Someone threw a milkshake at me and oinked.

I was out for a walk tonight and I decided to try a little jog to see how it felt as I want to try c25k but I'm worried I'm a bit too fat still.

Anyway, I was just jogging along when I saw a car slow down out of the corner of my eye and then a milkshake smacked me in the head. Bloody hurt so I stopped and took out my ear buds and this guy is hanging out of the car window oinking at me.

I was too shocked to say anything to him so I just dipped in to the nearest garden, as if it was my house and I was going home, and the car drove off with the bloke yelling "fat cunt".

It's shook me up a bit, tbh. It was a couple of hours ago and I'm posting it here because I just need to get it off my chest. I keep going from upset to angry but also laughing because who actually does that to someone?! It was absurd.

What an absolute cunt! I bet he wouldn’t have done that to a man! Do not let that pos deter you from trying to better yourself! I’m sorry to read that you had to go through that .

Yellowcrockpot · 30/05/2021 00:01

Oh you poor thing, op.
What an utter bastard.
I really hope this doesn't put you off going out and running again, these kind of people will do these things to anyone, not just you, and it's nothing to do with you personally.
I really hope you can rise above this awful behaviour.

It's says everything about them, and nothing about you.

alwaysscared · 30/05/2021 00:02

Sorry this happened to you. Says more about them than it does you.
People can be arseholes
I'm trying to lose weight at the moment and keep thinking about couch to 5k, just can't get my arse into gear!

Houseofvelour · 30/05/2021 00:02

omg that's awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Pebbledashery · 30/05/2021 00:04

Please don't stop running. Just run further and faster.
Absolutely vile people.

Enough4me · 30/05/2021 00:07

This is wrong on so many levels and basically points to him being low-life scum.

Try to move on from this and walk or run when you want to OP, perhaps get angry and channel that into exercise (I'm thinking boxercise moves imagining hitting his face).

HoppingPavlova · 30/05/2021 00:08

Christ people are weird, and cunts.

Thanks everyone.

It's not going to put me off! I just can't believe it happened. Bonkers. The worst that has happened before is a couple laughing at me and a man telling me I shouldn't exercise on the beach because someone might mistake me for a stranded whale ( which didn't even really make sense).

victoriaspongecake · 30/05/2021 00:12

Better to be you than them! You should be proud of yourself for having a go at running. I’d love to have done couch to 5 k when I was younger but never did.

Ostara212 · 30/05/2021 00:12

OP I am so sorry

Tbh I'd be wanting to know if there's CCTV around.

Nasty piece of work, hope he gets what he deserves.

Sadly, I even try to walk facing oncoming traffic, as a teen I was taught it was safer.

Misseasteregg · 30/05/2021 00:14

Good god how horrible hope your ok

Rainbows89 · 30/05/2021 00:16

Ugh that’s awful I’m so sorry OP.

Bloody good on you for getting out there.

Winterwarrior · 30/05/2021 00:17

I’m really sorry this happened to you. It says more about him that you.

ElizabethTudor · 30/05/2021 00:17

God, what an absolute hideous individual.
Glad you can laugh about it Op.
Keep on going - ignore the pillocks like this and the other twat at the beach. 👍🏻

PurpleRainDancer · 30/05/2021 00:20

Sorry that happened to you.

Ring the Police - why the hell should he get away with assaulting you.

Galaxyinmypocket · 30/05/2021 00:21

It happened to me once too. I was walking home alone and someone threw ice cream at me from a car. A few lads. Pathetic. I was really shaken and took it quite personally at the time but I look back n think they were just stupid young lads who had probably done it as a dare.

Anyway, dont let it stop you from jogging.

UhtredRagnarson · 30/05/2021 00:24

Urgh what a grade A cunt!!

Next time (hopefully there will never be one) OP hold your phone up as if you are filming him. Even better if you actually can get a photo or footage. But the fear that he has been caught on camera will have him shitting himself for a while.

Asherline · 30/05/2021 00:25

This makes me so mad! How pathetic and sickening are they to actually go out their way to slow down and abuse a stranger. The must be real losers to take any pleasure in that. To me that's school bullying which is awful as kids but you grow out of it. I'm glad you won't let it stop you, I just know so many people in a similar situation It could destroy their effort to get healthy And really affect someone's mental health. They must have a miserable home life to be that kind of adult

Pixiesfan · 30/05/2021 00:25

I'm so, so sorry you had to experience that. People can be fucking wankers .

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 30/05/2021 00:27

There are quite a few arseholes on the loose.

You met one.

Good on you for trying. I think my knees would disintegrate

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 30/05/2021 00:28

I’m my opinion that’s verbal and physical assault on a lone woman, I would call the police, yes it was ‘just’ a milkshake but it could have been something far, far worse, can you remember the make of car or anything?

LittleMimi · 30/05/2021 00:29

What a vile person!

I never understand people who attack overweight in general but especially for exercising. They’re trying to make positive changes and you attack them for that. It’s gross.

RickiTarr · 30/05/2021 00:29

If there is any chance of identifying his registration plates from nearby CCTV I would actually report it.

Imagine having to live in his head with the tumbleweed and strange unmediated impulses shooting through.

Hope you’re okay.

converseandjeans · 30/05/2021 00:29

That's horrible. Try not to let it put you off getting fit.

nocoolnamesleft · 30/05/2021 00:29

He threw something at you that hit you. Quite aside from the appalling fat shaming, isn't that assault?
