Omf…there was a story on CBC Radio now about “sweat shaming”. People need to get over themselves. If you go into a Starbucks after a run and you are sweating; don’t take it too personally if someone happens to say: “oh, you must have been running.” This is called…are you ready…small talk. This is not news or is it newswortny. Hell…probably not bitchworthy. When I heard the story; I thought it had to be a joke…still not sure. —shamed just shamed

Hipsters have invaded the Ceeb…
Does Starbucks allow Dogs?
Wow! ‘Sweat Shaming?’ Never heard of that one before.
I think we should add ‘pretentious twat shaming’ to the whole shaming bandwagon.
What’s next? Making people wear scarlet letters? Have some stocks at Grand Parade so we can throw tomatoes at those who don’t do what we think they should do? Who gets to make the rules of ‘shaming’?
Inquiring minds want to know.
The OB’s point is that the sweating person probably wasn’t being “shamed” at all.
The story is that a female jogger dripping in sweat abruptly stopped, without cooling down at all, and got in line at a Starbucks. Another person in line for a coffee decided to strike up a conversation by asking her if she had been running. The jogger was “outraged” that the other person had obviously noticed her profuse sweating and she decided that she was being “shamed” for being a sweating female.
So now every time someone asks a person a question it is simply to shame them?
Did you get your hair cut? Hair shaming!
Is that a new coat? Shopping shaming!
Do you take milk in your tea? Dairy shaming!
Are you one of those people who post on LTWWB? Bitch shaming!
Shame, Caballo!
Personally, I am more likely to shame a women that is exercising at such a low intensity that they aren’t sweating.
Uh…..o.k.
Gotta love Politically Correct Over Sensitive people.
Couldn’t agree more, Senor Campana. We must love them because they set a good example for the rest of us.
