Today, while going for my daily run, a woman stopped me and said, "I think it's so great that people of your size are comfortable enough to run and show their bodies in public." FML
I agree, your life sucks (22072) - you totally deserved it (2662)

Why? Because someone tried to be complimentary? It's not like she said "Run Fatty, run!" Don't be such a bitch about it. Not an FML.

#56, I think it's great that people with intelligence as low as yours can manage to turn on a computer and access the internet.
See, a compliment :)
#60 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:14pm by GreenHacker
I think that's nice of her... or, at least, she meant well. Good for you- keep going and feeling good, whatever size you are!
#81 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:07pm by justmeagirl
Wow the worst part is that she probably didnt even realize how much of a bitch she was.
#3 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:19am by LilKonvicted
No, the worst part is, before it gets any better we're heading for a cliff.
Actually.
#5 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:23am by lauralatch
(and in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom.)
Anyway, that was incredibly rude. It doesn't matter that she was trying to be nice, she obviously didn't think about the implications of her comment at all and is therefore a bitch.
lol gross lol
op: i hope u called her on it and told her that was v rude. ppl like that arent use to being called on things; thus, the vicious cycle continues. keep on running :)
At that size it is more like a moose knuckle...
OP run more!
But please do us a favor and do NOT show that "body" off in public

Well, just accept the fact that you're probably not the ideal weight.
#12 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:39am by bgpink
"Ideal" weight isn't determined by random people on the street. The comment was totally inappropriate - even if she is actually fat, it's extremely rude for a stranger to comment on it.
Kind of a back-handed compliment. Why do complete strangers feel it's necessary to say anything at all?
Keep working out...it's about becoming a healthy person, not about what other people think.
#15 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:51am by Punkartmama
wow what a bitch? like seriously did she even realize that that is so not an appropriet thing to say to anyone? gees i'd a slaped her stupider

Kind of like the old lady in one of larry the cable guy's exept about retards?
I call fake
That lady was extremely rude. Don't get discouraged by that bitch.

Usually, I give fat people hell on FMLS just because they are usually whining about their weight and they're not doing anything to fix it. But I feel bad for OP because she was doing something about it. Well, actually, we don't even know if she is fat. But that woman who stopped her is so uneducated to say that to OP. You don't say things like that to strangers. And you're not meant to talk to strangers anyway. The woman sounded really bitchy but I bet she didn't even know what she was doing and that makes her even more of a dumbass.
Agreed with everything except "you're not meant to talk to strangers". That rule is fine for primary school kids, but if adults held to it they'd never make new friends.
What a bizarre thing to say! People like you should be c*strated so that you can't procreate. This species needs saving.
#36 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:19am by WokeUpThisMornin
Yes, because by putting that asterisk where the 'a' goes, I had the worst trouble figuring out that you were saying "castrated". Thank you for so effectively censoring your profanity.
;-)
#49 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:48am by quoteXunquote
Oh, so you're saying she's just stupid then? In this case, her intent doesn't really matter because the comment was so inappropriate.
You should have said, "The wives of plumpa humpas don't need to score fresh meat for their husbands. I've already found yours."
As you run away, grab your mountainous, dimpled ass cheeks and yell, "He likes this better that your sorry, little, bony ass!"
Kudos to you for finally working out and improving your lifestyle, YDI for eating to excess your whole life.
You have no idea what the OP's lifestyle is like or if she wants to change it. Some people just like to run because they enjoy it. Don't make sweeping generalisations.
The only thing funnier than seeing a fat person run is seeing a fat person on a bike. I feel so sorry for the bike seat which is never visible as it is swallowed whole and goes places man dare not tread.
Mercy:
Pffft, Kirk FTW. Have you seen the video where he teaches how to kiss a woman? Epic.
#55 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:39pm by Intoxicunt
Blasphemer! Jean-Luc Picard built my StarGazer.. "There are four lights!" Oh the pffts, Number One.
Although that Kirk kissing saga was mega hawt. Mmm.. my pants are warping :D
That's awful... As long as you were dressed appropriately (i.e. a shirt, not just a sports bra, appropriate shorts) then I don't know why she thought that was in any way a nice thing to say, no matter what size you truly are.
Keep up the running - good for you!
#33 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:59am by reesesplease
Keep up the good work, OP!
Don't listen to the slanderous bitches with cloaked "compliments".
#35 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:12am by Mashookies
I congratulate you on your efforts to lose weight. Keep it up, and don't listen to that woman.
#39 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:33am by WishfullThinker
Don't you know a compliment when you hear one? Take what you can get. xD
Seriously though, keep up the good work. Oh, and be wary of "lose weight quick" schemes.
#40 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:44am by blastvortex
Why do you assume that she runs to lose weight? Some people actually enjoy exercising for other reasons.
Wow.. what a bitch! But please, don't stop believing in yourself.. :)
#43 - On 11/05/2009 at 10:51am by LollyPop1
wow. people REALLY don't think before they speak anymore, do they?
sorry about that O_o
#44 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:12am by theblueone4
I'd fn pop a bitch and leave her bleeding on the sidewalk.
#46 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:14am by DaBluedude
Guess that just means more running for you but still, next time, slap a bitch. Or eat her.
#48 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:31am by straight42
What?? How is there a not-backhanded way to say that?
#50 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:52am by quoteXunquote
Most people are perceptive enough to know that talking to complete strangers about their weight is not exactly inoffensive, whatever their appearance. The majority of people have confidence issues about their bodies, and don't need strangers pointing out what they think is "abnormal". My advice would be, if the person you're looking at isn't a friend, don't say ANYTHING about hir weight. By all means say that it's nice to see hir enjoying hir morning run, but do people really need to be taught not to make personal remarks out of nowhere?
Don't get discouraged by a few painful words from a fucking cunt. You're running, trying to maintain health. That's far more than a lot do.
backhanded compliments are so funny to me. why even say anything? i hope you called her out on it, its the only thing backhanded compliments are there for: to tell the other person how idiotic theyre being. im sure she didnt mean to be a bitch, but honestly, what stranger says that to someone?
#57 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:25pm by kisseshugsdrugs
That is so messed up, I would've bitch slapped her for being a bitch!
#59 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:49pm by caligirl805
unless you truly are big boned (and I know very few people who are) then you deserved it. eat better and keep running and you'll turn it around, be healthier, and happier.
#63 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:01pm by hXcsoccerplaya
Congratulations. Your logic make no sense. The OP is obviously trying to stay in shape (or get in shape) and she deserves to be insulted because some lady is too bitchy or too dumb to keep her mouth shut? WTF are you smoking?
I would of answered back "Your right, overweight people like you and me need to be proud of our body's"
#65 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:20pm by captaincanoe
#66 he said in his comment he was going for his "daily" run meaning hes actually trying to stay fit so i think that bitch should of been poped
How passively aggressive of her to disguise insults as compliments.
I think you should go teach her some true aggression.
#67 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:14pm by CyclonePsycho
wow really people like her need to fall in a HOLE! seriously and no even if you are big boned that is rude and plus who cares what you look like and thats there opinion i feel more people should be obese come on mayhbee this person has health issues and cant loose weight because i know some of my family is like that god grow up and keep rude comments to yourself pretty sad i know that and im 16 have some respect fyl
#68 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:26pm by Tamara2011
you wish more people could be obese? thats like hoping more people are drug addicts or alcoholics. wow is right.
#91 - On 11/07/2009 at 2:17pm by kisseshugsdrugs
Well she probably didn't know that it was mean when she said it I mean I might have thought the same thing but I wouldn't have said it because it's rude. And to all you calling OP fat can suck a chode because you don't know who they are maybe the lady who gave the "compliment" is fucking blind
#69 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:33pm by LikeOhMahGoose
Being thin does not equate to being healthy. OP runs everyday and is most likely healthier than skinny people who do not run.
How does being thin not equate healthy??? The only scenario I can think of is Bulimia or Anorexia
#92 - On 11/07/2009 at 3:09pm by scateice
#92, some skinny people are just naturally slim, they may have horrible eating patterns, sleep patterns, habits/addictions, just because you are skinny does not mean you are healthy.
#94 - On 11/08/2009 at 8:17pm by kisseshugsdrugs
LOL @ all the idiots who are like "Omg she wuz just bein nice!11" or "It was a compliment! you should be happy!"
... Seriously?
Sure, she may not have had cruel intentions, but it was still an inappropriate thing to say to a stranger. When will people learn that you really should NOT make remarks about peoples' age/weight/whatever when you don't even know them? Keep your mouths shut!
#84 - On 11/06/2009 at 2:42am by liquidskyfire
Excercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands...
Obviously the OP excercises to be happy....anyone think of that?
(:
this is rude, but I feel ya OP. I get a lot of backhanded compliments cuz I'm black. for example, it's so great you ppl are good at sports. do you know a lot of ppl who got out of the projects that way?
#87 - On 11/06/2009 at 3:03pm by mastapeace16
Just think to yourself, or say to anyone who makes comments like that, " Thanks, I figured its better than being a fat ass and doing nothing about it" It seems like she was trying to be nice. I think its great to see everyone out running (even knowing Ive stopped.) Dont let this keep you down.
Maybe she was talking about how skinny you are. Maybe people can't see you when you turn sideways like Kate Moss, so she was afraid you would get hit by a car or something. Maybe the glass is half full.
I've seen you whales waddling around and dont know how I managed to hold myself from vomiting
Be happy she was nice to you, stick to the step and dont leave the house till youve done a couple of pushups dumbo
p.s. I'm not trying to mean, i wanna be realistic. You're fat, so dont pretend you arent or want sympathy
hmm yes im pretty sure you are trying to be mean, not realistic. why dont you quit being a jerk to people you dont even know and take a class on ettiquite. People like you make me seriously question humanity.

Don't mind that bitch, not like she knows better, she's probably a whore. and remember this, you are perfect as long as you like yourself, it doesn't matter what others say.
