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

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.

Sorry but animals don't do anything like this cruel meanness.

Myfridgeiscool · 15/11/2025 17:39

What a miserable old bloke, please don’t spend any of your lovely holiday thinking about him and his horrible behaviour, he doesn’t deserve any of your brain space.

Have an amazing time OP!!

Mermaidsarereal · 15/11/2025 17:42

Horrible old man! Don't let it ruin your holiday!

Redflagsabounded · 15/11/2025 17:43

He's a sad little man filled with hate for the world and everyone in it. His life is no doubt as miserable as he deserves. Can you imagine someone like that having a life filled with joy and fun and loving family and friends? Me, neither. You were just unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn't really about you. Hold your head up and shake the fool off.

MrsPrendergast · 15/11/2025 17:44

@sarahbear87 you can lose weight if you choose to

He will always be a disgusting, vile, misogynistic cunt. Always and forever.

Imagine being so eaten up with anger and resentment about your life , imagine being so horribly dark and rotten inside......that you have to try to hurt strangers.

Ignore him and forget him.

Edit - its possible he has dementia. My Dad used to say some strange and very weird things towards the end of his life. All down to dementia.

Therefore NONE of the 'why' this man did what he did, related to you, OP

Umy15r03lcha1 · 15/11/2025 17:53

He's oinking, he's the pig.

Luckyingame · 15/11/2025 17:54

The poster who said that nasty old school fools need to be pulled up on their bullying - very true!
Agree with others, probably a very unhappy old pig.

Edwinstarrihavefaithinyou · 15/11/2025 17:56

My answer to abuse like that was ,hey cunt I can lose weight but you'll always be stupid..now fuck off.

CoralPombear · 15/11/2025 17:57

OP you may be overweight but he has an ugly personality and enjoys hurting others. No good will come to him.

Edwinstarrihavefaithinyou · 15/11/2025 17:57

Oh and enjoy you're holiday.

Sprig1 · 15/11/2025 18:01

What an awful man. I would much rather be fat and kind than have an attitude like his. Enjoy your holiday and try not to think about him. He doesn't deserve your head space.

Anyahyacinth · 15/11/2025 18:02

He is a deeply inadequate person trying to spread his unhappiness by being cruel...imagine yourself pushing him into a box that gets smaller and smaller then turn the lock then throw him into the ocean. (If he pops up again either roar like a lion back or buy a whistle and blast it in his horrid face!) Happy Holidays ☀️ 🏖☀️🌅

StrongLikeMamma · 15/11/2025 20:24

What a disgusting man!
Fuck him and his shitty little life!
Have a beautiful holiday OP.
You are worth a million times more than that pathetic man.

And you can change your weight.
He can’t lose his shitty personality.

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 💐

This. This type of person really isn't a happy person. Their normally angry and bitter

Nitgel · 15/11/2025 20:29

Some bloke called me a grandma today as i didnt move my car quickly enough for him to do a three point turn in a busy traffic jam. Wound down the windows and everything. I told him to grow up. Dick day it seems today.

Enjoy your holiday op.

Squirrelsnut · 15/11/2025 20:32

Don't give it another thought. He's a pathetic twat, you're not.

AnotherDayanotherNameChangeX · 15/11/2025 20:47

How do you know he doesn’t have Tourette’s and it wasn’t a tic?

StrongLikeMamma · 15/11/2025 20:54

Good point! Have you seen the film I Swear? It’s brilliant!

sarahbear87 · 15/11/2025 22:23

Thank you all so much 😊 I'm feeling so much better. I am now at my hotel chilling out and have put it to the back of my mind. As so many of you have said it does say more about him than it does me and I shouldn't have let him get under my skin like that. I get where some of you are coming from saying he may be senile or have tourettes etc and obvs I dont know the man and I cant rule that out and if that is the case then that is awful for him but I dont know it felt very purposeful he looked right at me as he was getting on the bus and very loudly oinked in my face. It just sent a very clear message that he thought I was fat/pig insert whatever horrible term here. But anyway I'm past it,I'm going to have a lovely holiday. To all of the people who have been treated so horribly im so sorry that you went through that.there are some nasty people out there but we mustn't let them dim our sparkle 💖 thanks all again for cheering me up hope everyone is having a great eve x

You should have tripped him up on his way past you to get off the bus. What a bastard.

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

I'm so sorry that you were treated that way what a vile piece of shit he and his friends are. I'm so glad that you went on to meet your lovely dh x

I'm sorry this happened to you. But please don't let it upset you. its not you its him. I've known some really horrible people in my life and the thing they all had in common was that they were really miserable and clearly hated themselves.
