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?

The only unreasonable thing you did was waste ice cream.

When I was very pregnant with ds, I had stopped on a long journey due to hunger.

Only place open was McDonald's. so I had burger, chips, drink and ice cream ( no health warnings on soft ice cream back then).

I used the drive through as my psd was unbearable. Parked in the furthest corner of the fairly empty carpark. Ate my food in peace, until a great big 7 seater came and parked right next to my driver side door. I couldn't get out of my car to put my rubbish in the bin.

Thankfully, as it was a nice wam evening, the nice lady in the big car left her sunroof wide open so I didn't have to take the sticky ice cream cup home with me. Or the burger box and chip packet.

I just about managed to reach her sunroof through mine!

Some people should keep their mouths closed! The majority of fat people know they are fat!

As you say, there was no damage to the car, just some inconvenience to her. As long as I was the right car?

I weigh about 22 stone and yes, you do get this sort of shitty attitude from randoms. Unusually respond with "my weight is variable, your attitude isn't, fuck off" which although rude is quite enough to make most of them shut up and gawp while you walk away.

Don't feel shit. I'd have told her to fuck off too. Then she'd have probably been verbally assaulted by an army of kids who call me mum Grin

Bandit I'm northern too.

Well done on weight loss x

Well done on your weight loss. Entirely appropriate and - I imagine - very satisfying response. Had that happened to me, it would have severely impacted on my self-esteem and I'd have cried and binge ate Blush

I'm going to take heart in this, and remember it next time anyone is rude about my weight (currently 7 months pregnant and the size of a...well, a pregnant hippo Grin)
