And another Me Too tale, which has absolutely no point:

10. Riding the bus home "from work" because downtown parking is a ransom on it's own....
Old drunk guy is dropping his bills all over the place. I'm smiling and hoping I don't have to bend over to make sure he doesn't lose his money. After the third time he drops not only 1's but 10's and a 20 wrapped inside, I tease him a bit, "Keep trying to give it all back, doncha?"
He's like "Fu** you" and I look at him and say, something like, "Not in your wildest dreams, old man"
Then he tells me, "STFU - I'm from Philly."
"You're from Philly and that means something to me how?" I say because this isn't my first drunk and belligerent on the bus.
So he tells me, "Get a job."
I snap right back, "I HAVE a job, as**ole. Where do you think I just came from?"
"Well, try laying carpet!"
"Hah, I've laid tile." The bus driver chuckled other people were laughing louder.
"Bullshit."
"My whole downstairs basement. Heavy Italian tile, cut it up with a water saw and every thing." Shut is face up for awhile.
He stared at me like he was going to come hit me and I almost wished he had. All I would have had to do was move quickly enough and he would have broken his fist on something behind me. He started sputtering and the driver told him that I had tried to be nice to him and if he didn't watch his language and tone he could get off the bus and stay outside.
Someone with a walker came on and I moved back a few seats. Someone says they saw him give me the middle finger.
At least the bouncy had laughing on-lookers. I'm not sure what there was to laugh at, though.

19. Next time
Next time, remind him YOU are paying for his Fox news watching, Socialist, Social Security and Medicare.

No, he is. And what is that word "Socialist" doing in that sentence? Looks like a Freudian slip.

28. this "off their meds" phenomenon must be nationwide-- ran into some crazies in NC
I went to a down home country cookin restaurant that has never been anything but a bunch of friendly rednecks in the ten years or so I patronized it. Last week for the first time ever at breakfast there was a bunch of raging old assholes acting drunk at 8 am, going on about not Obama but Harry Reid. Not all at the same table either, shouting to one another at some distance. Wrote it off as a one time aberration, until hearing last night from my partner that he went back with someone else at breakfast and witnessed the same bunch acting the same way, this time making wild false accusations against Obama.
Again: People Are Talking.
