in Chit-Chat
I can't believe what I heard a group of teens talking about yesterday. While I was waiting for my kids to ride a ride at the amusement park, I overheard a group of 5 teen boys commenting on a large lady. She was obviously overweight, but so what. She was taking her child out of the stroller so they could ride the carousel together when they walked by. They LOUDLY said "I hope they have bigger seats for her big, fat a**!~" and continued to make fat jokes. I looked at my daughter in amazement that I couldn't believe what I heard...I was so mad! About that time, the lady heard as well and turned to look at them too. My heart broke-all I could see was her sad face. I was in shock and all I could say was Damn, that was RUDE...and I hope those little douchbags heard me too!~ Another guy heard as well and told them they were being rude... Apparently someones parents didn't teach them any manners.

    yeah, a lot of people just do and say whatever they want, without any thought of how it might hurt someone. don't be afraid to tell someone when they are being a jerk because they don't know what is going on with that person who they just made fun of or how deeply it can effect a person, so at least by sticking up for them, u can show them that someone is on their side and doesn't think that way about them. whatever happened to "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"?

    There is no accountability anymore...if the parents heard you saying something to the little darlings they would probably want to sue you for infringing on the little angel's right to free speech. Makes me sick.

    I am that lady...i am someone who is abused by groups of skinny little teenage ****bags on a regular basis. I hate these kids, their rudeness stays with a person forever, trust me. I remember incidents from years ago like this...and those kids don't remember i was even in their presence...but i remember their faces and words and the way it made me feel...i believe in karma so i hope life has got them back for hurting me...every last one.

    Sometimes it makes the situation worse. Sad but true.

    It is really rude to be sure! On the flip side ( I am certainly not excusing their behaviour)

    I was out to lunch with my Dad about 18 months ago, my Dad was 71 at the time, he was dithering at the counter ordering the food and a man in his 40`s was saying very loudly, hurry up you old f*** we haven`t got all day. So I went in all guns blazing and told him to shut his big mouth etc.etc. His first words were "what has it got to do with you, you fat f***" I was around 180lbs and 5`4" He was a lot bigger than me (fat wise) We continued to banter words till the Manager came over and threw him out.

    But it played on my mind that yes I was overweight and so here I am down to 140lbs. I don`t want anyone to say that to me again!

    Reminds me of the overweight lady bus monitor and the kids that made fun of her. The father of one of the boys couldn't BELIEVE his kid acted like that and was so upset and disappointed. Every kid who does something like that should be made to face the same punishment those kids did.

    That is sad!! That poor lady knows she is overweight she doesn't need to be reminded by p#@s Pots that are rude. If you would have said something to them do you really think they would have cared??

    Oh believe me, it's not only kids. I was at the store one day and a woman came in with her baby, Her baby started crying (as most babies do) and these two adult women were snickering about her. I was looking through clothes right next to them, They were saying, "OMG, if that were my kid I would have just stayed home, why would she bring a baby to the store if she were crying." I couldn't help myself, my blood was boiling the more they talked about this poor woman who was obviously frustrated as well. i straight up told them, "Yeah, so she is going to let her baby control her life and stay stuck in her home just to convenience rude people like you." They had the audacity to back up there complaints with, "well, when I had my kids I would have never come out in public if they were crying like that" I just looked at them in disgust and walked away. Sometimes people are just really rude and unfortunately that rude behavior gets transferred to their children. I think it is terrible to comment on someone whom you have no clue of their life or their story.

    Most people in this world are a bunch of idiots. What goes around comes around to them in the future.

    That makes me so sad...I'm 18 but would never, ever, ever, in a million years make or allow comments like that to be said by either me or my group of friends. :(

    I can't stand people like that. Years ago, I was outside watering my garden (in grubby clothes, looking pretty gross, I'll admit) and two teenage boys were walking on the sidewalk. One said to the other "There's a girl for you!" and the other responded "Ugh, no thanks!"

    I sprayed them with the hose.

    I suppose if they'd have shown a little more restraint, I would too. I don't put up with BS like that and neither should anyone else.
