> [@Chessic\_Sense](#): > > Oh yeah, that’s a good point… > > Wait, no. It’s stupid. Because I DIDN’T get on at Vienna or Shady Grove or Frac-Spring. And I didn’t take it the entire track. I end up paying the same price as I would have anyway. It makes absolutely no difference, money-wise, if I swipe in at my start station or the end station. And Jamal deals _ **every day** _ with assholes who _ **did** _. How is he supposed to know you are a “lily-white, pure as the driven snow, honest commuter, who just had a small problem”? Oh, yeah, you were wearing a tie. And were arrogant. My mistake. Assholes never wear ties. And are never arrogant.

And I’m not a fucking intern. No, Monica Lewinsky was a “fucking intern”, or at least a “blowing intern”. You’re just an asshole. Wearing a tie. And acting arrogant. BFHD, why should Jamal care about your problem? Maybe if you try being polite to him, next time, instead of arrogant and condescending, you might get a better response. Just a protip… ---

Can we petition to have the thread title changed? Because if the OP is this guy’s better, why didn’t he TELL HIM THAT? Tell the Metro guy to do as you say. [Why tell us](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=internuts), oh lord of the manor? Oh, I forgot…you’re a wuss.

I would like to know who Chessic considers to be better than him. If I make more money than you, have more assets, am taller and stronger, am I your better? Is the she penis hidden under folds of flesh or is it out there open to direct stimulation? ---

I do recall an incident when one proclaimed “See? This is what I hate about White people!” I’m not really sure what that was about, as I wasn’t a direct party to it. There have been other harder-to-prove incidences, and I never got around to Pitting them for it, so I figure I’ll just lump them all together here. … No, it’s using one incident, in which one person said something that was probably racist and turning that into, in your own words “a lot of them are” and “I’ll just lump them all together”. Which you continue to do here, > [@Chessic\_Sense](#): > > … The whole Metro crew, on the other hand, is…questionable. There’s the time the cops were stopping people for being drunk or whatever, 'cept it turned out that they were stopping a lot of White people. There was the employee who actually said out loud “See? This is what I hate about White people!” There was the cop who stopped me and started questioning me. “What’s the stop for, officer?” “You said something under your breath.” HUH? That’s illegal now, is it? … 'Cause obviously the cops were only stopping White folks, couldn’t be that the drunk folks that day happened to be largely White? Oh there’s that “I hate Whitey” guy, again. (Third time’s the charm?) And the cop. I’ve walked past my fair share of cops (been pulled over and [Terryed](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_v._Ohio) by more than my fair share) but never for something I said.

> [@Chessic\_Sense](#): > > I love it how pointing out obvious racist incidents make one racist. Apparently overhearing “That’s what I hate about white people!” makes one racist. I don’t know if anyone else has said this - I’ve been skimming the thread - but the things you have written here make me feel exactly the same way as the overheard employee. And I’m probably at least 90% european by descent, i.e. white. Honestly, somebody ought to pick up that old phrase, “a credit to his race”, and come up along side your head with it. You think you are _anyone’s_ better? Dear God, why? You are obviously lacking in foresight, manners, tact, respect, compassion, patience, and even basic intelligence. I have been a stranger on the DC metro recently, and made two ridiculous mistakes; the Metro employees may have been annoyed and condescending, but their treatment of lily-white me did not indicate or inspire hostility and accusations of racism - they probably just assumed I was a tourist and therefore a PIA. (Why the hell didn’t you just say you’d lost your ticket, pay the maximum fare - if he made you - and save everyone in DC and on this board a lot of aggravation?) If you’re so damned well-off and respectful, screw class, go buy - don’t rent - a clue. And stop perpetuating racist stereotypes by your behavior. ---

I’ll go out on a limb and say its because the OP is a racist. The worst kind, actually. The nutless kind that doesn’t have the balls to say it. I wouldn’t like it, but i’d have more respect for a skin head or KKK member that at least admitted their racism. He (or she…maybe since the OP is a wuss) hides it behind the words “I’m your better”. Fucking pussy. Which hilariously had to call out hoping \*\*Rand Rover \*\*would back him…because dickless wonder racists can only really feel big when they have numbers, I guess. RR basically told him to screw himself.) ---

I love that **Chessic** continues to seem to think his situation was unique, and that the Metro dude can’t possibly be lumping his actions and request in with the other dozen people a day who try the same stunt. How dare that guy not see **Chessic** for the unique snowflake that he is? It’s OK. When the Metro worker gets a gift of two kittens with crushed heads in a flower pot, everyone will know who it’s from. ---
