Rude people.

Just ranting about rude people... Usually it's little kids and stuff "Why are you so fat?" and etc but sometimes people are just ignorant, or hypocrites, etc etc.

Like my dad, he's almost twice my weight [only 5 inches taller than me], by the way. Now I love him, but MAN. He yells at me EVERY TIME he sees me eat something. "Aren't you on a diet?" "It's just turkey." "You shouldn't be eating." "But I'm hungry." "So?"

Just makes me so mad >:[ Share your experiences with rude people ;]

my mom put me on slimfast when i was 14, with my sister, because my aunt scared her into it. Told her that it wasn't right that we were big. We weren't even that big. Jess has since lost the weight and she's at a good size, im still losing it cause i have a 3 month old and was trying to lose it before i was pregnant. It's just hard. This site will really help me out on counting my calories and intake though, and im grateful. Im also exercising now. My mom knows nothing about this cause she thinks im too hard on myself, but putting me on slim-fast when i was younger just ruined my self-esteem, so now i beat myself up instead of the other way around. My Aunt (great-aunt) told my mom told CPS could be called on her cause they'd considering her abusing us with food. Pfft. So i know where your coming from. My mom used to call me awful names, and she says looking back it was wrong, but at the time she was just trying to motivate us into losing weight. It just basically made me hate my body lol...

I haven't encountered a whole lot of rudeness because of my weight, but there is one lady at work who is downright catty about it.  I was eating a SouthBeach diet pizza the other day (only 350 cals), and she says, sneering, "are you sure you can eat that?"

I decided to be more diplomatic and just said "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be eating it" instead of "It's none of your business whether it is or not."

Not really rude......well not to me now.........but at the time.........whenever I was a kid and I'd lose a pound or two from whatever fad diet my mom/dr had me on.....I"d get all excited. Well if I ever said anything in front of my gpa about it, like I lost 2 lbs......he'd say turn around I'll find it for you.

I realize now he was only teasing me and omg he teases ALL the kids ALL the time, but when he was doing it I always thought my gpa was rude and mean.

I had a kid ask me one time why I was fat.........the kid was old enough to know you shouldn't talk like that.........I replied........why are you skinny? He was like I just am........I was like ok then......

I was at Walmart the other day and was walking across the lot to go in the store and these guys in this truck came through hollering something, I just ignored them.

I find it funny how immature guys will do things like that when I am alone but not when I am with my husband.

A friend of the family was always severly overweight in high school and she had the biggest crush on this one guy who always made fun of her behind her back.......she finally realized it one day, but about 3 years after high school she lost all her weight and looks GREAT.........she was in a bar one night in another town and he was there and was hitting on her.........he didn't know who she was.....was so funny.........she pulled her high school pic out of her wallet and showed him........he was so embarassed.

Sometimes I think people are trying to help out when they make comments about what you are eating and don't realize how it comes off.  Sometimes my bf will say should you be eating that and I tell him I know how many more calories I have to eat for the day and this is fine. 

Other times I think people just want to ease there own bad eating habits and hope to see you fail.  Who knows?! 

My dad is huge and has been since he had surgery to flip his stomach upside down (old method to fight acid reflux), and even though he's a fatty, too, he always, ALWAYS, mentions I'm too fat and shouldn't be eating.

When I was younger and still lived with him, whenever I would go downstairs he'd be sitting in the living room (conjoined with the kitchen and dining room), watching TV, and would tell me to get out of the kitchen before I gained a pound from smelling food.

He intimidated me so much I stopped eating, got really sick, and was forced to stay upstairs.  My mom wouldn't let me downstairs because she didn't want me to get her sick so her patients (chemotherapy patients) wouldn't get sick and they usually didn't remember to bring me food, so I was sick AND hungry.

Then when Alex came to live with us while we saved up for a deposit on an apartment, Alex and I started buying necessities for the apartment, one being a miniature fridge (the apartment we wanted didn't come with appliances) and my dad told me not to take food from downstairs and stick it in the fridge upstairs because I'll just get even fatter.  My sister, at this point, was living in my parents' house, too, and would beat the crap out of me if I even opened the fridge downstairs, and would watch us if we brought our own groceries in to keep upstairs.  She then had my dad convinced we were stealing food from downstairs to keep in the fridge upstairs, and we pretty much got thrown out.  In the middle of winter.  With nowhere to go.

So yeah, I've been harassed a lot because of my weight by my family.  I've lost sixty pounds thanks in large part to Alex for making me eat a lot (I was barely eating 500 calories before he came around) and my dad doesn't nag me for losing weight or tease my eating habits, but he's change a lot since I got engaged and actually seems to like me now. 

I think most of that has to do with me doing well with my life whereas my sister.. isn't.  Haha. 

The meanest thing someone has done to be regarding my weight was back in February 2007. I met this guy through a friend and we talked daily. We never met in person though. He started telling me how much he liked me and how he hoped that I would be his first girlfriend. It was really cute.

We then decided to meet at the movies with our friends. I told him how nervous I was because I knew he'd think I was fat. He promised that he would never turn me down even if I was as big as I made it seem. We met and everything was great.

We were by my car at the end of the night and he almost kissed me when his friends drove up and told him that they were ready to leave. He smiled, laughed, and apologized for his friends. He told me he would call me when he get home.

That was the last time I talked to him. He would never reply to my texts, calls, or anything. He then sent a long message to me over MySpace telling me that I was a fat cow and the only people who would date someone like me would be desperate.

That's the meanest/most rude comment someone has ever made about me. 

My bf can be rudesometimes. When we're in public and i try to give him a hug or something he seems to back away from me and make this weird face. Now i know its kuz he's embarissed by how much i weigh. He's just not as attracted to me as he used to be when he met me.  I just find it dumb when he complines because he tried to help me overcome my Ed and when i stoped i gained 20 pounds in 2 months (now im 3 pouns overweight).  And the other day he asked me, how bad is it for you when you throw up? i just want you to be skinny again!

My brother (who is usually very sweet to me) told me about a month after I had my baby (after I got done saying I was at my pre pregnancy weight but still wanted to lose 35 lbs) that I looked "shorter and fatter" than right after I had the baby. I was like, "uuummm like you should be talking" he just goes "I am going through puberty, I am supposed to get bigger" lol BTW my son is now going on 5 months old and I still have 32 lbs to lose

I don't mean to be presumptious here, but it sounds like that is a relationship that could use some re-evaluating.  That's not rude so much as hurtful and selfish.

^^ I was thinking the same thing, santonacci.

Some of these are really sad... It's usually the same people who make fun of large people that are the ones telling people they're stupid for having eating disorders, in my experience.

someone once asked me when i was going to have my baby. i was getting my nails done and he worked at the salon, and he sat down next to me all excited and was like "when are you going to have your baby?" and i burst into tears. he was embarrassed, but not as humiliated as i was.

then another time some guy asked me "why are you sticking your belly out like that" and i was like um...im not sticking it out like anything...

and this one isnt about being fat but still about rude people!  my boyfriend and i went out to eat one time, and the place was kinda empty, it was us, another couple somewhere around, and a mom, grandmom, and young daughter (4 yrs old, maybe?). well my boyfriend had longish hair, but it wasnt even that long! just below his ears, and he was wearing baggy jeans and a sweatshirt! but anyway, so we sat down and this little girl goes "mommy is that a boy or a girl?" and we both clearly heard her, and the mom looked right at us, and you'll never believe what she did. she didnt say "shh mind your own business" or even apologize to us(our tables were right next to each other). she said "i dont know honey" and started giggling, but like muffled giggles. I WAS SO ANGRY! should the little girl have known better? i dont know, im not a kidexpert. but shouldnt the mom have NOT answered that way, or apologized to us? when it was said, we both stared at them and then talked about how rude it was (quietly), but the woman kept looking at us, she knew we were upset. she looked embarrassed, but more amused. grrrr. jerks

The ruddest people i've ever encountered in my life were two store clerks. . i was doing some bday shopping and walked into a name brand clothing store to buy her a shirt i had seen in the window i walked in and was approached by two girls who proceeded to tell me they didn't carry anything in my size they pratically rushed me out of the store. i was so embarrased they said it loudly i left in tears.

I hate it when I am trying so hard to stay on track and people go " your so thin you need a cheeseburger or two" " you dont need to diet"

Its so obnoxious, like hey, i dont think im at my healthiest weight, leave me alone, i dont tell you what to do. 

The rude comments I got was AFTER I lost weight, not when I was overweight. I met this big group of people last summer in a picnic, we usually meet up for some celberation or other as we are from the same part of the world and speak the same language.

Well, this time, I met them after a span of 6 months, and had lost almost 25 pounds within that time period. And almost all the women present there started making comments... "omg, look how much you have lost, you look so thin now, you look great..." it just made me the center of attraction and seemed everybody didn't have anything to talk about except my weight. I was embarassed to hell. Then they kept on and on... what is your secret, are you working out and started making complaints too... "I don't get time to workout, I can't workout because of this, that"...

One lady even said that last time she had seen me, I was real fat. Oof... so I realized that maybe I used to look real bad when I was overweight... and just 20-25 pounds that is.

lovelin - I completely understand where you are coming from as I get embarrassed when my weight loss becomes the center of the conversation.  I would rather no one mention my weight loss at all, but I have come to understand that the majority are really happy for me - so I am happy to talk with them about it.

My boyfriend, who's 5'11", about 150 lbs. has no interest in food, and takes meds (for arthritis and ADD) that further suppress his appetite.  We were talking about my weight once and I said "yeah, but unlike you, I get hungry".  His reply was "you could ignore it"...Grrrrr....

I've had people call me fat in school a lot, they don't do it so much now because I don't tolerate it.

Rudest person ever is my biological father... told me that he was going to buy me clothes but will wait till i lose some weight. Then ordered me a salad with fat free dressing on the side.

I wasn't even overweight at all, my BMI was 19. Talk about rude!

I was making a rather unhealthy grocery run and the clerk says "Junk food day, huh?". Shut up, clerk guy! Who the hell asked you?
