I was out at a ballgame today, and a couple of teenagers were openly mocking my weight (yes, I am overweight but not clinically obese. Size 16 women’s for reference)

I challenged them on it and asked them to repeat themselves to me, one decided to tell me that I’m fat. I responded saying “well you can go fuck yourself,” which got an immediate reaction of shock from them. They got their parents’ attention and told them what happened, and immediately I had 3 adults about twice my age or older (I’m 27) yelling at me, telling me that it was inappropriate, and one even called me a bitch. I responded saying “if your brats are old enough to mock people to their faces, they’re old enough to deal with the consequences of it.” Not long after, I decided to move over to standing space for the rest of the game so as not to deal with the looks and huffs for the last few innings.

So now, looking back on it, not sure if I’m ta for telling them to go fuck themselves. On the one hand, I probably should have been the adult in the situation and brushed it off, on the other, teenagers tend to be used to getting away with acting like assholes to people. If they were adults, I’d have had no qualms about telling them to fuck off.

AITA?
