I agree something like that could be offensive, as would be walking up to a blind person and shouting "I CAN SEE", or a wheelchair-bound person and shouting "Look at me I can walk."
At least in my mind, there's a difference between making normal conversation with somebody just like you would normally make and rubbing their "disability" in their face.
Would it make you want to stab them in the face if someone used the slang forms of 'heavy' or 'fat' around you?
