They fun sometimes when you did something good or stood up for yourself. To be fair my favorite bartender did say he was different now that he got out of prison I could see it, but chose to give him the benefit of the doubt. It all started when word spread I quit my job and trust me, I heard the wrath from nearly everyone. You so stupid. I am like that job paid 12.50 an hour and been there 10 years. They like but that is 12:50 an hour more than you have now. True, but have my brains back. I have me back and not going to be a slave to anyone. Some, OK, as long as you are happy I am happy for you, but many still came at me in a way I did not expect. Snide comments like this fool does not want to work, and that is where he enters the picture. I have known him for years and we just talking causally and how I know he is coward, because he tries to sneak disrespectful things in. He is street and speaks slang like me. Homie, yeah, we went to the park, brought the chiwawa,s was pretty cool, you would have enjoyed it if worked for a living. The chiwawa's pranced around for hours. Huh, what did you say to me? I will let that one slide, weeks later see him again and I forgive him. Does more or less the same thing. I go to smoke and cool off and tell the bartender watch out for me because about to punch this fool She says, you going to fight? No, but verbal exchanges will be made and could escalate. I have to stand up for myself. Oh, OK, will be on the lookout. Go back in. So you have a problem with my life decisions what concern is it to you how I live my life? Because Puto we end up paying for you. Look all this cash I have. Throws out a wad of money. Really, and your point is. You do not work. Oh I work fool, just not going to be exploited. You should understand being a person of color who can still barely speak English in a white mans country. Rough, but kind of true. Then I light his ass up, by one simple question again. When have I ever asked you for anything? 5 bucks have I ever asked you for 5 bucks. Hell, have I ever even asked you to buy me a beer. No, so shut the hell up and whole bar is looking at us. You are right, I am sorry, straight leaves. The kicker is My Boy Benny is there, Mexican Native American who straight tells people. I am done with you. Once you betray me one time you are dropped out of my life forever. I always told him that is way harsh, can never be like that. His repsponse is always, "I do not play." Anyway, after altercation, he says one thing to me. At least, you made him leave." I just had to smile, Yeah that was kind of cool even If whole thing was dumb. Why I hate Greed and it just keeps piling up.
