Filter? What filter? I’m not interested in winning a popularity contest. The Mrs. and I were out to dinner with friends earlier tonight. A group of 4 or 5 man buns came in and were extremely loud and annoying and disrupting everyone’s dinner. I asked our server to have the manager calm them down a bit. Nothing. No response, so I decided to take care of it myself. I had a few choice words with them and one guy in particular was over the top even though they all turned down the volume. We finished our dinner and for some reason he was outside when we left. He approached me with a major attitude “demanding” respect. I told him he’d get my f’n respect when he earned it. Then the punk tells me you don’t know who I am. I told him I know exactly who you are; you’re an insignificant arrogant egotistical asshole. Things started to escalate so I gave him the look and reminded him never underestimate an old Marine; there’s a reason we’re old and on top of that I’ve got a pain threshold higher than anyone I’ve ever met. The Mrs. could see that look in my eye. He backed off when he heard her say to our friends; ah damn now we’re going to have to hang around while they try to identify this guy. You go on ahead and we’ll catch up in an hour or so. Every now and then I decide I’ve had enough and let things take it’s course.
