..Went for a road spin yesterday. Approaching a traffic-calming island where the road narrows to a single vehicle width i had the misfortune to be forced off the road by an idiot in a range rover. He got a mouthful & the obligatory hand gestures.
Of course he then slams on the brakes so i went around to remonstrate with him, already shouting "have you got **** eyes?" as i approached.

The bloke in the drivers seat was not just big, not just fat but obscenely obese. Obese to the point of spilling over onto the passenger seat.

I started laughing, said "No wonder you need all that room you fat c!"

He told me to "shut the **** up", i replied "what're you gonna do - eat me?" & carried on laughing at him.

He drove off in a huff.

I'm a bad person for mocking someone's disability now.

That is funny. Fat people are jolly, so an obese person would definitely see the funny side.

Thing is, i was raging with anger when i approached the car & was fully expecting a big argument & possibly even a fight. When i saw him i just cracked up for some strange reason, all the anger disappeared & i felt a bit giddy!

Must have been the adrenaline wind-down after the shock of having a bloomin' great vehicle actually physically push me off the road.

I laughed 😆

You never know your outburst may have done the bloke a favour he might go home and consider a diet (but I doubt it)

I'm usually throwing my bike through their windscreen or smashing their face into the side of the door to think up such quality witicisms!

Obese people do get it from me though. Because I know there's no chance of them catching me. 😀

This works equally well in reverse..

I was best mates with an overweight kid at secondary school...

we were wading into a scrap one evening with some lads from the school down the road... and my mate comes charging past me in full braveheart mode pointing out this one cocky looking fella and screaming full bloodedly.. 'I'm gonna f***ing EEEAAAT YOOOOUUUU...!!!!!!'

The cocky fella turned white.. turned tail.. and headed for the hills...

I cracked up there and then and took a good wack in the eye as a result.. I still couldn't stop laughing..
good times

I think it's particuarly funny because he was driving a Range Rover. Please tell me it was a shiny, expensive new one, that would be the cream on top!

First time I've felt sorry for a prick in a range rover, but despite the fact it is very funny, and despite the fact I would have probably done something similar (if not as witty) myself, I can't help it. He was probably really upset and had to go home and comfort himself with some pies.

I had a good one once in a park in Bristol.

Just finished a trail and exited onto a path. I was with a few other riders but they were behind a bit and out of sight.

There was a bunch male youths and youthettes. One of them decided to say after I rode by "do you want a bum ?".

I stopped and went back and asked him what he said again.... silence. Then eventually he said it again.

I then answered..."No thank you. but however, you do look like a homosexual"

Upon that all his mates around started laughing at him... he sloped off to find a bum elsewhere I'm sure 🙁

Maybe he was just being nice and asking you if you wanted a bun. And had a slight speech impediment.

And you humiliated him in front of all his friends. 😳

Superb. I always think of stuff like that like an hour later when I've calmed down.

My finest quip was in Les Gets a couple of years ago when we were outside a bar in town having a few beers when a group of lads approached the front door and pausing as they walked past us, their head honcho, with a face like a bulldog gnawing on a nettle, turned to us and ased "is this the gay bar ?"

I replied "it f*****g is now"

Thankfully they all fell about laughing and we ended up drinking & having a laugh with em.

Not meaning to put a damper on all this fun and pi$$ and i did at first s**** slightly at you actions.

I wonder if he's happy with his obesity or whether his size and the reason he has gotton that big has made him depressed, possibly really depressed.

What if he'd just been insulted like that before he got to you and was so upset he was distracted, what if he was even more upset by your comments and drove off up the road even more distracted by the cruelness of your words and hit another cyclist, pedestrian, child, etc.

Perhaps even he's on the edge of despair because of his uncontrollable weight gain and you've driven him to do something to stop his mental suffering.

Were you both technically forced off the road, who's right of way was it?

It matters not really, if he was at fault fair enough, he was being a careless twonk, rage aside, a simple, " did you not see me, could you please be a little more careful in future, you almost made me crash.

Well lets hope he is just a fat man without a health condition that makes him who he is. And not a potential risk to himself and others brought on by the arrogance of others.

Sorry to come across this way, but having been suicidal, depressed and feeling crap about myself, it was made worse by peoples stupid ill timed comments.

There's enough cruelty in the world and sadly alot of it stems from the lack of that simple thing.
Respect.

So sad.

Sharki.

Funniest thread for quite a while, trouble is, there are several women at work who are huge, and I'm afraid I'm going to have the 'what are you going to do, eat me?' quote pop into my head and start giggling inappropriately. I'd have never thought of that at the time. Genius.

All very worthy and that Sharki, and you make a very fair and valid point. But if someone's just almost killed me, then I'm afraid they will feel my full wrath. If they happen to be fat, then I dare say that will be used as a weapon against them. Although I suppose I might moderate my abuse if it seems clear that they may indeed have a health problem they have little or no control over. If they're just a lazy lard arse, then they will get both barrels I'm afraid.

You should hear what I say to Black and Brown people. 😯

No Sharki's right actually. We shouldn't allow our prejudices to be used as a weapon of hate. Abuse the person, but leave their colour/race/religion/sex/gender/sexuality/shape/size out of it.

It's very difficult to do that in the heat of the moment though? You're desperately looking for a weapon, and their size/colour/sex etc is perhaps the first thing that springs to mind. It's wrong though.

Nup. If the above situation is recounted truthfully, they deserve it from both barrels. I can see why elfin has recanted his previous statement, but given the earlier response, credibility is lost.

Large Iranian in a Vogue runs you off the road, you say; "What you gonna do, bomb me?"

If the line is in your head, you'll say it.

How do you know they're Iranian? Most Middle Easterners look the same to me...

I wouldn't 'think' that, as I don't see such people as those who would bomb me. I don't have such prejudices against them. I don't actually, contrary to my tongue in cheek statement above, ever use racist abuse, even when I'm on the receiving end of it myself. Just not the way I think.

I would use someone's weight as a weapon though. I'll admit that. It is still allowing my prejudice to colour my actions though, and is by that fact, wrong.

If the line is in your head, maybe you need to question how it got there.

As humerous as it may have been, I am disappointed that we supposedly intelligent people resort to the first foible a person might have (regardless whether it's self inflicted or not) pretty sure most people on here would be most displeased if someone started verbally attacking a member of their family should they be different in some way or another.

As a "tubby" who also realises that mistakes can happen when driving, if you'd have acted like that to me I'd have made you eat your bike for being such an ignorant intolerant ****

Edit: regardless of my personal size clouding my opinion, but why is fatty bashing ok on here but comments regarding just about anyone elses situation whether it be race/disability/sexual preference is a no no and gets shut down by the mods? A reek of hypocrisy is filling the air

In an ideal world, using a persons disability as a weapon against them smacks of a throwback to the school ground i quite agree.

However, when the person in question has just driven through a one-vehicle-wide traffic calming measure that I WAS ALREADY OCCUPYING then his right to courteous treatment go out of the window as far as i'm concerned.
This was no misjudgement behind the wheel, this was a straight road in full daylight & i was already entering the chicane, moving over to the centre of the lane when he drove straight at the chicane regardless.
His vehicle physically touched me & forced me into the kerb where my wheels ran down the kerb as i brought the bike to a halt. He knew what he had done as he stopped when i shouted/gesticulated.

To be honest, now i've had time to think about it i reckon he got off lightly. He came close - way too close - to actually driving his vehicle over me.
You may think that is merely a 'mistake' - i don't.

I agree, just because someone has an overactive [s]thyroid[/s] knife and fork or suffers from [s]water[/s] cake retention we shouldn't take the p**s.

Look, all foreigners talk funny, all Middle Easterners are terrorists, all women can't drive and all people who drive Range Rovers are complete arseholes. One of these generalisations is true. Plus that fat cu*t really did sound like a fat cu*t.
