We all know that we shouldn't let the haters get to us, but that's easier said than done. Luckily, people like Vega Blossom provide us with everyday examples of how to stand up for oneself. While the 19 year-old was waiting in line at her favorite bakery in Valparaiso, Indiana, she overheard a woman behind her say, "Let's hope this fat bitch doesn't buy all the cupcakes." As a response, Blossom developed a savage revenge plan against the rude customer and executed it flawlessly.
"When I heard the nasty things the women said, I honestly wanted to cry," Vega told Daily Mail. "It really hurt my feelings."
"How could these grown women be so mean to someone they've never met, let alone talked to," she wondered. "But I swallowed the hurt and thought of the best possible thing I could do back to them that wasn't horrible, but that would teach them a lesson about respecting others."
The comeback did cost Blossom $54, but over 74,000 people who liked it on Facebook believe it was totally worth it. Scroll down to check out the story and share your thoughts in the comments.
