I, for one, am fat. So I can call people fat. If black people can get away with using the N word, I can call people fat!

Well, technically, Fat are cells, the more fat cells, the bigger you are. Calling somebody fat is calling them a cell. Big is a more accurate adjective. And Fat DOES make you big, while fat does NOT make you "petite"
Now if you want to make a clothing department called Obese & Tall, I won't complain.
I'll probably shop there.

Ok...my question:
Shorty.... why were you in a women's petite clothing store anyway?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
You changed your post!
Not that theres anything wrong with that.
I was not in a petite store.
I was at Sears, looking for some special screwdrivers. I want some short philips and flatheads but NOT the wide stubby ones and not the precision drivers either. Normal size but with relatively short shafts and handles.
Wait a second, what the hell do you care?
Anyway, I was there. It was early in the morning, I didnt find what I wanted and I ended up getting a shirt as I walked out. Only one person in sales in the clothing section so I had to go to the Ladies checkout. Thats when I met Atilla and her Huns. The big meanie herself and her two pals who really didnt contribute but they sure as heck didnt stop her either. They just stood there sort of awed and disgusted (like me).
I went back to hardware and the guy must have been on break or something.
Dawdled back over to the register and the poor girl was still getting harassed. Eventually Atilla got tired and left. I bought my shirt, wished the victim a nice day and hauled ass out of there.
Also, I tend to date tiny girls more often than not, so it is possible on any given day I could have been buying something cute for my sweetie. But usually I prefer to stop at the local Love Nest when I want to get a cute gift. The ladies there are real nice and the customers always have better manners.
Oh, by the way, the farm girl outfit from Spencers Gifts Online looks really good with just about anything from sockdreams.com.
when i used to work in a grocery store and I told people there was no more of a product...i would know i ordered the stuff....and they wouldnt believe me and would tell me to check in the back anyways...
i'd go into the'magical warehouse' hang out for a while shoot the breeze with whoever was back there, sometimes climb into the catwalk look around the store through the one way mirrors or maybe use the restroom or take a break and then come back out and if they were still there id let them know that unfortunately there was no more nada zilch...

EDIT: Nevermind, you'll probably get your definition from wikpedia.
Here it is
n. A clothing size for short slender women. </blockquote>
The dictionary and wikipedia can define it however they want. Wreckem is correct. The clothing industry has petite as clothing proportionally designed for a woman 5'4" and under. Slender is not a factor.
allisolm and Wreckem are absolutely correct.
Shorty, you've been owned and your entire weak rant not only shows how shallow you are, but ignorant as well.
Instead of merely pointing out that the girl was a pain in the ass or a bitch, you felt the need to pick on her for her size and incorrectly assume you knew what "Petite" meant when it comes to women's clothing sizes. So it turns out YOU'RE the dumbass, not her. Oh! The Irony!!!
Not only that, but seeing as you felt so strongly about it, why didn't you tell her to STFU instead of slinking away and posting a weak ignorant rant on the internet. Too much of a pussy to degrade people in person? Did the short chubby woman scare you too much?

They only label the clothes that way to flatter those little fatties...just like the the sizing of all women's clothes... ie., a size 2 pair of jeans does NOT mean it has a 2 inch waistline. it's an artificial number. I don't even know how big a say... size 14 is, but it is definitely not 14 inches... womenz like the lower number. Men don't care so we happily wear the size 46 jeans... women need to grow up!</blockquote>
Sure - and that's why they call men's section where you find the 46" jeans "Big and Tall" - not "Fat and Tall". It wouldn't have anything to do with flattering the fatties, now would it?
Rodney Dangerfield had it right! :laugh:
actually... i was in banana republic looking in their petite section (i'm SHORT and small, allright?) and they have a label on their clothing that states "these clothes are designed for women 5'4" and shorter, without regards to other sizes." they do have petite sized pants for someone who is a size 16. their pants are cut shorter and their shirts are cut shorter, actually hitting my waist instead of somewhere over my behind.
although someone that's 5'3" and 200 lbs would have a hard time fitting into banana's petite tops, even at XL. their pants however, maybe. same goes for ann taylor, and other stores... sears not included. i don't buy clothes there...

No, the term is voluptuous, or curvy...
no no no
those terms come before out right fat and obese.
theres natural fat.... ie fat thats supposed to be there and then theres "Maccy D's" fat which is the horrible, disfigured looking, cellulitey fat (you know the stuff that dimples the skin) you get from eating too much crap and not doing any exercise.
natural fat however looks perfectly fine because it looks like its supposed to be there. you dont make yourself voluptuous or curvy, you're born like that, its then up to u to keep things in check.
