Is this rude?

Discipline - 5-25-2006 at 11:34 AM

I'm on the train this morning and some lady (mid-40's) fell asleep on my arm. I nudged her a couple of times and she didn't wake up, so launched her off my arm. She and her daughter, who was seated a few seats down, started yelling at me. The mother is screaming at me in chinese and the daughter in english. The daughter was claiming I assulted her mother. What the fuck? Her stupid ass fell asleep on my arm and wouldn't wake up. How am I the bad guy. I did manage to piss off a large number of people around me cause I told the mother that if she can't speak english she doesn't get an opinion. They really pissed me off.

Fuckers.

Strong work. You did nothing wrong.

MM.

That would piss me off too, but I dont think Im the kind of person that would really launch a person. I probably would have found a way to wake her up and tell her to move. Falling asleep on someone is rude though. Ive had people who were standing next to me while Im seated rest their books on my head... or ladies have their bags right in my face. I usually push them away in an unfriendly fashion.

along those lines, i'll say that another thing that bothers me about people in public like this is when you choose to be a gentleman and hold the door for someone whether they're behind you and you wait for them or its someone coming in and they dont even acknowledge the fact that you did it for them. now when that happens i make it a point to say rather loudly "no , thank YOU for letting me hold the door for you"

Classic my friend, truly classic!!!!!!!!!! Alot of people think this but dont have the balls to say it in this politically correct drenched society we have created for ourselves. There should be no debate on the Nations language, it's fuckin English and if you dont speak it and care never to learn to, get the FUCK OUT and stay the FUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!! You did nothing wrong Discipline, nothing at all. She should have apologized to you and moved on. Fuck em.

this bothers me to no end.
i always try to be polite and hold doors,
even when people are far from the door.
then to have some one not acknowledge it, fuckin drives me nuts.
it doesnt have to be a thank you, i'll take a smile or a head nod.
just something

Indeed! Just some sort of gesture is fine. Same when you stop and let people cross the street. Speaking of that, and public annoyance...

Name: "Diagnal Dannys" or "Diagnal Darlenes"

Deffinition: The assholes that are in shopping centers and the walk in front of your car but instead of taking the quick cross straight across the driving area, they walk diagnal taking 3x as long.

Another one I have a name for....

Name: 3 niggas deep

Def: When multiple (usually 3 or more) people are walking together on the side of the road and walk side by side on a small ass road instead of behind eachother so no car could possibly get by without going into the other lane. Me and my gf always say "Mother fuckers coming out 3 niggas deep!" in a hip hop / ghetto type fasion.

crazyfists28 - 5-25-2006 at 01:34 PM

those are both so true and funny names for em'

BDx13 - 5-25-2006 at 02:50 PM

i probably would have given her a sturdy shake and a solid "come on, now!" in a raised (though not yelling) voice.

DaveMoral - 5-25-2006 at 05:46 PM

I think the whole issue of English is a bit out of hand when you're saying "learn the language or stay out." I mean, dudes, seriously... after a certain age learning a new language... particularly going from say Chinese to English, is a chore. For that matter, English to Chinese. They are two languages completely unrelated to each other, and concepts and words don't translate well or 100% usually. Voodoo, with all due respect, that attitude is just plain ignorant and insensitive. Seems to me most countries in the world are far more accomodating to Americans and their inability to even learn enough of the native language to pass on a trip... let alone move to their country and not speak the language.

crazyfists28 - 5-25-2006 at 05:56 PM

i have to side with voodoo in that if you come to america, the land of opportunity, the least you can do is learn the language. yes spanish and many other languages are becoming more and more prevalent but jesus christ, if you live here, work here, raise families, at least learn the basics. im not saying you have to be perfect but dont just say no thanks i'll stick to my native lands language and move somewhere else....this topic is endless

In America. Speak English. Learning a new language is great but if you need to communicate then use English.

thedog - 5-25-2006 at 07:05 PM

i too have to side with voodoo.
if you come to america for a better life and want to earn american money,
you should at least be able to read/speak the language thats printed on the currency.

i cant speak anyone else, but for me personally... if for some reason i was movin
to another country i would want to learn their language.

Discipline - 5-25-2006 at 07:08 PM

Toronto is known as the most multi-cultural city in the world, and I swear like half the people can't speak english and it pisses me off to no end. You want to move here fine, but learn the fucking language and learn it BEFORE you move here. If I moved to another country where english wasn't the language, I would learn that country's language, rather than expecting them to cater to me.

some people need to be door kicked. (you know what that means dont ya? - ive done it =p)

Discipline, what you did wasnt wrong I don't think but maybe a bit harsh, but fuck em' skets.
