Hello, my dears!
It’s going to be in the 70s this weekend. Seriously??
More from Derrick’s story, Truck Me How I Like It, below. Derrick is becoming angrier by the second.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the fat fuck on a power trip was still only halfway through unloading the pallets from the flatbed. I sent a quick text to Adrian about the situation, then decided that enough was enough. If the guy didn’t hurry up, I’d miss my last drop of the day because the business would close soon.
I got out of the truck, locked the cab and made my way to the management office, ignoring the smirk on the slob’s face as I passed him. Jesus, did he even shower? I could smell him from fifty feet away.
Just my luck, the manager who’d intercepted my altercation in the past with the slow-ass dude outside was coming out of a back room.

He’s not having a good day. Let’s hope his day improves.
It will, eventually. 🙂
Hopefully the manager will come to his rescue! ♡
He will! 🙂
You lost me as a reader with that one.
You see… I’m a big woman, over a decade of prednisone for health reasons. And pieces like the one above make it harder for me to be taken seriously, even by the doctors who prescribed the prednisone to begin with, and gives others license for ridicule. The guy might be an incredible ass, but all I saw was you calling people of size slobs and filthy.
Stereotyping feeds the problem.
Not telling you to change a thing, but, you’re going to lose readers.
You did me.
*shakes head and walks away*
Understood. I have been up and down with my weight for years. People have attitudes (stereotypes, etc.), and shining a light on those things in a character can help, or detract, I suppose. It wasn’t my intention to offend.
I gotta say, this doesn’t endear me to him. But it definitely sounds like he’s having a bad day!
He is not perfect, it’s true.
Someone’s having a bad day! 🙂
Very, very bad. 🙂
Wow, I’m wincing right along with him!
I would, too!
Oh, can’t wait to see how this goes down!
You’ll see. 🙂
