"How do I transmit subtle 'leave him' vibes to this woman in this sandwich shop whose boyfriend told her that the tuna melt would be 'a little fattening, babe'," New York-based writer Rachel Syme shared.
She added: "I went with an unsubtle huffy sigh."
Naturally, everyone else was pretty p*ssed off after hearing the interaction too, and came forward with their own experiences of being body shamed by their partner in former relationships.

"I was in a relationship like this with a gym rat boyfriend who was super judgy of all my choices, who at one point was literally saying to me daily 'if you loved me you would exercise'," tweeted one person.
Another person shared: "My ex did this all the time. Once he shamed me so much over ordering grilled cheese by the time it came O was crying and asked the waiter to just wrap it up. I don't think I ever ate it. Seriously girl, run. Life is too short."
"Working in retail, I had a woman ask her husband's advice on a dress. 'Don't plan on buying it unless you're also planning on a diet,' he replied," recalled a third.

"Once on a night out, a beautiful girl's bf was clearly putting her down. He went to the loo & I complimented her dress. She was obviously upset so I told her she could do so much better. She FBd me next day, finished with him a week later & we're still in touch," tweeted a fourth.
Tell that boy bye and enjoy that tuna melt.
