That would have been fine, imo. At least I think so.
But given the follow up with how the crowd reacted, maybe not.
Itâs pretty offensive imo, objectifying this chick in front of a room of people, but on top of that the delivery fell flat in a you had to be there way. Weâve all botched joke attempts in horrible ways before so I donât think the guy is necessarily a bad guy, but it was uncomfortable.
Any real comic just got license to go to town. Dream response.

Something snappier like âThatâs a lot of words for âNot anymoreââ might have made it almost seem like something you could even laugh at. Agree it reads more like ineptitude than anything else, trying to be funny and bantsy and faceplanting about as hard as itâs possible to.
I assume the MC knows his business and read the woman as likely to react well to the clapping. A lot of people would want the spotlight off them immediately in that spot, no matter what.

I saw this headline the other day and without clicking the article Terryville was the 3rd town I thought of that would have that flag proudly hanging. That whole Rt8 corridor is just chock full of whole towns like that.
Imagine being able to go to a live comedy show!

I need a ruling here.
Got into a thing at Walmart last night.
I was driving through the parking lot, admittedly a bit fast, and woman on her phone not looking walks right in front of me so I honk to make her look up. She does and continues. She then waits for me at door for like 5 min while I park and when I walk in she gets right in my face and starts telling me how bad I drive, in a raised voice. So I tell her to fuck off and walk past her and carry on. She runs over to take a photo of my plate.
Like I said, I admit I was going a bit fast and I could have avoided saying fuck you and just walked past but whatâs the ruling.
Am I the asshole here or her? I am thinking itâs her 75 and me 25%?
Sorry, yes you are.
I remember speeding through London on the way to work very early in the morning many years ago on an empty road, and not seeing a couple crossing in front of me, who rightly berated me as I passed.
Didnât do that again.
Speed limits are usually there for a good reason.

On the main road part of a parking lot, who has right of way; cars or pedestrians? I suspect this will differ by country but here it seems clear itâs cars. If it was the main parking area I think I would for sure be the asshole. That said, you have to cross this part to access the store which makes it fuzzier.
For sure I shouldnât have been speeding but she seemed most pissed I honked at her. It was for her own safety so she would look up.
I mostly wish I hadnât said âfuck offâ as that was the most out of bounds part but she caught me off guard waiting for me and getting in my face to fast.
Mostly you. The default should be to drive too slow in a parking lot. Oblivious pedestrians and drivers everywhere. You should have apologized and moved on.
Karen shouldnât have reacted the way she did - a facial expression would have done it - and you shouldnât have told her to fuck off, so thereâs a lot of fault on both sides but no harm done anyway.

This is my read too.
I am also super confused what she thinks she is going to do with my license plate photo.
Youâre speeding with a 3000 pound block of metal and sheâs the ass?

You should not have beeped or cursed at her, but generally to hell with people on their phones in high traffic areas.
I almost slaughtered some jogger once while driving down Central Park West when he darted out from behind parked car. I scared the carp out of him and he immediately started yelling. My first thought was to apologize but a upon a nanosecond worth of reflection, I realized he was wearing all black, it was dark, and had the phone strapped to the arm with the buds in his ears. I wasnât speeding as I was looking for a space to park.
So I yelled back at how great he looked, the running was really working, black was super slimming, and the Arianna Grande was an excellent choice. He kept going.
Cliffs: donât beep or swear and make their behavior the problem if you must get into a confrontation.

I was using the horn as a courtesy in my mind so she would look up and avoid being hit by me or the other traffic. She read it same as you as an aggressive move which is interesting since it wasnt meant that way but shows how any message can be assumed from a signal so low in content.
Grunch: youâre the asshole. Slow the fuck down, and stop for pedestrians.
