Quote: I've convinced myself to not feel guilty about this, but I really felt like an ass at the time. I deserved it, though.
I do a few 5K runs every year, and after one of them (this one in particular was a bridge run) I got on the bus with my friends Josh and Susi to go back to the other side. During the race, ambulances follow the people from the back. Well, this time we decided to just walk it because Susi didn't want to run. We purposely decided to finish dead last, but we couldn't. There was this group of "obese" people walking as slow as possible in front of the ambulances and the ambulances kept beeping their sirens and stuff at them to make them go faster.
Back on the bus: Talking and joking with Josh and Susi with my big mouth, I say something like, "Too bad there was a bunch of fatties walking slow on purpose, we should've been last." Then, the guy in the seat with me says, "Hey, let me tell you a story."
Guy: "I have a friend named Aaron. He's been struggling with weight problems all his life. A few times a week, he walks underneath the bridge back and forth. So far, he's lost 150lbs. He has various health problems, but he's always talked about, 'One day, I'm gonna do the bridge run.' This was his year. He finally made it. We even had tT-shirts made to support him."
Boy, did I feel like an ass. I still get teased about it to this day. I admit I deserved it, but I don't care anymore. They were walking ridiculously slow, probably for attention. Even so, I do tend to watch what I say more closely now.
maybe the guy was lying.
