Man oinked at me.

[sarahbear87]

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

This represents his hatred of himself
He cant cope with it so he decided to oink( wtf) at you to make himself feel better
Sad, horrible little man

Your self worth is not what a horrible little man thinks of you

Lets give him the benefit of doubt and suggest he has dementia , other than that he's just an awful man , be glad you only had him near you for a short time , some poor people have him for longer than that .
Don't give him a moment longer in your head space .
Enjoy your holiday .

Horrendous, disgusting ‘man’. Know that he has the issue, not you. Hope you enjoy your holiday ❤️

God I’d have been tempted to take his stick off him and beat him around his dense, prejudiced, thick as shit head with it. He’d be no loss to humanity would he. Just picture him with that stick rammed up his arse and laugh OP.

I may need more coffee this morning …..

What a horrible start to your holiday.

if anything like this ever happens again, stand up and shout loudly “Is there a doctor on the bus? The old man behind me seems to be very unwell. He’s making choking noises and smells very unpleasant. I think he might have lost control of his bowels”. See how he likes that!

And for anything else, just turn round and ask them to repeat themselves with a confused look on your face. And if they do, just keep saying “I don’t understand, what does [whatever smart arse comment they made] mean? Are you quite well?”

Your weight or any other element of your appearance is no one’s business but yours so don’t let anyone else’s opinion have any headspace. And enjoy your holiday. Don’t let a twat spoil it before it’s even started.

This says way more about him than you OP. You’re off on a fantastic holiday whilst he’s sitting on the bus, the highlight of his day (possibly week) being making weird noises at strangers. What a life he must lead 🙄

Could have been Tourette’s.

Solidarity, op. I’ve been the target of such abuse in the past and it’s actually horrific. It’s hurtful and humiliating and makes you just want to shrivel up and disappear. I vividly remember walking into a football match and a group of young lads ran up to me jeering, with one shouting “here’s our BIGGEST supporter”. On another occasion a man started saying ‘beep beep, wide load’ as I went past. On yet another occasion, a guy ran up to me in the street, actually put his hands on my hips, then turned to his friends, holding his hands my hip-width apart and saying “guess how wide she is”. These incidents happened almost 20 years ago but I can still remember them so vividly and I remember the prickling burning shame and humiliation.

These men are utter pricks. And vile misogynists. They’d never do that to another man. They are aiming to hurt you because we all know how much women are judged on their appearance.
Know that you have lost weight, can lose more if you want to but these men will forever be abusive dickheads.

Another one saying it is him not you, I would not have been able to say anything in the moment either. What a shame there isn’t an easily recognisable noise that conveys “you are a sad little man and I pity anyone who has to spend time in your company or calls you family!”

Can you imagine being so lacking in self-respect you would behave like that in public? He made a complete idiot of himself. At least be glad you are not like that fool.

He did not behave like an animal; give animals some credit ffs.
He behaved like a very sad excuse for a human being.
I would have been taken aback too OP, not something you'd expect from an elderly person, never mind one who is using a cane to assist his walking.

He obviously hasn't learned much about life, or had many positive interactions during his time on earth,
Imagine having so little to occupy a mind than keeping an eye out for someone to rain his toxicity on.

I'm very sorry you had such a vile beginning to your hols OP; I hope you were able to see this abhorrent behaviour as this vulgar man's problem, I'm sure he reaps what he sows in his pitiful life.

As someone who up till this year was obese my whole life I have experienced similar on many occasions.

Random horrible, twatty men who shout from car windows, or walking past me on the street.

They are ignorant, rude, disgusting people who deserve none of your attention.

Have a wonderful holiday and try to put that pathetic git out of your mind.

Sadly LOTS of men are utterly foul oxygen thieves who hate women. Don't give the lonely sad fuck another thought. Enjoy your holiday!

Old school fools need to be pulled up on their bullying. If anything like this happens again act extremely concerned and ask him if he is with someone and start looking around for a carer, maybe pop up to the driver and report an elderly man having an "episode". If he gets angry double down "No need to be scared dear, it's ok, we're getting someone to help you" etc. If they say anything mean tell people around it's ok, you know it's just a symptom of his age related degeneration/mental issues.

Nasty man! It would have been good to look round and smile sweetly and say hello, give him a shock lol. So many horrible people around, but in reality I don't know how I would have responded, I don't like confrontation, especially from strangers.

I watched/was involved in something similar years ago.

An old guy at the bank tried to pick a fight with each of the other customers queuing, a mother with a child accusing the well behaved child of being a brat, making nasty comments about other customers.

he was awful with the staff when he reached the counter.

the staff said he did this very week, seemed he would purposefully come out to insult others just for the opportunity to have something to do/someone to speak too even if it was negative.

its not about you at all, its because he doesn’t have anything else in his life and you were just unlucky enough to cross his path today.

know his life is so awful even insulting others for few minutes a day is more entertaining.

Fuck off you decrepit cunt would have been my reply.

Why did they repeatedly tolerate this? People like this should be banned from the branch - they do have the ability to do this.

I think that called for an accidentally thwack around the head with your bag when you stood up. Keep that one in your back pocket.

I wasn't going to write what I'm about to write,but fuck it-the shame isnt mine

About 11 years ago,id been through some serious crap and had a breakdown

My friends where really worried about me and dragged (and I mean dragged) me out to the pub for 'fresh air and company' (I hadn't left the house for about 6 months)

I got talking to some bloke and to cut a long story short,we had a bit of a snog at the end of the night

He immediately jumped backwards shouting 'I did it lads!' and they all started cheering

It was some 'game' called 'pull a pig'

The aim is to find the ugliest girl in the place and snog/shag her-in this case he 'won' a kebab and had my friends rip him to bits-they really went for it

It destroyed me-i didn't go out for a year afterwards but did meet dp not long after and we've been together for 10 years (and counting)

He thinks I'm the most amazing woman in the world and tells me I'm gorgeous every single day

I hope dickhead choked on his kebab and has grown up a bit (but I doubt it as he popped up on my fb the other day and hes an even bigger incel these days)

I cannot stress enough-the shame isnt yours to carry

It is not beyond the realms of possibility is it? Either way, I would presume that something is happening with him, it is not exactly normal behaviour.

He has some serious issues. Enjoy your holiday lovely and remember that when people behave this way, it’s a them problem.

I’m sadly familiar with this game too. It’s utterly vile.

Another memory has come back to me. I had ended up in bed with a guy and I was keen to meet again, and said so by text the next day. He replied that he ‘didn’t like fucking elephants’. I asked if he was using the word ‘fucking’ as a verb or adjective but I think my wit and intellect were lost on him.

Don't give him any more headspace.

You are a bit overweight, big deal, so are probably half the population and it doesn't define you. Unlike that nasty old man who is probably a lonely, miserable old bastard with no friends and if he's really lucky, a few long suffering family members that probably feel obliged and under duress to keep and eye on him.

Have an amazing holiday 😀.

That’s disgusting. Enjoy your holiday and don’t let his misogyny spoil it.
