I liked the part where he did not come back into the restaurant and start shooting people.

Too many nut cakes out there. To be safe I just figure every unhinged angry dude like the guy you describe is armed.

So the take away from this is people from Texas don't understand basic concepts like lines. It's pretty basic, if you want service you stand in front of a register. They don't take numbers at Arby's. I think thats because of Icky Woods.

To avoid the thread being longer i omitted much of the crap being said back and forth. Literally the guy stood waiting for his food talking smack for like 5 minutes. I'm a little guy but there is no way I'm going to stand by and let him try to intimidate some women. I can assure you we all got a kick out of it after he left.


Not sure why your weener size is pertinent.

:pwink:

Seriously, though, although it's not the intent of the thread, I don't think I've seen it yet...thanks for doing the right thing, yourself. Especially in the face of dooshbaggery, too many choose to be silent and let dumb **** happen.

There were so many things I wanted to say but knew they would fall on deaf ears so we just told him to leave. I'm pretty sure he was getting at us voting for Obama, gay marriage etc. That was kind of the tone I got from it.

SoI'm in Osceola on Monday for a funeral and head to Arby's for lunch. We were 2nd in line and had to wait like 5 minutes for someone to help us. There was a mother-daughter in front of us and a couple people standing waiting for their food (or so we all thought). When the lady behind the counter says she will help who ever is next the mother-daughter step to the register.

At that time the male standing off to the side aggressively yells "maybe you didn't see us standing here. Who the hell do you think you are?" He then approaches the two women like he is going to throw punches.
So I say "hey, watch the attitude, buddy".
Him- "you don't like my attitude?"
Me- "nobody likes your attitude."
Him (to his wife)- "oh I forgot. We are in the land of cowards."
At this point the two women, my mom and myself are like "**** you, buddy."
He continued to try to instigate a fight. We just tell him to get his food and hit the road. He continues to call iowa the land of cowards (probably 7 times total) while yelling at 3 women and a guy half his size.
I finally say "go back to wherever you are from and tell your friends never to come here. You aren't welcome."
He is still talking shot as he walks out and his feeble wife mouths "i'm so sorry" as she leaves.
He and his wife hop in a car with Texas plates and hop on I 35. As he drives off he has a gunrack in his back window with his most prized possessions on display for the cowards to fear.
Apparently they don't think too kindly of Iowa in the (self-proclaimed) great state of Texas.
Anyhow, just thought I'd share this with my fellow cowards. Whatever that means???

Wow. Dude is a stereotypical loony DBag. Good job on standing up to him. What a tool.

Dude probably has a decades-old chip on his shoulder ever since his first grade teacher mentioned that nobody from Iowa came to help defend the Alamo.

Good job outta you, redman. Apparently you ARE a bigger dude than he was.

The Alamo is a 6th grade lesson. It's near the end of their formal studies.
