This is why I hate people.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

A world of WTF, Sophia.
People are... just so fucking weird.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
That is messed up, Sophia. People are jerks. GF and I once were verbally assaulted by a guy in a truck when we dared to cross the street (legally) in front of his (stopped) vehicle. He ended up yelling at me that I needed a boob job and to GF that she was fat and we would never get a man. Joke's on you buddy. The part that GF loves to tell is that I kept saying to her, "Don't say anything. Just ignore him." He kept hurling insults until I totally lost it and started screaming at him, "SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" Hahahahahaha!

As a fat person I think it is simply that being chubby is seen in the U.S. as a moral failing, so strangers on the street feel free to say randomly nasty things to chubby people. I have a fair amount of muscle under my fat, and I am living proof that deterrence sometimes works. Because fear of law breaking is the main reason certain people in this town walk away unbruised.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I dearly hope that when they hit their mid-thirties they look back and cringe. And that then, as they're in mid-cringe, some twentysomethings driving past decide to roll down their windows and shout something fake-polite to them.
Little bitchcows.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, WTF. And not to be both sexist and agist, I can imagine that coming from 16 year old boys more than adult women.

No, I get comments from 20-somethings all the time.
I think part of it is a class issue. Oveweight is something those nasty poor or working people do. So someone fat, and in a suit -- well you are faking. Because now that I think of if, I get my worst comments wearing a suit. A fat guy or gal wearing a suit: we are fat trash faking being professionals. We need to be put in our place.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, Sophia. May an anvil fall on their heads.

More amusingly, I think the only thing anyone's ever shouted out of a car at me was one time in high school someone called me and my mom "Lesbos!!!" when we kissed goodbye on the street.
