For some strange reason I get very little, and the few occasions I've received any gob they've backed down right quick when I stood to my full height and spread my lats at them.

Because I'm rarely in a happy place myself I typically respond with instant vitriol and aggression.. Thankfully this has never played out into an actual face-to-face standoff, although in the heat of the moment following my life being endangered by someone's arrogance or stupidity I could literally tear the head off a kitten..
In better times I'm happy to let genuine indiscretions slide, or passive-aggressively antagonise knobheads with an overly cheerful and friendly response..
I'm not that large (I'm old instead lol) but yes, I have had my fair share of stuff shouted at me.Try being a larger woman on a bike
I mean the verbal kind....like youre riding along minding your own business and someone calls you an fffing ****er just for being on a bike....or someones passing manouver has been delayed for 10 secs so they give you a mouthful as they come by....or car load of youths pass within an inch plus laughter and abuse...I expect the majority here have experienced this and it upsets some more than others.
For me i have a kinda David Attenborough approach.....Im wandering through jungle/desert/savanna wherever and recognising/categorizing various species and when confronted with a lesser spotted red r'sed baboon just recognise the type and continue on my way. Occasionally ive given the middle finger when appropriate or responded in kind but its rare these days as im a wiser, more intelligent, better looking [old fart]
