Was sitting downtown in a promenade my son likes to play in, two major roads are on either side but the strip is like a city park and several hundred feet wide.
Guy walked up to me with a cig asking for a light, I told him sorry I don’t have a lighter. He started walking away going I see you puffing and smoking all the time :mad:
I was like thats an ecig LOOK he turns I pull it out and push the button inhale and blow out “see you push the button, it has no light or flame” he turns and walks off ranting fucking wargle garble fucking garble.
Stupid but funny, my wife helpfully adds he will probably tell people about this white or syrian guy who is too good to give him a light(syrians here are considered like the 1% in the USA, not as refugees.) and I a like lol he can tell whatever kind of story he wants matching whatever narrative he wants fact is I did not have a source of flame to light a cig period. She helpfully translates how people will see things, even though she agrees they are being stupid.
We were cleaning up from the Pope; had three lanes of traffic down to one. My turn to be flagman (instead of loading the tractor trailer). A woman drives up & stops, “Can I get a job?”
Me: “No.” <looking at the line of cars behind her> “Keep moving.”
Her: “Fuck you!” (as she drives off)
Others on our crew heard the whole conversation too. We were all WTF. :eek:
I didn’t say anything to ‘deserve’ that & despite the fact that I’m not authorized to bring additional people on, what makes her think that we need anyone else or where was she going to park, & what was she going to do with her passenger?
I suspect that she was not asking for a job; she was snarking at you for “not doing anything.” Like, “look at this guy standing around, he’s got an easy job. Lemme ask if they need someone else to do that!” Then you didn’t appreciate her funny and told her to move along, ya jerk.
