I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I am saying it's a thing.

You never know what's going to set someone off. It happens to me occasionally; recently, in fact. I said "good morning" to a guy walking into the store and he flipped me off. I stopped asking myself, "what the fuck was that?" Literally, stopped and counted to sixty three times before walking back in the store. He flipped me off again which only brought the retort, "is that supposed to scare me?"

I don't know if he just chose to be an asshole or if it was naturally ingrained. (Said so in the store.) But, I also have no idea what was going on in his head that morning.

Going back to the point of never knowing what's going to set someone off? I have a very low tolerance for disrespect, to anyone. IF they open that door...

[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 1559140, member: 12209"] I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I am saying it's a thing. You never know what's going to set someone off. It happens to me occasionally; recently, in fact. I said "good morning" to a guy walking into the store and he flipped me off. I stopped asking myself, "what the fuck was that?" Literally, stopped and counted to sixty three times before walking back in the store. He flipped me off again which only brought the retort, "is that supposed to scare me?" I don't know if he just chose to be an asshole or if it was naturally ingrained. (Said so in the store.) But, I also have no idea what was going on in his head that morning. Going back to the point of never knowing what's going to set someone off? I have a very low tolerance for disrespect, to anyone. IF they open that door... [/QUOTE]
