… being able to “deal with” a “bigger size” because you literally just registered for the very important conference our college program is highly promoting to the students while the fat person who put in the shirt order 3+ weeks ago can’t “deal with” a smaller size because they didn’t order the one you requested.



I’m in college and a very important conference that all of the area’s professionals that we are trying to become was being heavily promoted and encouraged by the program’s admins. I registered for the conference 5 or 6 weeks before it actually happened and put in the order for the shirt that EVERYONE IN THE PROGRAM was going to wear together in 4 weeks before I needed the shirt.

Time comes for everyone to receive their shirts and everyone got their shirts… except for me. I was told that the admin “hoped the shirt will come in tomorrow” and that she would give it to me at the conference. In the meantime, another student registers for the conference that fucking day and then turned to the admin for a shirt “in a small, please.” When she was told they only had mediums left, cuz you know, they ordered a little more than they needed in the “standard” sizes, the girl said “well I will just have to deal with it.”

#$%^&*!?!

So I arrive the next day at the conference that will put us students in the same rooms at future peers and employers and professionals we will end up working for. I asked my admin for the shirt and was told it hadn’t arrived. Three days later I find the shirt has arrived but it is at the school and the campus is closed, so I won’t receive it until after the conference is over.

When the students gather to take a big class picture, I am told that only students with the school shirt can participate by another student. All I could say was “It isn’t my fault I don’t have a shirt.” and participated anyway. I was and still am furious.
