It's that the fibro has days where anything constricting or slightly not silky soft is a huge no. Now they think my ribs are starting to slowly fuse, which is why constriction aches. No idea.

One of these days I'm just going to do the right thing and end up fired....
This makes me anxious. If a child needs help, please find some help. Social services, a news outlet, something. What's the thing that needs doing?
@Aria I think if he reads across the row from right to left, skipping the USC column, it'd be an appropriate onomatopoeic term for the noise the average person makes while dealing with breasts of that size from almost any perspective.
"What size are your boobs?"
"Mmm? J-- NnNnNnNnNnNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn J-- J-- NnNnNnNnnnnn... "
^ I feel this actually does properly express the experience of dealing with them in the guttural, grunting tones of the most universal of languages.
Well done, chart.
Well done.
I am, admittedly, baffled by anyone who can't envision something the average size of a human head. Could it be that the question is coming from...
Oh fucking well.
This conversation reminds me of this.
@surreality I assumed his comment could more accurately be translated from "I think I'm being clever" to "what I'm really saying" as this:
Otherwise I would've been nicer.

@Aria I'm sure it was his attempt at an erudite 'tits or gtfo', agreed. It's why 'maybe if you try to pronounce the lines in the guttural grunt-language throwbacks like you understand, it may translate' seemed about right.
...and it really does kinda nail it. I definitely remember the days of feeling 'Gf Ggffh', that's for sure.
Oh fucking well.
Time to whip out the obvious joke:
...is my personal favorite.

Applying the same theory to the line mine is on, it sounds like a surprisingly groan-heavy, drawn out version of "DEFEAT" with a solidly irritated "UGH" at the end. Which is about accurate for describing the experience.

I've never seen a bra bigger than a DD, the site I buy my bras from goes D, DD, DDD and that's the highest they've got.

This is not uncommon. And it gets worse if you have a large cup size that doesn't match the band size it's normally associated with (38D, 40DD, 42DDD, etc). I can think of.... exactly three stores that semi-reliably carry my size and usually in a limited number of styles. If the cup is right, the band is usually too big and they're like "Nope, sorry, we only carry that size with this size band." I suspect this is why most women in the States -- something like 80% IIRC -- are walking around in the wrong bra size regardless of how big they are. Like, yeah, if you're a B-cup... you might not be a 34" band. Surprise! That's not actually how bra sizes work despite what's in your local Target.
And for reference if you're an in-person kind of shopper, those stores are Nordstrom's, Soma, and Lane Bryant. All of which do fittings, but Nordstrom's seem most accurate and knowledgeable about things like.... bras that fit your shape, not just your size. Boobs are many and varied!

I tried Lane Bryant once and they wanted to go up to a 40-something+ on band to keep me within the D/DD/DDD structure. It was......comical.
It's why I'm glad that the Breakout Bras storefront was where I used to live in SC. Got a proper fitting and once I was within my proper size, the difference was just amazing.
@Aria I know, right?! I mean. That chart is weirdly... accurate in more ways than one.
@Auspice Apparently that is a LB thing. Did it to me and my sister (neither of us are 40+ band). And you know, I'm proud of my boobs, but I am NOT a DDD, either. (thank the gods, I have enough problems with them)
I thought I-35 was annoying for people merging at ridiculous moments ('Oh there's half a car-length open? lemme merge on in.'), but the route I take on my new commute is worse.
Been at the new job a week and I've twice now had people try to force me out of my lane by merging in on top of me.
Motherfuckers I have severe depression. I would welcome a severe, life-threatening accident that I am not at fault for. Bring it on.
