people can be so mean :(

rcatr · May 2010

So I was out for my usual run and I'm more than half way done when this car drives by and this guy sticks his head out the passenger side and screams, "Hey baby!! Ha just kidding, YOU'RE FAT!!" and kept driving like little cowards. I seriously couldn't believe someone would do that. It was so hurtful. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it just really struck a nerve. I began crying as I was running but I kept going and didn't stop. I didn't want him to stop me from having a good workout. The funny part of this story is that after I started crying and thinking of how much that hurt my feelings, I thought to myself...I can't wait to get on MFP and tell everyone ha. Anywho...I'm going to try and forget about it for now and just remember he doesn't know me or my situation and he is a big fat D-bag.

uh WHAT?! Why are people like that? I'm glad you were able to move past it. To me, people who say nasty things are really just unhappy with themselves. Man alive that was mean! I'm all fired up just thinking about it! :explode:
I had similar instances in high school and even up til recently so it makes me really angry for you. I hope that you are having a much better day full of tons of compliments! :bigsmile:

That's terrible! I remember a comment at the gym once-that had me so upset. Just remember to stay positive and you are beautiful! Keep running-don't let this scum hurt your progress.

LOL. Next time, get his license plate number and post it up for us to, ah, NOT act on.

I don't know him, but I can honestly say, I hate that little dweeb. I had the same thing happen to me last fall, and I did the same thing...kept on going, cried after I got to the safety of my car, and then came on here, vented, and felt a little better. How dare anyone think they have the right to do something like that, eh?

There are two kinds of people in this world - those whose opinions you care about and those you don't. I believe the "d-bag" in the car falls into the former category.

I've noticed people like that have bigger problems than the diahriea coming out their mouths.

The only thing you can control is yourself, and while you were upset you did the right thing by continuing your run.

To those that are afraid to run or walk outside....do what you NEED to do to reach your fitness goals. To hell what the nieghbors may or may NOT think, from experience most of them won't even notice you are there. Which could be a problem if they're driving. By not going on your walks or runs you're letting them get over on you.
