Story time: angry men
25F Want to preface this by saying I am a very non-confrontational person on the daily. I try to keep to myself for the most part, I truly try not to leave the house other than work.
My boyfriend and I had just ended at Medieval Times which was located in the mall where we were at. I was wearing a light up flower crown and we both had three flags because we grabbed others when they left them behind.
My boyfriend had dropped his flags so I turned around to help him get his stuff together. As he was picking up his flags, some dude in his 40s or 50s said “hey you dropped your flags”
Naturally, I shot back with a “no shit brother” because I was not going to let someone BULLY my man in public.
This absolute SNOWFLAKE of a man got so angry that I had the AUDACITY as a WOMAN to say something.
He then said “I should beat your ass” and I said “do it pussy” as we were both walking away from each other.
He then said to my man “why don’t you control your bitch”.
A woman sticking up for her man? Impossible. I stared him down as I backed away from him the opposite way down the mall.
This man then almost ran after us in the mall when my boyfriend’s friend flipped him off when he was still staring at us.
I think he forgot he was the one who HAD to say something.
Anyway thanks for reading. Rant over. I am done leaving the house.
First photo is of me in one of the light up crowns and two is the lady with the falcon at the show! Very cool show 10/10 recommend but also…never leaving the house again ok byyyyeeeee
