What Would You Have Said Or Done?

[BabyBeastie]

One morning last week, my wife and I were in the midst of what was supposed to be a nice quiet breakfast. We had just left the chemotherapy place and stopped at a local restaurant before going home. This was one of the rare times that she was actually hungry enough to eat.

Anyway, this young, 20-something liberal moonbat who happened to be seated in our immediate area was going on and on about the typical anti-American doom and gloom about the war that they usually drivel on about, and about how pork is dirty, how the U.S. makes it so difficult for immigrants to have a good life here and how it keeps certain people down, etc., and that their lives here are not much better when compared to where they lived. She also went on about cats, stating that they are not pets where she is from and that they are considered vermon. This moonbat was upsetting my wife and I was getting rather upset myself about her upsetting my wife. She was even upsetting the lady friend who was sitting with her.

This moonbat was talking out of her ass and was your typical poster child for the far left wing of the Dim party.

It also didn't take long to figure out that this woman was of Arab descent. She then went on to talk about seeing a program on the Discovery Channel about how a giant asteroid was going to hit the earth in 2014 and kill everyone and that nothing really matters anyway because we're all going to die soon.

After that remark, I just looked over at her and said in a very stern tone: "We're trying to have a nice, peaceful breakfast over here if you don't mind" and went back to eating.

She took offense to that and said (in a loud enough voice) to her friend that "that guy was really rude."

Rude or not, it got her to shut up long enough for us to finish our breakfast in peace.

She and her friend finished their meals before we did and as they were walking out, the moonbat leaned over to me and said:

"If you don't like what I have to say, then just move to a different seat." Without missing a beat, I looked directly into her eyes and replied, "Go f*ck yourself." I saw the blood leave her face as she turned away from me and continued on her way out.

As we were pulling out of the parking lot, her car was coming in our direction and as we were abreast of each other, I looked directly at her and gave her the finger. If I would have had a glass of soda or an egg with me, I would have thrown them at her, too. Y'all just don't know how mad I was.

I have been thinking about this little incident for a while now and I am not proud of what I said or my actions, but the anger that had swelled up inside of me was almost impossible to keep in and it got the best of me. I can't recall the last time that I have been that angry and I doubt that I would have been that angry if she was not an Arab.

Once we got home, I was feeling much better, but even the slightest stress takes a lot out of my wife and she ended up in bed for the rest of the day.

How do you all think you would have reacted if you had been there and what do you think about what I said and did? Would you have stood your ground or would you have found another place to sit?

Beastie,
I'm so sorry for the difficulty you encountered, neither of you deserved that kind of a situation. I honestly can't say I've suffered the same, but I have been in similar situations; at times I've been able to allow the Lord to direct my actions, but as you have described, at others the "devil" so to speak got the best of me and I acted unbecoming because I was simply so angered by something said or done to one of MY loved ones (usually my children).

I'm curious, the lady must have been speaking in a somewhat louder tone ... (if I was in control of myself, :smirky:) I probably would have used that as a point to try to politely explain to the lady that she probably didn't realize her voice carried so strongly in the restaurant and as I'm sure she didn't mean for her coversation to be overheard perhaps she may want to lower her voice somewhat. It's hard to try to criticize someone without them taking offense, but sometimes it's manageable if done with enough humility. I'm sure however, being concerned for your wife's well-being and comfort, it would have been extremely difficult to try to be considerate when it was obvious the other party wasn't.

Take heart in knowing, though, probably every one of us here has flown off the handle and said inappropriate things or showed bad judgement in handling such a situation ... we are human.

Again, I'm so sorry this happened to you and your wife.

Peace and comfort,
Hms

I think muslims are infiltrating the vegan society to help with their "pork" issues. I love posting on the Yahoo answers board in the food section, but the vegans drive me nuts.
It is becoming a strong belief of mine that consuming pork fat is key to maintaining sanity.

[M.C.]

I probably would have told her to go kill herself for her family's honor.

I'm sorry your wife is in the condition she is in as well Beastie, thats terrible to hear about. You and her should have the right to enjoy your breakfast without being disrupted by some America hating scumbag.

"If you don't like what I have to say, then just move to a different seat." Without missing a beat, I looked directly into her eyes and replied, "Go f*ck yourself." I saw the blood leave her face as she turned away from me and continued on her way out.

This paragraph and the highlighted phrase was more than enough. Nice work! The only thing I would have added was to tell her to return home if she doesn't like it here.

Hope the Mrs. is doing better.

Peace and comfort,
HmsThanx, Homes, Beo, M.C., Suzie, et. al. I really appreciate the comments, kind words and support. That moonbat was speaking loudly, but not because she had a loud voice, but because she had a small audience and an agenda. She did quiet down after my first comment to her and used a regular speaking voice. She also stopped talking all nutty and began talking about something else that wasn't so political to her friend.

Things I'm not proud of this last month in no alphabetical order.

1) I was at Trader Joe's and the demographic that shops there is loopy to begin with(including me), but anyway there's this big guy squatting down picking up plants and looking at the prices and his cart is blocking the aisle. So, I get close enough and then ask him nicely to move his cart. No response. I ask him again, louder this time (but still nice & steady), to please move his cart, I can't get by.

He's not deaf because he stops and turns his head the second time and looks right at me, then goes back to fumbling around with some of the flowers. Its like somebody saying to you that you don't exist, 'you're invisible'. Suddenly, a mega-concentrated form of murderous rage slips its leash and a feral animal leaps out of me and I kick his shopping cart so hard it actually flips over and shit goes flying out. He looks at the mess and I push my cart through.

2) Some asshole in a Beamer comes up on me in the fast lane. I calmy move to the right and let him pass. As he passes I watch him speed up to the car ahead of me that was keeping me from passing them. He rides their bumper too. I get back in the fast lane again behind him. Pretty soon I'm right there behind him but not tailgating. He goes nuts and tries to go around the slowpoke ahead of both of us but gets stuck in the slow lane wedged in behind a big rig and a camper trailer.

Pretty soon the asshole in the Beamer is back on my bumper again. I mean, right on my bumper, now a second time! Pissed, I decided not to get over this time. I don't slam on my brakes, but I brought it down quick > 80 > 70 > 60 > 50 in just a few short seconds. I watch the asshole in the ultimate driving machine move right in my rear view to get around me. I move right. Then, I see asshole move left in rear view mirror. I let him pass, and as he does I give him the fuk-you-fukin-fukface look, followed by this look...

3) There's a traffic jam. RT guys jackhammering the side of the road. I'm trying to merge. A shitsmear in a white Chevy truck speeds up to block me from merging in. I merge anyway. I'm tired. It was a long week. I'd rather just cave-in the front of his truck and fill out the paperwork later than stop my merge. I. just. don't. care.

Oh, the asshole didn't like that! No. He went total bitchcakes. He starts swerving dramatically back and forth, huggin my bumper like a Teletubby sniffing model airplane glue. I start laughing. Its gonna feel so righteous when we pull over and he starts eating punches at the all-you-can-eat fist buffet. I pull to my left to let him pass. I wanna see the tough guy. He doesn't pass me. I stick my hand out the window and wave him forward. He comes up. I look over. Oh no. He's making angry faces at me like a constipated ape on a banana restriction diet. I laugh at him, then stop abrubtly as I open my left hand up and smack my right hand right into it a couple times. Its a question. 'Do you want to pull over?' I guess not. He speeds off.




You see, its pretty simple. Some people deserve to die. Everyday you run into them. But, as the above examples prove, I'm an idiot. I could have been injured by any one of them. 1, 2 or 3. I lost control. Its not good. I have an anger problem. I'm trying to seek out God more so that I don't do something I'm going to regret. Just let it pass. Let things roll right over you. I'm working on it. I really really am.

Some days are better than others. Should you have gotten up and moved to another table? I don't know. It depends. Life is sometimes very hard. What I do know though is that the more we succumb to Christ's work in our lives, the more I am not going to pretend to be stronger than I really am. And its okay sometimes, God gives me permission, to be weak and not act out in anger. Please pray for me. Sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me in a good place. No, scratch that. Not 'sometimes'. Prayer, constant contact with God, is the only thing that keeps me sane. Its only when I turn 'it' off that I risk something I cannot afford to lose.

Babybeastie I am sorry that happened to you. Its always frustrating to end up in close quarters with a total ass. I dont think it would have mattered what her background was simply because you already knew she wasnt an American.

1. All people have shades of lousy. You should not have cursed at her.... But its over. We ALL slip up.

2. You had every right to ask her to stop.

3. In the event something like that happens again ask them to stop and if they cant then its best to remove yourself from situation if possible.

The rest is in God's hands.

The rest is in God's hands. You're right, Prez. I know better. Her ethnicity shouldn't have factored into this and I could have been more diplomatic. I tried to be calm, but I was already fuming. I appreciate your wisdom. Thank you, Prez.

[DoctorDoom]

"Go f*ck yourself." -- That's quite sufficient. Had it been me, there would have been unkind references to the marital status of her parents, observations on the species of her family, instructions about intimate encounters with camels, and recommendations about reinserting her head into its rectal receptacle and resuming her coma.

I have zero tolerance for leftist imbeciles, regardless of their sex, color, "orientation", ethnicity, or planet of origin.

<hr>
Sister Prez, you're far too gentle and civil.

1. All people have shades of lousy. You should not have cursed at her....When a mosquito bites one's arm, it deserves nothing other than being swatted.

3. In the event something like that happens again ask them to stop and if they cant then its best to remove yourself from situation if possible.That grants them the victory and encourages them to continue in their boorish ways until some really pissed-off dude takes direct action. It's better to squash them verbally than physically.

Its only when I turn 'it' off that I risk something I cannot afford to lose.I usually let God handle all of my troubles all the time and it really does work, I know better...but this latest episode released too much negative emotions, shutting down my creative juices that usually go into being diplomatic and funny. As a result, my lack of tact reared its ugly head.

I hear you, Wyatt...brother, it could have been a lot worse for me, too. I wanted to stomp that moonbat's guts out, but I thought about my wife and her being alone and sick while I'm in prison. Perhaps the amount of restraint I used was the good thing that came out of that encounter.

Prayer helps me a lot too, but for some reason I didn't even think of praying when I encountered someone I considered to be the devil incarnate.

Thank you, Wyatt. I appreciate your input.

I usually have very good judgement. I prayed a lot after this incident.

I appreciate everybody here at FC. Thanks to all.

Ahh, simple eloquence. This is America. Nobody asked her to come here. I don't usually condone obscenity in the presence of a lady, but in this case it was more than justified. EVERYONE should tell these Muslim a-holes to go f- themselves.

She was obviously displaying her face and talking in public, unaccompanied by a man. In the Middle East, behavior like that would have got her killed.

[buckeyepete]

As an afterthought, I would have sent her an order of bacon and a porkchop sandwich.:evilgrin:

[DoctorDoom]

As usual, Doom, you've got some good words of advice, too.Being an ornery, cantankerous old fart is a definite asset in some circumstances. IAC, if she was loud enough to be heard, she was looking for confrontation.

It also didn't take long to figure out that this woman was of Arab descent.Nothing frosts my ass so much as ignorant foreign scum who come to America to escape the pathetic way of life in their countries and to enjoy the benefits of living here, and then trash our country.

Back home, the miserable, ungrateful bitch would be in the burqa, and if she spoke out of turn, she'd be dead.

[buzzthepug!]

This is a lose-lose situation. It's always a lib spouting off (wrongly) about politics. They do this to agitate people. That stupid, ungrateful lib wanted to ruin your breakfast.

Most of us conservatives understand that no matter what a conservative says to a lib, it will be taken way out of context and the conservative comes off like the racist, homophobe, anti-Muslim, blah blah blah...hater. Most of us keep our mouths shut and speak volumes with our vote.

However, times are changing. I truly believe the majority of people understand how off-base, obnoxious, wrong, deceitful, pathetic, destructive and self-loathing liberals are. Like Cindy Sheehan, for example. She's so off-base people just ignore her. People ignored Al Franken on Air America. We need to ignore the ignorant libs and plough ahead with the important things in life, like getting your wife healthy. Plus, it is perfectly fine to show a lib where he or she is incorrect by using facts the libs tend to neglect.

I think ignoring the liberal rant and voting for the most conservative candidates works best.

BB - I picked up on a couple of your earlier posts about the Mrs having Stage 4 cancer. I am so sorry that she is having to go through this tough time; the two of you are in my prayers.

Having said that; I know we are all confronted at times with situations that can drive us a little bit bonkers. This is especially true when dealing with fiberals at any level. Did you do the right thing or wrong thing; not mine to say given the circumstances. Just remember to keep in mind what is important to you. Next time you sit down at a restaurant or anywhere for that matter; take your wife's hand, look into her eyes, and enjoy the moment. None of us know how long we have on this earth so don't let trivial things like an uneducated fiberal get under your's or your wifes skin.

God Bless my brother!

:unsmile: Ain't that the truth? At another board, I was recently accused of stooping so low as to call names, so I reviewed my own posts, then asked for a list of all the name-calling I had supposedly done. It turns out somebody was mad because I said "pro-abortion", instead of that other term. That's it! I was guilty of "name-calling", just because I wouldn't acquiësce to their terms of debate. But that's how they always act. It's easier than thinking.

[oldcoastie]

BB, I am sorry to hear of your wife's problems.

Now then - diplomacy, slipmopacy. It just will not work with most libs, and in particular, Arabs. By her actions she was looking for a confrontation and you gave it to her. I think you did very well, thank you.

I once held the door open at a store for a woman - I do the same for men - and the women's libber snottily said to me, "You don't have to do that for ME!"

So I said, "Fine!", and I pulled the door closed in front of her and she smacked her face into the door. People in the store were laughing their butts off at that idiot. :roar:

And I'd do it again. Don't insult me just for some political or personal agenda. :shame:

[BabyBeastie]

Thanks to all for your advice and comments. I really do appreciate them.

Oldcoastie LOL

[TeenageRepublican]

Liberal: If you didn't like what I said then why don't you go to a different table?
My response: Because I don't evacuate a situation when I disagree with it, unlike your typical Liberal crap.

[Timberwolf]

My prayers are with your wife & you, Beastie.

I think I would've given her a cold stare and calmly stated, "Jesus loves you...but, I think you're a pig's ass. If you don't like it here, feel free to go back to your homeland...nobody's forcing you to stay."

btw - I like the idea of ordering a side of bacon...HILARIOUS!!

[PrezLeefun]

Thanks to all for your advice and comments. I really do appreciate them.
