Outraged! This man mooed at me!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I am fat. I can not believe this happened to me... in front of my son!

Was walking thru Walmart toward the toy section and these two men walking the other way started mooing. My son did not pay any attention to them, but I felt like dying. I gave the biggest go to hell look I could muster up and walked past. But really wish I had the guts to HURT them or something. Now I know why it is so hard to get a permit to carry a gun, because I was so ready to kill both of those stupid jerks.

I can not believe this happened. What would you have done?

I've been in similar shoes, only I was at work. This punk kid I was having problems with was making Shamu comments under his breath at me while we were working. I was so hurt and embarassed. I went and talked to our manager and he was told to back off. Still the damage was already done. So I know how degrading and hurtful that is.

I guess I would have asked them if they felt they had any chance of growing up to become semi-decent human beings. Or said something like, I may be fat but I'm working hard at doing something about it.. what are you doing about your immaturity and hateful spirit?

People are just amazing creatures. I'm so sorry you had to be subject to this. :grouphug: Once, someone did the same thing to me from a car driving down the road. I was stunned, wondering if I could even believe what I'd just heard. Sadly, there is some truth to the old adage, what comes around goes around. People do tend to get back what they give. So even though you get no 'joy' from their consequences, just know it will happen. :o

I'd like to think I would have walked up to them and started oinking like a pig. If they said anything, I would have said "that's the closest I could get to identifying you with a sound, as I don't know how to make the sound of a %$&(*#$" (insert your favorite word here).

More likely, I would have cried. So sorry this happened to you.

I like it gadgetlady! But the word I was thinking of would be better with fart sounds.

Sorry Poodles, that is horrible. That is why I didn't enjoy Jr. High, some people never grow up. I saw a bumper sticker one time that said stupidity should be painful. I agree and would have wanted to cause them physical pain too.

That is just so pathetic. I am fortunate that I never heard or saw such a response to me--although it may have occurred and escaped my attention. My response would have depended on whether I was more humiliated or angered by their behavior toward a stranger who had done them no harm.

I do suspect that, had I been more angered, my response would have been vile and focused on how I perceived their relationship with each other...and perhaps each other's moms...but who knows.

(If humiliated, I'd have probably slinked out crying...but that would have required that I actually cared about their opinion of me and I generally don't care what morons think of me...regardless of my size. They are, after all, morons.)

I would have spoken up in that situation but I"m a big mouth.

I would have said really loudly "EXCUSE ME! Did you MOO at me?" So that everyone else could hear.

The I would have said "I may be fat, but you are ugly. At least I can go on a diet".

Then I would have gone to the toilets and cried.

Or, I may be fat, and can go on a diet. But you just can't fix stupid.

A similar situation happened to me.....I just flipped them the bird....got the middle finger up right quick. Such insensitive comments and actions really leave me feeling quite anxious like I need to get a knife and cut off all the fat so that I won't have to go through that ever again.

Well....leopards do not change their spots.....I bet that these men do this again and sooner or later someone will deck them for it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
