This story reminds me of the famous shopping scene from Pretty Woman:
A former victim of high school bullying was asked on a date by one of her taunters only to stand him up with an excellent note that has seen her showered with praise from all over the world.
It all started eight years ago when UK student Lousia Manning, now 22, was bullied at high school where she was called fat and nicknamed “man beast” for having hairy legs.
Years later at Oxford University, she had a chance encounter with one of the bullies who asked her out to dinner, setting an elaborate plan in motion.
Instead of turning up at the restaurant as planned, she arrived early and left a note with a waitress.
“Hey sorry I can’t join you tonight,” it read.
“Remember year eight when I was fat and you made fun of my weight? No? I do — I spent the following three years eating less than an apple a day. So I’ve decided to skip dinner.”
“Remember the monobrow you mocked? The hairy legs you were disgusted by? Remember how every day for three years you and your friends called me Manbeast? No perhaps you don’t or you wouldn’t have seen how I look eight years later and deemed me f***able enough to treat me like a human being.”
“I thought I’d send you this as a reminder. Next time you think of me, picture the girl in this photo because she’s the one who just stood you up.”
Needless to say, the story received a huge response with anyone who has ever been bullied punching the air all around the world.
