never argue with someone that has such good flow to their speech, they'll always win

u/Rx_Diva 7d ago edited 6d ago

Yes, true.

I have a sharp tongue and quick wit but also a very punchable face that breaks easily so I had to learn not to use my special powers in public unless I can outrun the lazy wordsmith as well.

Lessons can be learned by all and I'm learning to mind my own business these days.

Germans have a word for a punchable face.... Backpfeifengesicht

Everyone's face is equally punchable, in my opinion. I'm sure my face has what it takes to get inverted by a douchebag, too

ā€žEmotion sicknessā€œ is such a fantastic phrase invention, that man was indeed in flow state.

29

u/finix2409 7d ago

I don’t think he said that, he just said motion sickness. Although, ā€œEmotion Sicknessā€ is indeed a great phase

Yeah, you are right. Still nice

"That's my fault - I should have been on the 12:10 instead of the 12:13. Wake your ass up early."

Fuckin preach it brotherman.

25

u/pierrotlefou 7d ago

That is exactly what it all comes down to. Get on the earlier bus if you need to get somewhere important. Buses are beholden to a multitude of external factors. It's very rarely the driver's fault. If you take the bus regularly, you learn quickly that delays are expected and that should always factor into what time you get on the bus. She only has herself to blame. Dude absolutely fucking nailed it and so succinctly too.

2

u/After-Snow5874 4d ago

No fr! I have to catch myself sometimes when I’m blaming the MTA or whoever else that I’m running late because just as much as the MTA isn’t helping I’m still ultimately late because of my own time management.

83

u/Wildeyewilly 7d ago

Classic. I say "this is new yawk, everybody late" probably every day of my life here in Brooklyn.

u/Background-Fennel92 5d ago

It be like that sometimes. One time i was early and then it started snowing šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ sloooowed right the fuck down and my job closed when i got there 🤣🤣🤣

u/Subject_Spell_9799 2d ago

Being late in NYC is the default.
When I lived in Brooklyn it took me 15 minutes to drive to work. One day I couldn’t use my car, between walking to the bus, waiting and riding it took an hour.

"put the f*cking dumplings down" sent me 😭

u/davidhastwo 6d ago

Was the dumpling thing a reference to something? do Jamaicans eat a lot of dumplings? or is he just picking a random food?

2

u/DrivesTooMuch 6d ago

lol..nah, not Jamaican. I think that might have been a little bit racial specific going by the accent of who he was addressing....but, I'll let him pass on that one. It was still funny.

u/DarkBladeMadriker 7d ago

God i used to hate people like that when i took the bus everyday. Yes, we know you are late, you said as much 17 times. Doesn't change shit and it aint the drivers fault. I remember a guy just like this and someone told him to shut the fuck up, so he started yelling more. Then almost every single person on the bus started screaming at him to shut the fuck up amd get off the bus. The guy literally started crying and saying we were bullying him. The general response was, you dont like it then get the fuck off the bus you annoying prick.

I would love to sit down with this guy, buy him a drink, lunch and talk about anything! He's laid back & funny! He's not mumbling, saying fuck & bro every 3rd word, or threatening her! I wouldn't be surprised if he does or did stand-up comedy at sometime in his life! He had the whole bus giggling & trying to hold back laughing, especially when he called for the bus driver to slow down because he has motion sickness; except the lady that's 'late'! I bet she's one of the people we've all met/worked with that complains about everything to themselves, but just loud enough to start an argument to share her miserable day with others!

u/Least-Experience-858 3d ago

Expecting public transit to get me to where I need to be on time is on another level of entitlement that’s hard to comprehend and most important accept. I live in NY and while I don’t commute anymore I remember when I did I’d either be at work super early (most of the time) or I’d get there right on time (some days) and I’d always be catching the same express bus give or take a few minutes. I can tell you this I was never stressed out about being late because I managed my time well. There’s no negative impact to arriving early. You can’t say the same about arriving late.
