m.y.o.f.b.
Some people are just assholes. Most unfortunately that is how the world is and we just have to live with it.
I was at the Caltex at Bandar Utama to get my car washed. That is my usual go-to place as they are inexpensive and pretty fast. The other one is at Tropicana City Mall – slightly more expensive but more thorough. However I couldn’t be arsed to drive out to a shopping mall in the middle of Sunday afternoon and while recovering from my tooth extraction.
The car wash attendant came to inform me that my car was ready. As I was entering my car, he suddenly asked if I was married. I was a bit stunned because the question came out of nowhere, and told him that I was single and not married. Then he asked, “Why did you get fat when you’re not married yet?”
Why indeed…
For the record, I am not upset by what he said about me per se. Many moons ago it would have really bothered me and cause me to be miserable for days, but not any more. I am upset by his rudeness, a total stranger’s self-perceived right to say whatever they like. You know the kind, I’m sure you’ve met these sort of people at some point in your life.
And because I went through years of hating my body, how I looked and basically myself, I can imagine how it would really hurt another person who possesses the same low-self esteem/confidence as I did. I can’t begin to tell you how unfair that is. Yes, so is life and the world but if you can keep your thoughts to yourself, why not? For a lot of people, sticks and stones and words do hurt.
I’m not just campaigning for people with extra few pounds. Low self-esteem does not discriminate. Whatever your size, weight, height, looks etc, it is simply not nice to have your faults (whether they are true or not) so magnified and scrutinised. Yes, it does not matter what a stranger says, after all they do not know you! Well, I’m telling you from experience that most times you cannot help it and it gets to you.
So if you feel like telling a total stranger that you think he or she is too fat/ too skinny/ too short/ too tall/ too big/ too small etc for whatever reasons (maybe you want to feel good about yourself by making others feel inadequate about themselves, I don’t know), I have something to say to you:
Mind your own fucking business. You may not see it now, but the world will be happier for it.

Wah wtf damn rude right! But omg your face damn garang wei hahahahahahahaha
Please tell me you did hit him.
If no, at least have arranged a hit on him!
Good on ya Suanie. Thats the same Mark gets when he goes to this specific fuel station near our place. If he’s married, who’s the lady sitting in front, how many kids, where you live, your age,your tool is big??? Sheesh..And I get all worked up and say “Why so busybody?” and Mark being Mark answers all their questions. Maybe he’d learn to say MYOB minus the F one day
I would have replied, why are you working in a car wash instead of having a proper job?
just had an encountered with an asshole last week. a stranger came up to me while i was changing my tyres (it was punctured – was squatting by the roadside changing the tyre alone under the bloody sun). He asked me where he is and passed me his handphone to speak to some chap to get directions to lead him to Kota Damansara.
I couldnt get the chap’s directions properly and I told the stranger that I don’t know what the other guy was saying. The stranger said to me, “BODO!!!”.
-_-

Dunno golden rule..
What a jerk, I feel your pain. Go Suanie!
People speak with their arse sometimes… f*** em all!
I experienced the same but different scenrios such as
Let me introduce you. This is “Justice pao” aka Bau Ching Tin because she look tanned ( pointing at me cuz i doesnt look like a pure chinese gal)
I just pretend i heard nothing but deep down inside i hate that fella till now
I’m never going there again… in fact I’ve never been there. Period
gosh unbelievable that he said that!
This should be a wake up call for you.
1. Your boot camp ain’t working.
2. Because you still binge like a glutton.
3. The truth hurts but it’s still the truth. So better start fixing your diet.
No amount of bootcamp is going to change the fact your input > output.
Car wash man may be blunt, but it’s a wake up call for you.
Stop making excuses about big frame body.
Fat people make excuses for themselves all the time it’s so funny.
Pork gang is your problem. Seriously. No bootcamp will work or even military drill if you’re with the pork gang, ohm nom nom nom all that crap.
idiot, have you seen me lately? have you seen me in real life at all? how do you know what i eat everyday? how do you know if i hang out with my friends everyday or not? what is it to you? you and your assumptions can go fuck yourselves.
bootcampnouse,
and your problem is lack of any balls at all to state who you are, hiding behind the veil of anonymity sure makes u sound like a real grown up.
Bootcampnouse, you have no right to comment anything when you don’t even know Suanie in person. Have you been to bootcamp before? If not, may i invite you to one of our sessions next month? well, before you say anything further, see if you can go thru it or not. If you are a man, see if you are man enough to be there with us? But on the other hand, probably not it if you have a weak mentality and weak heart. we don’t perform CPR on people like you anyway… it’s a waste of time.
lmfao, lovin the vibes from that pic! i wonder how he’d respond if you taruh’d him and said not everyone is so fortunate to have a job that is as physical as his. gotta be good exercise waxing people’s cars everyday!
SUanie,
if i were u, i’ll will just throw the money to him/drop it as it was slip from my hand instead of giving it to him..what a total jerk..fcuk him!
I have no words – what a jerk!!! As someone who was overweight, I can totally relate – everyone (my family, friends, people I don’t know at all) feel they had a right to pass judgment on me. Like running some kind of mini-assessment on how “wrong” I’ve gone.
I remember when I used to go to my grandma’s for dinner, my uncle (who still lives with my grandma) would come out, look at me with my grandma’s cooking in front of me, and say, “eh stop eating please”.
People on the street / in malls / sales assistants / WORST – promoters of some crazy beauty/slimming product – they should be stood up to. Don’t let them get away with it. I feel sorry for them that they feel the need to put others down to make themselves look better.
