This makes me think of a situation I was in one time when I was 17. Some buddies and I had gone to Buckeye Subs in Worthington for lunch. This older man pulls in behind us. We go inside and get in line, the guy comes in and the people standing in front of my buddies and I say "Hey there Bill! Go stand up there with your team."
Now I'm sure they all worked at the same place and were out to lunch in groups or some BS like that. Being the smartass that I am, and not taking kindly to them just having someone who got there after my friends and I go up to the front of the line...I said, "Hey guys, can you let Bill know that the back of the line is back here?".
This guy who appeared to be in his late 20's-early 30's is already laughing and he just turns around and says, "Oh it's ok, he's just meeting up with his team." To which I replied, "Yeah, me and my team have to wait in line like normal people, so so should Bill."
At this point his tone turned a wee bit sour. He started saying it wasn't a big deal, and just started brushing me off, saying I needed to learn some manners. I started getting pissed. I was saying how I didn't know it was good manners to get in front of people standing in line. Him and two other people he was with started giving me the whole "respect your elders" speech, and they started acting all pissy. This only fueled my smartassedness (yes, smartassedness). At the time I had really long hair (as some of you have seen from the "80's pic" I've posted here before), and the woman with the guy said to her friends, "Is that a boy or a girl? I really can't tell."
At this point I said fuck any kind of manners I was holding on to. I told the woman I could assure her I was a man, more man than her husband. She said my penis would be too small to satisfy anyone (real mature of a 50-something year old woman), and I told her I would whip it out right there in the middle of Buckeye Subs. Apparently it was ok for her to go there, but not me. She immediately looked disgusted and said her son would never talk like that. I told her her son was a pussy and should learn to stand up for himself then. The guy that was originally talking to me then literally got in my face. At the time I was 6'1" 165 lbs, this guy was about 6'4" and probably 250...he was built. But I didn't back down, I stood right in his face. He asked me what I said and I told him he heard me. He just stood there trying to stare me down, and I told him to go ahead and hit me. At this point he just turned around and stood there silent the rest of the time we were in line.
I'm sure they were absolutely livid that I was such a smartass, and I'm sure they thought I was a little punk. But I wasn't about to back down from some adults abusing the fact that they were in a group, just because I was a kid.
