A man on the train last night told me I shouldn't be allowed to use public transport because I am so fat! (his exact words included lots of swearing). I just ignored him, but now I keep thinking of wonderfully witty and cutting things I could have said to him!

That is so rude - words fail me - well no not quite true - think I would have been so tempted to slap him hard - pity there wasn't a guard around you could have had him put off the train. HUGS to you from another large lady - at least our men have something to hold on to and keep them warm on cold nights. lol Love Mary in Spain xx

The way people behave towards each other, even in minor things, is a measure of their value as human beings. Just think of the rotten day he had to make him say that!

Skinny people get flak too!! I was bullied terribly at school - and people still think it's OK to make remarks about my being thin. Dee x

You were right not to comment at the time, even though you can think of many suitable retorts now. Narrow minded people like that do not deserve the breath you would have wasted replying. The most suitabe reply in a case like that is a pitying look. Pity for the fact they were not brought up to respect others, and keep nasty opinions to themselves. As my Nan always said 'if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing'.

As frustating as it is to want to reply, you are way out of this ignorant mans league. You would have only made him worse, then you would have wished that you had not come down to his level. Be at peace knowing that you are a much better person than he Love Janetx
