"Hey bitch, you got a cell phone?"

[jane_pippin]

That charming query was just posed to me by this teenager waiting at the bus stop as I passed him on my way home from work.

The hell? Who the fuck says that to people? I'm torn between laughing and being really pissed.

[Shell Beau]

1. Are you serious? He was talking to you?

:wow:

[jane_pippin]

3. Yeah, made direct eye contact, nobody else was around. It was weird!

I've never had anything that direct and disrespectful said to me by a total stranger. And I include crazy lunatics in that. That was the worst thing a stranger has ever said to me.

[Richardo]

2. I'd buy a gun, wait for the 5-day cooling off period, then cap his ass.

Little shit.

Homer Simpson: "Five days? But I'm angry NOW!!" :)

[jane_pippin]

7. No, no, no, none of that.

But I did want to slap him one. Instead I just gave him the snottiest look I could and did the "Uh....let me think...NO." :eyes: response.

[Richardo]

15. I understand.

I'm a male in Texas who doesn't own a firearm. Practically a eunuch down here.

[youthere]

4. You should have said..

That's MISS/MRS./MS. BITCH to you.

[democracyindanger]

5. or "Hey kid, you got hair on your balls yet?"

[youthere]

11. ..

:spray:

[July]

34. Oh, you're good.

Wish I were as quick as you. But I'm going to plagiarize, if it's okay! That is excellent!

[Guaranteed]

39. LOL nt

[wildhorses]

6. and the corect response would be:

Back atcha Mother Fucker...

[jane_pippin]

10. Hmmm, I have to go out again soon....

and our bus system is pretty slow. Maybe I'll get a chance for Act II. (Though I hope not).

[wildhorses]

23. just remember:

ya gotta One up 'em man... just so they'll respect ya. :rofl:

[mac56]

30. No, the correct response would be:

"Shut the f*ck up, a**wipe."

[neuvocat]

8. Just tell them that its helpful for calling the cops.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. What the fuck?

That's ridiculous.

[redqueen]

12. My answer would have been

Oh you *better* not be talking to me! Who the $#&@ do you think you are?

[anarch]

13. I'd go with the laughing...

it's healthier for you, and you seem to be out of any potential danger or further rudeness. That is completely fucked up!

I try to remain peaceful, even in situations where someone clearly deserves to be stomped...but if I ever get a question like this, I plan to say "Hey asshole, yes I do!" and then keep walking....

[jane_pippin]

17. Yeah, I tend to go that route most often too.

I find it's more disarming most of the time than other options anyway.

[skygazer]

14. My standard response to stuff like that

"I'm sorry, WHO did you say you thought you were again?"

[Maddy McCall]

16. OMFG! What did you say?!

[jane_pippin]

18. It went like this:

(moment of silent disbelief) "Um......NO" :eyes:


Not the best response, but life goes on. I felt the urge to school him about disrespecting women, but I also didn't feel the need to get into it just then with some punk kid.

[Maddy McCall]

22. What a little jerk!

I would have been speechless. Unbelievable.

[WCGreen]

19. Perhaps you should have said,

Oh my, you are such the charmer (eyes batting, hand fluttering by your face)....

But honestly, that direct approach does not work with a lady....

He obviously wanted you.......

bitch...

[Blue-Jay]

20. How rude!

[johnnie]

21. Wow!

The kid asked if you had a cell phone? What is it with kids today?


Kidding. That is messed up.

[MnFats]

24. "No. Do you have a brain, little boy."

or:

Learn some manners or shut the fuck up before you get smacked the fuck up, you little shit.

[Shine]

25. As my dad would say.."Jeez...SOME people's children!!"

:evilgrin:

Shine

[jane_pippin]

26. Thank you all for responding and making me feel better...

Time to jet to the other job.

I'll keep all of your suggested responses in the ol' noggin just in case.

Later skaters! :hi:

[Divameow77]

27. I would have said

"Yes" then kept on walking.

[tanyev]

29. Or "Yes..and I would be happy to loan it to anyone,

as long as they don't call me Bitch!" Easier to think of things after the moment has passed, though.

[nini]

28. I love opportunities like that to go off on a punk....

I love to go for the jugular when a punk like that tries to act tough with me. They expect you to be shocked and intimidated. NO WAY with me - when you throw it back at them they don't know what to do half the time.
My favorite line is: 'I was a bitch before you were born".

well, of course if he was sporting an uzi.. I'd let it go. :evilgrin:


hisss... I wish I was there with you!

[July]

35. I'm going to remember that.

Now that I've achieved glorious middle age, "I was a bitch before you were born" sounds perfect. Thanks!

[miss_kitty]

31. I think I'dve asked

"Are you talking to yourself? 'Cause you're the only bitch I see around here."

:rofl:

[driver8]

32. WTF? I would have slapped that little bastard right in the face.

What the hell is going on in this country? Who would ever ask a person a question in that demeaning way.

Unbelievable.

[JanMichael]

33. Judo.

Yep Judo.

[sasquatch]

36. I'll burn in hell for this, but....

:rofl:

[jane_pippin]

40. Oh stop it, no you won't.

Or I'll be with you anyway.

Part of me wanted to laugh as the kid said it, and I ended up laughing about it once I got home just because it was so ridiculous.

[DawgHouse]

37. "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?

Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here."

Said in your best Travis Bickle impression, of course.

[AtomicKitten]

38. I'd reply, "Yes, I do."

And keep walking.

[greblc]

41. It's sad...the kid dosen't know how to ask to borrow a phone.

Who taught him to speak that way ?

[TroubleMan]

42. When a guy calls a girl a bitch, she should call him a bitch back.

"Hey bitch, you got a cell phone?"

"No, how 'bout your bitch ass?"
