The Worlds Biggest IDIOT. ME!

LOL. I nearly ended up in a fight at Blockbuster last week.

I will teach you how to piss people off without resorting to violence. Haha.

Sounds like you did a good job kicking his ass. And I'll bet he will be nicer to people now!

I shall remember this story next time I see a 60+ guy at the supermarket that I just want to rush by. Not that I push people at all, but you can never be too careful. More people need decision making skills. "Does waiting behind this guy for 5 minutes fit better into my busy schedule than going to jail for 24 hours?"

OK, without reading the rest of the article yet. You won't get any arguments from me.   (<---- There's the smiley face just in case anyone misses it)

I would love hearing his 'story' in jail, how I was this huge 20 years old that musta knew some kinda karate or something.

funny part of all this is, if he would have tapped me on the shoulder and said sir, I am in a rush would you mind if I got in front of you, I would have said "sure, go ahead".

Hehe, I remember putting glue in the keyhole of a guys car when he jumped into a parking I had waiting a minute or so for the person to get out of then he and hsi friends look at me as if sayin "what you gonna do about it?". Call me an idiot as well for I left and never saw if the guy had problems with his door or not. Kinda defeats the point of punishment if you don't know if it worked.

Oh, BTW. Good job. They should give you a gift card or discount next time.

"funny part of all this is, if he would have tapped me on the shoulder and said sir, I am in a rush would you mind if I got in front of you, I would have said "sure, go ahead"."

You're such a nice guy, MM!

i don't think i would have grabbed him but the rest he wouldn't have gotten in front of me like that.


i have had older people think they have a right to be in front of me too. because they are handicapped and i don't look like i am. well the truth is i am handicapped the longer i stand the more i hurt. i don't mind little an older person in front of me but don't just assume you have more rights or pain than i do.

daniel: Why don't you use the little motor-scooter?

i leave that for someone who really needs it.

Nice, MM. There's no strength like old strength Kids don't understand we've been here a while, and that on a lot of days, we may not be that attached to staying much longer (not that that's what you were thinking). That's a dangerous adversary is my point. Never mess with an older dude (I can't bring myself to call you "old" at a mere 60+

I second the "good job."

keep old keys with you nothing harder to get out of a lock than an old key that has been broken off at the nub in a lock. Not that I would even have done that, it's just a um story I heard, yeh that's it a story.

I am still trying to pay in little peices off my huge karmic debt.

I agree daniel, there are assholes in every religion, race, and age group.

Like the elderly, in-pain people that you begrudge being in front of you in line? Haha.

I learned this lesson at the age of 20 fairly fresh from Nam when I disrespected a friend of mines father, Rufus Speaks was his name {the father} well Johnny my friend just hung his head because he knew what was coming, Mr. Speaks who was around early 60's kicked my young strong ass and the whole time was talking to me in a very reasonable tone of voice" Angel {my street name forever} "I really do not like being talked to that way and I am sorry for doing this but you gotta learn respect for your elders" Needless to say 41 years later I remember the beating I took and the lesson I learned.

i don't begrudge them being in front of me. depending on how i feel i will usually allow an old lady in front of me.

what i begrudge is the one that comes up and tries to push me out of the way.

There's no way possible for you to take the title from Gene, so you'd have to be the second biggest idiot at worst.

Sounds like you did what needed to be done though, and hopefully taught a punk some lessons in manners.

I swear I gave up a long time ago on people showing respect to others, much less to their elders.  I know I get frustrated at times with 'geezers' wandering the aisles in front of me in stores.  I wish they'd have brains enough to move to one side of the aisle or the other, and wish that their hearing was good enough to here the footsteps behind them, or that their sense of touch was enough to feel the breath behind them as they stop dead in their tracks absolutely oblivious to the fact that someone is walking behind them with no way to get around because there is another such individual walking in the opposite direction <grrrrr!>

But, I've seen and been ticked off at just as many clueless school aged teens and youngers that don't have any manners whatsoever.  Walk around like the own the place, stand in front of the donuts breathing over all of them, fingering what seems to be half of them, pushing their nose up into many of them, and then continue to stand there while trying to find a second or third to go with the first one that they got.  Never occurs to them to check the case before opening the first door, or to move aside and perhaps let the person that knows what they want grab it and get on their way so they won't be late for work.

Still, I stand patiently (on the outside, impatiently on the inside) waiting for them to MOVE (THE F---) out of my way please.

Manners went out with the dark ages, apparently for all age groups, but most definitely for the under 40 age group in most places.

way to go MM.

This kind of reminds me of me when I was on the train in Boston many years ago. A big black guy and his friends got on. I was standing holding onto a pole because it was so crowded. This guy grabbed my pole and towered over me. I was about 110 pounds and looked every bit a small town country gal. I had my pocketbook zipped, around my neck and hanging at my waist.

As we were going, he started humming in my ear. He was only inches from my face, distracting me. It felt very uncomfortable. When the train stopped he went to exit while I stayed on. I looked down to see my pocketbook unzipped, saw him sliding my wallet under his coat as he was going down the steps. I reached over, grabbed my wallet from his big black hands and shouted very loudly for all to hear...."that's my wallet, thank you very much." He ran off into the darkness.

My mother in law almost fell off her seat. She couldn't believe I did that. She said I was a hot ticket. A name I'm very proud of.

But I had my kids baby pictures in that wallet. And nobody was messin' with them.

So, way to go MM. Welcome to the "hot-ticket club."

Be careful, you might call someones attention over the use of the word black. he may think you are being racist like he thought LW was.

Biggest Idiot?  no way!  You used a great amount of restraint, and just the right amount of force to defuse a dangerous situation and teach a young miscreant a valuable lesson that may save his life in the future.

If you had not intervened, the damage to this young pups life, and perhaps those around him may have been far more serious.  Well done!

Haha...that was the first thought that came to my mind, too.

And good for you, KFC - well done. I think we all meet in the middle here. Wrong is wrong and people - individuals - need to stand up and stop it.

Now if we can only apply this same determination towards politicians, we may actually start changing things for the better.

well I felt like the biggest Idiot, but as usual you are right gene is by far the biggest idiot on a daily basis.

It is not my job to go around teaching people manners through violence terp.

This has gotten so weird, congrats about this, is not what I wanted at all. My behavior was terrible and childish.
