Rant about stupid rich old white bytches

Post Reply New Topic

So I live in kind of a wealthy area cos it's close to the lake. I always walk my dog every day along the lakeshore road, which is lined on one side with million-dollar homes and on the other side is the rocky shore of the lake itself, with docks and boats and stuff. There's only a tiny strip of grass between this road and the water's edge, maybe just a few feet wide in most places.

So today I was walking my dog as usual, and it was a really hot sunny humid day so I was forced to take shelter in the bits of shade at the side of the road from time to time to avoid heat-stroke. I'd just sit down there for a few minutes, cool off, and keep on walking.

At one of these shady spots I was just sitting there, right by the road's edge, minding my own business. All of a sudden this deranged old woman around age 60 comes out of one of the million-dollar homes along the other side and heads towards me. From across the road she yells at me, "Do you know this is private property?"

Well I really didn't feel like getting in a fight with some batty stranger over property rights versus the need to shelter from the sun beside a public thoroughfare, so I just ignored her and said nothing, didn't even look her way, hoping she would just go away.

But no, she comes even closer and yells the same thing even louder; I guess she thought my problem was in not hearing her screeching the first time around. I thought of a few choice things I could say to her, but I controlled my temper and again said nothing and did not look her way, wishing she'd just go and polish her diamonds or something.

So she comes almost right up to me and of course screeches her message even louder. But I was determined not to respond in any way, figuring anything I'd say would only prolong this stupid and pointless encounter. So she goes, "Oh is that the way you're going to be! We will see about that, I am going to call the police!! !" and with that she, thankfully, storms off back into her mansion.

I almost did yell back, "Make sure you dial 9-1-1 so that the ambulance and fire truck can also come rushing to the scene of the crime!" -- but I really did withhold my comment with utmost exercise of my willpower. And of course I obviously had my dog on a leash so it was apparent to anyone that I was just a local resident out walking peacefully and had not planted myself on that bit of grass for any long period of time.

I kinda laughed to myself as I went on my way, imagining if she had really called the police. It would go something like this, I imagine:

Batty old bytch: "Help, police! Emergency! Please come as soon as you can: there is a woman SITTING ON THE GRASS!! !"

Police: "Hmm, really. Okay, we will check out the situation.....when we get around to it.....oops, I mean, it's of the highest importance to this police force to make sure nobody sits unlawfully on anybody else's grass."

I'm glad I'm not rich if that's what I turn into...

Like, you have enough property as it is, who cares if someone sits on a small amount of it? And temporarily too!

I really think you should've told her that you were n't going to be there long.

But still, the greed of some people...

You have such restraint! *admires*

That's pretty silly, but she was right.

Well actually it wasn't even her property. She came over from several houses down the road from where I was sitting.

I wonder if she sits looking out her picture window all the time in order to protect her neighbours' 5 ft x 8 ft "property" from nefarious strangers who might illegally sit down on it for a minute.

What a f*cking psycho!

There's no way I could have exercised the restraint you showed, she would have definitely gotten the worst words I could muster.

Having said that, I don't believe it has anything to do with being rich. I used to live in a very wealthy neighborhood and there were some unbelievably nice people there who really changed the way I thought about "rich" people - there seemed to be a noticeable difference between "old" (inherited) vs "new" (earned) money though.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't discourage you from going there again - I would do it just to piss the old bat off...

What difference did you discover between "old" and "new" wealthy people?

When I used to canvass door to door for charity, it was inevitable that being in wealthy neighborhoods you'd get mostly nothing except run off their property. Whereas if you were canvassing a very poor neighborhood, the poverty-stricken people would almost always give you $10 that they obviously could not really afford, and they'd even bring you a drink if it was hot out. The more wealthy the homes, the nastier you would be treated by the homeowners.

what's up with the skin colour reference

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to point this out. Given the politically correct thread here at the moment especially. It hit me when I first saw the title of this thread.

'Rant about stupid rich old black bytches' might have got a reaction sooner.

Of course my mother, very sensitive to ageism would also have an opinion.
Some others might object to the use of the word b***h (or bytch) as being anti women.
Some learning disabled people might object to the use of the word 'stupid'.

All these words possibly being used in this sentence as an insult.

Anyway, I have no great opinion either way, as I'm quite tired, and am going to listen to more music.

It's just a factual description of the people who have been trying to get in fights with me for no reason lately. They have all been rich, white, old, female, stupid, and bitchy. There is no special significance to their skin colour except that's who's been attacking me.

hum. it doesn't sit right with me

my area is predominantly black/asian in most parts, so maybe all the annoying kids on the bus are black.... but i still wouldn't say 'stupid black f*ckers' when explaining my awful bus journey to someone.

maybe it's the mixture of the descriptive colour word with mainly negative words, thus insinuating it is also a negative word, that bugs me

anyway idc, carry on.

"Go ahead, and call the cops. I'm sure you can proove beyond a doubt that I'm some phsyco rapist thug, or someone whoe's homeless.... which you probably dispize because that's how things work for you, no doubt.. .. who somehow managed to have a groomed pet dog to 'supposedly' come poop all over your personal controled block for a giggle.

"While we're at the topic of hearing, this is one incident I wouldn't mind hearing absolutly nothing. I suspect that a couple of your fellow residents might agree. Can I get a drink of water, angry hermit? The heat is getting to me. Wait no, give me one of those over priced, meaningless... 'cough' sorry.. water bottles, so I won't go uncontious on the way home, after tainting you imaginary peep shows, and remember our fond encounter by the quality taste of the water plastics, when I decorate it on my future Christmas tree."

This is what would have went through my mind in your place. Good job there.

Maybe it's kind of skewing my perception, but there was this unbelievably cute old couple who used to talk about the time when they had "nothing" - not in a bitter way, they sort of laughed about it, but they eventually managed to get a successful business going and live quite comfortably now. Not even the tiniest hint of elitism in them, even though they could have if it was in their nature.

But a lot of the psychos I run into in the desert who are obsessed with their "property" and threaten you if you even come close aren't rich I'm sure - what do you think their excuse is?

Finally, yes the poor are far more generous that the wealthy by-and-large, especially when you look at it relatively.

I grew up in a low income family in the desert, and the ones who were around as poor as us who acted that irrational were usualy some kind of paranoid lunatic.

Those are some scary people! I completely respect people's property rights and obey all posted signs, but I've ran into a couple people for whom that wasn't good enough - I certainly don't argue with them at the time, but I usually check with the appropriate law enforcement agency after the fact to ensure that I was indeed in the right and to report their behavior.

Join the club.
