I was at a wedding in Saturday and there was an ex-couple there.
The ex-H d was emotionally, verbally and financially abusive to his ex-w (witnessed).
She finally left him, gained a stone, had hair and make up done, looked fab and has a hot new man.
Ex-h eyes nearly fell out of his head. He tried to chat to her and she laughed, asked if she knew him and strolled of.
The look on his face was priceless and he just slunk away.
Have you ever seen anyone get what they deserve?

Okay, I know beards are not to everyone's taste, but are they really on a par with racism? Hmm

AdaLovelacesCat · 21/09/2016 15:51
Grin he was a Hell's Angel I think....isn't the beard part of the uniform...so yes, on a par. I am kind of regretting posting that now, I am sure he did not deserve that, but he WAS in a biker gang and he WAS utterly vile to women and black people. And he had a GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD
AdaLovelacesCat · 21/09/2016 15:55

oh no he was not a Hell's Angel , he was an 'Outcast' and there was violent rivalry. He was killed by a Hell's Angel.

Grin so pleased that someone recognised the quote - I am sitting here muttering it to myself in a Somerset accent.....

AdaLovelacesCat · 21/09/2016 15:58

Somerset/Gloucestershire - all the same.....
And it is not a crap movie - it is superb!

My favourite line is 'FASCIST' - 'HAG'

Re: Fat shaming.

I told my comeuppance story up thread but I think this needs to be straightened out:

Being a fat adult is hard, being a fat kid is unlivable. Trust me, I've done both.

When you're an adult the most you get is snide, sideways comments in the street or a wrinkled nose from someone walking past.. as a kid it's SO much more brutal and you're much less able to deal with that kind of input from strangers, let alone your friends.

I was bullied from the age of 7 to the age of 18. It wasn't a "now and again" type of bullying, I was known as "pig" and "pork" from primary school all the way until I left college. There was a group of year 11 girls when I was in year 7 who had a daily game of "push the pig" where they'd be passing me in the corridor and shove me as hard as they could. Extra points if I cracked my head on the wall or fell over and showed my enormous arse to everyone. Another group of girls used to put their phones under the bathroom door while I was on the toilet and take photos of me. These would then be shown to anyone and everyone. This happened about twice a month for 4 years.

Thankfully and by a combination of chance, will power and sheer bloody defiance I managed not to end up a complete shell of myself, but I still get anxiety in dense crowds due to push the pig, can't use public toilets and feel violently sick at the prospect of seeing any of my bullies ever again. I stalk all of them relentlessly on facebook to try and avoid being anywhere they might be because most of them are still local.

I'm a 25 year old woman now. The scars of bullying run very, very deep.

So, do I take some delight in the thought that a couple of those girls have now become the size I was when they made my life hell? Fuck yes and I'm not sorry. They had no reason other than my weight to bully me, so that's what the picked on and clearly found my weight so utterly disgusting that they had to make an example of me. I hope they find themselves disgusting now. I hope to God they despise themselves as much as they made me despise myself and I truly, truly hope with all my heart that they are as ugly on the outside now as they were on the inside back then.

I'm not sorry.

The woman in front of me in Starbucks yesterday bought the last brownie. I wanted a brownie! Luckily as she started chomping on it on the way out a piece got stuck in her windpipe and she choked to death before my eyes.

greedygorb · 21/09/2016 16:05

Oh the man who loved me, left me, strung me along, messed with my head for years and treated me like shit. Eventually he met someone who he wanted to settle down with and she loved him, left him, strung him along, messed with his head and treated him like shit. How I laughed. (Not to his face like)

Sadly not, Eggy, but I will look out for it!

Tater I can beat that - some woman bought the last bag of walnuts in the supermarket, stepping right in front of me to grab them!
Later I saw her sitting outside eating one of them, but luckily she went into anaphylaxic shock and she died right in front of me!
How I laughed!

It's fine, us fatties don't want your sympathy, thanks. Hmm

I've lost about 50% of the excess weight now, I have another 2 stone to go. If it was as easy as a simple diet change, no one would be fat. Obesity is a symptom of so many other problems, usually mental health issues. Do you not have sympathy for the depressed, anxious and addicted either?

Just because we wear the scars of our illnesses on the outside of our bodies doesn't give you or anyone else the right to judge how we got there in the first place. It's none of your business, but as an FYI I was obese because I was horrendously depressed and in denial. I got treatment for that, I lost weight as a result.

Take off your judgey pants and get a grip.
