I wish they would come right out and say it. I find confrontation very easy to deal with. One thing is for sure, they wouldn't say it again because I'm not the sort of guy who suffers fools gladly, and I can out-menace pretty much anyone - when I'm angry I won't back down from anyone and I've faced down people twice my size. The biggest part of the problem for me is not being sure that they're idiots. If they would just say what's on their minds we could sort out their problems.

When you go to the store, all the people unashamedly stare at you like you're a space alien, and dangerous...not one or two not-so-bright peoploe...ALL the people.
Hehe, I had that yesterday. I went into my local liquor store to buy some beer and the clerk started staring and whispering to her coworker, then she actually looked out the window to check what sort of car I was driving - as if that would clue her in on what was going on, LOL. I just smiled and acted as if nothing odd was happening, but I felt like the guy in the movie 'The Station Agent' when he goes to the grocery store.

When you go to a restaurant or a pub, they won't serve you. So you go to another one and they won't serve you there, either.
I haven't had that happen yet. If that happens, there will be pub/restaurant staff who will become acquainted with my temper, and they will surely regret it, LOL.
