Tough Talk,
I was in the grocery the other day and a man who looked like he had seen better days was in front of me and got kind of snotty and made rude remarks. At first I felt sorry for him as he is probably homeless, but when he opened his big fat mouth, I of course didn’t like the filthy sludge gurgling out of his face. I let it slide and didn’t say anything, but think I should have said something. What do you think TT? (Authaire, Idaho)
Authaire,
It’s always a difficult decision to dish it back or ignore it. Numerous factors go into these exchanges, family members and physical retaliation among them. However, I probably would have said something like you have to realize what a superior individual you are and can’t expect every body to live up to your high standards. I might have also called him a pretty pretty princess or spoiled brat valley girl. For whatever reason, I find that these insults always offend homeless people. Although you may feel sorry for someone, that doesn’t justify him coming out of nowhere and mocking you out. Don’t let this slide again.
