We're always getting told to not let the haters get to us, and that we should just rise above it and move on. But that's not particularly easy, is it? Especially when it involves strangers taunting you about your weight.

That's what happened to one teenager, who decided to get her own back in a pretty ingenious way.

Vega Blossom, 19, was waiting in line at her favourite bakery in Valparaiso, Indiana, USA, last Saturday when she overheard a woman behind her say: "Let's hope this fat bitch doesn't buy all the cupcakes."

Vega has originally planned on buying just the six cupcakes, but following her fellow customer's cruel taunts, she decided to purchase the shop's entire stock of 20 cakes to teach her a lesson - coughing up $56 (£40) in the process.

She then shared the cakes with her co-workers, friends and family over the Easter weekend.

The barista and student took to Facebook to explain her 'petty' reaction to what happened - which took place just before closing time during an Easter sale - with the post since racking up 66,000 likes and 23,000 shares on the social media site.

Vega said: "When I heard the nasty things the women said, I honestly wanted to cry. It really hurt my feelings.

"How could these grown women be so mean to someone they've never met, let alone talked to?

"Growing up a chubbier girl, I always got snide comments about my weight from people who, for some reason, think it's their business.

"Things like this usually wouldn't bug me, but the fact that I didn't know these women, and they said this so rudely and loudly - so I could obviously hear it - was different than other times.

"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.

"Hopefully this was a lesson in treating others kindly, and maybe a lesson in karma as well."

Vega explained that the rude woman was also overheard making loud, offensive comments about the person at the front of the queue, who was apparently taking a long time to decided which cake to buy.

The woman then sneered at Vega as she purchased her 20 large cupcakes - each the size of three regular cupcakes.

The teenager also said that after the bakery staff heard what the woman said, they gave her additional chocolates and cookies free of charge in a move of support.

Vega then got her ultimate revenge as she left the shop.

She continued: "I looked the pair straight in the eye and asked 'could you please open the door for me? My hands are a bit full.

"Reluctantly, one woman held the door open before following me outside.

"I think, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

"I am not sorry for taking all of the cupcakes."

On Facebook, she added: "I bought every damn cupcake. I spent $54 on cupcakes just to be a bitch."

Absolute hero.
