I consider myself (mostly) a kind and respectful person. I find myself asking people on their cell phones having personal and/or loud convos to "shhh" on the bus, or people smoking in non-smoking places (i.e. the hospital I work at) to stop and any other self absorbed act I witness that irritates or puts in jeopardy the people around them, to knock it off - I get serious attitude back, cursing or threats. I think Portland can be passive to confrontation, but people who just don't really give a shit are dicks. No amount of directness or politeness will make them think twice. Happy Holidays!!
Awwwe, it's so easy to spot these small town midwesterners who move to Portland then vent spleen over every tiny annoyance they observe someone else make. Cute rant.
Hey anon, here are a few more : Likes to fight guy (pretty much is despondent if he does NOT get in a brawl on weekends. Also bumps metal on the way to the bar).Home brew guy.....I was really intrigued to hear about your vegan, locally sourced hops bock...not really.Fan "guy"....knows nothing about the actual game or athletes, but is really involved in yelling things like "and one" (which means you actually shoot a ft, you fucking moron) or insult anyone they perceive to possibly be an opposing fan. Trust me, none of them know. Annoying people are generally either unaware or dont care. You know what works? Ignore them and go on with your life which is likely more important.
I am that guy because I have weak bladder. I will have to pee sometime during a show and then I will have to push your weak ass out of my way to get back to my spot. I am that guy because I can see and hear cars on my bike and for twenty years I have blown through stop signs without a close call ( I have had close calls because cars turn right). The rest of your gripes are there and they don't bother me cause I am not a bitch. I see you crying in your car in traffic as bikes fly past. Why are you that bitch?
And then have a sequel called That Girl!
I demand to know why you are such a whiny bitch that's all up in my business. Tell me!
That guy.
Whining FAIL!!!!
