle didn't stop and swiped the side of my car. I pulled forward and pulled over to exchange insurance information and he left!!! I couldn't only get 3 letters of his plate. I tried to get back into traffic but I couldn't. I called the police and they made a report and told me they would run the vehicle and plate information I had but it would be hard to find the guy. I was annoyed that people today feel they can get away with whatever they want. SO...... I headed down to the scene of the accident this morning and waited. This guy is NOT going to get away with this. As I sat on the side of the road I was thinking what will I do.I wouldn't get out or try to stop him but I was ready with my paper and pen. I saw him I put my car in drive and copied down his plate #!!!! I called the police and they are going after him. Justice will be served. The police thanked me and will be in contact to get me his insurance information.
Just call me P.I Wendy!!!!

I would never confront this person or do a high speed chase. It was about being safe and hoping that I would find him so the police could take care of it. They are trained and they do a great job!
