like a magnet that attracts rude people??

I keep to myself, I live by "The golden rule".
I'm not rude and if I don't know you I probably won't give a stranger more than a smile and a "hi".
My wife says she doesn't understand why people say what they do to me. After 19 years or being married I think she has a pretty good idea of who I am and we had a conversation about it. She said I'm the only person she's ever seen that little kids and the eldery like ( I had a woman in her 80's walk up to be in the grocery store and ask me for help a few days ago), yet people say things to me that should start a fight.
I bought some shoes yesterday, it's a bit of a pain due to having broken my foot a number of times. I'm sitting in the chair joking with the store owner that the shoes what have the most stability for me are actually for X-country runners, and I'm hardly a runner. Well, Mr.butthead next to me says,"FYI, if you want to change that there's a race for couch potatoes coming up". WTF over??
I'm no svelt ectomorph, but I'm no couch spud either! When did it become ok just to run your mouth and make assumptions to people you know nothing about??:mad:
I'm seriously thinking being a hermit has it's advantages:neutral:
 
You are a better man than me. That shit would piss me off, and wouldnt stand. I've never really had that happen to me, or at least never heard anyone's remarks about me. But I do get bumped into walking, at the mall, or whatever, and that annoys the hell out of me. wouldnt be so bad if they said, sorry, or pardon me. Nope, they never take their eyes off their damn phone.

WTF is up with people and sidewalks?? They walk 3 wide and expect you to move , and when you don't you get a dity look !!
After moving for all these asshats I told my wife I had enough. When I see people walking 3 wide I turn my head and act like I dont see them. I developed this attitude after a weekend in chicago. Either I just stand and wait for the 3rd person to move (wife and I end up single file on the sidewalk trying to be the better people) or they look like they've hit a wall.:glare::whistling:

I don't move over for assholes like that, especialy young punks with their phones and itunes running. Wife just falls in behind me but I will be damned if they own more than half the space whether in a store or on a sidewalk. I feel the same way for obnoxious little brats whose parents let them run wild. They meet the immovable object when they run into me.
 
As long as this world is turning, there are going to be rude, nasty and stupid people.
I clearly recall an experience in a supermarket, where I had my cart out of the way, right next to the vegetable cooler. I'd just selected a bagged salad mix, walked away from the cart and went to grab a bottle of salad dressing off the shelf across the way.

This guy with an obvious problem, went up behind my cart and rammed the hell out of it, then went on his way.
I just stood there wondering why he did that, as he didn't even stop in that section to get anything.

Another time an old lady bumped me in the butt with her cart, and said "Move it girlie before I clip your tail feathers" lol
I chalked that up to granny just being granny, and apologized if I was in her way. ;)

As for your experience Shep, yeah.. people are like that.
You just have to roll with it and go on with your day feeling content with the fact that you aren't that rude.
 
I guess I'm big enough that people walk around me figuring they don't want to piss me off I guess. So that isn't much of an issue for me. I'm always polite, but I guess if you look like you can rip their arms off, they keep their distance.
 
What really pisses me off when I'm driving is rude obnoxious teenagers who think they can walk all over the road and ride their bikes 4 wide right down the middle of the side roads in town. Here I am coming along in a rush to get somewhere and the rude buggers will turn their head around, look right at me, then slow down and take their sweet ass time and not move over. HELLO!!! I'm in a truck you ignorant little bastard. GTF outta my way and stay over to the side of the road where you belong.

Another one that gets me is coming down the back lane and there's someone walking. They won't move over to let me by. NOOOOO, they just keep on walking right down the middle of the road. I have to just idle along until I reach the back entrance to my place. That really pisses me off.
 
meh, yet if we did the same crap all these people pull, EVERYONE would look at us like WE were the assholes!!
 
here's another great example..
My wife and I are out, and some dude in his 50's comes up and starts hugging all over my wife. The conversation went like this;
ME: "hey, what do you think you're doing?"
HIM: "oh, it's ok, I've known your wife for a long time"
ME;" No it's not ok, I don't know you, so get away from my wife or you and I are going to have a serious problem"

well, he's given me the stink eye since then. Everyone says" Oh he's a nice guy". I tell them what happened and they just make up some excuse. yet, I'm the one who should"give him a chance"

screw that
