What's with some people?

Yesterday I was at the pool. Someone walked up to me and asked "Is the deep end deep, fatso? Cause if it is, You better get a floatie"
The funny thing was, I was far fitter than him. I train every week, he eats hamburgers every week. Genius.

    That guy has a small TRIBBLE.

    I had a guy like that harass me in the pool on Sunday; I tried to ignore him for about half an hour, but I finally got pissed off because he was interrupting my workout by complaining at me because I'm faster than him, so I called him a Klingon insult (rather than the less than socially-appropriate phrase I wanted to use), and swam off.

    He was waiting, standing in the middle of the lane when I got back. I tried to go around, but this idiot moved so that I ran right into him. I told him to get out of my way, he said "Oh, yeah, how does it feel NOW, huh???? Huh? How old are you???"

    Almost two decades of being laughed off by older but stupid people because of my age has left me with a deep hatred of that type of dominance ploy. I called him an ***hole and tried to finish my lap. He grabbed my left leg and the right leg of my swim trunks.

    I kicked him in the gut (was aiming for his balls) and finished my lap, then I tore into him for grabbing me. He was complaining about me lapping him, still. It turned into screamed profanities pretty fast.

    The lifeguards hauled us both out; I was rational enough to apologize, but the jerk left without another word. The lifeguard, who was smart, went into the locker room with me to guard against conflict. Get this: The goober was all upset about me kicking him.

    Even though HE initiated contact.

    :rolleyes:

    The best part? This guy's in his early 40s by his looks, and my dad (who's pushing 50, kind of short, and about 50 pounds overweight) could kick his *ss in seconds. I'm a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and I know Hap ki Do (Korean akido). I could've disabled and beat up this goober in seconds if I'd wanted to.

    There are idiots like this in life. The best response is to ignore them.

    Not a bad idea, but it sets a precedent. What next, our Genuine 'Murican Guns????

    The NRA won't stand for it.

    Some guys just feel the compulsion to assert their dominance over everyone within reach. Sooner or later some of them are stupid enough to bite off more than they can chew when somebody strong enough to beat them takes offense. The stupidest out of those will still fail to take the hint to back off, and end up needing to be force-fed their own limbs.

    Yeah, the idiot I ran into almost got to that point. If the lifeguards hadn't stepped in I figure I'd have broken his arm or something after another minute of yelling. Guy just couldn't stop escalating and insulting me...

    Lol, that was one of my favorite scenes in DS9.

    When I went scuba diving last summer the dive master always carried a three pronged spear similar to a trident for killing lion fish. I think it would be the perfect solution for Worffan's problem.

    This made my day, both in humor and in regards to the second person to post in this thread. Good on you to kick him. People like that need to be shown a lesson - especially in Klingon. :)

    As regards the OP - perhaps, should this recur, you could point out that fat people are actually more buoyant than skinny folk. People like him are often confused when you refuse to take insult, and instead start discussing the actual physics of the situation.

    Or you could then go on to add that he's obviously in no need of a floaty himself...

    Then just hope he doesn't say "I can use you as a float!". Then at that point you just punch him. That'll straighten him right out.:D

    The funny thing was, I was far fitter than him. I train every week, he eats hamburgers every week. Genius.

    Such dull, lifeless insult, as well. Take a page from Cyrano de Bergerac's playbook. Up the insult to show how pathetic the original was:

    Insulter: "Sir, you have a very big nose!"

    Cyrano: Young man, I am afraid your speech was a trifle short. You could have said at least one hundred other things, varying the tone of your words. Let me give you some examples.

    In an aggressive tone: "Sir, if I had a nose like that, I would amputate it!"

    Friendly: "When you drink from a cup your nose must get wet. Why don't you drink from a bowl?"

    Descriptive: "Tis a rock! A peak! A cape! No, it's a peninsula!"

    Curious: "What is that large container for? To hold your pens and ink?"

    Gracious: "How kind you are. You love the little birds so much you have given them a perch to roost upon."

    Truculent: "When you light your pipe and puff smoke from your nose the neighbors must think the chimney's afire."

    Considerate: "Be careful when you bow your head or you might lose your balance and fall over."

    Thoughtful: "Place an umbrella over your nose to keep its color from fading in the sun."

    Arcane: "Sir, only the beast that Aristophanes calls the hippocampelephantocamelos could have had such a solid lump of flesh and bone below its forehead."

    Cavalier: "A hook to hang your hat upon."

    Emphatic: "No breeze, O majestic nose, can give thee cold - save when the north winds blow."

    Dramatic: "When it bleeds, it must be like the Red Sea."

    Admiring: "What a fine sign for a perfume shop!"

    Lyrical: "Is that a conch shell? And are you Triton risen from the ocean?"
