What is it with these fucking people?So yesterday I am at a local watering (stink) hole, which I generally like, so I won't blaspheme its name here. I strike up conversation with another wayward drunk, and after discussing the A's for a few moments, the following goes down:
Guy: So what are you, anyway?Me: What do you mean?
Guy: Like German or what?Me: Oh, I'm Italian, Spanish, and Russian.
Guy: What percent?Me: Half Italian, quarter each Russian and Spanish.
Guy: Oh, so you're not a REAL Italian.What the fuck is that all about? I mean, I'm all for shitting on Irish people and stuff like that, but they make it easy by readily identifying themselves with stupid t-shirts and dumb shamrock tatoos. But I think there's something wrong when you have to ask someone what their ethnic makeup is so you can insult them about it. And, for the record, I don't consider myself Italian, and certainly don't look Italian. So I'm not a real Italian, you stupid fuck. You win.
As I was leaving, the guy also told me
"I'm going to see Star Wars again tonight, are you booking?" Maybe he was just crazy.
Fuck him.
