Don't know if anyone else had this kind of experience, but here's what happened to me recently
I was sitting out in public just hanging out minding my own business, and this guy comes up to me saying 'hey I'm not selling anything but want to talk to you for a sec.'
Preparing myself to nod and smile as he peddles whatever religion at me, he starts on preaching about how his gastric bypass has changed his life and he hopes his story would help me just think about it.
He kept apologizing if he was offending me, but I was more offended that he said he had been even bigger than me. 'I mean, that's almost 500 lbs!' shortchanging me on my weight.
I kept debating through the conversation if I should just tell him that there's no way in hell I'd get the surgery, and that my having a fat body wasn't invitation for him to comment on it. But figured it'd be smoother just to let him say his piece and go.
