This lady came in in what I believe was supposed to be a cover-up. Like, the kind you wear over a bathing suit while you run into the gas station for a pack of Pall Malls. Only it wasn't a gas station, it was the Local Grocery, and she wasn't buying smokes, she was buying deli meat and sopressata, and, most importantly, she was not wearing a bathing suit. Instead, this woman, who was probably forty-five or so and not what one might describe as fit, was spilling out of the very short clothing item in question in every imaginable direction (as well as some unimaginable ones). After instinctively running in the back and hoping she would go away, I then tried to make eye contact with her, out of sheer curiosity- was she actually crazy, or just Montpeculiar crazy? The jury's still out, and I doubt very seriously that they're coming back.

I cycled past a large young woman in a beachy sort of cover-up the other day. It was at least not short, and it wasn't that much too tight, but it was the transparency that was so deeply disturbing. If only she hadn't been wearing a thong. She had such a very large arse, and bisecting it didn't, surprisingly, seem to make it any smaller.

I just have to wonder what on earth these people are thinking? It doesn't take a full length mirror to tell a fat person not to get into a thing, does it? Common decency - or possibly courtesy, should do the trick, no?
