"A round of lager for the awesome people, barkeep." "Yer got I.D.?" "..."

In reply to Rhiarti. Yeah, I know. Looking back on it and wishing I'd given him a piece of my mind is the thing that drives me the most nuts. As it was, I managed a disgruntled-sounding "fuck off" as he walked past, to which I got no reaction. I'm actually kind of glad, because I have no idea where I'd take that "conversation" next. :) And you're right. I am awesome. You're awesome. Everyone who has commented on this post is awesome. And, given my rather slim (no pun intended) readership, I can say with a reasonable amount of confidence that everyone who has read this post is awesome.

I suck at small talk. Or, rather, I was raised to be really good at it, but nobody accounted for the way my brain works. So, halfway through smiling and nodding politely in all the right places and asking about the dull-as-shit thing I've no interest in hearing abou... ah, well, yeah. You see my problem! I'm hopeless at concealing the inner workings of my mind, heh. As I said at the time, for what it's worth I had a similarly brutal comment when I was actually half a stone under the safe weight for my height. Idiots open their mouths and stupidity comes out... you just happened to be standing in its path. Which, given to this day I still wish I could go back and give that tosser a piece of my mind, probably won't do anything to help you shrug it off faster. Important thing is you're awesome. People who know you, who talk to you, who like you for who you are? We're all agreed on the bit about you being awesome. Some random monkey who doesn't know you from Adam? We're pretty much all agreed about him too...

In reply to unmanneddrone. Hah! It's true. "Your dad's a paedo." "Brilliant. No he's not though, is he?" "Yeah, but he is." "Right. Great. Brilliant."

In reply to Jp. Oh, me too. Frickin' hilarious. Well done Google Images. (That was a search for "rudeness", incidentally.)

Can't remember the source, but I still stand by the comment, "I'd rather be intelligent and ugly, than pretty and stupid". And sitting in silence with friends is often more fun than making random conversation, I find :)

A good post, sir. And after all, you've really got to ponder on the fool's outlook; what a blinkered and dull life one must lead to find even the slightest excitement in denigrating strangers. I say if that dreadful thing happens again, take a leaf out of The Inbetweeners and retort "Brilliant!". Depending on who's carrying the neuron at that point, they'll have to rub cells together rather fast to counter the unexpected. Considering the complicated world of today meeting their interface - the classic 386 running Windows 7 analogy - you'll be home and eating dinner by the time their wit arrives.

I truly feel for you, pal. That was an uncool thing to do. I remember (some 60 lbs and massive amounts of heavy object lifting ago) being the brunt of somerhing similar at a Yankee game. It's not fun.

That said, I giggled my ass off at that picture. I may have driven off the road had I come across it.
