View Full Version : A vent on all the assholes in the world...

I found out a few months ago that I'm lactose intolerant. I have cut dairy out of my diet except on a few rare occasions as a treat (as long as my husband is going to be home to take care of the kids in case I get super sick). Between the non dairy diet and busting my ass to get back into shape after having these darn kids...I must say that I've been looking pretty decent lately. I'm pretty proud of myself actually, since I have some reasons in my life why I'm a bit heavier than what I consider ideal and I'm not even going to bother getting into them right now because I'm not in the mood to have people thinking that I'm just giving excuses...
The other day, my husband and I went to coldstone creamery with the kids. I heard that the ice cream there was amazing and couldn't pass it up. I was too damn curious. I ordered a small, only having a bit more than what my own kids were having. We were next in line to pay. My husband and I were teasing each other about stealing each others ice cream when the other wasn't looking when I heard the guy behind me mutter to his girlfriend/wife/watever that someone who looked like me shouldn't be worried about what kind of ice cream I had, but about not having any at all. I turned to look at them as he snickered to the woman, who was barely paying attention. I informed him that I would be more than happy to not have it at all as long as I could ram it down his throat. My husband dragged me outside before we had a chance to say much more to each other...but by that point the entire shop had heard everything that we had said to each other. I don't know if anyone here has ever been, but that place is always packed, no matter what town you are in!
So...what the fuck is the deal? Is it that skinny people are the only one's with souls and feelings? Is it because us bigger people have thicker shells (pun intended) so now it's assumed that we can not be penetrated by hurtful, hateful remarks that are SO unneccesary to begin with? What is up with all you mean mother fuckers in the world? If you want to hate, at least do it in privacy...god damn it!
By the way, my ice cream was magnificant, even if it did make me sick!

Rissa,
I for one am very sorry for the way you were treated. There is simply no excuse for behavior like that in a civil society. My only regret was that I wasn't there to see the verbal beat down he got. I'm sure it would have been a physical beat down too if your husband hadn't pulled you away. :) ( I'd have paid to see that. :) )
The sad truth of it is that decorum and civility in our society seem to have gone the way of the dodo. To illustrate this assertion, you need look no further than Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and virtually the rest of the "research arm of the republican party" also known as Fox News.
I wish we could get to a place where people treated others with the same respect that they expect for themselves.
Lastly, please know that beautiful and sexy are about more than physical appearance. Judging by the pictures in your profile, you're a lovely woman. Who cares what a stranger thinks? (Yes, I have the same self-consciousness over the opinion of others; even strangers. I try hard to not care but alas, I often fail.)

First, let me say that I am sorry some asshole took public issue with you (or issue with you at all, geez)! I loved your response to the jerk.
But Rissa, dear, I believe you missed a few assholes in your rant. As I see it, you only really rant about assholes who think your weight needs to be just like theirs (or worse, not like theirs, but a weight they approve of)...ok, and maybe assholes who think you should only eat foods they think you should eat.
But there are SO many other kinds of asshole in the world! There are assholes who think that you should only dress in a way they approve of, assholes who think that you should only spend money on things they approve of, assholes who think you should only listen to music they like, assholes who think you should only be sexually attracted to people they approve of you being sexually attracted to, assholes who think you should only hold the religious beliefs that they hold, assholes who think you should only vote for the politicians they voted for...even assholes who seem like perfectly ordinary people, until you slosh a bit of red wine (that they gave you in an overfull glass that they themselves poured) onto their carpet...and as they proceed to freak out rather inappropriately, you realize OMG what an *asshole*! (not to mention assholes who think you should react to their spilling wine on your carpet in ways they approve of)
I feel like I've only begun to scratch the surface here. If this was the hormone-free thread, I would think this warranted posting the question:
Other than the ones I list above, name and rant at all the different kinds of assholes in the world.
Nobody should try to do them all (god forbid!). But if we each do our part, we'll have a genuine vent on all the assholes in the world...time well spent! :tong:

Well, if anything, I hope this rant enlightens some people a bit. Number one, you are entitled to your opinion but it is still a good idea to be a decent human being. And two, you have no right to sit there and judge someone that you know nothing about. Ice cream obviously is not the reason why I'm heavy, but apparently this jerk thinks that all I do all day is sit on my ass with a gallon of it lmfao.

I found out a few months ago that I'm lactose intolerant.
We discoverd a month ago my 8 year old son is lactose intolerant. So I'll stop right here and tell you what we learned.
Whole Foods has a soy-cheese department. There are several choices of Soy-Mozeralla, get the STIFFER blocks of the selection and be amazed that it taste like the real thing. The one we get is "Soya Kaas" in a Green and white plastic package. My son can enjoy Pizza thanks to this. My daughter had a slice and wasn't aware it was soy cheese, it was that good of an imitation.
The soy Chedder is OK, melt and acts like real cheese. It is passable.
Normal grocery stores, the better ones, have a soy icecream section. My son loves the ice cream sandwhiches.
Lactose free milk taste like the real thing to both of us.
Dark Chocolate has less Milk than the milk chocolate, he can have little bits at a time. Too bad he hates bitter chocolate.
That's all I have for now, we're still getting to grips with it.

My take on situations like that is that it's less about you and more about his own lack of self-esteem or conversational skills. Perhaps he thought he was being funny and was trying to impress the woman he was with. Perhaps he thought it made himself look physically better in comparison by saying it. Either way, his intention probably wasn't for you to hear it, which means the remark was self-serving in some manner or another.
I've known a couple girls who will sit on mall benches together just to see what sorts of faults they can find in the people who walk by. Those people were oblivious to the remarks of course, so they feel no wrong in doing it, but obviously the point of such a thing was for them to feel better about themselves somehow.
So yeah, it's easy to want to mash someone's nose for making remarks like that, but I try to keep in mind that if they're not saying it to my face, then chances are it's less about me and more about them.
But most importantly, never waste good ice cream on someone like that!

Thanks for the tips. My mother is EXTREMELY lactose intolerant and she was only able to find one kind of brand that made lactose free cheese. Other than that, I kind of got turned off from dairy after it made me feel like crap, so I didn't give it a second thought. But now that I know that there is a variety of dairy tasting things that I can choose from, maybe I can enjoy the taste of cheeses again haha.
By the way, since finding out that I can't handle milk, I have discovered and fallen head over heals in love with Silk. Especially with toast crunch cereal. It reminds me of pumpkin pie when I eat it haha.

Thank you all for not thinking I was a bitch to him haha. I didn't realize how mean that sounded til I typed it out. It just really pissed me off to be sitting here thinking that I've been doing really well with my dieting and work outs just to hear someone basically call me fat. And it wasn't even one of those things that it was someones private opinion. It was said loudly, meant to be something malicious, which is just wrong and mean. But more than anything, the ignorance got to me. Not all heavy people are that way because of food damn it. I HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. But, whatever...I guess I have to become anorexic again in order for people to believe that I don't sit around eating junk all day.

Rissa,
Like you, as much as I would have liked to have shoved the cone down his throat or up his ass.....I find it far more satisfying to verbally berate and cut a person with this mentality down to size...more often than not, they have no clue as to what I am saying as it is so above their mentality. I say my piece, turn and walk away with the most utter feeling of satisfaction. I do agree with another poster...that people who often say such comments have a rather low opinion of themselves and they are lacking.

there is something called freedom of speech, it is widely quoted as the right to express a opinion....
unfortunately, rissa, there are fucktards that think it is a right to express any opinion and your reaction to him was mild compared to the reaction I would have expressed....and I would have quoted freedom of speech when I would have turned on him and made some remark like.....
I love my icecream like my husbands sperm, nice and creamy, and unfortunately icecream, like my husbands sperm, tends to affect my weight, especially in the case of my gorgeous children.....
now you, dear sir, appear to like your ice cream to taste like shit, look like shit and dribble down your chin, as you seem to like having a shitty personality, a shitty attitude and no end of BS dribbling down your chin
adjusts my halo and smiles sweetly....

Believe me.... skinny males take their share of abuse too.
For most of my life I was terribly under-weight. I can not even begin to tell you how much I was made fun of and picked on and bullied. And being both puny and bisexual made it even worse.
However, I suppose it ultimately helped me to be more compassionate towards those whose only crime is not fitting the idealized social "norm".

I personally don't care if people have something against fat people, skinny people, short people or tall people. It still isn't right to make someone feel low about themselves over something physical. Especially when they know nothing of the person. Some people have problems with gaining weight, some have problems with losing. Sometimes it's more than the obvious, sometimes it's a medical thing, or a genetic thing. In either case, no one should get made fun of for physical appearances. That is just grasping for straws to put someone...anyone...down.
I'm sorry that you had to go through your own problems growing up. I'm glad that you learned how to view others in the way that you would have liked to be viewed also. At least something good came from it.

Some people have trouble gaining weight.

Some people genetics make them short.
Some people's genetics make them tall.
Some people's genetics make them beautiful.
Some people's genetics make them less so.
But many people have the capacity to be assholes.

I guess maybe I am more sinister and you are much more gentle than I...
I would have turned to look at the man, Then said "Oh I remember you, I waited on your table at ( insert nice restaurant) When you were there with your wife, The (insert other color hair than what the woman has who's currently with him) lady. Your wife was beautiful. I remember you cause you left me a great tip". Then I would have started talking to my hubby about what a great tipper the guy was and how nice his wife was.
Then I would have followed them to their next destination and if it was a public place I would go there and make them feel uncomfortable.
but that's just me.
What pisses me off is people who think that the "rules of the road" don't apply to other wheeled objects.. Say for instance... Shopping carts!

Just FYI. Apparently a lot of soy cheese has a milk protein called "casein" in it that makes it melt. It's not lactose, though, so yeah.

People who think you should only have one kind of brain and body which operates one kind of way, and that everybody who has an atypical brain and/or body needs to be segregated, made fun of, etc. is kind of an asshole. Especially if it's been already pointed out that they are being an asshole when expressing that opinion. :2cents:

I think the opposite is true. People say things like that, not because their self-esteem is low, but because it's so high as to be almost manic. Of COURSE, they can say shit like in Rissa's situation! They are the grand rasputin poo-bah of society and everybody else is such an underling as to not deserve any respect! :2cents:

Wow! Ignorant people never fail to shock me.
You should have said to him, "Honey, beauty fades, but stupid is forever." So sorry you had to experience that Rissa. I too have been on the receiving end of fat comments, and I know how they hurt. Especially the ever famous, "you have such a handsome face, but..." comments. But because of health problems, I have lost weight. I joined a gym, work out regularly and slowly lost almost 50 lbs.
Now I get the lusty looks from both females and males, and I could care less. I stick by my wife who stuck by me and my weight issues and never failed to tell me how attractive I was. Now of course, if Gerard Butler or Hugh Jackman came knocking on my door, I wouldn't say no! Hey I am a bi guy after all!!!

Might I just add that the funny part about all of this is that I am really not THAT FAT. Most women in this country wear a size 13 or 14 pants. I can squeeze into that size, and if I want to be totally comfortable, I'll opt for 16. That's really only a little over average. And up until I started having kids, I was a dancer so I carry myself and my weight very smoothly...so with this said, I can't imagine what he would have said to someone who really truly was in your face overweight. Kind of makes me feel sick to think about that...

13 or 14? Maybe a 16? Man I don't consider that fat at all (unless you're about 4' 6" tall). I like my women with a little meat on their bones. I guy can hurt himself on those pointy hips!!!
At my heaviest I was almost 240 with a 42 " waist, but I'm not a tall guy (5' 10" so it really showed on me.) Down to 187 now and a 36" waist. I just still see that fat guy everytime I look in the mirror.

Rissa, while you were gone, I posted this about the same situation. ...here's how a friend reacted:
I lived in Kentucky for about 30 years. I can say from experience, Kentucky gals don't take no shit off of no-body!
I've gotta tell you a story: (You might like this one, too, Cat)
My second wife had a friend named Anna. She was a "fire-lady". In addition to being 6'3", redheaded, and cute as hell, she weighed about 275, had huge breasts and a butt about 3 feet wide. The guys at the fire station told me she was the strongest "guy" there! (She carried a big, wheel-chair bound fellow out of a burning building, one time, by herself!)
Anna had a sweet manner and I really liked her. (I would have liked to know her even better!)
One Thanksgiving eve, my ex sent Anna and me to Kroger's to get something she needed to cook with. While we were there, Anna saw some cookies that looked good to her and pulled a box down.
She stood there, reading the ingredients, when a skinny little old lady shuffled behind Anna and said, under her breath, "Looks like you've already had too many of them cookies!"
All of a sudden, Anna spun around and her whole persona changed!
She screamed at that ol' lady at the top of her voice, "You better get your skinny ass out of my sight, you dried up old bitch, or I'm going to cram this box of cookies up your ass!"
I nearly jumped out of my shoes, too! I'd never heard her lose her temper before and I could tell she'd be a force to be reckoned with!
That old lady hauled ass! I never did see her again, as long as we were in the store!
When we got outside, Anna began laughing, "I scared the shit outta that old bat, didn't I?"
I said, "Yeah ......and you scared the hell out of me, too!"

couple points here...
Rissa, the man who made that comment was obviously influenced by what the media puts out there every day: that any woman over 100 pounds irrespective of her height, is unworthy. Little girls get that message, and so do most of the men I know which explains why I'm not dating at the moment.... barely 5' tall and 20 pounds overweight which looks like 50 at my height.
JOE... you and I have had the talk, but Rissa really should consult her local Walgreens pharmacist and ask for a generic LactoBacillus Acidophilus, preferably containing the enzyme Bifidus. It is dirt cheap (I know because I buy mine in the states all the time: $8 for 180 tabs vs. $20 for the same number here). It is a natural enzyme for your gizzards. I needed it post-surgically and have been using it for 10 years; if I didn't I wouldn't be able to digest ANYthing.
there is also an enzyme for lactose intolerance called lactase available in tab form, again dirt cheap if you get the generic type. You don't need all the cereal fillers and preservatives and crap in formulations with goofy names from manufacturers. Just get the generic. Take one the moment anything dairy touches your lips (with the first mouthful) ... it really works.

Lactose intolerance is also closely related to celiac disease... these are all in the same family of digestive disorders.

Thanks a lot. I was thinking about asking a pharmacist somewhere if there was anything over the counter for this, but mainly just because my husband thinks I should. I'm perfectly happy with just staying away from dairy, or feeling crappy for a day if I have some. Truthfully, staying away from all the cheeses and ice creams and stuff like that is making me feel better and only helping me with my weight loss, so it doesn't bother me too much. However, like my husband said, it might be a good idea to keep something handy on the off chance that we do decide to go out for a treat.

And up until I started having kids, I was a dancer so I carry myself and my weight very smoothly...so with this said, I can't imagine what he would have said to someone who really truly was in your face overweight. Kind of makes me feel sick to think about that...
I'm now guessing that there's probably a lot more to the story than you're telling us. He probably overheard you bashing a complete stranger for one reason or another.

Number 1, you are working WAY to hard to try to get to me..pulling up old threads and stuff.
Number 2, I was sitting there talking to my kids about their ice cream the whole time...some bashing right.
Number 3, anyone who knows me here knows that I'm not THAT much of a bitch to just sit there and talk about a stranger like that while I'm just out doing my own thing.
Number 4, at what point in my quote do you see any little hint that made you even think that anyway?

Funny, all this time that you have to be on this website trying to get under everyone's skin I would imagine you'd want to be with your invalid wife...ya know...with all the time you claim to spend with her and your family.

Actually, she's read it all and is rather amused. She loved the little ice cream story too. She's the one who says there must have been more going on that just what you tell. That's why I brought it up. That's my intelligent and strong woman!!! Take your best shot at her too.

Funny, you both say there is more to it from that quote, yet neither of you have answered my question of what made you think that way.
I think you are a liar (oh my god, name calling, go cry about it) actually. I think that she is sick of you too and now you are pushing your annoyingness off onto others.
