Rude people

I have such anger issues that it's probably better this happened to you instead of me, because I'm pretty sure I would have murdered her right then and there. I despise rude people and just because she has the right to 'freedom of speech' doesn't make what she had to say any less tacky, rude, disrespectful, etc. and it certainly doesn't mean she should be downright mean to complete strangers.
All that being said, try using this as a motivator for yourself. I have to admit that when I was on a plane to Hawaii this past March I was sitting next to this little twig of a girl who was texting on her phone (yes, while we're in flight, which is against the rules. Tisk tisk) and she was talking about how she was sitting next to the "fattest person she's ever seen." Clearly she lives a sheltered life because I was not even the "fattest person" on the airplane. But she was rude and hateful and overseeing those things really woke me up. I was already determined to lose weight for me, but now I have the added motivation of proving to others that I can do it. Hang in there and don't let one stupid person ruin your day and the progress that you've made so far!0 -
So what does she want all people who are overweight to die? Seriously, what she said is soooo dumb. If someone who was overweight didn't eat, it would cause all sorts of other health problems. There is something seriously wrong with her and she doesn't know anything about health or fitness is she said something like that. You have to eat, eating is not what makes us overweight.... It's all about the portion size.0

Appropriate response: "Well I hate hearing ignorant people open their mouths."
You may be overweight now, but all you need are the tools, the time, and the effort to do something about it. Nothing is going to fix her bad attitude. She clearly has some issues that have nothing at all to do with you to say something so rude. Your physical form does not determine your worth. Your character does. She is sorely lacking in character.0 -
That was just awful.
Should've said something along the lines of "yeah well I hate walking around only thinking some people are stupid then having someone like you prove I'm right"
On a serious note, though, like a comedian said "you can't fix stupid" and that's very true for her. You can fix your weight but unless people like that really try, she'll always be less than you simply because of her attitude and she won't get very far in life.
I'm sorry but Lord, it would've taken every once of restraint I could muster not to throw that hot tea in her face.0 -
Sorry, this made me soooo mad lol. I wish I would've been there when she said that. I would have informed her of her ignorance. She doesn't even have common sense if she lets herself think in that way. Fat people shouldn't eat..... lol, HOW DUMB IS THAT. Jeeze.0
-
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
I'm not even sure what to say...I'm not sure what I would say although I probably would've reamed her a new one and then regretted it (esp if I had a kid with me) so kudos for walking away....so sorry that happened to you.

I would have b*tched slapped her...
And then told her to go make me another tea....0 -

This, it works. Honestly you may be fat/overweight now but that can change, she will forever be an ignorant asshat.0 -
I am so sorry this happened to you. My experience is that you will find rude people in all walks of life, whether it is in your personal life or your online life. The fact remains that YOU know what you did or didnt do. SHE is the one with the problem. If she has such a problem watching "fat" people eat she should learn to turn her head and shut her mouth.
Let me tell ya girl, I've had people at the pool and on the beach how I could put on a bathing suit and come out in public like that. I tell them I do it the same way you do, I step one foot in at a time and pull my bathing suit up! I take my 290 (well now 275) pounds to the pool or beach any day I feel like it and during the summer you will find me at the pool each and every day. I see the stares, I hear the whispers but I will NOT let them ruin my good time. It's their problem not mine.
Another instance I have run into is, I have very unusual blue eyes. Strangers off the street stop me and comment me on how pretty or beautiful my eyes are then some of them will leave it at that and others will say, shame you are so heavy, you would be really pretty.
So listen up rude people, I know what I look like. But I refuse to become a hermit so that you dont have to look at a fat person at the pool. I'm losing weight now for ME, not for what anyone else thinks, says, or does.
Above all, do not let her remarks stop you from returning to that restaurant for your child or even yourself. You are the winner here, not the rude woman!0 -
Was she ugly? Because if so, I would have said "I can lose the weight, you can't fix the ugly, b***h." If you didn't have your son with you, I would have made a scene.
Don't let it get you down.0 -
Tell me where you live, I will shank this b*tch for you!0
-
I promise you, she chose the right one, because she needed a verbal lashing for that crap!!!!
Don't allow others to diminish your self esteem. I know it hurt you. It hurt me to read it. Unfortunately people target people because of their own unhappiness. What's on the outside isn't what matters.
But next time, "HANDLE THAT BROAD" lol, just kidding... No... I'm serious. I did like the, " Do we know each other" question, say with attitude. Then follow it up with, without allowing her to answer, because you're staring and that's really bizarre, then throw your hand up!!!! Just fun to think about how you could have handle that chick!!!! Need you to watch some Real House Wives... Pick one any one same buffonery... but it's fun to watch!!!
Take care doll and keep your head up!!!0 -
That woman deserves a punch in the baby-maker.
My friend _beachgirl_ would say she deserves a kick in the taco... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I thought this, too! Gotta love Coach Sylvester references.0 -
wait, was she very old? Maybe she had a mini stroke.
I guess I'm trying to make excuses for her behavior because it is horrible to think someone would be that way on purpose.0 -
Prejudice for other cultures is socially unaccetable, but commenting on someone's weight still isn't. I'm sorry you had to hear that, makes me wonder how she was was raised. The best i can suggest to you is think of a come-back, should you ever run into her again. something like "I can lose weight, you can't lose ugly"0
-
I am horrified for you. Poor thing. What an aweful human being. And the worst part is, when you hear something so unexpectedly shocking, it's hard to come up with a quick response.
I agree with the other poster who asked if the tea burned her face-that's what she deserved.
(((HUGS)))0 -
To bad you didn't know that was coming..you could have said "well, I hate having ugly b*tches watch me eat!"
What a horrible experience...sorry you had to deal with that! Some people don't deserve to be walking among society!0 -
that's just plain ****ty. sorry if the language offends anyone but it is really ****ty that a person, many of them, are out there just being *kitten*. i mean really why? whats the point? why be so mean? oh wait i know why your a douche bag...to make your self feel better about your own insecurities....duh i should have known. and that's really all it is..she was probably pissed off because some one gave her the herpes and just had to take it out on someone else. sorry her verbal pouncing bag had to be you...but look at the bight side...she cant get rid of her herpes...but we can lose the weight with some effort! screw the herpes people of the world0
-
Wow. All I can say is I would have left there in handcuffs. I agree with a previous poster. I have some major anger issues, and I can assure you it wouldn't have ended well for that...um, woman.
Don't let stupid people like that get you down. This thread has really got my blood boiling already! Ugh!!!0 -
To bad you didn't know that was coming..you could have said "well, I hate having ugly people watch me eat!"
What a horrible experience...sorry you had to deal with that!
That's awesome!0 -
WOW!!!! several minutes after reading your post I am still in shock. I am so sorry this happen to you I can totally relate as just last week my coworker told me how much prettier I woudl be if I was skinny like my other coworker.
People say these ugly things to make themselves feel better I hope you are pulling strength from her comment as you are in a far better place then she is. *HUGS*0 -
What a *****!! I would have bought a nice cream one and shoved it right in her face. She is obviously such a discusting and negative person. Karma will see her right. Well done you on drinking tea and treating your child.
Screw her!!!
Big hug I am sooo sorry you had to meet such a monster on a day you were doing something nice xxx0 -
As much as I agree this woman deserved a b*tch slap, I think we all need to prepare ourselves for more of this. The media, health insurance companies, and now corporations are turning us in to the new smokers. We 'jolly' folk are probably going to have to deal with a lot more discrimination going forward. It's sad - especially for those of us who really want to lose, eat healthy, etc, but still struggle.
BTW, does anyone else really hate it when some skinny b*tch puts on a fat suit for a news segment to highlight 'what fat people have to deal with'? Do you find it insulting that they think they ACTUALLY are feeling what it is like? Sorry...we were on the topic of rude people, so I figured I'd ask...0 -
By the way...don't let this get to you....it's not personal...this woman is clearly not right in the head to A. Think like that and B. think she has the right to talk to anyone like that.
Again, I commend you for not ripping her a new *kitten*.0 -
That woman deserves a punch in the baby-maker.
I was thinkin slap in the face but ... yours is funnier.
Either way I sure wouldn't be crying over it. Turn this around into positive motivation and give that B-word a beat down if you see her punk azz again.0 -
This website (and all social networks) are full of RUDE people and people that think they are better than every one else. Add in the element of fitness, nutrition, and weight loss and you have a fire storm.
Just stand your ground and ignore anyone (or block them) that you don't like on here or anyone that is mean. You're here for you and you alone.
Ummm...did you even read the post?0 -

YES!!! The fat suit thing irritates me. They can take it off when they get home in the matter of 5 minutes....we can take it off if we want to but it'll take us months/years to do so...it is kind of silly.0 -
By the way this reminds me of something that happened to me the other day and happens a lot. People who are not handicapped using handicapped parking spots.
I was at the grocery, saw an open handicapped spot and was turning to take it, when a woman whipped into it from the other side. No handicap tag or plate. I had stopped in the road when she saw my handicap placard hanging from the mirror. She said, oh I'll go move it. I told her no worries, twas OK, that her mental disability was harder to see than physical ones that I have. She stood there shell-shocked while I grabbed another parking spot and went into the store.0 -
I would have b*itch slapped her0

"I WOULD CALL YOU A C**T BUT YOU LACK THE DEPTH AND WARMTH...."
"I HATE HEARING IDIOTS BUT YOU SEEM TO KEEP OPENING THAT LOVELY MOUTH OF YOURS"
I TRY REALLY HARD TO REMAIN KIND IN THE FACE OF HATE BUT I HAVE HAD SOO MANY MOMENTS LIKE THIS I HAVWE NO PATIENCE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR. I'VE HAD A MILKSHAKE THROWN AT ME WHILE WALKING. EVEN HAD A CHEESBURGER THROWN OUT THE WINDOW OF A PASSING CAR WHILE THEY YELLED "LOSE SOME ****ING WEIGHT FATTY!"
MANY AWKWARD STARES WHILE EATING, HAD OLDER WOMEN GRAB MY STOMACH AND ASK IF I REALLY NEEDED THE ICE CREAM I WAS EATING...I COULD GO ON FOREVER ABOUT THIS.
WE JUST HAVE TO FORGIVE THEM, OR LET THEIR WORDS HURT US EVEN AFTER THEY LEAVE PATH.
I'M SORRY SHE WAS SO RUDE TO YOU. I WOULD HAVE GLADLY CALLED HER OUT IN FRONT OF THE STORE
