Mean things you've said regarding another person's weight

skinnnyxoxo

Okay, so we all see the threads about what mean/ rude things others have said regarding your weight. But, what have you said to another person regarding their weight? Please don't judge! We all are human and tend to be imperfect at times.

Back when I was a teenager, my friend and I went to the mall. A very large lady was in front of us in the fitting room holding a dress that looked way to small to her. After seeing that, I laughed with my friend and said " How does she expect to fit that"in Potugese, since we both spoke it.
Turns out, that she understood what we said, since she gave a snarky remark back.

Oh! too funny xD

I saw someone walking on campus and told my friend "looks like her *kitten* swallowed those shorts." I was a little loud and she turned around and glared, I felt bad :O

Oooh, OP, that's harsh! But you were kids, you know?

I have one, too.

When I was little (1st grade), my friends and I started a "fitness club" and when one of the heavy girls from school came over, we decided we would take everyone's weight on the bathroom scale just so we could see how much she weighed. I was only 8 but I remember her being so apprehensive and embarrassed but I insisted EVERYONE had to do it. I don't know what got into me. I wasn't a mean kid!

The universe has randomly presented this girl to me twice in adulthood. Once at college orientation and once at the video store she worked at. Both times I pretended not to recognize her. I was such a coward. But now, I would pull her aside, ask her if I could take her to lunch sometime to catch up, and genuinely apologize for the way I treated her. She was a nice person and a very sweet little girl. She didn't deserve that garbage.

I know I'll look her up on facebook in the coming years and make it happen.

When I was younger (elementary school) I made fun of this girl whos whole family was largely overweight because her parents would bring her mcdonalds for lunch. It was mainly because I was jealous she was getting mcdonalds while I was stuck eating cold school lunches.
Then there was this boy, who in my defense was an ahole to everyone any way, I would sing (to the cops theme) "Jenny craig, jenny craig, whatcha gonna do when they come for you, jenny craig, jenny craig."

I don't feel bad for the second one. He's still a *kitten*.


EDIT- Then, about 13yrs old, my friend and I had gone to Wendys when we had a half day at school and that girl I was talking about had driven by with her whole family, in their van. We waved. Started walking home and saw that they had parked in the lot next door because their tire popped. We made mean jokes.

I haven't made fun of anyone about their weight (unless they deserved it for being a **** to me) since.

Looks like the hindeburg squeezing into a volkswagen when a really large guy was getting into his really small car, I knew the guy and he laughed but it was mean. Only reason I knew that is because someone had said that to me before!

I have struggled with my weight all my life, so I can't remember ever saying anything to anyone (or behind their back) about their weight, since I didn't feel like I had any place to talk. However, I HAVE thought numerous times that I'd never get as big as so and so, or surely THAT person is bigger than me, or worst of all: if you're too heavy to walk on your own at Walmart, should you really be putting THAT into your little motorized cart? I'm not proud. :embarassed:

When we were younger, my nickname for my younger brother was "fat boy". I called him that for years. But somewhere along the line he got very much into weight lifting and became extremely muscular and lean while I got fatter and fatter. He was in many ways my inspiration to get fit myself.

Awww, I don't think I've ever said anything mean about a person's weight.
I'm just not one to really talk about others/make fun of them,
but the truth is, looks are important to me, and I don't think I'd ever date an overweight guy--and that probably makes me just as bad as if I said something to hurt a person's feelings. :noway:

I've never said too much about anyone else's weight. I was always skinny growing up, but my mom's side of the family has always been heavy.

Someone I know called me shorty mcshorty when I wore flat shoes one day. I ignored at first and said that it was mean of her to say that but she wouldn't stop. she doesn't think that it was mean or that it should make me feel uncomfortable. Come on now. Who needs other people to remind them that they're short. I lost it at work and I wanted to shout back her at her, Fatty McFatty. I wanted to say it so bad but I didn't want to be a mean girl (because I know words can hurt) but I really wanted her to get a taste of what she's doing. So I said, "ok ugly." OMG the moment that words came out I regretted it immediately. She almost cried. Apparently, she has low self esteem on her looks. I didn't think she was ugly so that's why I said that. I said it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings if I called her truthful names. Her response, "That was mean!" That was very childish of me. I later apologized saying that I wouldn't have called her ugly if I really thought she was ugly. I never intend to hurt anyone feeling and hopefully I don't lose myself again.

Pretty much this, exactly.

Except once when I was four and sitting in the supermarket cart I loudly exclaimed how large the woman in front of us was. My mother was mortified and insists I cursed myself.

There was a lady (shouldn't use that term, she wasn't one) but she had a HUGE backside and thought she was all that and a bag of chips - I used to make the comment that "Weebles-Wooble but they don't fall down". She was just a horrible individual inside and nasty as heck to me [ excuse me for not having "D"'s]... so I felt I was justified to lower myself to her level. My bad... I'm not that way. But I still wouldn't want to run into her as she is just an ugly person inside. Fire & wood... someone gets burned.

I had a complete b*tch at the DMV get mad at me for not having the right paperwork... like I was wasting her time. She threw my paper at me and told me to get out of the DMV! I was so shocked to get screamed at by her that my only reply was "The only thing more out of control than your mouth is your weight". She deserved it.

When my sister and I would get in a fight, I would call her a fat cow, or something along those lines. I used say it when I really wanted to hurt her feelings since I knew she was so sensitive about her weight. It was my way of winning the argument. I still feel bad about that and should apologize for contributing to her body image struggles. I used to be a really skinny teenager, so I had no idea how she felt.

I haven't said anything mean regarding someone else's weight for a couple of years. I try to be tactful, even behind their backs.

After I lost about 80 lbs I was shopping for some new clothes and saw two young teenages probably 13 or 14 years old in the mall one of the kids was a chunky little feller and the other was as thin as a rail. Before they got to where I was I heard them say, "Hey look at that fat guy", I knew they were talking about me cause I was the only person in the vicinity. As they approached, I said to the skinny kid, How do you think your fat friend next to you feels about you making fun of someone else's wait. Do you know he's fatter than I was at your age so this is his future if he decides not to do anything about it. It took me 25 years to do something about it. They were shocked and scared and started walking faster away. Looking over their shoulders to see if I was following them. I just stood at the end of the aisle staring at them.

Yeah I can be quite the *kitten* at times, but hey maybe I helped his friend.

When I was 15 I was in line at a clothing store with my mom, sisters, & best friend. The guy checking us out was..pretty big. My little sister shoved herself in between me & my mom & the guy said "They joys of being small." and I *kind of* whispered to my friend "Ha, how would HE know?"

It was an awful thing to say & that is honestly the last time I remember saying anything mean about someone. I was usually a very considerate kid but I guess it was a bad time for me (parents had just got divorced, dad moved across the country) I was trying to be amusing (I wasn't).

I made a remark about my dog's weight. I called him a gluttonous, plump dog. But I don't remember making mean remarks on a person's weight.

Wow!

When i was little if someone took the piss out of me, my response would always be "atleast im not fat".
Ironic now that im fat.. lol. But when someone laughs at your flaws i guess u just laugh back at theirs..

Also there was this guy who cheated on my best mate, and he was very large. So whenever he would walk past we would yell at the top of our voices:
"Hes fat, Hes round, He bounces on the ground, its ___ ____, its ____ _____."

I'm totally guilty of being that jealous person that had made fun of a thin person- one of my best friends in college was TINY- literally the thinnest non-anorexic person I've ever seen, and she ate junk food constantly. We were watching a Dane Cook video one day where he said something about "skelator" and I kept jokingly calling her that. She told me it was really bothering her so I stopped. I was quite thin at the beginning of college (I didn't gain the freshman 15 until junior year, but it made up for it by being the junior 40 haha), so I don't know why it bothered me that she was smaller (really I supose it was that she could eat thousands of calories worth of crap a day and maintain a smaller size than me when I worked my butt off and dieted very strictly to be my size). When people made skinny jokes about me, it didn't bother me one bit- in fact I loved it because I knew they were jealous and would kill to be my size. I don't think I've ever made a fat joke about anyone- my mom was overweight my whole life due to medical issues and I saw how healthy she ate and how hard she excercised and she was still that size, so I just grew up knowing better than to make judgements on overweight people.

I struggled with weight issues since fifth grade.I mean,I have never had a BMI less than 25 in like ever that I can remember. So I have never made fun of anyone about the way they looked.The only person whom I have ever called fatty/monstor/similar terms (fondly) is my kitty who is super gigantic and is probably super-obese..lol.Though I have never been mean to anyone, I do smile to myself when people who have insulted me in the past gains weight!If that makes me a *****, so be it!

catshark209

One of my ex hubby's girlfriends said I had a bony body and a big head...I think she called me a bobblehead or something. Anyway, I said, "Well at least I'm not a sweat hog like you!".
He later told me she had cried.
I actually saw this woman at the store the other day and I kinda acted like I didn't see her. From what he's told me, she would tell him she'd catch me alone one day and "beat me up". Ghetto to the max.

I used to be so bad back in the day.................................so I'll spill some of what I said.

An overweight woman was walking in the mall and I said to a friend "Looks like 2 pigs fighting under a blanket!"

"Man that girl is so fat I bet when she takes a shower her feet don't get wet."

DdoubleU77

I've made comments like...

"would you still love me if I ever got that big?"
"put me out of my misery if I ever get that big"

I see a growing trend of being full of my BIG self now that I see it in black and white :-/

At least I realize that my situation could be worse LOL

Oddly enough, I think a woman who is overweight and carries herself with class is on another level.

OH well.

tanniew78

I can be mean even now. Especially working in fast food as I do. It kills me that people will order the largest sandwich with large fries and then order a diet freaking coke! And I make the nasty comment to others, but never to the customer that I dont know why they bother to get a diet drink, as if THATS going to make them lose weight.

Im pretty sure as a kid Ive said something, but most of my family is overweight so thats not anything I joke about. I myself have been a fatty since I was 11. So I have no room to judge. But if you come thru my line and order a large meal with a diet, yo ears may be ringing as you pull away. lol. I just firmly believe that if you are going to endulge that much you might as well enjoy the full sugar drink too.

And no, I have never ate a double quarter anything.... I cant eat that big a sandwich. And I dont eat large fries either. :sick:
