Publicly humiliating someone is mental.

You should have said "and retards should wear helmets Where's yours"

Mental retardation is a medical term.

I suppose you think you're so much better that the people who called this woman fat. Yet your comment, especially with the added "helmet" comment, is every bit as insulting to people with this medical diagnosis as the "fat girl" comment. Why would you say something like this?

Just like the bottom line in my profile says: Fat people are second class citizens. We disgust most people and they can't hide it.

I'll share my public humiliation story. It still pi**es me off just thinking about it.

I was in Safeway shopping. I use one of those riding carts because of my back injury. I was sitting at the end of an aisle checking my grocery list when two young guys were walking by. These guys were probably 18-20yo. One of them grabbed the other one's arm and stopped him right next to me and said "uh oh, I think I have to let a fart!". Then he bent over, put his butt in my face, pulled his *kitten* cheeks apart and farted in my face. Then they just kept walking and laughed like it was the funniest thing they ever saw.

I'm sure their parents are very proud of their nice clean-cut young sons.

Only d***heads do that s**t!! I probably would've punched him. But that's just me. : )

The man was obviously a complete jerk.

People like him are generally trying to make themselves feel better by putting someone else down, don't listen to him. Anyway, you can bet your bottom dollar he has a small *****!

Onwards and upwards, don't let him ruin your day.

I don't think this is true.

How so?

I get that this is motivation and support so everyone is all sorry that happened and they don't want to let it get you down, and while that is true and support is good, I'm going to say it's on him for being a jerk and saying something inappropriate but it's on you that you left and let it ruin your evening. I once had trouble getting the safety bar down over my chest at an amusement park on one of those suspended roller coasters; the two young boys in the same row as me took notice and didn't waste anytime with remarks and giggles which was only made worse when the attendant had to help me. I was there to have fun and and no way was I going to let someone's bad manners ruin it for me. I was thrilled when they bar latched but even if I had to have walked out of that ride I would have let their comments wash off because my self worth is not based solely off my looks. Find something about yourself to love enough that when people make rude comments you can ignore it and still enjoy yourself and if you can't do it on your own get a therapist and build some resiliency. there are always going to be rude jerks in the world, today it might be that you're too fat, but when the weights gone or heaven forbid you are never a perfect size 2 or what if someone doesn't like your hair or your too something else are you always going to leave?

Guys are a-holes, I know this because I am a guy, ignore it..

I didn't just pull that statement out of my *kitten*. Before my back injury, I was VERY active, in shape, attractive and got lots of attention and second looks. People smiled when they provided service and made small talk back with me. Now I'm fat and not so pretty anymore. I have real life experiences to base that statement on. More often than not, I am ignored when I wait in line, cut in on when I wait in line. When I use the electric grocery cart, people cut in front of me and stop, so I have to wait until they are done before I can go. Once in a while someone is actually polite to me (maybe one out of ten). At least I have a clear conscience; before I injured my back, I always offered to reach something for, or otherwise help, those less fortunate than myself. I could go on and on, but it would probably ruin my day to dwell on that stuff. Well, it's off to the grocery store. Thank goodness, I still have my cheery persona when I go out.

I actually read your post and you did have a point to make. Could I suggest using some punctuation and paragraphing to make it easier to follow? I'm not trying to be a jerk - really - it's just that so many good posts get lost because people fund them hard to read.

Disgusting. What an absolute d-bag. Don't let him get you down, since he's lower than a slug.
