I thought the article was ok, until I saw the picture of that creepy little bastard, yeeeech.

Short people got...no reason...to live...
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

/oh, you saw it coming

This is what should have happened.

What is so offensive about using the word midget? I had a midget friend in HS who didn't care if we called him that.

Okay, I have to say... as much as it would suck to have someone run from you and scream, I think it's probably legit that she has a fear of little people. I know other people who have the same sort of issue, though maybe with a little more social conditioning.

People are afraid of clowns, buddy, and they're human, too. Sort of.

/yes, she was a dumbass
/but really, dude, get over it. You don't want the people at McDonald's to be your sort of people

Midget Clowns are the worst of both worlds

Maybe it was the Nocturnal Argentinian Sideways Gnome. That dude's pretty scary.

Oh, and I loved the "Big Trouble" caption on the story.

"But grown adults to act like that?"

Grown adults working in McDonalds are probably not exactly breathing down Stephen Hawking's neck in the intelligence stakes.

Also, where are all the Cartman references?

Rude? Probably.

Cause for a lawsuit? Come on.

I worked at McD's in high school. Once, while a manager was hosting a kid's birthday party dressed as a clown, she went into an epileptic fit. It scared the hell out of me - she was really thrashing around, food and party crap was flying everywhere, kid's screaming, the birthday boy's dad screaming "Get this Goddamn clown out of here!" I had to help drag her away, but I definitely wanted to run away and scream, so I can relate to this employee. Stuff happens- No dough for the little guy; free burgers, maybe.

/True story. Just thought I'd share.

Little (heh) known midget facts via Patton Oswalt:

1. If you hit a midget on the head with a stick he turns into 40 gold coins.

2. If you throw a midget into a tub of hot water, he makes sleepy-time tea.

3. If you kick a midget in the balls, he turns into eight squirrels and they run off into the forest.

4. If you lose a fight to a midget, you become one.

The employee probably had number 4 in mind and didn't want to take any chances.

I would have been more afraid if it had been a Fry Guy.

Asinine Subby? More like hilarious. This is the only little person I would run from:

Wade said, "You can't have a phobia of a person. I'm a human being. You can't have that type of phobia."

Phobias are not rational. While it's not politically correct I'm sure it's quite possible to have a phobia of black people, for instance.

/I has a phobia of people who smell bad

Jument: Phobias are not rational. While it's not politically correct I'm sure it's quite possible to have a phobia of black people, for instance.

That's why they should always sit at the back of the bus.

Someone doesn't understand what "phobia" means.

Whatever: Rude? Probably.

Cause for a lawsuit? Come on.

Yup. The woman is scared of midgets. Sure, she could've handled it a little better, but I don't see why he's so incredulous about her fear.

So that's where he worked after getting fired from Subway...



Obscure?

If you straighten out the lines on his forehead, he's 5'9".

The article didn't mention he was dressed like this

"

"Don't get short with me, lady."

is not impressed ..

Midget Porn?

She's not the only person being small-minded about this.

/sell McD stock short
//slashies scare me

Whatever: Cause for a lawsuit? Come on.

Read the article again. He specifically said he has no intention of suing, but hired a lawyer to make sure things go through the proper channels to ensure diversity training and such. I'm not certain why a lawyer is required for that, but I'm willing to take his word on the not suing part.

Yeah, that whole thing doesn't fly. Come on. Phobias aren't rational.

/Terrified of saliva, to the point of anxiety attacks and vomiting.

reminded me of this movie:

Non-story. Over-startled staffer.

BigDumbGuy: What is so offensive about using the word midget? I had a midget friend in HS who didn't care if we called him that.

Did you say midget or midga? There's a difference.

maybe she thought the person was a mouse ?

Wade said, "You can't have a phobia of a person. I'm a human being. You can't have that type of phobia."

He comes up a bit short here. You can have a phobia about anything.

bonehead800

You're right. I read through it in a rush, but once "lawyer" caught my eye I was fired up. Can't people just get over themselves and move on? Criminey.

Wasn't Grimace around to bounce his punk azz?

Hey, hey is a cute little guy. I love midgets.
Midgets clowns? Best of both worlds.

"Stop, stop. He's already dead."

/ obscure?

I tried so very hard not to burst out in laughter while RTFA-ing, but


He said, "Little People of America is going to write a letter on my behalf stating that they do some type of disability awareness training."

just didn't let me.

Jesus Christ, Fark, where are the pics of Brian Peepers?

Damn, you guys are slipping.

I'm a woman!?!?

Porn star Bridget the Midget

This is really going to get interesting if she really does have a diagnosed phobia. It would be disability vs. disability. The key thing we don't know at this time is if she was hot or not.

Well, to be fair, it was probably one of those McTards that McDonalds always hires to punch the pict-o-buttons on the McRegister.

Makes me think of the "McHammer" song Ya Can't Touch This.

/McHammer? I know it's not obscure. This is Fark, for fark's sake.

"I want people to say, 'That's a little person or dwarf,' and then I want them to come up to me and introduce themselves because I want them to get to know Ethan Wade and who Ethan Wade is."

I just like how that sounds. Who he is, what he be. What his thing is all about.

I knew a girl in High School who was extremely terrified of people in wheelchairs. There was no real basis for her fear, but if she saw someone in one, she would have a full on panic attack.

I on the other hand, am terrified of birds. Especially pigeons.

I think she probably has a real fear. Most phobias I know of make little to no sense.

This guy is an idiot. Disability awareness training isn't going to make the girl's phobia go away...

Can some one post a picture from Willow?

Dwarf: Super-size me.

McDonald's Employee: What am I, a farking wizard?

ElegantGoose: /McHammer? I know it's not obscure. This is Fark, for fark's sake.

"It's M.C.Hammer"

God I loved that video.

GIS for sexy midget.

/Why? because someone was gonna do it sooner or later.

I predict he wins millions.

Lawsuit? Give him a Happy Meal and be done with it.
