Just been body shamed by a random

Was out watching the football with my aunt's husband who is argentinian, so big day for him as a football fan. Jumped up when Argentina scored and put my arms in the air. I don't shave my armpits because I can't be arsed, no judgement towards those who do. I usually do when in a relationship but in single and embracing my body hair. Random guy told me 'mate you ever heard of a razor that's fucking rank' at which point I just rolled my eyes and didn't engage. He then continued to the bar, spoke to his mates and pointed at me whilst they all giggled. Made me feel so uncomfortable. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but feeling really angry with myself for not saying anything to him. Just here to vent I guess and not sure what I'm expecting, but I just find it infuriating being shamed for hair that grows out of my body without me asking it to! Anyone else experienced similar or was I just unlucky?

Someone (man) and I mean someone I dont know particularly and last.seen about 20 years ago. Ran into him in a shop early one morning. Couldn't remember his name. First thing he said was 'you've put on a lot of weight'. I laughed, mainly because his stomach was sitting about 20 inches beyond his trouser belt. Then started to give me diet tips. Won't deny I was overweight but I was slim compared to him.

This really pisses me off. I don't shave my armpits because - well, why should I? But it's so much the norm to shave them that going au naturale is seen as somehow disgusting or uncouth or ugly. That guy was an arsehole.
