Well it started off (Saturday) with a pleasant day with the wife and her mother..Going to a arts and craft show with them and shopping....I thought I was being a good husband and son-in-law..I kept my cool as we go in and out of all these shops..When it came to time for lunch, we all wanted Japaneze(sp) food....We get to the restaurant, I open the IN door and my wife and her mother start thru...This ignorant POS starts shoving them back thru the door(instead of coming out the OUT door)..Of course I stand in front of this POS and tell him if he can shove me out of the way, he can go on outside..So he decides that is not his best move to make and goes back in...I procede to let him know that he has been a very bad boy (in my loud voice). Everyone in the waiting area was laughing at him, taking his LESSON FOR THE DAY...Come to find out he was going outside to get his family, because his table was ready..All thru the meal, he kept and eye on me for some reason, although I was not at his table, he got the idea that I was not very happy with him..I truly love to make friends as I go thru life.....LOLOf course my mother-in-law was telling everyone in the family that she thought I was going to punch him...I told her that I was not that type of person.....Just thought everyone would want to know, they are everywhere.....in every town and city...The POS's are taking over...

    Suh-weet! Good move, Bubba! Glad you slapped this rude a**hole down! This is something that has been bothering me for years. Regrettably, it seems inexcusable rudeness is becoming the norm. Suppose we shouldn't be surprised, parents don't raise their children to be polite, don't/aren't allowed to spank the little brats like they should, rude children become rude adults. Doesn't help that everyone they see in the movies and on TV act that way and get away with it and are even praised.

    Got him...... Good.When I see people abusing common courtesy, I go out of my way to...... 'help them along'... with their lives of happiness.Guys strong arming through a crowd is my favorite. I usually try to place myself in their path. They tend to.... ah...well...BOUNCE.You see, I am 6'2", weigh 340 lbs, with a 52" chest and a 46" waste.I don't 'push out of the way' as easy as the wimin, kids, and small folk. Doesn't help that I stick out in all the wrong places... elbows, knees, shoulders, etc.

    Nice job, Bubba. Being on the small side, I use a somewhat different approach, but we do what we can; the ultimate aim is to humiliate them into acquiring a veneer of civilized behavior, if only in our presence.

    Well it wasn't that long ago, just before my daughter moved off...We were going into this restaurant and these 3 college age boys was standing in line, waiting for their table...They were using language that would make a sailor blush (no offense against sailors). I politely asked them to refrain from using such language around my family and other women and children....Of course they had some tidbits of wisdom for me....I weigh approx 300lbs and I asked these guys if they were christians...One of them asked WHY..I said that if they were not, they may want to make peace to whatever power they respect...Because I was not going to put up with some smart a&& punk, that was as low as worm dirt...They decided to eat at another restaurant..I haven't fought in years, but my size deters a lot of problems.. My wife says that, one of these days, I'll have to back up what I say...At 58 years old, I don't heal up like I used to....LOL...

    At 6'6" and 270 (see dinner thread), I usually win those "right-of-way" confrontations myself. Mrs. Mudge (5'2" 125)tends to be passive and will give up rather than confront a rude or abusive person. She can't understand how I do it. I've tried to 'splain to her that's it's not only size but mind set. The person you're "intimidating" has to BELIEVE that you'd use your size advantage to back up your words. Bubba....recently ran into the same foul language situation. Coming from some late teens early 20's boys AND girls. Now, I was brought up that you don't use that kind of language around ladies. I'm 66 and STILL won't. I won't allow it around Mrs. Mudge either. Yeah, we've both used the words but not in public. ANYWAY...I proceeded to ask the main offender if he kissed his Mama with that same mouth. They got the message.It's a practiced thing.Mudge the enforcer

    Where do you all live? In rural East Texas, such behavior is rare. Even in Dallas, I usually only encounter rude and thoughtless people on the highway.
