I don't know you in "real" life Pirate, but from what I know of you on this board, that was my reaction, too. ;) I almost laughed when I read those comments about you.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:
If you knew me in real life, those digs at me take on a really funny aspect. If anything, I am the opposite of someone that can be taken advantage of, but that doesn't mean that by not letting minor things in life get to me, that I am a pushover.

No offense, Honda Enoch. :)
But he was rude for yelling at the guy.Whazzup wrote:Go back and read the first part of the story again - the guy who answered the phone just hung up. There's no way of knowing whether he "slammed the phone down" or just hung up gently. All you're gonna hear is a click. So he didn't say, "Sorry, wrong number." If I asked for a specific person and whoever answered the phone hung up, I'd figure I had dialed a wrong number and would check and try dialing again. The caller is the one who started the trouble by dialing again and doing the name calling. He should have left well enough alone.
Even if it is only a joke there's a lesson to be learned in there.
*shakes head* they did wrong by being rude ass holes. the writer did not yell at them, he did not cut them off, he was just living his life and they were rude to him in their actions. But I guess that's ok in today's world. No wonder people act the way they do. But trying to get people like you to realize that is just beating a dead horse, so I am done with you.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:the supposed writer (and I don't believe he really experienced the incidents) is trying to make a point that its okay to be aggressive and belligerent to the point of victimizing two people that really did nothing wrong, other than to cross paths with the writer.

The assumptions we make can often be one of the most dangerous things we can do. Like assuming that when you lose someone on the phone they hung up on you. And that, good sir, is a very dangerous assumption you've made right there. :p:GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:It would be very embarrasing to be standing at the pearly gates, trying to explain that you were killed over a parking spot, or a lane change because someone percieved that you done him wrong.
