Why are people so aggressive

FandyienFandyien But Otto, what about us? Registered User regular
edited February 2009 in Social Entropy++
I have been pondering this all morning

Last night my friend and I were wandering around on acid looking at pretty things and just dicking around. This guy behind us on the sidewalk goes "WHATS UP DUDE" so we turn around and engage him in conversation

We're super polite, all "what have you been up to dude how are you feeling whats up man hey hey" and he answered very noncomitally and confusedly and weirdly for a minute, and we start to walk away feeling like we just made a friend

Then as we're walking away he yells "YEAH FUCK YOU TOO YOU HORRIBLE PIECES OF SHIT" and started screaming obscenities at our backs. So I yell "OH SNAP" and my friend screams "OH CRACKLE" and we start yelling SNAP CRACKLE POP at this randomly angry guy, which incenses the shit out of him and he starts walking towards us acting like he's gonna kick our asses

I have never been a street fight because I don't understand how they happen

I guess him getting close and bucking should have precipitated a reaction other then us being all WAIT MAN LETS TALK ABOUT RICE CRISPIES CEREAL but shit

Was that some erratic behavior on that guys part or what

Why are people crazy

    one time at a show a guy started pushing me and doing the "I want you to hit me as hard as you can" thing

    so I did

    what was surprising to me is that nobody tried to help him up or stop me or call the cops or anything, despite having no understanding of the situation

    it was weird

    Not what I was refering too at all!

    Maybe he had an important question and you dissed him by walking away before the conversation was over.

    Or maybe you should just stop doing all those drugs.

    There was this young man trying to get gas money from me, but I don't have cash so I offer to pay at the pump with my card. Turns out he is just trying to hustle me for some money, as we argue about whether he is lying or not he starts to get all fidgity in his pocket.

    Then I am like, fuck, I hope he doesn't pull out a knife.

    So I start getting all fidgity in my pocket, then we went our separate ways.

    Really we were both playing pocket pool.

    I was never in a fight or had an other person even act aggressive towards me, although I have hung around with pretty shady people.

    I guess most bullies/jerks don't think it's worth the effort.

    When we serve prime rib we cut it, it's like a loaf of meat. I don't see anyone could eat several. Was it baby prime rib?

    usually I'm just all "here you go dogg have a nice night"

    but if it's just me I usually pretend I have my hand on a knife or something
