On being Atkins un-friendly
This exchange actually happened to Dan and I this afternoon.
We do our thing, and return to the elevator for the return trip. We just catch the lift as the doors are closing, and join the woman already inside. We then have the following exchange: Woman: "Ahhhg! Hijacked." She has pressed the button to go up one floor. We politely smile in apology, anyway. A moment later: Woman: "Ahhhg! A CARB PERSON!" (pointing at David's bag of pretzels.) We chuckle politely. Then: Woman: "Ahhhg! A SUGAR PERSON! Even worse!" (pointing at my Twizzlers.)If you're on the Atkins diet ... fine. However, I really don't care for joking or pointed comments labeling me as a "carb person". The "Atkins-friendly" mentality, if you want to call it that, should extend beyond just what you're eating on your plate.
