#TELL ME I M FAT THIS AMERICAN LIFE DRIVER#

I have friends who are skinnier and way better looking who never get any of this sort of treatment. if I'm leaving the butchers by the back door, I'll thank the butchers working at the back on my way out.) As my father says, 'I have a horseshoe up my ass.' I'm one of those types who is chatty without getting in the way, if that makes any sense. The free stuff is all over the board - from beef jerky at the butcher, a piece of fish from the fish and chips place, to cables and stuff.

I'm not super skinny or abnormally good-looking. It's totally anecdotal, but I get free shit all the time - and there's no rhyme or reason for it.

I think attractive = you get more attention (not always positive, mind you - the women I mentioned above do not enjoy the unnecessary attention on the street, or the overly chatty uber driver who wants to know what they're doing in the evening, or from the creep at the bar who says 'drinks are on me' with a sinister Dennis-esque implication) While it's true that generally folks tend to see thinner people as attractive, I am not sure thin = free stuff and nods haha. However, I do notice that people make eye contact (or gawk sometimes) at my wife, my best friend (also a woman), and a few other women friends I have tend to have way more talkative uber drivers, get free drinks occasionally (from gay and straight bartenders), etc. Otherwise, I don't nod to anyone.Īlso, unless it's a place I go to often, no one will give me free deli anything. I'm a reasonably thin/normal figure guy, and honestly I nod occasionally if I make eye contact with someone for too long. but I wonder if Elna lost weight and became an attractive woman? I have not looked up a photo of Elna Baker, and I don't think it's relevant to the point I'm making.
