Outraged! This man mooed at me!

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.

(((Poodles)))

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.

...

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

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.

Photonut....its either yogurt.......or yogurt........I'm on my preop fast now........LOL

Ah, well in that case... no worries! That stuff will slide right off and help your skin look better! *laughs*

I work at a hospital where they send people for alcohol and drug rehab. The majority of the "guest" are court ordered to attend for a minimum of 21 days so they are not happy with their situation anyway. While walking to my office I had to pass a fenced in area where these "guest" smoke. One said, "look at that pig". Pissed me off so I looked at him square in the eye and said, "I may be a pig but look who is in the cage". The guy he was standing beside started to laugh and the guy who said it to me was so shocked he could not respond. I felt wonderful all day long. I may be fat but fat does not pad my feelings.
