Going on holiday today, on the way to the airport on a long bus journey. I'm overweight , no beating about the bush I'm trying hard to lose it and have lost some but have a long way to go. So I'm Sitting on the bus excited for hols in a great mood, an elderly man gets on with a cane looks at me and makes a very loud audible oink. I just stared at him didn't say anything I was so taken aback tbh, he proceeds to sit behind me making oinking noises. I'm really upset he got off the bus at the next stop but it's really tainted the start of my holidays..why do people have to be so unkind,.fat people know we are fat we don't need idiots like that making stupid noises and comments. Anyway sorry for the rant don't know why I'm letting it get to me so much! Thanks for reading if you have made it this far.x

I am sorry this happened to you. He must be a very sad little man to do that - it’s pathetic behaviour.

Don’t let it spoil your holiday. Have a great time!

Tootyfilou · 15/11/2025 10:31

Why didn't you say something to him? Call him out on his abhorrent behaviour. Sorry this happened to you.

CementCement · 15/11/2025 10:31

That man was a disgusting pig. Not you. His revolting prejudices are his shit to deal with. Try not to let it upset you, which I realise is easier said than done. Hope holiday is great.💐

thisfilmisboring123 · 15/11/2025 10:31

That is fucking horrible.
What a vile man.

Clearly a deeply unhappy person if this is the sort of behaviour that gets him through the day.

Hope you can forget about it and still enjoy your holiday.

Zanatdy · 15/11/2025 10:32

What a vile person. Sorry that happened to you.

JudgeBread · 15/11/2025 10:33

What a cock. People who do shit like that are not happy people, don't let him drag you down into whatever miserable pit he lives in.

Shake him off, you're going on your hols and you're going to have a good time and forget all about Farmer fucking Hoggett.

Have a lovely, lovely holiday 💐

Nasty bastard.

I think I was just in shock tbh I couldn't quite believe that he had done it. I've spent most of the rest of the journey imagining what I should have said to him tho!

He’s literally behaved like an animal. He’s a sad little fucker who can’t bear the fact that you, a woman are happy and positive so decided to try and bring you down. Don’t let it get to you. Have a lovely holiday.

Mistyglade · 15/11/2025 10:39

He’s a nasty mean old cunt. Don’t let it spoil your holiday. X

sarahbear87 · 15/11/2025 10:39

Thank you all, I just wouldn't dream of ever treating someone like that.

Flupiness · 15/11/2025 10:39

Maybe he was having a stroke.

That or he’s a cunt

pushthebuttonnn · 15/11/2025 10:39

Ugh what a Prince. God help his family, he obviously doesn't have any friends! I hope you have a wonderful time on holiday, give him no more headspace 🥰

HonoraBridge · 15/11/2025 10:42

I am so sorry. What a horrible experience. The man who did that has something seriously wrong with his brain.

MagnoliaTreeBlossom · 15/11/2025 10:53

If anything, he has showed himself to be a complete and utter pig. This brief encounter with someone who lacks social grace is now over.

He has chosen to be a nasty piece of work and not reacting probably took the wind out his sails and disempowered his nastiness. He'll be gutted while you will be having a wonderful holiday. 💐

Happyjoe · 15/11/2025 10:53

Rest assured, you're worth a million times more than this horrible, nasty man.

Blodyneighbour · 15/11/2025 10:54

Please don't let that old prick ruin your holiday. Have fun!

BitOutOfPractice · 15/11/2025 10:56

The entitlement men feel to comment on women’s bodies is astonishing isn’t it?

OP it’s him not you.

have a great holiday!

Anewuser · 15/11/2025 10:57

I would have had to turn around and say, “Do you need a tissue for that?”

Some people are just mean. Try to forget him and his sad little life, and enjoy your holiday.

Snowflakecentral · 15/11/2025 10:57

"Are you okay ? You seem to be having a stroke or a fit of some sort as you are making weird noises."
But in reality and I knew it was aimed at me it would be "What's your problem you wanker?" I'm not known for niceities. H says I put my head where most people wouldn't put their feet.
He picked on you for being a woman, the sad old twat wouldn't have done it to a man, 2o's or older might have got a smack and quite rightly so.
By the way, have a fab holiday OP.

Thebigonesgetaway · 15/11/2025 10:58

God that’s awul , I can understand why you didn’t say anything it must have been so shocking, and not everyone is able to come back at someone.

please try to forget about it and enjoy your hols. He’s a deeply unpleasant person, and you won’t be the only person who has suffered at his hands.

MyNavyPlayer · 15/11/2025 10:58

Anyone who does that is very unhappy and angry inside and just looking for someone, anyone to upset. It must have felt horrible but try and write it off, he doesn’t represent the average person. Another example - the other day I was walking my daughter to school and some bloke jumped out at us, purely just to scare us. Some men are just cunts who want to make women bad to make themselves feel better. He’s not worth the dirt on your shoe. I hope you have a great holiday!

Snowflakecentral · 15/11/2025 10:59

Admittedly ignoring him was the best thing to do OP, wish I could but I'm a hot head and have little to no conscience around twats.

RaininSummer · 15/11/2025 11:01

He sounds a bit bonkers tbh.

problembottom · 15/11/2025 11:04

I am so sorry that happened to you, just know what he did is all about him, not you.

I know it can be hard to say something back in the moment. Nowadays I’d record him and stick it on the local Facebook page asking if anyone knew him tbh. He deserves it.

We had a similar vile man who used to live round here. He eventually tried his antics on the wrong person who was leaving the pub with her boyfriend and got beaten up. Can’t say I was sad about it. He moved.
