Someone threw a milkshake at me and oinked.

[5foot418stone]

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.

This is utterly horrendous OP, I'm lost for words. How vile. I hope you're feeling a bit better today.

Jesus Christ what a fucking arsehole. Imagine having to put up with that guy in your life, his poor family! Anyone who would do and say something like that has something very wrong with them. It's sometimes hard not to take something like this to heart, but it's seriously all about him and nothing about you. You can bet he's behaving the same to other women over any other physical trait.

OP, you are amazing, I have nothing but respect for people trying to exercise who aren't already fit. I am very overweight, I wouldn't even dare to try. That guy was a total an utter wankbadger. I hope he remembers with shame what he did in years to come, even better if he ever has a daughter and imagines someone doing it to them.

I very occasionally write a poem about stuff I notice. I once wrote this (clearly with no understanding of grammatical correctness, poetry structure or, in fact, literary skill) , I hope you enjoy it - and with apologies for the word fat rather than overweight, it just fitted better.

Ode to fat joggers

There is nothing I admire more
Than a fat jogger.

Forget the streaks of lycra
Honed and smug

No, the sweating, heaving mass
Of the overweight jogger
Has my admiration

Every breath, every pound of foot
The effort, the wheezing
It’s so damn hard.

So I will you on,
My heavy footed comrades,
Your effort is not unnoticed

I think you should report it to the police (if you feel up to it). Hope you are OK.

Hope you keep up with c25k. Are you on a local FB page? You could find a running buddy.

I’m sorry this happened OP . I have had similar (things thrown from cars and shouted) because I have ginger hair someone once threw a glass bottle at me from the top of a double decker. It’s ridiculous but don’t let it stop you doing what you want - these people will always be dicks about something whether it’s weight, hair colour or something else.

I am raging for you. Its horrid, nasty and so is the person who did this.
But it's not you it's them. Some people do this for kicks. I worked with a woman years ago who would throw milkshakes from her a car a female cyclists. When she was telling us this, she thought it was hilarious. She couldn't get how cowardly vile it is. And every time I think or hear from her (in same industry) it's what I recall the most about her.

Please report it (online is a good way) and be proud you aren't them. And keep running x

Autoincorrect , AutoIncorrect
I’ve had similar OP. Someone handed me a card on the bus once saying “You’re fat and it’s not ok.” I went after him and asked why it’s not ok for me to be fat but it’s ok for him to be a bullying cunt. He didn’t know where to put his face, he wasn’t expecting anyone to bite back I guess

This is a brilliant response! Am agog at your quick thinking😂
Op sorry, he’s an idiot. Cannot believe how rude

Jesus christ. What a complete cunt.
Where about in the country are you op?

This is awful, it shocks but doesn’t surprise me that some people can be so vile.
Hope you are doing ok and keep going! x

This is awful, I'm so sorry! Some people are just the worst.

I would encourage you to report this, as it is assault. You may find there have been other anti-social incidents in the area by the same people.
No harm in reporting on the off chance they can identify them, even if unlikely.

What a fucking wanker. If it's possible there's CCTV in the area, you could report it to the police. It's assault. If oinking twat was the driver, it's probably driving without due care and attention as well.

I've had random strangers insult my appearance - always men. It's deep-seated misogyny - for a certain type of sexist prick, women are only 'allowed' to exist if they personally see them as shaggable, Women fall into two categories - unshaggable (insult them) and shaggable (harass them with unwanted attention).

WTF! I’m so sorry this happened to you. What an utter bastard. You really should go back to where it happened, knock on a few doors and see if you can get any CCTV footage. Report the asshole. He assaulted you!

Thats awful, I'm sorry that happened to you. Could you buy a running machine or excerise bike to use at home? Please don't give up, keep going.

I'm sorry this happened to you, I've had things shouted a few times about my size, out of cars and it feels horrible at the time!

I had something happen a few days ago actually and after a run of 6 rough, long night shifts and having to get up off the last one after 3 hours sleep for a dentist appointment, I really wasn't in the mood.
The car slowed down to let me know what they thought of me being a "Fat Cunt" and so I stopped and shouted "Come on then, get out and say it to my face!" Back, he brakes and made as if to and I just stood there like 'Come on then!' and then the big, brave hard man drove off, wheel spinning.
If he was really that big, hard and clever, he'd have taken me up on the offer wouldn't he, were he so full of self belief in what he was saying.

It's made me think differently about it now, that in reality, if someone has to shout something at you while moving away, safe in their little tin box, they're a bit of a coward really, and that's not someone who's opinion I care for in all honesty.

I wouldn't recommend doing what I did, and I don't think I'd do it again because it could be dangerous, but I am actually glad I did because it's changed the way I think about it. Instead of letting it get to me and thinking I'm a lesser person in their eyes, I now think it's a bit sad and cowardly and they're a lesser person for not having the guts to even give a chance for someone to respond, because they're scared of the concequences. They're only brave enough when they know they'll get away with it.

A friend once really impressed me when she was called a fat cow a few years ago, before I put weight on and so hadn't experienced it myself - she replied by rolling her eyes and saying "God, can't you even think of an original insult? It's not like that's obvious or anything!"
He left mouthing and muttering to himself and his mates laughed. Was a great way to turn the tables.

What happened to you was awful and I'm so glad you haven't let it put you off, I too think it's assault and a shame you can't ID the car and report it, but I can imagine the shock of being dowsed in a cold milkshake was quite disorientating at the time - hope it's washed out of your hair OK.

I just don't know what's wrong with some people that they consider this type of thing funny or entertainment really.

Good luck with your continued fitness! 💐

I bet he wouldn’t have done that to a man!
100% right.
Absolutely nasty. Why the hell do people feel it's a laugh to run someone down and attack them.

I was walking in town and 2 blokes in their 20s walked past me and one shouted after me ' Fat Arse'. To be fair it was a true and obvious statement but it was said to humiliate me in front of others. My best response was ' No shit sherlock, you got that right ' and pretended I didn't care.
Spoiler - i did.

The human race is an absolute disgrace at times. If only corona wiped out cunts like him.

What a piece of scum. It's not about you op - it's because of how inadequate he is that he needs to try and humiliate others.

Why is it always bloody men!!!

Well done on you trying to do c2-5k. Absolute arseholes 😘

Arsehole. I'm sorry this has happened, it shakes you up. I've had bottles thrown at me while I'm cycling, also someone trying to smack my arse - luckily they missed or it would have knocked me off my bike which they probably would have thought was hilarious.

The best one was someone shouting "you fat bitch" at me - I'm a size 8.

Some men just think women are here so they can take out their petty frustrations and inadequacies on us. They wouldn't have the guts to do it to a man.

Solidarity to all women out there trying to better themselves. Let's not let these pathetic wankers get us down.

So sorry that happened to you OP - what a cowardly twat.
(I’m severely allergic to dairy so if that happened to me I’d come up in severe blisters at the very least! )

You should report the assault. Throwing something at someone's head and it really hurting is very much assault

I once heard a phrase that has stuck with me through life... At first they laughed and then they asked how you did it....basically referring to overweight people jogging and then they lose their weight, meanwhile the people who laughed are now in a position that they need to lose weight.

You must have been so shocked. He is an idiot. His actions might have been off the cuff but they were intended to humiliate you. In fact it was abusive in a few seconds he has assaulted you, fat shamed you and humiliated you as a woman doing something worthwhile. A few years ago I was walking through a passageway in Nottingham when a man barged past me from behind and shoved me into the wall. He shouted ‘get out the way you fat c...t you are taking up too much space’ as he walked off he looked over his shoulder and shouted again ‘you are taking up too much space’. I admit it affected me and took a long time to get over it.

What an absolute cunt! I honestly can never understand the mindset of idiots like this!

Well Done OP for getting out and exercising, do not let him put you off!

I would seriously consider reporting to the police too and finding out if there may be any CCTV, that was assault.

Keep going OP, you're brilliant!

I would report this to the police. What a lowlife.
