    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I am so sorry these jackwads crossed your path. I have to admit that in my youth, I might have been one of them. "Fat chick" jokes were funny. But I've grown up. I've learned and I have great empathy for people. I feel bad for things I have said and done in the past, but we all can relate to that. Hopefully, those jackwads will grown up - somehow - and maybe come to realize how hurtful they have been in the past. Good for you for not taking it personally. You are inspiring.

    This would be me, and as peaceful as I am I would honestly hurt them. At least I'm sure somehow Karma will eat me to it and take care of *kitten* like those.


    To the OP, sorry you had to go thru that. And does weren't people, they're animals, the bad type of animals.

    You, like so many others, mistake telling the truth with being cruel for the sake of it.
    Too many people here personalize objective observations which is unfortunate.

    As for this incident, I say this: beware cruel world.
    One never knows what struggle another human being is going through or how close he may be to the crumbling edge.
    People can snap like the lady did who burned her husband to death after he beat her time after time. Remember the movie The Burning Bed? True story.

    Somebody mentioned "karma"?
    Sometimes karma needs a little help.

    They're a bunch of worthless little pricks. I mean...why? Why would anyone want to purposely hurt a random stranger who's just living her life, walking to her car? It's a mentality I'll never understand.

    (I had a similar incident a couple of years ago and came to vent on MFP, too. It definitely helps to share with people who have been there.)

    I walk with a cane, and you would be amazed how many people try to knock me over or push me aside. Today, I had some idiot try to run me over with his shopping cart.

    We live in a world where kindness is in short supply. All I can do is pray for these ignorant people.

    To be honest, the first, and only, thing I could do was stop walking. My jaw dropped. I've NEVER met anyone like that, and, while I've been bullied all throughout my middle/high school career, never by a complete and total stranger. I walked to my car, cried hysterically for about 20 minutes, and then realized what a waste of time it was.

    My Nana always told me that no matter what size I was, as long as I had my friends and family, I'd have a happy and successful life. I have all that and more, so spending any more time on a group of ignorant idiots is pointless.

    I texted my fiancee, told him what happened, and he got more angry about it than I did. Actually, I feel sorry for that group of kids, because they will never learn to look beyond a physical appearance and see someone for who they actually are, not what the size of their jeans are.

    And for all of you who are defending the cats, I agree, lol. But some kittens can't help who adopts them. My kitty looks at me with this look, and I swear she's thinking "...really? Like...are you serious right now? This is the person who took me home!?" at least once a day, hah.

    Thanks for the support guys. It means a lot!
