In Itaewon a while back, I observed a white women say something to the effect, " look at that old guy," while referring to a white haired causcasion guy.

Recently back in the states, a similiarly aged woman, make another kind of off the cuff, smart remark.

These women always seem to be safely with their boyfriend, or at least friends and they seem to be the only class doing this.

Has any one else noticed this phenomenon of loose lips in public?

Oh, by the way, how was your cab ride young lady? Did you "fly" home?

was there anything strange about this 'old guy'?

I've never seen anyone point out another person unless there was something worth looking at. Be it pleasant or unpleasant...

"Look at that old guy"?

Is that really saying anything you want?

We usually wait until people are out of earshot before we talk about them.

I could be wrong, but the old guy just seemed to be out of place...in Itaewon where most people are younger in the nightime.

Yes, most people, with manners do just that.

I was at a hockey game about 3 years ago. This tiny little girl, wearing the jersey of the opposing team, was basically trashing talking, non-stop for 3 hours. It didn't matter what was going on on the ice. TV time out, stoppage in play, intermission it didn't matter.
For 3 hours it was "Kill him! The other team sucks! hammer him into the boards! Kill him!" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ... yeah. She was about 5 foot nothing, her boyfriend was about 6'2" and looked like he could eat the seat for breakfast and shit out a tea cup. He said nothing the entire game.
Until someone finally had enough of her incessant ranting and I heard some noise and turned around to find the boyfriend and another guy trying to kill each other.

That is the sickening part of this thing...the boyfriend will ALWAYS stick up for the %$&^, no matter how far out of line she is.

He ought to see how big of a ^%$# she is , and dump her, or at least have a discussion about manners.

Probably civilized people with manners and men who would prefer the company of a women with the same and are bright enough to make this judgment. In other words, they are not thinking with their &^%$.

One thing to remember, while it's perfectly fine to vent about their behavior, you will never be able to change them. Just grin and bear it, and realize that the world is full of stupid people.

Have you ever seen the beginning of 'The Way of the Gun'? Smile

Talking smack is really easy as long as you know someone else will take the punches for you.

You didnt hear another half of the sentence she said, did you.

Look at that old guy, ______________!


I don't consider myself loose lipped, but whenever I walk in the street, either alone or with friends, I cant stop laughing at funny/weird/interesting things or people I see.......

I once saw a Korean woman wearing a T-shirt with "horney bitch" on it, I bet she had no idea what that meant, I pointed it out right away to my friend, he laughed his ass off, we bad....... Rolling Eyes

There may have been more to the comment , but does it really matter?

Go ahead, fill in your sentence with whatever you want. Lets see what would make a justified comment or more to the point, one where the *&^% would have made had she not had her boyfriend backing her up.

It seems the behavior we are talking about here is one a child, not a grown adult.

It seems odd that I have to say that part of being a grown-up is restraining oneself and not saying everything you think.

Yeah,that is a problem.

There are several times I saw my friends laughing so hard then asked them what happened, they then told me they saw something so funny 500 years ago. "Why didnt you tell me~!!!!!" " hhihihihihih~~~~"
