Now I know no one back in that area is my friend.
I’m going try hard to not talk to any other employees besides two on other side of store who are nice to me

HA! I thought your subject read IT WAS MAD FUN AT WORK YESTERDAY!
so I clicked expecting to read some spectacular event -a las.

well stick it out, I believe in "your not talking to them" scheme, don't give in, don't even look their direction,( and not just for a day do it for as long as you can) because the second you start talking to them first..you fail!

(forget the failing part that's just how I think for myself --do whatever you want)

That's sad. I hope you're OK.
People at my work weren't very nice to me too.

Do you have a boss you can report the bullying to?

That's a horrible experience, Sly. I am so sorry that happened to you.

very unpleasant.but not catastrophic. and people can be stupid about that sort of embarassement. and then still be friendly at that. just stupid.

@Sly: Bummer. I think ghosting those goons is appropriate behavior.

In some situations, reporting the bullying could be good

However, the boss might be biased in the bullies favor

And the boss might be a bully

It happens to the best of us, sometimes you just have to laugh with them.

Maybe it's time to invest in new pants? Or at least a new belt, they aren't very expensive.

^ I agree.
There's nothing worse than having to adjust your clothing all day at work.
I have no butt, so I've had to take in the waistband of practically every pair of pants I own, but it's worth it not to be constantly hiking them up.
Those are some rude b's you work with.

Problem is I could either gain weight or lose weight so then I wast $60 on pants and belt just to have to buy more.

I also have trouble with my pants. I always wear elastic belts... you can tighten them right up but there's still some give in them.

That's true. I used to just punch new holes in my belts (belt stretching/body shrinking), but the last belt I bought has holes all the way around.

They also have "seatbelt" style ones without any holes...I don't know what they're called right now, but maybe you know what I mean
