A Florida woman is still recovering from the insult at finding a valet ticket that described her as fat.
Sharyn Peoples used a valet when she was in Boca Raton in early December to park at a local mall while she appeared at a play but when she picked up her car she found the ticket identifying the driver with the words 'play,' 'red dress' and 'fat.'
'I was mortified,' she told WTVJ. 'In handwriting it said 'play, red dress, and fat' on it.'
Peoples said she found the description insulting and shocking and she contacted LAZ Parking of Florida, the valet company.
'It's only words and it's from some kid, and that's one of the things the guy said to me on the phone. He said, "You know, we employ 18- and 20-year-old kids." I said, "Sir, they're legally adults,"' she told the local news station about her conversation with the company.
Shortly thereafter, the woman said a representative from the parking company sent her an email, apologizing for the incident.
'Please accept our sincerest apologies,' the message said, adding that the company will inform its drivers to no longer refer to customers' physical appearance on tickets.
'This type of situation will never occur again,' the company assured her.

BINGO!
Yep. It’s a money making or celebrity making effort on her part.
If I hired a maid they would have an address to identify me. I highly doubt they would need a physical description of the owner to find the location. Of course, If I were going to be found in a crowd I would tell them I was the fat, ugly, tall guy.
If person A knows that person B needed to find me in a group and told them I was the fat guy, that would just make sense. That is not an insult. That is a descriptor that makes their job easier.
As I said, they didn't give insults "to her", they were trying to make her easier to locate from one employee to another. Nowhere was that comment directed TO HER.
What if you hired a maid or some other kind of help and they gave insults to you?
This is not a case where someone went out of their way to hurl an insult at another person for no reason. I guess when you drop off the car they should put a number on you, like the contestants in a marathon. That would make you easier to find I guess.
Well I did. I studied Latin and I am fluent in English, French and Russian.
for what? teenager A told teenager B that she was "fat" so as to make her eassier to find and return her car?
If that is worthy of a lawsuit, then Facebook and Twitter and school hallways are to be banned. lol.
I hope they fired the guy because he obviously is Blind.
I wonder if the White Cane and Guide Dog made her wonder how the guy was going to park her car.
Is there an advertisement on her back? How does publicity pay for anything? There is nothing here to sue for as far as I can tell.
That’s a relief, isn’t it? Walmart would be all but impassable if every fat person fell into a swoon because somebody noticed.
She is “still recovering” from a scribble on a Valet ticket?
I’m “still recovering” from Leukemia, when do I get a Check?

Interesting moniker you have. I seriously debated about posting a Mikail Timofeyvich Kalashikov birthday thread last November. I generally post birthday threads for Eugene Stoner and John Moses Browning every year.
Mikail designed a good firearm, and got it through the system.

My valet ticket would have said “tall fat guy, fuzzy hair, no socks”
Sometimes the truth just slaps you upside the head ..lol :-)
“My valet ticket would have said “tall fat guy, fuzzy hair, no socks””
Had it been Mooochelle Obozo it would have just said “Sasquatch”.
hahahahaha!
what a bunk of dummies they should have had a code for fat etc...
“An earlier photo of her.”
That definatly needs a burka!!
It’s Michael Jackson! The injections finally worked!!
“Daddy’s spoiled little narcissist” doesn’t fit on the ticket. I know; I used to park cars.
How nice that she has so few worries in her life that she has time to be offended by parking attendants.
I wouldn’t kick her out of bed. As long she said nothing beyond moaning......She’s thinner and better looking than most of the younger girls down at Kroger.
My wife (not fat) has the right attitude in life. She says, if you want to insult her personally, you better tell her that’s what your intention is. Otherwise, she’s not going to give it a second thought.
