Hey guys, I just wanted to share this experience that happened to me the other day in Kmart. Now, as some of you know - I am African-American. Just wanted to lay that out there so there is no confusion over who I am. So I had just come from the gym, and just changed back into my street clothes. I had been really sweating bad, so I wrapped a towel around my head so I wouldn't gross everyone out in the store. As it happened, I bought a pack of cigarellos and had one in my mouth. I don't smoke anymore, but I like to keep an unlit smoke in my mouth so I can at least think I smoke, heh. So I step out of line to grab something off the rack a few meters away, but I came right back. I got in place right where I was before, only now this weird white dude looking like he's on meth or something had just gotten in line, and he was looking at me all weird. Just as I was about to explain that I had been in line before he rolled up in his oversized tshirt and baggy shorts, he started mouthing off to me! He said: "Hey motherfucker, I didn't see you standing in line. Were you in line here?" "Excuse me?" I countered back " I you just walked up in this line" "YOU GOT AH PROBLEM MAN?" He yells back "You know what? I have a gun!!" At this point I noticed an odd smell coming from him and looked into his eyes directly for the first time. His pupils were narrow and he looked like he was about to draw down on me. The balance of power quietly shifted when I lifted my shirt, exposing my 32DD sand ,my impeccable stomach (I am really a woman, but I sorta look like a man) He snapped off the safety I thought he was going to shoot me right there.. I sort of was taken aback by his aggressiveness, but after regaining my composure, I asked the clerk to call the police. She did... "You got a problem man"? He says I tried to ignore him, but at the time, I thought the best thing for me to do is go in the other direction. He still had this crazy look in his eyes, I have no idea what he was trying to prove, but he looked like an idiot.... The cashier finishes checking him out when I realize that the rest of the shoppers and Kmart staff are looking quietly down at their feet. I immediately came to the realization that unlike other screaming matches that I've witnessed in shopping lines where everyone is staring at the incident, everyone at the store lines knew that I was prepared to defend myself with my fists, amazingly there was no screaming and Hollywoodesque hysteria. Just simple silence. The cashier immediately began to apologize when I walked up to the counter about the incident. I told her not to worry about trash like him in a clear voice. She still kept calling me sir virtually every sentence. When I spotted him again, he was a distance of more than 150m across the parking lot running to his car. Man, some people - give em a gun and they think they're gonna kill every black man in Arizona! God, I am so dumb. Disclaimer: This was a parody. Prolly not a great one, but I did put a bit of effort into it... |

Epic lol, I fully support the OP and his thread! |

I have been on my best behavior here lately, with the new carry law everyone should... Because anyone with a gun can carry now and because it's new all the wannabes are gonna be packing looking for something like this situation you described to come their way. I think I would've given up my place in line but, that's just me. |

Quoted: "Satcong", a popular sentiment a long time ago in a place far, far away. Were you there, brother? I was not, but my father was...and he met someone that had that word tattooed on his arm. Edit: I really hope I don't get banned for this joking around thread, but if I do, I still love this forum and Ed. Senior, he was always very good to me in the old days. Cheers. |
