The reason why I think most people honestly suck, for lack o

heyydanie

-for lack of a better word.


Dear driver/passengers of that red jeep,

I don't understand how people can be so cruel to someone they don't even know. What did I do to you? I was having the best night I've had in such a long time and then you went and tried to mess it all up. As I walked across the parking lot to my car in a strip-mall, minding my own business, you decided to be a jerk. Don't think I didn't hear one of you as you rolled down your window as you got closer to me, "hey guys, ready?" The rest of you in that jeep excitedly answered "Yes!!!!"

"FAT PIG!" You screamed at me. And then you all drove away cackling.

First off, I'm not sure which one, but you have one of the most obnoxious laughs I've ever heard in my life. Do something about that, please. It's worse than the sound of nails on a chalkboard.

Secondly, fat pig? OH, HOW CLEVER! Be more original. Because, ya know, I've never been called a fat pig before. Come up with some inventive insults next time, and maybe I won't laugh at how pitiful you are.

At the end of the day, I know I'm a good person, unlike you. And remember, I can, and WILL lose the weight, you can't change the fact that you're just a plain old rotten person. Not only that, but whether I'm morbidly obese or a size 2, I'm beautiful, inside and out. I have family that loves me, friends that are my world, and a fiancee who would do anything to see me happy. You are probably going to die alone, with the exception of your 67 cats, because nobody wants to be with a truly ugly person, both inside and out.

Hope you enjoyed your 2 minutes of laughing,
With love, Danie.

P.S. Next time you're going to do something like that, at least have the courage to pull over and say it, not drive away like the bunch of cowards you are. Seriously, what are you, 12? Go home and cuddle with your blankie and suck your thumb some more.


/endrant.

Just needed to get this out, hah.

The real world is filled with cruelty like that.
I'd be very tempted to hurt somebody.

There is a line people should never cross, and while it's true that obesity is a negative dilemma we face, nobody has the right to bully or kick sand in the face of people struggling. The converse of this is the fat acceptance movement that tells everybody to accept obesity. Both camps are way out of line.

I hate that you had to go through that, and as I write this, my heart is in my throat.
Thank you for sharing.

People can be so obnoxious!

Good for you! Venting sure can help sometimes. And you are dealing with it in the best way you can. You are beautiful!

becoming_a_new_me

You are fixing your issue, but they can't cure stupid. Know this...you are beautiful, determined, and kind. They had no right to be such d!cks. Max is right...that was a line that was crossed. ((hugs))

You're getting fit.
They're stupid. You can't fix stupid.
You win.

The worlds full of *kitten*! I am very sorry u had to be exposed to a whole group of em. Good job keeping your chin up! U have the right attitude!

beckylawrence70

That's just horrible, people are so cruel, I feel bad for you going thru that, keep ur head up, you're doing something good for you. Those people are jerks......hang in there!

JanetLM73

Bullies suck *kitten*! I believe in karma, and I bet he'll get his!

I disagree. Cats have far better taste than you are giving them credit for.
I'm sorry they were such jerks to you, but very grateful that you are strong enough not to take it personally, or let it affect how you see yourself. Stay strong.

hbrittingham

I'm sorry. There is absolutely no excuse for horrible people like that and you didn't deserve to be on the receiving end. Hugs to you sweetie!

(1) As Jimmy Buffet said, "There's no dumb *kitten* vaccine."
(2) Had a similar episode last summer...I think mine involved a red jeep, too, ironically...in which the cacklers honked their horn to try to freak out the fat guy on his bike. Thing is, like the above posters said, you're doing something that they can't, and more power to you.

As far as my horn-honking friends are concerned...welll...I ran a sub-25 minute 5K a couple months back and I'm fairly confident that they couldn't do it. More power to you, my dear, and all of us as we fight for something meaningful to ourselves.

Hellions be damned! :bigsmile:

You can't fix stupid but you can always lose weight!! Sorry that you had to deal with that, was it recent? It's a full moon and the stupid is everywhere!! Best of luck on your journey!! :flowerforyou: And keep your beautiful head up!

melg126

I'm sorry you went through that. :flowerforyou:

One word though... KARMA!

It will come back to them eventually!

blink1021

They really should think before they speak because one day they could be on the receiving end of a comment like that. My mother always told me that if I had nothing nice to say then I should keep it to myself.

TheKitsune6

67 cats wouldn't even want to be around them.

firesoforion

Yeah cats can judge character, of which they have none...

Nice rant. People like that are pathetic.

cressievargo

My philosophy is that I can lose weight. People like that will always be a-holes.

It isn't just overweight people, dear. I am reminded by your story of something that happened to me in high school. One of the "popular" guys in my class came up to me at my locker and said "You know, if you'd put on a few pounds, you'd actually be a good-looking girl". Without skipping a beat, I looked up at him and said "Well, at least I have hope.".

I've never forgotten that. I bet he hasn't either.

Rock on, baby. We all can be beautiful, and it ain't always on the outside.

GuruOnAMountain

Oh honey! I had a similar experience once walking home from a trip to the gym. Again, with a car full of idiotic boys. You're quite right....you're a good person who may well be overweight but you're working to change that. Them? They are scum, pure and simple. Why would any decent human being feel the need to try to humiliate someone like that?

You're going to be the winner at the end of the day.....use them as your motivation when things get tough. Imagine them seeing you in a bikini looking HOT and how much satisfaction you'd feel!

I'm proud of you for being strong and realising that they are the ones with the problem.

Sometimes, the world makes me sad.

You would do well to remember your own words.

crikey1987

What ****wads!!!!!! Ugh, that pisses me off.

Street harrassment like that is infuriatingly common for women, regardless of weight. You might want to check out some of the stories and articles on http://www.ihollaback.org/ for encouragement/support, or post your story? Always helps me when I encounter overly vocal ****brains like that on the street!

Anyway, I believe in karma, too. lol

^^^ this!

people can be so heartless and cruel. if i'd be in your place, and say, carrying a delicious hot beverage, i would have tossed it at them.

A holes seemed to be out in force today. Ran across a few on the way home from work.
It must be the full moon.
BTW, I'm across town from you.

Someone hack your account?

rawcash2012

Same kind of thing happened to me in New Orleans this past summer. Just left The Civil Wars show, walking with a friend, having a great evening and this jerk decided to shout out of his car window that I was fat then speed off... like I was gonna chase him? Not much brain power being used, not to mention lack of character.

brighteyesxluv

like my momma always says .... you can fix "fat" but you sure as hell can't fix ugly.


screw them. they dont know you
it may have hurt then, but turn it around and let it make you stronger ♥

Helenatrandom

How very sad and boring their lives must be that the most fun they could think of having is being cruel to a stranger. I can't seem to recall what my friends and I do when we are bored.... Maybe that's because we are never bored when we are together. Apparently they find their own company less than scintillating.

I do wish you didn't have to go through that. I wish I didn't have to put up with jerks every so often, too. But, like you said, we have people who love us who will tell us we deserve to be treated right. If they have people in their life telling them what they deserve, I'm sure they don't find it as comforting.

JDMPWR

To the OP, first thing that comes to mind is ****EM, either use it to fuel the fire to make your change or remember that close minded ignorant people run rampant everywhere. Even in some of the most respected people in the world, you find ignorance and stupidity. It's a sad fact of life but you are better for knowing that you can overcome anything while they are busy focusing in on you instead of trying to find a way to better themselves.

Hope this helps.
