I immediately said sorry, then realized, how am I supposed to watch behind myself while walking? So then I started laughing. Then he got really angry. That made me laugh even more. So eventually we're walking in the same direction and I can't help to do anything but look at him and keep smiling and laughing while he's getting more and more angry. I used to be like this, with the saying sorry immediately. But after working in DC where most don't say a single word on their commute home, and probably because bumping into each other happens all too often on the subway. Not many other people say it either. Usually tourists from the southern US will. Also, I hate/maybe fear? old people. I dunno active old people don't bother me, but the ones that look like they might drop dead immediately creep me out! | ||

another respect situation I enjoy is walking on a sidewalk. If someone's coming I'll move 50% out of the way, and if it's some douchebag who doesn't move the other 50%, I'll gladly give him some shoulder as I pass by. And if it's a group of douchebags, I'll walk right though the middle of them. I hate it when people expect me to get out of the way for them. anyways, I would have done the same thing to the guy, but with more civil language. | ||

In the city i live in people that just walk past eachother smile and say hello so i have these habits pretty bad >_< luckily its alot more healthier to have polite habits n_n | ||

If he kept being a dick, I may have eventually said something, but I wouldn't have cursed at him. Props for not taking any shit though. | ||

Old Man

I’m very sorry. I’m not myself much these days. Time marches on, and looking at the face of what I’ve lived, sometimes it’s hard not to be beaten down by the overwhelming cost of my age and experience. Time was I would’ve apologized profusely and bought you a new ice cream on the spot; these days I often find myself lost, alone and confused. All my friends have passed on, including my best friend and partner for 58 years, Marie. When she passed last spring, I felt what was left of my youthfulness and vigor leave me and dissipate in the air like a cold breath, hanging for a moment and then vanishing. It’s hard to wake up to an empty house, and a television doesn’t make a very passable substitute for your sole mate. Most days I clean the house and tend to my garden, like Marie would’ve liked. I’m too old to work, and spend an awful lot of time just waiting to pass on myself, in the hope that I might be with her again somewhere. I don’t like to eat out at restaurants, as eating alone is a profoundly lonely experience for me, but every once in a while I will get some fast food when I run out to the hardware store or the like. The sad truth is that I couldn’t have afforded to replace your ice cream, despite wanting to. I’m on a very fixed budget, and every measly dollar I spend makes me nervous and worried. It’s not a pleasant feeling to have worked your whole life and find yourself one day with nothing to show for it. I’m sorry I made you upset today, it was not my intention or desire to encumber a stranger with anger or grief. If I can give you any advice that might make you feel better, it’s that as the minutes roll past you unceasingly, with each one the minutia of life means less and less. If you pull back and view your moments not like small specks of paint, but as a painting, you’ll see it’s not each moment that matters but rather the whole of it, the scope of what makes you a man. Sometimes we all need a little perspective, something to show us that maybe the ice cream isn’t that important, and maybe this useless old man isn’t mean or selfish, he’s just having a hard time at it all and sometimes it’s just all too much. I wish you all the best, and God bless. | ||
