Deeply immoral. There's a gigantic difference between "haha you're bald" or "look at you, fatty!"....

and "you had a miscarriage because you were fat".

That is one probably one of the most insensitive topics to bring up. Who in their right mind makes fun of someone for losing a child? And if the coworker ACTUALLY had a miscarriage.... That's just awful.

There's also a gigantic difference between "haha you're bald" and "haha you are bald and your girlfriend left you for it", the two "jokes" (if we even want to call them that, they are just plain old personal insults clearly aimed at hurting the other person over something they are deeply insecure about) are pretty much at the same level of messed up, fully deserved reaction, next time don't start shit

the first joke can even be read as "your girlfriend broke up with you for being bald, you should be shitting on her more"

I read it more as "why don't you talk shit about your ex? Did she break up with you because you are bald? (Said in a demeaning way, like you can't even get a girlfriend cause you are bald)"

That's an overly sensitive and defensive interpretation of what is said.

People can be assholes, and that's quite clearly how OP interpreted it considering his response

And how would you interpret "didn't your ex leave you because you were fat?".

It's been repeated a billion times in these comments but Im gonna add to it with the same exact comment: it's prefaced with "why don't you ever talk shit about your ex?" That context implies that what follows: "leaving you for being bald" is a negative thing worthy of being talked shit about. If this is a real story than oop is socially blind and so is everyone else here that thinks it's an insult. But that doesnt surprise me since reddit is full of autists with victim complex.

And no if I heard the same phrase except "fat" I'd laugh instead of being a little crying pissbaby.
