Why do some people have to be so mean?

    Agreed!!!!! Oh that would have been AWESOME!!

    I have had more than one incident like that in my life. I was walking across the street with my then bf in So Cal (before I went on my health kick then - about ten years ago) and these stupid college boys peeled around the corner, not heeding the fact that we were in the crosswalk not far from them, and one boy moo'd while another called me a gigantic fat *kitten*. Though the guy I was with was a giant vag, he at least acted tough and yelled after them.

    Another time I was in a Walmart and this guy called me a hippo. This was 6 months after I had given birth. I'm not what you would call a "bounce back quickly" kind of girl, so of course I felt like a giant lardo. His comment.... DID NOT HELP.

    Unfortunately people can just be mean. They feel so badly about themselves that they put other people down to make themselves feel better. I'm sorry that douche nutted up and said something, however I am pro-smashing-the-ice-cream-in-his-face. :smile:

    So today at chick-fil-a, I was having a really bad sugar craving, and I was really good on my food for the day, so I went up and bought an Ice-dream KIDS SIZE not even a small. The guy behind me turned to his girlfriend and said "She really doesn't need that ice cream" loud enough for me to hear. When I turned around and looked at him, he just got this smirk on his face. I wanted to yell "What in the world is your problem? I am 5'6" a size 4, and have a 27 inch waistline?"
    I track my calories and excercise and the one day I really want to "treat myself" some jerk that doesn't even know me has to mouth off like that. I felt like I was back in high school. Why do some people have to be so mean? :cry:

    You are a size 4, not sure if story is srs.

    Some people never progress beyond Middle School. They are still trying to make themselves feel better by hurting others.

    Thanks all, I just talked to my fiance about it and he pretty much just told me the same thing. He also asked me if any other guys opinion of my weight really mattered to me (he is happy with how I am) and that put it in a much better perspective. Thanks for letting me vent. It was just hard because he was at work and I couldn't call him about it.

    Wow. Some people... I knew someone like that, but he was nice to people's faces and only made comments behind their back. Any girl that wasn't up to model standards was ugly or fat. As both I was "Quasimodo". :indifferent:

    That guy sounds a lot like the kids in school that act like bullies because they think other kids will be impressed and think they are cool.
  • pshhh! fuuuck himmm!!! karmas a *****..just remember that ;)
  • Ya that was incredibly rude, some men in a want to be cool belittle others thinking it has elevated himself, but it has only brought down the person he was mean to and proven how ignorant he is. How unimportant is a strangers opinion in the scheme of your life, this guy probably went home with his head raised high only to realize how little he is. Theres alot of growing up needed in people who find satisfaction in doing this. Sorry I couldnt talk longer I would have wonderful but I was already late. Glad everyone on here helped you :smile: , wish i could have been there.

    Thanks. He's already a real man. He doesn't need the helmet to prove it. :bigsmile:

    Just found it weird that she has posted from his account before and that he would post on a public forum instead of calling, texting, emailing. Just felt image summed it up. It was an odd way to respond. Not being mean as much as saying how it comes across.

    1. I accidently posted from his account once, went back and edited it out immidiately because it was a mistake, and posted as myself. His schedule prohibits him from being able to access a computer all the time so he occassionally will have me enter his excercise and food for him.
    2. When he posted his response, I was at church. He had already talked to me and just wanted to re-encourage me.
    3. We do talk, email, and text when we can, but I work most of the day and when I get off work he goes to work and therefore it is sometimes hard for us to get a hold of each other. Especially since we are in a LDR right now.
    4. My comment about him was not a comparison to yourself, but rather to the person from the OP.

    Just clarifying a few things. No harm, no foul, no bruise. :flowerforyou:

    I'm glad you didn't. Don't waste perfectly good ice cream on such an ignorant fool!

    EXACTLY!! Eat the ice cream, enjoy all of it, and ignore the jerk. His opinion doesn't matter anyway.

    Are you sure he was talking about you? I find it hard to believe that even a complete jerk would say that about someone as tiny as a size 4.

    Some people can just be really obnoxious. :)
  • You should've been like, 'Your mom doesn't need it, but I gave it to her anyway'.. *cue fisticuffs*

    I kid, I kid.

    When people are bold enough to say those type of things, thats when you say something back. That wasn't nice at all and no one should judge someone by their appetite or appearance unless they are a hired fitness coach. All I can say is...couldn't have been me..

    One of my favourite quotes is 'What anyone else thinks of me is none of my business'.

    Don't let a stranger ruin your day because he or she needs to make themselves feel better.

    perhaps karma applies here
    and the cashier overheard his wretched comment,
    told the cook, who laid a big spitball on his order!!
    Gross, I know, but certainly deserved.
    cook feels bad, went home and hugged his chubby sister because it was the right thing to do
    and the cashier smiled at every customer for the rest of his shift
    and badmouth's girlfriend dumped him later that day
    then she fell in love with the cook
    the cashier met the love of his life
    sister is no longer chubby
    you get the idea here
    don't let stranger comments bother you too much
    there is always more to the story than we ever know
  • I really hate to hear about things like this. Some people really just don't know or care about the effects of what they say to people. Like everyone else said, it's obviously an issue with him. I am glad that you still trated yourself! :)

    It has nothing to do with you. It's his problem. There are some people (I notice a lot of them being men) who think that if a woman doesn't look like the models he sees in Maxim, they must be fat. Feel sorry for him. His standards and priorities are way out of whack. It must keep him from being very happy.

    Not all guys are like that..Please dont stereotype us.

    He's compensating for some deficiency of his own. Being mean is his safety. So sad for him....

    He was probably checking you out and his girlfriend caught him, so he covered himself with an insult toward you. He's a jerk, and he would have been wearing the ice cream if he said that to me. lol

    Someone may have said this already but I'm still half asleep so I can't read 3 pages of comments... BUT just remember most people who make fun / bully others usually do it because it is a mechanism of coping with there own insecurities. Don't let it bring you down!

    I don't get mad at people like that, I pity them.

    What a ****! Seriously, was he trying to impress his girlfriend with being evil? Yeah, that'll get em every time!

    He probably hasn't gotten laid in forever.
