So this just happened

[TlalocW]

I was at the little restaurant in my grocery store eating abd scrolling when a man in his 60s came up to me.

Him: Reading the news?
Me (assuming he's normal): Some. Looking at messages, etc.
Him: Saw where they took Biden to the hospital?
Me (once again assuming he's normal): Oh? I knew his cancer numbers weren't good. Did something happen?
Him: No, he just couldn't stop Putin (pootin')
Me (taking a second to try and get the joke as it's just a bad play on words): Why don't you fuck off?
Him: You've got a nasty mouth.
Me: Aw, widdle MAGA bitchboy don't wike it? (pretending to rub my eyes)

He just stares at me angry then walks away.

[FalloutShelter]

1. Ha!

Good on ya.

[CentralMass]

2. 😂

[Totally Tunsie]

3. Too soon old. Too late smart.

[usonian]

4. I carry pepper spray. I use the "Uncle Leo" excuse --- "I'm old"

The threat should be enough.
Like your attitude!!

[MrWowWow]

5. Have two or more witnesses when you spray

-Just in case the incident goes to court. Bear spray works better.

[TommyT139]

8. For plausible deniability

...cheap strong perfume, in a spray bottle that happens to be slightly broken.

[usonian]

15. Fur den magats.

Say it's from:



New maga faves.

[wolfie001]

33. "Kinda new, kinda wow, Charlie!"

Sorry, this commercial was everywhere when I was a TV addict in the early 1970s

[usonian]

35. Tune is still rattling around my brain.

There's a ton of music up there.

[wolfie001]

38. That means we still "Have it!"

Cheers

[usonian]

39. Music keeps you young!!

Except for poor Mozart.

[wolfie001]

42. I cried after 'Amadeus' in 1984

I had to wait a couple minutes to exit the theater.

[usonian]

43. Wait until I find F. Murray Abraham.

That said, it might have been a neurological disease.

Mozart by Tom Hulce

Larry Kroger, "Pinto" in Animal House.



I think that THAT Wolfie would have approved. He was a comedian extraordinaire.

[wolfie001]

46. Ah yes! Wolfie was his nickname!

I had a crush on his movie wife. She was adorable. What a movie! The intro as they're taking Abraham in to see the doctor: Symphony #25!!! Momentous! And the film's just starting!

[usonian]

47. Elizabeth Berridge

Hadn't heard of her.

Stanzie?

Portrait of the real one.



https://www.historyhit.com/culture/who-was-constanze-mozart/

Catch a rebroadcast of Figaro. Great cast.
Ingvar Wixwll, Jessye Norman and Mirella Freni

[wolfie001]

48. Yes! Stanzie!

I remember that name. Also, the scene when Salieri drops the portfolio filled with Mozart's music. I think she said, "Do you not like it?" I might have to rewatch it. Probably my fourth time if I do. Cheers! And thanks!

[TommyT139]

40. Too. Funny.

[usonian]

12. I keep the bear spray at home.

Would just the threat work?

Neighbor spotted real bears the other day.



Uninvited shit is rude and abusive. I only make pleasant comments, if any, in public.

I world probably take the "Fuck off" route. That asshole should know that you get what you give. But Fox .......

I'll go look up a squirting lapel flower. From the 50's and 60's. For the shock value.



Might need a time machine.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Just So You Know..

...bear spray has the same active ingredient as pepper spray.
But, pepper spray intended for defense has around 10% capsaicin.
Bear spray is only around 2%, but the aerosol mechanism creates a wider & longer pattern, making it harder for an animal to evade. One wouldn't want to close enough to a bear to use human intended spray.
Pepper spray is, therefore, actually stronger that bear spray, but less effective on bears.
But, it's way more effective on humans.

[usonian]

23. Sporting goods store sells them in pairs.

With belt loops.

I figure that the little one on my keyring is like "open carry for pacifists" Hope never to need it.

[mountain grammy]

24. I've seen those, must be 100 years ago..

Oh how I wish.. I'm looking online..

[Reader Rabbit]

6. Da fuq?

Who walks up to a complete stranger and says something like that? Why is that kind of crazy normalized in our society?

[GoCubsGo]

21. Exactly right.

My response would be, "None of your godamn business."

[littlemissmartypants]

37. Or are you okay? Can I call someone for you?

[FHRRK]

7. You dealt with him

In the only logical manner.

[TlalocW]

10. Actually I'm disappointed in myself

If I had been thinking, I would have told a Trump joke (I have a few), or I would have critiqued his joke 12 ways to Sunday and followed him when he left, continuing to critique it.

[FoxNewsSucks]

14. Here's one to use

What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea?










Donald tRump never had a garbanzo bean on his face.

[usonian]

17. Print out this doppelganger picture

For the wallet.




Nice joke! Real, too.

[blubunyip]

64. lololol

[SheilaAnn]

9. We could hang out together, GMTA!

[PatSeg]

11. I'll never understand why conservatives

make assumptions about people they don't even know. I've had total strangers say crude or racist things to me with a "wink-wink" like they think I'll agree with them....because I'm white?

And that was a really bad joke.

[LisaM]

13. It happened to me constantly when Clinton was president.

Totally normal seeming people were always making cracks about Clinton. It was unnerving (and they were always Republicans).

[PatSeg]

29. Yeah, I can't recall a Democrat or liberal

making assumptions like that. I suppose sometimes they may not be making assumptions and possibly might be trying to push some buttons, but most of the time, they clearly seem to think I will agree with them. They often get an earful that they wouldn't forget very soon.

[Keepthesoulalive]

26. It happens to black people also

If I take the train I eat in my room , they tend to want the whole world to hear them and agree with them.

[PatSeg]

30. I guess it is a certain type of person

who wasn't raised to behave appropriately around strangers. I've always been taught to keep my politics and religion to myself around people I don't know. Until you actually know them, stick to generic topics like weather or sports.

[Bluetus]

36. Well, to be fair to the MAGA guy

The poster was using a computer. ANd he was reading.

How many MAGA people do you know who are capable of either of those things?

So MAGA-man wasn't actually being very presumptuous.

I mean, if a person was wearing an AR-15 and was not in a real military uniform on real military duty, we'd assume it was a MAGA person? If we see somebody reading, and it is not a court restraining order or parole report, we can safely assume it is NOT a MAGA person.

[PatSeg]

50. Aha, so he was probably just pushing buttons then

Just trying to provoke a fight.

[drray23]

44. Indeed thats the reason.

I am a middle age white guy living in the south. They implicitly assume I am one of them.

[PatSeg]

51. Such limited thinking is mind blowing

I've seen it happen in blue states as well. I remember a store manager in California who was very white with red hair. A middle age white customer made a racist comment about a couple of black customers, expecting Wayne to agree with him. Little did the customer realize that Wayne was married to a black woman and had two bi-racial daughters.

It is never a good idea to make assumptions about people you don't know.

[electric_blue68]

52. Thst has occasionally happened to me as a white person, too. I always counter them in sone way.

[PatSeg]

53. It still amazes me

I learned at a young age to never make assumptions about people I don't know.

[electric_blue68]

55. Hmmm... not sure when I learned that. Occasionally I still do but I usually catch myself and stop.

[PatSeg]

56. Yes, it is human nature to make assumptions

about people based on external characteristics. Okay, I can't really say I "never" make assumptions about people, but I have learned not to act on them....I think.

[electric_blue68]

57. 👍

[Cha]

18. Maga Idiot asked for it.. coming up to you like that.

[LilElf70]

19. I went to the dentist today

and the dentist assistant starts talking about Tylenol and Ibuprofen. I immediately put two and two together and i knew she was a maga kook. I said to her, if you believe RFK, the man with no evidence, then good luck. I told her I don't believe anything Trump says, as his lies while in office are probably close to 10K, and RFK is in the same boat with him trying to go against the current, with 1 paddle. It's sickening.

[erronis]

22. I tend to do the ame as you, LilElf. Lay out our position on the table directly. Magats have round heels.

They topple over quickly if pushed.

(Used to used in a different way, but I'm PC!)

[tanyev]

31. I don't take medical advice from a man who got a brain worm eating roadkill

and appears to be cooking his face like a 7-11 hot dog rolling in the heat lamp all day.

[SunSeeker]

59. Good grief. Maybe report what she told you to your dentist.

He or she should know they have an uneducated kook who doesn't believe in science or truth responsible for caring for their patients.

[LilElf70]

61. I wish I could, but

he's a magat too. He's a very good dentist. I've been with him for the past 25 years, but didn't know about his magat status until recently. He had just jacked me up on Novocaine, and left the area for my 10-15 minute waiting period, leaving us two together. I'll stick with the him until he retires, which should be any day now. Life goes on.

Someone smarter than me, recently has taken the following attitude against all the shit going on. Let if go!!!! I now say it on a daily basis.

[AverageOldGuy]

25. Some suggestions for next time . . . because there will be a next time.

Here are some responses. Look the asshole directly in the eye when you say any these, then, turn and walk away.

-- You made C's and D's in high school and the girls wouldn't talk to you, right?

-- Go piss up a rope.

-- I have shoes that are smarter than you.

-- Come back when you pull your head out of your ass.

[BidenRocks]

27. I applaud your self control

I am so fed up with this garbage that I would reach out and grab his throat until he squeaked.

I would say he assaulted me, which he did by invading 'your' space!

I am done. Every trumper is a threat and I will deal with it accordingly.

Jail be damned. This is ANARCHY!

"All enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC!"

You don't want to be an enemy of 'our' America!

[1WorldHope]

28. Bless your heart . 💜💜💜

In the streets people!

[JoseBalow]

32. I'm glad you didn't get stabbed in the neck

[Upthevibe]

34. Good on you!............N/T

[MorbidButterflyTat]

41. Wow.

"Me (taking a second to try and get the joke as it's just a bad play on words): Why don't you fuck off?

Him: You've got a nasty mouth.

Me: Aw, widdle MAGA bitchboy don't wike it? (pretending to rub my eyes)"

[stollen]

45. Red or blue state?

[TlalocW]

49. Kansas

Overland Park, suburb of Kansas City

[Grokenstein]

54. The most obnoxious a-holes always think they're the life of the party

and that everyone's just dying to hear the next idiotic nonsense they're going to fart out their yap.

When you make it clear you aren't interested--whether it's telling them to eat shit, or just pointedly ignoring them--they're shocked. And furious. MOMMA SED I SPESHUL.

[czarjak]

58. Irony lost on who can't/won't stop Putin.

[Jack Valentino]

60. "widdle MAGA bitchboy "

BRAVO!!!!!!

[pansypoo53219]

62. i'd have said biden didn't suck putin's ass.

[Native]

63. MAGA Bitchboy! I love it.

[Martin68]

65. Good job!

[red dog 1]

66. MAGAts are good at nasty stares.

[somsai]

67. I would never assume someone is telling a whopper.
