Maybe, if you’d had a phone on you (some people don’t, I’m just saying) you could have called the police and told them what happened; describing the van and saying it had no license. That is, I believe, against the law to drive without one, so they could’ve stopped her, at least.
Early Out, nice 
Sure, then he could be a sizeist, sexist, looksist, blasphemous proto-vigilante on a cell phone in traffic. All he needs to do is eat a genetically-altered, irradiated McBurger and upgrade to an SUV and the Pit will implode.
Um, if there’s a Dent Wizard in your town, you might have them take a look at your car. Those guys are magicians. Did a helluva job on our Miata for a very reasonable price.
And her being morbidly obese (combined with all of the other facts the OP provides about her) very much DOES have a lot to do with why the OP was mad at her; it’s not just a gratuitous reference.
She’s just running through life bumping off of shit and then moving on down the road without taking care of the problem, which is why she got fat in the first place.
Even the hugely obese, skanky ones?
That’s a joke, folks!
Gee Lizard. A quick pursual of this thread reveals that you have actually commented on the OP a total of…
Zero times.
You’ll notice in my very first post I expressed sympathy to Keith.
You, on the other hand, haven’t mentioned the OP at all. Instead, you’ve donned your Fat-Basher Man[sup]TM[/sup] cape and raved about freedom of speach. Defended the rights of people everywhere to insult people based on their size.
I’m a moralist and YOU haven’t even bothered to comment on the OP. Whatever. You’re a moron.
Keith - It sucks about your car. I really does. The woman was a reprehensible hose-bag. I’m sure your car will be fixed up good as new and now you’ll have a really great story to tell at parties.
Really?
I’ll bet you do.
Ever see a 13-year-old Britney Spears wannabee in a mall and concluded that she’s probably more interested in her physical appearance than in getting into MIT to pursue a degree in electrical engineering?
Ever been approaced by a stinky, dirty street bum? If so, did you judge him by his appearance? Or did you treat him the same way you would treat a clean, non-stinky man in a three-piece Brooks Brothers suit?
I could go on, but you get my point.
I think trying not to judge people on their apearances is a lofty goal, and I think society would be better off if this were to happen more often.
But I’m not there yet, although I’m trying my hardest.
Sorry for the hijack. But Mom!! Everyone else was doing it!!!

. . .
wha…
Well, there you go, Keith. Now you can go after this woman and collect! It seems that TaxGuy knows who she is, since he obviously has access to her medical records.
Excuse me?
Are you in any way equating the horrors experienced by the victims of racism, religous bigotry and gay bashing to those who have been critized or discriminated against because they were obese? I would like some clarification please.
Dumbest. Post. Ever. :rolleyes:
It’s not even worth getting angry over, since this person doesn’t even have the sense god gave a rock.
Dear Lord, you and I both know that I am a pathetic, bored, and boring little man.
I don’t ask much Lord, probably because I don’t think that you really exist.
But please Lord, if you do in fact exist, let this thread explode into a hate filled free for all so that I may be entertained for a few hours and can forget about my pathetic little non-life.
In other words Lord, please guide Diane into this mess. Some of her friends are already here and this could turn into another Florence and Normandie in a matter of seconds.
Thy will be done.
jesus fucking christ, as soon as I saw “fat” in the title and 45? posts already on the threat I was thinking, god damnit, them fat and anti-fat bashing people are probably having a party.
People, keith was clearly venting. Anyone here who doesn’t think “fucking ______” (enter name/type/stereotype here) are fucking lying to themselves. You suddenly think keith is scum for screaming "fat bitch!’ Oh please, I’ve said and thought a lot worse.
Making fun of other people, espically when they wrong you like this stupid bitch (sorry to all the real stupid bitches out there) is nothing new. If the driver was black and keith mentioned welfare does that mean he’s rasict?
Fucking PC people suck.
I say we change the title of this thread to “THE FAT AND THE FURIOUS”
Oh, please, all of you really need to get over yourselves and dedicate all of this energy to something that matters. “Fat” is a descriptive adjective. Guess what? I’m fat. You know why? I don’t exercize enough, something I’m trying to change, but if I was the person involved and Keith said “That fat guy hit me”, I wouldn’t say boo, because it’s the truth. Recognizing this truth is what has made me start to increase my exercise level. If I ignored it or went around in a snit because people rightly described me as fat I’d have tons of excuses for being fat and no incentive to change.
Nah, it’s clearly gotten fatter and furiouser than that.
I realize that I’m fat, too, and if someone described me as “that fat girl”, I wouldn’t be as offended. But he was using her fat as derogatory, not just a description. What difference does it make if she’s fat? She’s an idiot for not watching where she was going and a scumbag criminal for leaving the scene. Where exactly does the fat come into play in this scenario?
Now wait just a gosh darned minute here! Just what are you saying? That if someone has an opinion that we disagree with that it is better to attempt to present an alternative point of view in a polite and informative way than to lash out at them in a hostile and aggressive way?
My God man! The next thing you know people will be engaging in rational discourse without polarizing or feeling defensive and digging in their heels! Where the hell will we be then? Fighting ignorance or some shit?
