    Oh I got that a few months ago when I was walking home from ASDA. I had my little shopping trolley with me and some idiots in a crappy feista shouted S***!!!! as they went past.
    I replied by waving only using two fingers and using 2 words in which the 2nd one is "off"
    Must have confused me with his girlfriend, the wally.
    Look at it like this, you are getting rid of your so called big bum (if you have one, it might not be, but many of us ladies think that we are ample around the posterior ;)) the fella who shouted at you will always be an big mouthed idiot. ;)

    A while ago a large group of boys and girls were walking towards me. I crossed to the otherside but they still yelled 'You should go to WeightWatchers'. It was actually where I was going but have never walked there again since. I always drive despite it being just down the road. I've had other people yell from cars too, once I got called 'Morticia' presumably due to my gigantic black coat and the black skirt I was wearing at the time.

    When I was a teenager some passing boys actually assaulted me and one put his had right up my skirt to my private bits. I didn't even report it because I lived with my Dad and was embarrassed.

    I had a similar thing happen to me when I was walking up a steep hill to meet DH from work, a convertible drove past and one of the people in it threw a bottle of water straight at me and it hit me in the head. I was in complete shock and just burst into tears in the middle of the street (and I do not cry in public!). I couldn't believe someone had just done that to me. Who are these mindless idiots? :(

  • When I was in my twenties someone lobbed some Ketchup out of a car window at me and it covered my coat.

    Incensed, I lobbed the nearest stone as far as I could as the car got further and further away (no other cars were present. Upon seeing and hear it hit the back of the car smashing the tail light, I ran like hell :o

    At a time when we couldn't afford curtains someone shot an air rifle through the window. That one was really horrific.
    I've not been shouted at when running - most people appreciate how hard it is, but to everyone again thank you for your stories, they are in the main horrid because it means someone wants to do harm or thinks this action is funny. I don't want to believe it but sadly it's true

    I must believe in Karma,

    I have evidence that good karma does work.

    As it is I always help people out when possible.

    Then in my younger days my shed of a car died in the middle of a junction, I managed to roll it back tot he junction entrance but of course was still a problem, after 2 minutes a guy pulled up and asked if I had a tow rope to which I didn't, he said no problem and buzzed off down the road, a minute later he comes back with a tow rope (took it out of the packet, he had clearly gone and bought it) and towed me out of the junction and into a near petrol station with enough room to drop me. He would even let me pay for the tow rope.

    From that point I have known I am not the only nice guy out there and good karma does actually work.

    Wow, there are some seriously stupid people out there. To OP, as alot of other posters have said - please don't take it personally, its just an idiot thinking they are being funny. In truth they probably have nothing better to do with their sad lives.

    A few years ago I saw a guy learning out the window of a van, squirting pedestrians with a water gun.

    Whilst walking to meet a friend once a car deliberately diverted off course to go straight through an enormous puddle. I was soaked - had dirty road water down my white top. I felt so stupid.
