I find the random cruelty of people who have no patience with basic human frailty infuriating. EVERYBODY is going to have something to deal with at some point - you just don't know when or what. Period.
I have far too many real life examples to throw at them should someone pop off with 'undeserved privilege' crap. (Oh, my favorite is the the guy using a handicapped space with credentials, but nobody can guess the reason by looking - we'll use that one.)
I tell. Oh baby, I TELL. I can ruin a beautiful Saturday afternoon in less than twenty words, and I'll waste fifty on an asshole who can decide by looking who gets help and who gets bupkis and pissing on. Total strangers on the street. Yes, I will.
(I'm not too sure why someone hasn't clocked me either. Maybe Cliff was right - being crazy IS a good defense.)
My inner-ear does not allow me roller coasters, either. Let's go win some plushies at the ring toss instead.
