I was almost home riding on the side walk right next to a busy street. this was like around 6:30am so people where on their morning commute. Then I see these two senior citizens on a morning walk. I was about slow down and stear around them, when they stepped off to the side.
Right when I being polite and acknowledging their existence by smiling and waving at them. The old woman said something to me, so i stopped.
Like a land mine, a very unprovoked attack of words came spewing out of their frowning, wrinkly, liver spotted mouths. They were in may face for the fact that i was riding on the sidewalk. Being way too paranoid about a teenager on his way home from work, fearing that he might side swipe them.
As I remember this was the exchange of words.
Old woman: (didn't quite hear)
Me: (stopping) Excuse me?
Old Woman: (yelling) DON'T RIDE THAT ON THE SIDE WALK!
Me: (Confused) What? Why?
Old Woman: (Still yelling) You could hit us!
Old Man: (Yelling Too) Ride that thing on the road.
Me: (defensive) I don't want to get hit by a car, besides this is a pedestrian vehicle i have a right to ride it on the side walk. There is no law saying I can't!
Old man and Old woman: (Incoherent jabber)
After that I became really sick of the sheer lack of respect for me. So I gave them a taste of their own medicine. Not caring any more that they are like eighty years old, feeble and weak. I flat out told them to f*** off, to suck my balls, and finally move to Florida, die, and then go to hell, and as I rode off I flipped them the bird.
Frankly I don't care that they were like eighty years old, it didn't give them the right to give me such disrespect. There is no excuse to not give another human being some decent amount of respect in a situation were there weren't a source of disrespectful behavior towards them. In fact I was trying to do the opposite by being respectful, with was supposed to be a friendly "hello".
And plus I don't feel bad about it, not one bit. I hate these old people who think they can yell at any one younger than 30, act like they own the world all because they were on this planet longer than any one else.
To them I say....
DO US ALL A BIG FAVOR AND KILL OVER ALREADY!!
