I waited until he got out and I asked him "No mask?" to which he replied "Why?" and I said "The sign says No Mask, No Service" (and everybody else was wearing one) and this asshole replies "I wasn't buying anything." I laughed at him and drove off.
And you're so proud of that interaction that you are posting it in a comment on HN right now?
For all you know the officer was called into the store for an urgent matter.
Be kind to others, and you'll lead a much happier and fulfilling life.
Yep. It's not a personal choice though... it's well-known that wearing masks prevents the spread of disease.
How is it that you are ignorant of this fact?
> And you're so proud of that interaction that you are posting it in a comment on HN right now?
That's what you got out of that?? Okay...
You seem to be having trouble differentiating a plain description of a brief interaction with a cop who was clearly in the wrong with "pride".
> For all you know the officer was called into the store for an urgent matter.
Too urgent to take 2 seconds to put a mask on for everybody's safety???? When he wasn't running into the store? That's not urgent...
Sorry buddy, but you're clearly wrong. Perhaps you should re-think your position.
> Mind your own business, be kind to others, and you'll lead a much happier and fulfilling life.
I'm white, I live in a great neighborhood, I got a huge house, a pool, a boat, 3 cars, my job is very fulfilling, I make 6 figures working full-time from home doing something I love... my family is wonderful, I have hobbies, friends, I travel... thanks for your concern, but I'm not sure how much happier I can get, lol ;)
I'm honestly doing so well and my life is so easy that I feel guilty at times.
Sorry that you got triggered by this. Perhaps you should consider taking your own advice? Please do... thanks.
Obviously you know you were in the wrong, which is why you just wrote so much defending your position. So I'll leave it at that.
Enjoy your huge house and 3 cars. I am glad that they make you happy.
My state has also mandated that everybody wears masks in public places, so it's actually against the law right now...
Care to keep going? I'll be right here...
Mostly I enjoy having a nice conversation. Thanks so much for making this a pleasant one.
You listed primarily material things that make you happy which made me feel poorly for you.
Laughing at and judging total strangers then bragging about it on the internet though... my bad... you sound like a real nice wholesome human being!
Maybe you'll feel even better if you call 2 random strangers an asshole on the internet tomorrow, or 4?!
Good luck! You're gonna need it!
You're just focusing on the material things because you want to think bad things about me, since you're quite obviously a miserable person and you want everybody to feel that way.
Not gonna happen friend :) It's too nice of a day today!
> Laughing at and judging total strangers then bragging about it on the internet though...
Cops are public figures. Bragging did not happen, an interaction was plainly described. You can keep trying to twist it... enjoying your downvotes I guess?
You almost ended on a pretty good note, but I see that not having the last word is going to be a challenge for you...
Honestly, I have no problem continuing to respond to your delusional comments in an effort to help you adjust your ego and your incorrect views. I'll check back in a few hours.
(EDIT: I'm just wondering - as such a good wholesome, moral person as you are - is this what you call "minding your own business"?? Trying to ram your opinion down some random persons throat? For 2 days?? As I ponder this... yes, I laugh - that's a given when confronted with such a high level of neuroticism, but I'm also actually thankful for all the entertainment that you've provided to me.)
