When the raggedy old guy acting up surprises you
Re: When the raggedy old guy acting up surprises you
It gives you a sense of comfort to mentally place people in "groups" doesn't it? Then you know where everyone's place is and you can react to them and judge them accordingly.
That's pretty sad, IraHayes.
People are complex animals and there is an infinite number of possibilities that could have contributed to this guy muttering to himself, causing you to get so flustered that you felt compelled to create a thread on CEO dedicated to it.
He could be going through a contentious divorce
His could have a troubled son in jail
There could have been a death in his family and he is going through vicious probate hearings with his estranged sister.
He may be dealing with an idiotic business partner
Or
He may be a "nutter" with a nice car, like you described.
The fact that you see fit to judge and categorize people so swiftly says a lot more about you than it does about some guy having a bad day.
People with attitudes like you Ira perpetuate more suffering in this world..........a little more compassion, grace and understanding do more for our society than being snide c@nts who avoid eye contact and then scurry home to virtue signal to a bunch of strangers on the internet.

Calm down Brody, While you jumping on Ira for judging and categorising people, you are doing exactly the same by categorising Ira 's attitude.Brody wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:38 amIt gives you a sense of comfort to mentally place people in "groups" doesn't it?

Let's all get back to attacking the message and not attacking the messenger .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: When the raggedy old guy acting up surprises you
Mis named topic. Should read...
"When a whole bunch of ragedy old men act up on CEO it should not surprise anybody. Better get used to it!"
lol
But i for one promise to try harder to keep all your poxy old personalities out of it - and stick to no holds barred attacks on your flocking criminally-ridiculous opinions about the issue at hand.
Well, i'm trying...

Re: When the raggedy old guy acting up surprises you
if ur judging people by the way they dress, i feel sorry for you.
I lived and worked in Aspen Colorado for 4 winters and knew/meet lots of filthy rich people, none felt the need to dress to impress
as long as my clothes are washed and i dont smell... i am good to go...

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Any time I've been there most of the guests were dressed quite casually. Not many were mumbling to themselves or dribbling though.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

However, there have been plenty of well off guys who go unkempt and mutter to themselves, Howard Hughes being the richest one I can think of.
From the OP description here was an older guy muttering to himself, was he swearing? shouting? maybe he was rehearsing his shopping bill in his head or replaying that mornings conversation with his wife, except in this version he won the argument with a clever one line. Maybe he was at a comfortable stage in life when he didn't care what people thought of him.

Shit, maybe he was just talking on the phone. The OP was trying not to look at him in case he became crazy too, so who knows, lol.
Strange thread. Everyone can have off days. Live and let live.
