Road rage driver called me fat

Had been Christmas shopping yesterday, driving home and traffic lights turned amber as I was literally driving through them.

At the next set of lights some angry man got out his car shouting at me I went through a red light (I certainly didn't as I have the dash cam footage) He was so angry, and yet I hadn't affected him in any way shape or form.

I told him to get a life and he called me a fat bitch. Then got back in his car screaming insults as he went.

I am still shaken but his words have really upset me. I feel down today and embarrassed. I didn't even think I was fat, so why would he say that to me?

It would be the first insult he thought of. I think 'fat bitch' is the go to insult when men shout at women.

I would not give him another thought.

He said that to you because he is a dick and it was the first thing he thought of to insult a woman. It had nothing to do with your weight.
