Yelled by passersby from numerous cars as my fat sister jogged up a long steep hill near her house: "Good job! You can do it! Way to go!" My sister's private response, "I KNOW I can do it, I do it every day." Logical fallacy: Fat people never exercise, therefore if I see a fat person exercising, it must be her/his very first time EVER. Also because if they exercised regularly they would surely not be fat. Even though these people were trying to be nice, their words showed that they buy into common stereotypes about fat people.
