I'm still stuck on the fact that you had to mention he was "white". What difference did his color make?
But in any event, under the circumstances you laid out, yes, he was wrong for making a snippy comment, but you were also wrong for flaring back immediatley like you did. You dould have tempered the whole situation easily without igniting the fire.

I guess that was redundant. Everyone in Sebring is white.

Yeah, my apologies... I guess maybe I should have just left it as "trash."

I agree. BR probably doesn't need felony assault charges in his life.
From everything I read concerning the description of the other dude, I'd guess he was probably lying about having a job...unless he considers slinging Oxy a job, which hilljacks probably do, come to think of it.

I thought "white trash" was a phrase and don't hear just "trash" used to identify a particular demographic of people.Scarlet_Buckeye;509150 wrote:I'm still stuck on the fact that you had to mention he was "white". What difference did his color make?

It wasn't intended to be racist but if it came off that way, my apologies.

I'm an asshole by nature (just ask my girlfriend) but I don't go out of my way to be an asshole. It's usually something directed toward me that brings out the jerk in me. For the most part, I'm pretty good natured and am not looking for trouble/confrontation. I was in a good mood this morning but it was just the way this dude came at me verbally...his tone.Heretic;509239 wrote:I agree. BR probably doesn't need felony assault charges in his life.

I do not think it does, I think "white trash" is a valid description of a person and do not think it reflects racism, it reflects more socioeconomic or habitual status, but I could be wrong.

That was the intent. Nothing to do with race.
He kinda looked like this except older and more haggard...and no, I didn't get into a verbal altercation with Santa Claus.

So if it's a haggard Santa, it's just Santa addicted to Vicodin and meth?

I knew a girl once that looked like Hermie the elf denist. Unfortunately, I never got any verbal altercations from her.

The strange part is that I got a glimpse of the guys drivers license and all I could make out was part of the last name..."Mantoot". I think there was one more letter at the end but I coudn't make it out.

Well, that makes the "slinging Oxy/meth" even more likely.

Why is it every old person in line in front of me at a store has to get the change purse out and count out every penny and nickle of an .89 cent bill?

I think you got lucky. you didnt know he was going to take forever inside the store. plus, if you move your car before you go in, maybe someone else would have taken that spot and screwed over the guy even more!

lol, not at all. I have been late running out the door many times in my life. But that or something like that would have been the first thing out of my mouth if somebody was a jackass to me like the guy in BR's post.FatHobbit;509032 wrote:You're one of those, huh? lol
