I had a lovely day out at the seaside today with my family. We'd bought fish and chips and were sitting on the sea front to eat them. There was a woman on the next bench who kept looking over and giving me funny looks. I didn't think much about it and finished my fish and chips. The funny-look woman went to her car, parked just along from the bench we were sitting on while I went for lemon tops (so we passed each other next to the car.)

She looked me up and down again and muttered something that I didn't catch, so I ignored her and went for ice cream.

Anyway, once I'd bought the ice cream I went back to the bench and handed them out, then sat down to enjoy mine. I'd had a few licks (ooh er!) when the other woman came marching over and told me I was disgusting for eating what I had, how dare I when I was already fat, and a few other things in that vein. (I know I'm fat- that's why I'm

I told her to fuck right off, of course and her husband pretty much dragged her away. The encounter put me right off my ice cream so I waiting until they were out of sight then went to her car and smeared it all over the window and under the door handles.

Now I've had chance to think about it, I feel like a bit of a shit but at the time it was very satisfying! Was it a really terrible thing to do?

well YADBU for this: I'd had a few licks (ooh er!)

Nataleejah · 20/09/2015 20:49

You should have smeared it in her face

chinam · 20/09/2015 20:49

One of you behaved totally inappropriately. Hint, it wasn't you. Maybe she's on some crazy diet and has finally been pushed over the edge.

Yanbu cheeky bitch commenting on your appearance.

Think I've been to same seaside today Smile

PaulAnkaTheDog · 20/09/2015 20:50

What? I literally only ever hear about these kind of encounters on nunsnet. Where the hell do you live?!

SquinkiesRule · 20/09/2015 20:51

Serves her right. What a horrible woman.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 20/09/2015 20:51

Grin nunsnet! Fat fingers have potentially helped me create a brilliant website.

Iloveonionchutney · 20/09/2015 20:52

You were a lot nicer than I would have been, YADNBU

Blackcloudsbrightsky · 20/09/2015 20:53

I can well believe it happened.

I had a friend who was very overweight and people did comment.

londonrach · 20/09/2015 20:53

Only over the car...id have put the ice cream somewhere else. By the way yanbu she is bein reasonable. How dare she do that. I bet she was jealous of you all enjoying your fish and chips and ice cream. Sounds like she has major issues!

DirtyMugPolice · 20/09/2015 20:53

Was it Marjorie Dawes?

Yanbu!

InkleWinkle · 20/09/2015 20:53

What Minecraft said ^^

MelanieCheeks · 20/09/2015 20:54

Hmmm, she wasn't very nice. But I dont think your reaction was excusable, sorry.

IceCreamBandit · 20/09/2015 20:54

I assure you it did MinecraftWonder.

I've lost nearly six stone this year so while I know I'm fat I'm trying to change it. (The fish and chips/ice cream were within my allowed calories.) A few months ago it would have made me cry my eyes out to be spoken to like that.

I'm in the North East.

YADNBU

What on earth makes know-it-alls like her the diet police?

HappyMeerkat · 20/09/2015 20:57

Minecraft,

I can't speak for the smearing of the ice cream but it definitely happens, just yesterday my brother went to subway and got sandwiches for my family and my sisters boyfriend (6 people) and got told he was fat, and incidentally at a different subway (maybe a lot of subway staff/ customers are rude) when my mum was in hospital i got sandwiched for me, her and my brother with double meat in them as she was quite ill and wasn't eating and for once was real hungry so I capitalised on the opportunity I had a customer and staff member say I was fat asking if it was just for me and saying they didn't believe me

Waltermittythesequel · 20/09/2015 20:58

So, she should randomly started abusing you? Who does that??

She was a total cunt but I wouldn't have done that to her car.

miaowroar · 20/09/2015 20:58

Whoah Icecreambandit - six stone this year wow! I have only just started a month ago and have only lost 8 pounds. Are you on SW or another scheme?

NorksAreMessy · 20/09/2015 20:59
Hmm
TheFormidableMrsC · 20/09/2015 21:03

PaulAnkaTheDog Nunsnet!! Genius! Grin

OP, she was extremely rude, but I have to say, I think I probably wouldn't have smeared ice cream all over her car. What a waste of ice cream!!

flanjabelle · 20/09/2015 21:04

6 stone this year? How?

LeaveMyWingsBehindMe · 20/09/2015 21:05

I am struggling with this…..
