That's it, I'm just gonna have to move!

...jerkass college mo-fo...

Allow me to explain. As I've mentioned before, I live in the heart of Sanford, Maine, which might as well be called 'SKANKford' or 'New Brooklyn'. You see, I decided to take a walk to the nearest general store to get more soda, so I corssed the road and into the mini-mall's parking lot. From about 50 feet away, I saw an oncoming car approaching me before I crossed over to the store, so I walked quicky across the car's path as to not make it slow down for me, because I HATE pedestrians who take their time to cross. Well, I made it with plenty of feet to spare, but as the car passed by, I heard a passenger from that car say, clear as a bell "Hey, you fat f**k!"

That CLEARLY couldn't have been meant for anyone but me! I'm not so much angry at the fact that he swore at me for 'inconveniencing' him, but that he called me fat! I mean, I know I'm a little overweight, but I wouldn't call myself really fat. Maybe it's because I had my bulky hooded sweatshirt on...but either way, I just don't think I can take living in this town much more. I'm just too freaking delicate for a town that's so damn insensitive.

I do know one thing for sure though...I promised myself that if the day ever came that someone unrelated to me called me 'fat' to provoke a reaction out of me, then it's time to finally do something about my health in general. Walk around the block, eat more fruit, less time siting around, etc. You can claim I have weird motivations, but to each their own.

Comments always welcome.

The world is full of jerks. You just happened to cross paths with one of the few that can speak and drive.

Indeed...mom calls these people 'cowards in a car'; they feel safe, knowing that if there's the slightest chance that who they're instigating can fight back, they can always burn rubber and suffer no consequences. Especially the kind of a-holes who travel in packs and have to do this kind of behavior to make themselves look cool in front of their idiot pals.

Damn it, why am I so fragile...

I'm just shocked this happened. If that happened in Fife or Armagh there'd be a 70% chance at least the person being sworn at would chuck something at the car. I mean they aren't the friendlist of places but the only people who insult strangers for no reason are Chavs. Even then it's just because they are in a group.

I used to ponder buying an airhorn to carry with me when I was jogging or walking to use on the twits who honked their horns or made comments to me. That way I could honk right back.

There are differences in the general attitude in cities and towns, but I think they are not all that great and people are pretty similiar everywhere within the same country and even in other countries. People in big cities tend to have harder shells, but underneath are basically the same as everyone else.

So I would say its not cities/towns themselves that are insensitive but all cities/towns, even small ones, have insensitive people. Its really a toss up as to which is better. If you run into a rude person in the city, chances are you won't see them again. It might happen less frequently in a smaller town, but there you may see them again.

On the prank side I have had things thrown at me or friends with me from cars a few times. Once an egg hit my chest and amazingly did not break. Once a piece of chocolate cake that hit the spokes of my friends bicycle which splattered his front in a dense stripe. It was pretty funny when we stopped and he took off his glasses and only his eyes weren't covered in cake. Another time a car pulled up alongside a line waiting outside a theatre and hosed everyone down with a fire extinguisher.

My favorite was when two fools tried to empty their cars ash tray on the highway by dumping it out the window with me in my car right behind. I saw them shake it out the window and saw it all sweep in the jetstream back into their open rear window and then fill the car with a dense swirling grey cloud of ash and butts. I could just make out their arms waving around in the haze as I scooted by them real quick.

Exactly. Like I said, 'cowards in a car'; the more there are of them, the more they feel like they have to show off and level up their 'bro cocks' by picking on those weaker then they are to make themselves feel strong.

But the damage has been done; I can't eat ANYTHING without feeling like I'm putting on tons of weight, even if all I eat are bananas and salads. All the exercise in the world will never be enough to get those words out of my head.
Still, I gotta soldier on somehow.

People are a**holes. Best way to handle it is to return the favor.

But it sounds like it's uncovered some deeper issues.

Diet and exercise can do a lot of good. Starvation does no good.

In the end, you'll prob be the girl they want to hook up with but rejects them.

Um...I'm a guy. And 40 to boot. But thanks for the advice. I just can't help it. I'm sooo careful and aware now what I'm putting into my body.

I guess that makes me a sissy now, huh? Using a My Little Pony character's name as my handle? Great.

Well, the handle and the fact that you identify yourself as a female in your profile.

I've had people yell at me from cars but I never can understand what they are saying.

Okay, fixed.

Yeah, moving and starving. That'll show em!

I knew I remembered looking at your profile to see if you were a guy or a girl because I am aware of the guys into my little pony thing.

Guess what, it's easier for men to loose weight than women.

Well, I'm not as upset now, so I don't have to really move. I just need to know how to avoid Chavs.

And as for the starving thing, no. I am remembering to eat, I just feel f**king fatter every time I do eat something, so now I'm VERY mindful of what I put into my body.

...is it just me, or are you getting increasingly more hostile towards me, Frances? You used to be so much more supportive. I mean, sure you still gave me your dose of reality and tough love, but at least you didn't outright attack me. Have I really gotten *that* much more hopeless and deplorable?

Please respond.

don't sa damn it why am i so fragile... you're not fragile they're just super fragile for having some inner desire that made em look for someone (in fact i had the thought because you walked quickly past them politely they saw 'vulnerability' the animal saw that type of movement and closed in in his mind he may have even thought 'pathetic' - i barely know what that word means but if he had that sort of sh***y mind that would explain sh***y behaviour) else to have a go out. his saying 'hey' is practically like inside he's like 'hey look what i've found' - that said if you are pretty fat (but you've said you aren't) and depending on his tone of voice like if he deemphasised the most offensive bits the 'f**k' that came after calling you fat then it could be a bit of a joke for his mates. but if you're really of a regular build then he's probably a piece of s**t. which i read about all the time on the internet.
