It happens, and fat people are usually the bullies. Around six months ago, I was being bullied at work by a short, fat, miserable bitch.  I felt powerless to respond because she had been working there for much longer than I had, so if I retaliated I would definitely look bad. Anyway, one day the verbal abuse was so bad that I asked the boss if I could speak to him.  Not just for me - she had bullied three other employees on that day, THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER NO LESS! So I spoke to the boss, and he looked at me, and sighed.  Then, he said, "Enough is enough.  I'm sick of it."  It went on for a bit, but the gist was that I wasn't the first to complain about her behaviour and, now that I'd complained about it, given that I'm pretty well-regarded as a good worker, they would address it - tell her to either change her attitude or leave. She doesn't work at my workplace any more.  :)
