I must be getting old :(

[bodyhard]

As most of the folks who know me on here (and those who have met me) know I have been in a lot of fights in my life, as a teen in my twenties, in my 30's and even in my 40. Hell I had a fight roughly 8 months ago due to a car accident my son was involved in.

Anyway I was on the phone with Kevin (DBX) and I was telling him the story, so I figured what the hell I have not posted a fight thread in a while, so let me post it (although there was no fight )

OK so the story, last week I drove Patty (my wife) to the store. The store is in a gas station, I had my car parked in front of the store, but in an angle parking.

There was enough room for a truck to get by me to get to the pumps, but this guy in a taxi could not. Now instead of this guy just politely asking me if I could move my car he doesn't. What does he do? He opens his window and yells out to me, "Hey assh0le, you don't know how to f'cking park? Move the f'cking car you f'cking idiot!"

Now here is the "I must be getting old" comment. I am just so drained and tired of all the f'cking fighting/arguments/beef I had nothing left in me to even respond. I put the car in reverse and gave him room. (room which he didn't even need to begin with)

My wife gets in the car I told her the story, she said "you didn't say or do anything?" I said no, it happen just as I told you, she doesn't believe me.

I am getting old...

Or bees.

Or something.

Forgot what I wuz gonna write.

I must be gettin' old....

[KLMARB]

Better get your T3 and T4 levels checked.. (NOT SRS)

[so-tex]

You are not really getting old, you are getting wise and more mellow.. I hear what you are saying. Things like that 20-30 years ago would have set me off. Now, for the most part, I let it slide, unless someone throws my own remote control at me , and even then, I take it outside.

[DocHoss]

Time to turn in your alpha card!

[pharmamarketer]

I say you are getting smarter. Any idiot can yell fuk u. Takes a smart man to just move the car. You have more to lose.

Bolded for emphasis.

I'm not risking my life or future on some loudmouthed dip****. They aren't worth it.

[Brad805]

Waiting for the part where Patty made you chase him down and then she did the smack down routine we come to expect

[paolo59]

I don't know about anybody else, but I thought that's just how folks say hello in New York!



Every once in awhile it's just good to let an idiot be an idiot...they're going to be one anyway. Keeps the blood pressure at a reasonable level too. Now that you're 'getting old' you need to watch that sort of thing. He he he

[bodyhard]

LOL some of you guys are hilarious! I am down about this sh!t and you guys are kicking me

[Brackneyc]

It was a good move imo.

[x-trainer ben]

Your gonna fit in nicely in Northern Virginia.

[highiso]

He probably took one look at you in your booster seat and baby gap t and figured you were harmless.

[Jrob69]

Guys driving a taxi- he is already being punished.

[V-240]

Nah, you're just getting wiser... We have to pick out battles sometimes. This douche canoe probably wasn't worth it.

[cowboybiker]

In for kinder, softer, gentler Bodyhard.

But if you start any threads about rainbows and fluffy unicorns, I'm gonna have to neg you.


Sorry bro, I just dont think I could handle that from you.


I'm selfish that way.

Damn I'm on spread! What's next, is FLEX going to thank a 20 year old for his input in the O35 section, ID going to post in a thread without a picture. Is iron Charles going to shut down the dat a$$ thread. I have come to expect much from this section, I am disappointed. Next time she runs into a store ask her to leave your balls behind












Had to kick as well.

Both smarter and perhaps more mellow. The last time, about 10 years ago, that I yelled phuck u to another driver was in a post office parking lot. Ran in to pick up a package only to return to my car with both front tires slashed. Not only younger then, but about 100 lbs bigger.

Agree x10000. I can think of a ton of potential negative outcomes for you and your family that could have happened. Now some random idiot doesn't affect your life.

[MiamiSpartan]

I thought maybe you hurled pennies at him instead of quarters.....
:-)

[bodyhard]

I can feel the love!

[2nd_chance]

It's been 8 months?!?! Wow!

[bodyhard]

It's been 8 months?!?! Wow!

I am slipping right?

F#cken LOL'd hard!!


John,sometimes we just gotta walk (or drive) away.No shame,just the way it is.

[KLMARB]

At least now you're to the point when you can consider a job with the Postal Service...

[trymarine]

Never ever experienced or seen anything like that, in a petrol station here in England,suppose we're all too upset at what we're having to pay to focus on anything else.
(Equivalent to ten dollars a gallon here now).

[drudixon]

Guess I need a new idol now...

[jwdjrs]

You did the right thing man

[mtpockets]

it's called growing old and growing up.

Instead of getting pissed and over-retaliating like I used to do, I've found an alternate entertaining way to deal with idiots now. Last situation I had that was similar, the guy (Who I could've easily strangled) was having his meltdown even though HE was driving in the small lot through the "Exit Only" lane. After pretetending I didn't notice him for a few more seconds, I make it look like I just noticed him and rolled down the window and said, "What? You need directions to a laundrymat?" Another barrage of profanity. Me, "I really like your shirt too! By the way, from this angle, your car looks lke some sort of alien ship. Maybe it's the sunlight, I don't know. You have a spot on that fender. Might be some bird poop. Better check that out. I like Fruit Loops cereal. TTHHHEEYY'RRRE GGRRREAT!" He was friggin' beating his dash like Animal from the Muppets on his drums just having a bigger meltdown. Slammed his car in reverse peeled out, went around and came in the right way. He didn't say **** as I was out of the truck by then "checking " for something in the box. I was whistling "Sesame Street" as he was muttering under his breath walking away.
