Current Events > Was i wrong in this interaction at Walmart?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Damn tc

You're not wrong but you're a prick

I wouldve politely said that Im busy on the phone.

TC has no idea what was actually going on, and has no idea whether it was important or not. It's only rude if it wasn't important. It's correct to assume it's important if someone is straight up trying to talk to you when you're on the phone. TC didn't even give them the light of day, just reverting to his grade school instincts and throwing insults at someone he thinks he's better than based on nothing. It's a logical conclusion that TC is completely in the wrong and there hasn't been a single compelling argument to the contrary. TC keeps digging himself deeper and is upset people are calling him out on his behaviour. If TC didn't want to be called out and doesn't want to accept the facts, why was the topic made? To troll?

"Can i ask you something?"

That's not a question indicative of anything important. Fair, next.

I mean, ok, he could have said "Not right now, I'm busy." I get that much. But still, you don't fucking bug someone who's on the phone with someone else. Ask someone else it it's an emergency.

TC can't prove that because he has no idea what the question was. Unfair, not next. Again, the question was whether TC was in the wrong, and he is factually in the wrong. This isn't subjective or up for debate. It was a simple yes/no question with an obvious answer anyone who isn't an asshole would acknowledge in less than a second. This is cemented by his opinion of poor people displayed ITT and prejudice towards someone he's never spoken to.

You could have just said you were busy, which would have been true since you were on the phone lol

That's one way to risk the chance of getting assaulted

It's not. Nothing that a random person will ask you in a Walmart will ever be that important.

Theres no way people in this topic are saying TC did nothing wrong.

Yall are definitely socially stunted.

Maybe she couldn't reach something on the top shelf and TC was the only person in the isle with her. So she wanted to ask if he could reach it for her.

Next time, just stand there in silence, be still, say nothing. They will walk away eventually.

TC why do you always post your morally superior opinions and causes on here but the idea of a real poor person disgusts you so much?

You keep saying this. Who the hell are you? And wtf are you talking about?

Sorry TC but you're totally a prick in the situation. If you were busy you could look her in the eyes and tell her "I'm sorry but I am busy/occupied right now" with a slight smile. Instead you were just overly hostile which made her hostile. She was polite at first.

No one has convinced me im wrong yet.

No one needs to

And you are weak pushovers as well.

Because you were the prick in the situation and you were asking for validation and didn't get it. Simple fact: Don't be an asshole to people just because they are "strangers". She asked you a question and instead of taking 5 seconds, it takes 5 seconds, to just politely say you were busy you decided to antagonize. And it's not like you were discussing anything serious on the phone, fucking burger meat and shit. Get a better attitude and stop being so god damn miserable in life. You are no better than your neighbor.

You were wrong because you had the option to:

Decline nicely.
Decline meanly.
Ignore her.

You choose the worst option possible of responding mean which either can escalate a dangerous person to harm you, or be rude to someone who may not have noticed you being on the phone (where you ON the phone or dialing out?) or someone who needed help.

In short, my sig.

See? You have no reason than to let people rudely interrupt your phone call.

My times worth more than yours and youre giving me yours now. You want to give me your time. I didnt want to give her mine so i let her know.

Oh I just noticed the "weak pushover" line that he edited out. Yeah, showing a MINOR level of fucking humanity is being a pushover. Sure, TC. Sure. "You must be sheltered" is another line you used, I live in a town that has tons and tons of beggars. Doesn't mean some lady approaching you and saying "Can I ask you a question?" which is the portrait you painted here and then you being standoffish makes you look tough, a real man. No, in fact, a real man would have treated her with some human decency instead of some obnoxious obstacle. You're clearly not in any position to profile anyone based off looks.

Fucks sake man.

5 seconds, eye contact and a polite smile is not "time". And if you consider discussion over fucking Hamburger meat so important that you cannot possibly be interrupted is madness. Just accept you were in the wrong and be kinder to people in the future. You were a prick.

This topic reads like an AITA thread on Reddit. OP clearly could've handled the situation in a different way but didn't. Then proceeds to lash out when people point out that it could've been handled with a touch more kindness.

Holy shit dude, you are pompous.

If nothing else comes from this topic, I hope the few people who actually agree you're not a piece of shit read this and adjust their behavior in the future solely by virtue of not wanting to be like you.

I like how he says his time is worth more than yours, yet he's using it to justify his shitty behavior on CE on a Tuesday afternoon. Or his time is as valuable as he thinks it is, yet he's so insecure that he feels the need to use it defending himself from a bunch of strangers. Either way, not a good look from someone calling other people "weak pushovers"

This topic is a wild one.

Awww don't be a coward, just pretend you think we're beggars.

Only thing you were "wrong" about was the "fuck you" part. But, at least you're reflecting on it, trying to get it right in the future, so, hang in there.

Honestly? I wouldn't, because you sound like a psychopath and I'd rather not end up on hooks in a meat locker somewhere.

Or at least cussed at.

So i said the right thing.

Damn, the longer this topic goes on the worse TC looks. I'm kind of doubting this entire situation happened in the first place.

I like how it started as "Gee was I wrong in this situation?"

And ended as

"Man, fuck poor people"

The really sad thing is, regardless of whether the situation in the topic happened, a ton of people obviously still think what he did was in any way appropriate.

And it got so many responses so if TC is a troll it worked too.

Oh crap! I forgot to switch accounts!

You realize your topic is literally "Was I wrong in this situation"

You're literally begging for peoples approval and now that you're not getting it, saying "I don't need your approval"

This is hilarious.

Your incredibly important phone conversation about frozen burgers and Pizza. Once again, what else made you think she was a beggar?

Murphiroth posted...

Lol cause i dont want to be close to you? Are you a beggar?

This topics fun. Like after 3 posts it might as well died but i rustled some jimmies and they keep posting.

I hope that beggar is still this mad about this.
