I’m tall so I ask short people all the time to get me something off the bottom shelf.
she’s the most photographed person on the planet and she leads an entourage of vehicles that rivals the most self centered performers and is surrounded by armed men and women with headgear and someone walked up to her as if she worked at Target and told her to get something from the shelf. I smell something that reminds me of fertilizer.
It wasn't really a raciss thing. Maybe somebody was just trying to pick up a trannie...?
I am disgusted with Moochelle’s attitude.
The anecdote was probably born as a lie her staff wrote into her scripted, off-the-cuff interview with Letterwimp. Let's just say in either use of the anecdote, it was too good to be true.
I’m a little over five feet, and even I’VE been asked to reach stuff, by people who are even shorter than I am! I was glad to do it. It usually results in a nice, friendly little exchange between two shoppers. Leave it to the WORST “Lady” to turn it into racism. Why not just be glad to do a bit of a favor for a fellow human being? She’s just too small and petty to think of it that way. Disgusting, classless creature!
This will backfire on the Obamas big time, as almost everyone has been asked to reach something in a store, or has asked someone else to do so, and never considered racism as having anything to do with it.
Sheesh...the sooner these two horrid people are out of OUR house, the better.
Heck, I’m a guy but have bad knees, so have needed help in the hardware store. Remind me never to ask an intended victim.
When we assumed Obama would uphold the US constitution, we were not being racist. We were just actingly stupidly, apparently.
I can hardly wait to listen to all the Late Night Comedians and SNL to make fun of what she has said. They do so like to make fun of Big Asses (little pun there) if they are White like Governor Christie (another pun).
Haven’t read the whole thread but this has probably been covered. As a taller than average person there’s hardly a couple of weeks that go by in my adult life where someone shorter than me doesn’t ask for help reaching a grocery item high up on a shelf.
I’m now trained to offer my service at the first sight of someone vertically challenged trying to grasp something out of reach.
I guess we are all racists.
I’m 6’2” tall. I always have Little Old Ladies asking me to reach something on the top shelf. If I see someone having a difficult time trying to get to something, I volunteer.
My Mother always told me to be Polite.
The one thing us Tall people need to know is that you are expected to get an Item from the back of the Shelf, the one with the latest “buy” Date.
This really comes into play when reaching for a Carton of Milk. I automatically do it, rather than taking the first Item on the shelf. If I didn’t, I know the Little Old Lady will ask me to reach way back for the freshest Milk.
Now I am questioning their Motives. Maybe they look down(figuratively) on Tall Italian Men. They must think I’m either a Mafioso or Mussolini’s Grandson. That’s the ticket.
Do you think People Magazine will interview me?
