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!

are you able to repeat any of your witty replies on here?

Better not - most of them include references to the size of his manhood!

...OMG....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How rude...and well...what a(beep beep) .......!!!!

That is terrible, maybe they shouldn't let people on trains that are that ignorant. ((((((((hug))))))) Jackiexx

a good one would have been, i can lose weight you will always be bl**dy ugly some people are so rude, it makes me fume arghhh take care xxLynnxx

Ignorant git !!!!!!!!!!!!! Always say that I'm built for comfort not speed lol LIn x

OMG that's outrageous!! Pig of a man!! ;o(

Won't put on here what I think of him but sending you a (((hug))). I always think of the perfect putdown at a much later date too if it's any consolation but don't let it spoil your day he's not worth it xx

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

Thats Disgusting!! Some people are just so uncaring,how DARE HE!! I surpose he was perfection on two legs was he!!! I hope your not upset about this,this man isent worth the effort. Roxanne 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'.

you shuld have said' Tomorrow I could be slim but you will still be UGLY'

I would have said something like Im happy with the way i look are you not happy with the way you do. Some-one said to me i looked old with my hair like that ( its grey my choice not to dye it) So i said what and your face don't

I'm going to have to change the title of my thread and add '..but there are lots of people who are wonderful!' Thank you so much for all your replies.

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

Mrs B Just you be thankful he is not related to you, or even worse, married to you. If he belonged to me I would swing for him. lol lol Kathlyn

sending you a big hug. ((((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))))))))))) dawnxx
