Erm, I sort of see where you're coming from, but you basically yelled at a dude who said your clothes look good and that's crap. Plus, even if he was the kind the person you thought he is, why bother?

I dunno Barry. It is sort of a distinctive look.

Yeah, Cunt is right. I understand that you were irritated by this encounter for understandable reasons, but the guy meant it as a compliment and in his mind, he was doing something good and trying to be nice to a fellow concert goer.

I do understand what irked you, though and I don't blame you for getting pissy with the guy, though I do think it was probably uncalled for in the grand scheme of things. This happens to me with great frequency because I'm a girl and therefore it's seen as even more acceptable to comment on my "look," and depending on the compliment-er, I am oft tempted to rail on them for being a shallow dipshitted poseur and to get the hell out of my "damaged 1930s movie star" face (or whatever they say my "look" is like).

Next time, just say something snarky in response, like, "oh, I didn't realize that sincerity and non-phoniness was in style these days." Then walk away.

You overreacted.

I think you'd have done your heart and your head a favour by tossing him a dismissive thank you and been on your way. If you're still thinking about it, I'd hazard that you know you reacted the wrong way.

Still, let's hope that the kid took a little something from it too, and throws out his day-glo nu-rave wear.

Yeah, you overreacted. But then you are the PRF's Mr. Angry.
He did seem a total ballbag, but he's still gonna stay a total ballbag.

I dunno... where I work (Brick Lane) you see so many of these vacuous little cunts- their film choices mostly reflecting their character. I just have to let it wash over me. Better things to get angry about. Having said that, once I was confronted by an army of the dayglo cunts coming out of St. Matthews Church at about 6 in the morning and the sight of that many of em made me throw up violently. I was a whole bottle of appletons deep, but I understand that kind of reaction.

Totally out of order. Regardless of how you rationalised being able to get angry at the kid for what could only have been a compliment, repeatedly shouting at the kid who is visibly confused and totally in the dark to fuck off in an agressive and public manner was an asshole thing to do.
Your friend is totally justified in being pissed at you.

But now you know, and you can avoid it next time!

I think lately that perhaps the PRF could use an anger management thread/discussion.

I was just about to hit the search button & post this.....until

i'm torn. while i definitely would have said something rude/funny back to the person, i wouldn't have persisted in the "fuck off you fucking fuck" vein. hmm.
