I was having a reaally bad fucking day. I switched from the work-truck to the 'stang so I could run errands.
I was close to the edge I guess,you couldn’t tell from a normal interaction though. I rounded a corner when I saw these teens in their baggy gang wannabe cloths crossing the street in front of me,strutting as slow as they could,even stopped, throwing fake gang signals at me (there are NO gangs in this small town,only wannabe’s) I turned down my music and said"get the fuck out of my way!!!" the kid said"fuck you" By now my bloods boiling. I slowed to a stop next to zippy the pinhead,rolled the pssgr window down(electric) I dont know what I was gonna say but I didn’t get a chance to say anything , He bolted like a frightened doe!!
Now why in the fuck do you want to go around taunting full-grown adults?huh ? I KNOW your not gang,so stop with the act. Especially when you only weight not much more than a paper weight and I know your not strapped. I’m sorry I made you pee your bloomers but you were messing with a fucking mad dog. Go home to your milk and cocoa puffs and learn from this, puppy…
I know you’re not going to like this, Tony, but:
your = possessive “Clean your room.”
you’re = you are “You’re going to get it!”
I understand you’re pissed, I understand you’re just venting in your thread, but screwing up “your” and “you’re” pisses me off too!
Heh. They tend to bolt when the bumper of the ol’ T-Bird gets within 6" of their baggy-pants swathed knees.
Take you’re edukated ass elsewhaer.
Yeah I know better I was typing “train of thought” at least thats my excuse…
That was a train? I thought it was a go-kart.
I didn’t say bullet train…
Must be the mood I’m in, but I think everyone’s attitude in here is hilarious.
To try to calm myself down, I glanced at Tony’s location. That didn’t help.
I like your style Tony
LOL,there are SOOOOOOOO many times I have to “bite my tongue” and NOT correct grammar.
I LOVE when other people do it though! And I’m with ya,I think mixing up your and you’re is extremely annoying,makes me cringe EVERYTIME!
(psssssssssst, I’m new at SDMB’s, but not new to communities, chatrooms, or bbs, OR the Straight Dope itself) please bear with me while I learn to adjust my fonts, etc. None of the other communities to which I belong have those options,hence my caps etc when emphasizing words,)
Can I qoute you on that and make it my sig?
Kidding:D
I was walking down the street a few months ago, and I see these 2 little bastards walking towards me a block ahead. They must have been 17 or 18, (I’m 29, an old geezer :D), and as I normally do, I’ll move over slightly to the left or right of the sidewalk, to let people coming in the opposite direction walk by. Well they move in the same way, (I went right, they went to their left), I said “alright, let me go the other way”, (they were still walking towards me, not standing in front of me), and they moved as well. Well folks, in Brooklyn this means only one thing, I’m about to get mugged. As they were approaching me, one of the kids reaches around his back like he has a gun, and they both push and shove me against the fence. I told them to shoot me, and holy shit you should have seen the looks on their faces. :eek: doesn’t even begin to describe it. I shoved them out of the way and had a hearty chuckle, as I walked off.
I tell you kids these days don’t know what they’re doing.
Damn coding.
How about “I like the cut of your jib”?
How about “I like your moxy”?
B R double-O K L Y N
Do they really call Brooklyn"The planet" ?
the stories you must have…
I HATE it when they’re, their, and there are used incorrectly.
Didn’t you guys read the OP? He doesn’t have a train or a go-kart. He has a work truck and a 'stang:)
We have a few “tough guys” like that in our neighborhood. Punk wannabe’s. They like to play football, etc. in the middle of the street, and don’t believe in moving out of the way for cars. I’ll slow down a little for them, but I won’t stop. To do so would only feed their idea that they are powerful! I’ve gotten pretty dang close to them, but they DO move!
You’s grammar police can take you’re proper english over their where you’re gramer we’ll be apreciated
Hows That??
Or - Train-wreck.
C’mon lob you could do better than that…Let’s hear it…
Oh-- can I tell a story?
One day I was walking down the street and these two kids (maybe 14 or 15) passed me and one grabbed my ass. Well, I turned around and snatched the nearest one by the neck.
“You think you’re a man? You think men go around grabbing women’s asses? How 'bout I kick your ass like you were a man?”
His friend ran across the street, screaming and pleading for me to let him go. That he was going to go get his mother. I let the little pisser go without beating him to a bloody pulp.
Of course once he was safely across the street they both started mouthing off. I just beckoned them with my finger and told them I was too old to hear them from waaaaay over there. I don’t think they’ll be too quick with the ass grabbing next time.
