I was on the bus earlier today, minding my own business, when a pair of morons who clearly had tiny brains decided to sit next to me and begin throwing random insults at me. Most involved accusing me of homosexuality. It was rather pathetic, so I chose to ignore them. I was then rather amused when they became desperate to gain my attention by trying to get in my face. I didn't give them the satisfaction, and looked the other way. In the end, I won. :D

They gave up and looked away. How do you deal with pathetic fools like this? I'd like to hear your ideas.

Generally the same way. There was one time that I just started talking to myself about why squirrles are better than chimps. I came to a crossroad when considering the bonobo, leading chimps to an overall victory. The kids seemed frightened.

I travel with a posse. Anyone trying to fuck with has to fuck with all my friends as well, which is far too much effort for the average idiot. They go bother someone else.

How big were they, if someone talks trash to me I just kick their ass right back. Get 'em in the piss pump.

Well I tend to travel alone, so I guess I can't do that.

Surprisingly I only had a problem with that type of asshole when I'm in Ottawa. People leave each other the fuck alone here unless you've got a gun and it's in Scarborough after hours... then well, you're out of luck and another statistic.

Unfortunatly i'm rather weak, and I prefer peaceful solutions... Besides, the bus was crowded. Would've been difficult to fight in such a small space.

Then just go at it on their mothers.

Just ignore them, one day they will do it to the wrong person and get stomped. You have the advantage of knowing that will happen without having to get your hands dirty.

I'd either ignore them or claim that I am in fact gay, in the hopes that they'd flee for fear of catching it from me.

I did that. And I felt good knowing that I beat them without a word.

Another good one:

Laugh at them, and give them a play-by-play of thier attacks and motivations


i.e:

"Your a big fag."

(laughs), "I am a homosexual because I am a skinny guy that they can use to take out their frustrations about getting shot down by the cute girl at school on. Oh man, I can feel it, it is almost like they HAVE gotten laid."

If someone accuses you of being a homosexual, just answer, "Grease up, I'll be with you in a minute."

Haha. Usually I just trash talk right back. They cuss alot, and they threaten alot, but I'm big enough that they don't mess with me. Usually. If they do, I get my game on. :sniper:

I remember one time going home from school, I was in the back of the bus and a bunch of 8th graders get on and sit all around me. One of them starts to talk smack to me, you know how those 8th graders are. So I look him in the eye, look him up and down, and say

"Boy, I have more hair on my nipples then you do on your balls. Sit your prepubecent ass down before I stomp you."

I got a wide eyed look of fear before he moved to the front of the bus with his buddies. :D

Kissing them does wonders.

What's your best guess in the Age Category...? Kids, younger and younger, are starting to learn cuss words, it's so sad

Kissing them does wonders.

I thought so too, but now I'm on the sex offenders register.


Though informing them of that also works wonders.

Get names, take pictures (oh, the wonders of the modern cell phone). Turn them in to the bus line management. If there is justice, the bus line will talk to mom and dad (who will then proceed to do nothing) and ban the little proto-simians from riding the bus at least until they're 18 (doubtful, but I can dream, can't I?).

Yeah, I always liked the muttering to myself approach.

Cuz they turn into adults (http://ilovebubbadogs.com/bubbapress/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/big-mouth.jpg) with big mouths.

I had one genius who kept muttering racial slurs under his breath while digging his elbow into my back while I was at a used book store.

I call him a genius because he did this at regular intervals. so regular that I just suddenly turned and stepped to the side as he tried for one more dig. ended up falling on a book rack.

claimed I pushed him... too bad the owner knew who his regular customer was. and he got real quiet when the owner also pointed out the cameras...

My brother is one of the loud mouthed kids and he tried to talk smack to me in front of his friends. Unfortunately for him I'm still his older brother so I just clouted him round the head. That shut him up and his friends have decided never to mess with me.

I have had some kids try to talk trash to me for no reason so I talk trash back, most of the time they don't even get what I'm saying. Therefore I win by default through intelligence.

Great line, I will totally use that some day :D

Normally when I got out I'm with friends and well most people see us and don't want to get involved :p Mainly cause of how we dress and the music my friend plays ;)

If someone thinks I'm gay, I usually just start acting really really gay, like flaming.

"Oh look, it's a fag!"
"Why thank you for noticing, I was hoping some handsome young man would pick up on my signal."
"Well I'm not gay, but you are!"
"Oh please honey, only other gay people can pick up gay signals. I like you, you're a bad boy with repressed sexual tendencies bordering on homosexuality. Let Willy take care of that for you."

:D

I haven't had to deal much with this sort of behavior since junior high school, the peak of most people's assholeishness. The only time I really experience it now is from opposing fans during baseball games, and if anyone tries to get in my face I have about 100 "friends" in the home colors backing me up.

This, plus I am the type of guy to give as good as I get so while ignoring them is a good idea, if they are a couple of weak punks who will run when you turn their insults back onto themselves, either that or raise your fists if they are smart enough they will back off, if they a dumb they will swing the first punch and then I am free because I am using self defence.

I remember being on a bus once when I was in about 7th or 8th grade and this girl behind me was (in a very shrill inner city dialect) trying to provoke me. I don't know what made me do this, but suddenly I turned around and hissed at her just like a cat. She looked startled and immediately shut up.

People tend to not screw with you when they think you're crazy.

My crazy shit is generally reserved for people who are tailgating me. I slam on my breaks. They keep a good distance after that.

I used to do that too, but I quit after I had my kids in the car. The thought of the idiot behind me hitting me was just not worth it.

I had an instructor once when I went to school to fix cars who had a laser pointer, and when he'd get tailgated he's point the laser at the car behind him, as if it were a laser sight on a gun. It worked very well. :sniper:

Great line, I will totally use that some day :D

Thank you:D I honestly think that was one of the best comebacks I have ever used.

Hasn't happened to me since 8th grade. Back then I didn't have to ride a bus so I just tended to walk away.

I find it interesting though that apparently some people think acting crazy helps. I always wondered why there were some kids who did that sort of thing. I don't know, to me there seem to be options that make the others leave you alone without branding yourself a weird outcast for the rest of high school.

In my case these weren't fellow students.

Put your arms around them, start talking in that San-Fransisco-gay lisp, and ask one of them to go to see a movie with you. If needed, put a hand on his leg, and if you still need more, start rubbing it a bit.

Thus begins gay chicken. Hope he caves before something awkward happens. Depending on the kid's age and level of stupidity, he probably will.

Why exactly is it relevant that she was provoking you in an "inner city dialect"?

I thought so too, but now I'm on the sex offenders register.


Though informing them of that also works wonders.Really, I am on the government's "Do Not Screw With List" as the last person who got me angry now lies with the anglerfishies.

Why exactly is it relevant that she was provoking you in an "inner city dialect"?

Because it's so much more annoying when they do it in improper and nearly incomprehensible English?

I used to do that too, but I quit after I had my kids in the car. The thought of the idiot behind me hitting me was just not worth it.

Oh I only do it when I'm the only one in the car. If anyone else is with me I either try to ignore it or just gradually go slower and slower.

When I'm alone, though, I slam on the breaks.

I've thought about getting a bumper sticker made that says "I sometimes shoot tailgaters." That might be a bit too direct though. The laser pointer idea is great.

I just give them a big inane grin, two thumbs up and say thank you. Most look confused and back off the few who don't i trash talk back or i physically pick them up and ask politely ask to leave me alone. I a lot stronger then i look so it quite worrying when i do this.

I hate all children.

They are very expensive, give you no fun at all and are just useless. As a baby they are just ugly. Only parents see their own babies as beautiful, the rest of the world knows better but politeness forbids saying the truth.
You can't do any decent communication with those stupid babies, they f*ck up your nights with cries for breasts (and I want to keep those for myself)
When they grow up, they mess up your mood by asking, no crying, for attention all the time. Still you can’t communicate with them. You can’t discuss politics or whatever.

When they become teenagers, they'll all take drugs, have sex with the wrong people and they are surely in the possibility to make you bankrupt. About 1/5 will make you nuts by saying one day “mom, dad, I’m gay”

I enjoy my freedom. I can go to any restaurant at any time or day. I don't have to look for children-friendly-hotels on holiday.

I never have to clean ugly toys and I never have to watch stupid children movies.

I never have to rush to school at morning AND evening. I don’t have to plan my sexual adventures, I can do them when I’m in the mood.

Nope, no children for me. I can do what I want. And I have the money for it.

Because I find that particular dialect to be excruciatingly annoying and obnoxious.

And do you have any idea how many false stereotypes you used there? And just general crap?

Well I can agree with the very annoying part.

They were hitting on you. :)

Yeah. I've used that one, too. "You seem to use 'gay' and 'fag' a lot to insult other men. Do you honestly think that they're homosexuals, or are you just really, really hoping they are?" Something like that.

Hasn't happened to me since 8th grade. Back then I didn't have to ride a bus so I just tended to walk away.

That brand got me left alone, which was all I wanted. Brand away. Besides, you can't brand yourself anything, really. If they're already set to ostracize you, there's not much you can do about it. May as well be "mad north by northwest" and enjoy the reactions.

As someone who is interested in the preservation of homo sapiens as a species possessed of at least some desirable genetic traits, I want to thank you very, very much for your considerate and entirely correct decision in this matter. Thank you. And thank God.

If you're already branded an outcast, acting crazy won't really make things that much worse :P I've employed the "talk to yourself" method once or twice, worked a treat.

How do you deal with pathetic fools like this? I'd like to hear your ideas.
"Ask your mother, she'll tell you that's just not true"

At 6'4" and 250 pounds or so no one much bothers me when I look like I do not wished to be bothered ... and I am fine with that.

And welcome back TIN.

I flirt with people who try to piss me off.

It disturbs them.

Being ignored works sometimes, after much persistance.

Shooting off your mouth can either work (maybe 25% of the time) or get the stuffing beat out of you/warrent more insulting attention (the rest of the time).

But, in all honesty, shooting off your mouth is much more fun.

Try: "I may be gay, but at least I get dates. Oh, and tell your dad I'll see him Thursday."
