I was once reading a book in a park and a dude passed by with a girl and said, "Reading some Shakespeare?" and he and the girl laughed and kept walking. I said nothing as I tried to understand the apparent putdown. I wasn't reading Shakespeare.

WTF was this...? Like drive-by anti-intellectualism? I think I was reading a hardcover copy of Inherent Vice with the jacket off, so it looked pretty nondescript. Did he think I was making a spectacle of myself by reading on a park bench...if so, that's fucking ridiculous.

Maybe others might have had a witty rejoinder at the ready, but I was too baffled, and besides, I don't consider it a good idea to talk back to rude strangers unless absolutely necessary.

Why has this memory stuck with me after all these years? I don't know! It was such a beautiful day, I was on the bench reading, and all was well, and suddenly I'm the object of someone's incoherent joke...

I guess reading in public was too obvious a demonstration of readerly habits for this insecure fellow and his friend?

It came from a place of insecurity. He probably doesn't read and feels kind of bad about it. He needed to make sure his girlfriend didn't think you were a more suitable mate. His joke was kinda clever and there was nothing malicious about it. The best scenario would have you laughing along with them.

Young people can be kind of unintentionally (or intentionally) rude because of how cocky they are, especially if they're with friends or girlfriend. They just like to interact with random people in a slightly humorous spirit.

It doesn't mean anything in itself. But it's entirely possible that youth thought reading reading is nerdy, but even if that were the case I wouldn't take it personally. Next time just try replying in a friendly comedic spirit, even if you only tell him what book it really is what matters is the way that you say it and are in fact saying replying.

He was doing it to show off to the girl.

You should’ve replied:
>Problem, bitch?

Now his attempt at negging you has back fired. He needs to either get one up on you again, or he will retreat and lose face (which will mean his girl will lose respect for him - yes, that’s how these people’s brains work).
Assuming he tries to one up you again, you can escalate to physical confrontation if you are bigger or if you have less to lose.

He was looking for a weak target to bully to impress his girl but now he’s found himself in a situation that he wasn’t prepared for. He will probably end up retreating and his girl will think he’s pathetic for getting beat off by a book-reading nerd.

What do we do about these niggers? As a black man I am surrounded by niggers 24/7 and find it so hard to avoid punching them when they say something gay; which is whenever most of them open their mouths.

I'm generalizing I know, Italian and Irish niggers aren't so bad, but it's these Anglo-German niggers who are the worst. If I woke up with a gay voice and a sociopathic mental disorder and had to walk around looking like them with ugly pink faces I'd kill myself. I don't understand how more of them don't.

>>20819854
>and the girl laughed and kept walking.
Nigger girls do this all the time when they're with black people; often they're just bemused by the absurd statement and laugh out of embarrassment.

I bet if you'd cracked him over the head with a rock or kicked the back of his knee to floor him and brought your book down on the back of his neck, and said something shakespeare-like, that she'd have gone home with you.

The way I look at it is that these kind of boys are basically bringing the girls around to see if other men want to take them off their hands. That's what I think anyway.

The guy was probably drowning and needed you to keep his head above water. When you’re with a girl and you need to keep the mood going, you sometimes bust out any old schtick. The daring nature of interrupting someone reading (something a girl wouldn’t do so rudely), was a thrill to her and the joke didn’t matter—it was quite simply that you obviously (to them) weren’t reading Shakespeare, why would you be?
You were used like a prop, an extra in their little date montage. Don’t worry, it was literally nothing personal.

Some people like to take digs at others to take the attention away from themselves. It could've been because he felt he wasn't entertaining enough for her so he deflected the focus onto you, or it's just within his character to mog others.

You also have to consider that not many people read in public (excluding public transportation) so it's seen as asocial behavior. That makes you a pretty easy target for an effortless joke.


There was no appropriate witty reply imo. Their joke was actually retarded. Why even dignify it with a response? You accidentally did the best thing you could've done imo. If you really care about getting back at people like this, just tuck away a simple "go fuck yourself" for next time.

I think it's normal to remember moments like this where someone upset you. I personally try to find answers because understanding is a part of acceptance to me.

Their hatred of literature is merited. I consider myself very /lit/ but I haven't read a book in years. There's not really much time to do so if you work full time and reading in your spare time is a literal cope. It's not going to do anything for me. Just wastes time. If I didn't need to work it would be another story but such is life for most people.

They guy was with a bitch - that's all you need to know to understand his motives.
You put a premenopausal bitch in the middle of an all male group and they'll turn into paleolithic niggers faster than you can snap your fingers to impress and gain access to the bitch's putrid malevolent void.
I highly suspect it was either a nigger or a contemporary Russian, which is the same as a nigger in Platonic psychospiritual terms. Both groups are genetically prone to embarrassing bystanders if there's some form of vagina nearby.

Imagine some incel saying that he doesn't have a girlfriend because he couldn't afford to fuck her 24/7, since he also has to get groceries, sleep, brush his teeth, go to the dentist etc., and if his dick gets dry for even ten minutes, what is even the point of being in a relationship.

In my mind I'm thinking I would close the book and run to catch up even though I'd look stupid. I would want to confront him and ask him what his purpose was. Ask him to his face if it was "drive-by anti-intellectualism". I guess they'd probably laugh at me though, and I'd either have to resort to violence, flee with my tail between my legs, or still leave but call him a retard or any applicable racial slur.

Based. Even Benjamin Franklin knew that nigger behaviour ought not to be engaged in.

>He had some Reason for loving to dispute, being eloquent, an acute Sophister, and therefore generally successful in argumentative Conversation. He had been brought up to it from a Boy, his Father (as I have heard) accustoming his Children to dispute with one another for his Diversion while sitting at Table after Dinner. But I think the Practice was not wise, for in the Course of my Observation, these disputing, contradicting & confuting People are generally unfortunate in their Affairs. They get Victory sometimes, but they never get Good Will, which would be of more use to them. We parted, he going to Philadelphia, and I to Boston. In returning, I met at New York with the Votes of the Assembly, by which it appear’d that notwithstanding his Promise to me, he and the House were already in high Contention, and it was a continual Battle between them, as long as he retain’d the Government. I had my Share of it; for as soon as I got back to my Seat in the Assembly, I was put on every Committee for answering his Speeches and Messages, and by the Committees always desired to make the Drafts. Our Answers as well as his Messages were often tart, and sometimes indecently abusive. And as he knew I wrote for the Assembly, one might have imagined that when we met we could hardly avoid cutting Throats. But he was so good-natur’d a Man, that no personal Difference between him and me was occasion’d by the Contest, and we often din’d together. One Afternoon in the height of this public quarrel, we met in the Street. “Franklin, says he, you must go home with me and spend the Evening. I am to have some Company that you will like;” and taking me by the Arm he led me to his House. In gay Conversation over our Wine after Supper he told us Jokingly that he much admir’d the Idea of Sancho Panza, who when it was propos’d to give him a Government, requested it might be a Government of Blacks, as then, if he could not agree with his People he might sell them. One of his Friends who sat next me, says, “Franklin, why do you continue to side with these damn’d Quakers? Had not you better sell them? the Proprietor would give you a good Price.” The Governor, says I, has not yet black’d them enough. He had indeed labour’d hard to blacken the Assembly in all his Messages, but they wip’d off his Colouring as fast as he laid it on, and plac’d it in return thick upon his own Face; so that finding he was likely to be negrify’d himself, he as well as Mr Hamilton, grew tir’d of the Contest, and quitted the Government.

Doesn't translate at all. The mother and the baby care for each other, the mother is pained and is actively restraining herself for the two little minutes required in the experiment (it's obvious on her face). The chad proving himself to his woman by making fun of a beta is taking her on a journey, all well-conducted dates have a superficial feeling of "adventure", or at least of moving from one place to the next so that the parties feel like they are "going through something together" in rapid motion. The mother and the baby are there, together with each other, emotionally invested with each other in the room. The chad on his date passing the beta by has no emotional investment in the man he steps on.

It wouldnt be the first time I'd demand a blowjob as a form of apology from that guy's girlfriend, probably wouldnt be the last time either.

Spending 8 years in French Foreign Legion changed my brain. I dont feel correctly if I dont jog 100+ km a week, and dont bench 150 kilos 3 to 4 times a week. Its like not brushing my teeth. But just like you brush your teeth so you can use them, its the same with your body, and other tools you own.
Awareness is important. There is a reason they make you do over a million counter ambush drills. Your brain automatically scans areas from there on. You automatically see from where it would be the best to open fire. Where would be the best cover. Where you should shout for machinegun section to go set up, which rifle grenadier should be the fire element and which ones should maneuver, what are requirements for establishing fire superiority at 300 meters, at 600 meters, etc.
There are no such things in civilian world. But there are cameras. Cellphones. Policemen. Witnesses.
My brain is finding these things automatically.

If I was sitting in the park and reading, I automatically sit in the spot where junkie trying to rob me gets robbed himself instead. If a random thug walking his cumslut insulted me in this park, he would be covered in blood and his cumslut covered in cum. Depending on the witnesses, how public the area is, are both of them on foot and with phones in their hands or on the ground and unable to call for help, etc.
