I was speaking to my Mom in Spanish at a grocery store. Some guy behind us said, Learn to speak English. Were in America.
I turned around and said, Fuck You! Is that enough English for you dick?
He didnt reply.

(8,958 posts)Spanish were here way before us and before that, many many tribes of non English speaking Native Americans, multiple languages. Before we came and stole the land. Fuck his MurKKKan lingo, I am certain he doesnt even speak English properly. Speak Jesus back at the dumb asses.

They are ignorant and unknown tempers, I don't want to poke the wrong idiot on the wrong day.
Meanwhile I plan to visit the frying pans, if I ever do go out, first.
Use imagination.....

(22,894 posts)was what my husband told a guy who moved up too close to us while we were standing in a line. He had no mask of course. Hubby meant, you keep a six foot distance or you can catch the virus.. the guy took it another way I think.. He had the fear of God in his eyes as he backed up.. So I understand this completely.. you just get tired of their crap

I had one laugh at me for wearing a mask in a small market that doesn't enforce masks. I told him that he was the same people who dug holes in the ground stocked with a barrel of beans and a barrel of water to avoid Armageddon. You take an assault rifle to the grocery store and keep loaded guns in your house because you aren't afraid. All you are doing my friend is whistling past the graveyard, it's ok to be afraid. Things aren't going back to normal for many years, give me a call when you decide you want to wear a mask I have extra.

(as an immigrant, and English my second language but unaccented, this sounds like something I can one day ladylike emulate)
