Grocery Store Rant! Some people are idiots!

So I made my weekly trip to the grocery store to stock up my yummy healthy foods. I was standing in the line waiting to pay for my fresh fruits and veggies, super lean turkey burger, fish, morning star items, frozen veggies, greek yogurt, nonfat cottage cheese, whole grain pasta, beans, etc. This woman (and I use that term lightly) behind me loudly says to her husband "You see? That's why I don't eat healthy...it's obviously not working for HER". Mind you this woman had probably 50 lbs on me, the cart was filled with TV dinners, fatty ground beef, beer (no problem with that, just making a point), tons of non-diet soda, sour cream, etc. The only veggies was some canned corn. I felt sorry for the husband cause he was trying to hide behind her when I did the dramatic slow-turn, gave her a hard-a$$ed stare, looked her up and down, and said "Actually, not that I would ever need to answer to you, but I have lost over 187 lbs eating this way. What's your excuse?"
I turned around and she starts grumbling to her husband "I bet she's so b!tchy because she is hungry" I turned around again and said "you know, one of the benefits of a healthy diet is 1. I am not deaf, so I can hear you, and 2. I am able to eat quite a bit more healthy food with lower calories than unhealthy calorie-dense food. I am never hungry, and in fact I am a generally happy person. Perhaps you should try it sometime, maybe then you won't be so irritable." I turned back around again to hear the husband tell her to shut her mouth before I rightfully punched her in the face. I have never been criticised for eating healthy...most people ask me for recipes when I am in line. Goes to show that the miserable ones aren't those of us on this site getting fit, but rather the rest of them wishing for a better life but not caring enough to persue it.

Seriously, this girl is a piece of garbage. She's obviously a miserable human being, and her husband probably thought you looked hawt.0 -
I can't believe someone would say that. How hateful. Sorry that happened, but she ended up looking like a complete idiot so that's good. Glad you stood up for yourself!0
-
WOW. Where do you live and where do you shop? If I was with you, I would've ripped them a new one and they would've most likely driven into oncoming traffic on the way home. Just sayin0

I bet she had pajama pants on too!!0

1. I love your retort
2. OMG I cannot believe the ba!!s on some people! Hmprh!0 -

Lol!! True...maybe we should put the two in a room and sell tickets!0 -
You were far more polite than I would have been.0
-
Holy crap, what nerve she had talking to you like that... High five those were great comebacks...
That lady ugh what a *****!!!0 -
What a horrible, rotten person!
Good for you for standing up for yourself and giving her a good what-for!0 -
wow...... her comments were just totally out of line. I bet her husband was totally embarrassed by her.0

Battle of the b!tches.... in the mud. We should. Though your lady sounds like she would win just by crushing....0 -
Hurting people.. hurt people. I'm so sorry that the woman in the checkout was so rude!!! I don't think anyone should even look in another's grocery cart.. when did it become o.k.to be that nosy? Nerve!0

I'm in Idaho...she didn't have pajama pants on (I looked), but they were well-worn out sweat pants that were probably never used for their original purpose. I soooo wanted to say many other mean things, but decided to take the high ground.0

Holy cow!
Apparently eating unhealthy hasn't made that woman any happier. Of course, maybe her husband was pressuring her to eat better, and she took it out on you. I feel sorry for her. She is likely miserably with her body, and her bad habits aren't helping matters. You handled it well.0 -
LMAO!! Well done you for speaking up for yourself!!0
-
You maintained, I would have hit her in the head with one of my morning star items.0
-
That is so crazy!!! She was nothing but an insecure old cow, ugh, some people.0
-
You should have mentioned your weight loss too.
She did.0 -
I would have smacked the woman straight across the face with my cabbage. Far more polite then I'd be. Kudos to you. :flowerforyou:0
-
I am so glad you said something to her!0
-
You should have mentioned your weight loss too.
That was the first thing I told her0 -
I probably would of lost it. I would of said something snarky to her too.0
-
I usually think of good zingers way after the fact. Here's one for the fat biotch in the grocery store: "Oh yes it is working. Before I started my fitness plan, I looked like you!" Hee, hee. Feelin' wicked. But dang sure not hungry!0
-
WOW! How dare her for saying that to you. Good for you for telling her off like you did!0
-
People are always trying to find excuses or reasons to justify what they do.
Same as "If i quit smoking i will probably just get hit by a bus anyway" ...funny but i still hear that one.0 -
GO YOU!!!!! 1)your weight loose is amazing you should feel proud 2) on standing up for yourself.0
-
I totally love your comebacks! She is obviously a very miserable person! And wow you are an inspiration!0
