The Oblivious and Naive Generation

Secured a primo parking spot about 5 hours in advance to watch fireworks with my wife. We were window shopping and on a one mile urban hike headed to watch Minions to kill time.

This is in hobo/crack head central of Denton. For those unfamiliar, Denton has always tried real hard to be another Austin.

About half way into our hike I noticed a tweaker who was walking towards an 18’ish year old female with, what appeared to be, her younger female sibling. The junky and the girls were walking towards each other closing a 50 yard gap. He was matching their movements to create a close pass while fumbling in his right pocket.

I told my wife “Watch this ****er” as we changed course to get between them. My attention went to him so he could notice me watching him. He noticed me when we were both about 10 yards from the girls. He changed course going at an angle away from the girls.

When we passed the girls, the older one said "Do you know him? to which I replied “No”. I was fully expecting a “I saw him following us” or something along those lines as response from her, but no. This little bitch goes “Then why are you looking at him so much?” and gave me a ‘go to hell look’.

I’m normally pretty quick witted with smart-ass remarks but she caught me off guard. I shook my head and we walked on by without answering her question.

This kind of stuff just blows my mind. She’s probably posting something about a straight white male being a nazi somewhere as I type this out.

Anyways, Minions was aight. Fireworks were awesome. Happy 4th to all. Merica.

Feminism, let them be equal and handle their own personal defense needs.

They aren’t a victim of being “oblivious or naive”, they saw him and saw you and decided YOU were the bad guy. Adjust accordingly. I stopped being “Captain Save A Ho” a long time ago.

Lesson learned for sure. It just blew my mind that I was the perceived threat.

You did well. I too, struggle to be chivalrous in a society that doesnt recognize it or deserve it. You did the right thing & she’ll get her come uppance somewhere one day.

Don’t feel bad. You did the good deed for her younger sibling.

Yup. You did your due diligence. You can’t help stupid.

I got told at a Wawa while being polite and holding the door for a woman (I would have held it if it was a guy), " I don’t need you to hold the door for me " as she stopped in the doorway. I laughed and prompty slammed the door in her face.

Don’t judge, maybe she likes being raped, you know, line herself up with her right to an abortion.

The only thing worth a shit in Denton: Duluth Trading Post Outlet Store.

Hold on there… There is the best German food in the Metroplex there. Other then that you are correct. :jester:

What cargoes pants can you recommend?

Ex-fiancee came from Denton, 30 years ago that coulda been her & her little sister. Actually, the crackhead could saved me a lotta trouble, heartache & expense!

DOn’t know if this is a joke, but I really like the super-light weight and fast dry kind. Nice in the summer.

Getting cased to me mugged is a ‘skill set’. Buddy lives in EU and we met up in Budapest for some beer. Walking around, looking for a place for dinner we were getting followed and paralleled by a guy. Buddy has lost his ‘skill’s and never saw it.

Negative, Ghostrider. I must respectfully offer the names of Kuby’s in Snider Plaza, or Jorg’s on 15th in Plano.

Jorg’s is really my fave, the guy brings in a lot of imported beer on tap that I have never seen anywhere else in the state. And a great dude. :slight_smile:

What is the German place in Denton?

I like the lightweight Firehose flex. Great stuff, especially when you wear a gunbelt. The wide loops don’t tear, and I’m not constantly hitching up my pants.

And I’m wearing these shorts in the summer.

I switched from Carharrt pants a few years back.

You shot down her hope that both her and her sister would be raped and impregnated so they could be reproductive rights poster children.

Nope, not a joke.

Thank you and SeriousStudent.

I just ordered a pair of both online. I am not going to Denton anytime soon. So the recommendations are appreciated.

If you don’t want to get to Denton anytime soon, just take Highway 380.

(Anyone in North Texas will understand). :meeting:

This is my usual policy but there are rare exceptions. Last year my wife and I were driving through a city in which I used to be assigned to that has a sizable LDS population (i.e. believers of law & order) when I observed a woman in her twenties jogging alone. Suddenly a dirtbag (from the deeper south) decided to cross the multilane street and head in her direction. I hit the brakes (I doubt either of them noticed) and she evidently detected the threat because she crossed the street and kept jogging. I didn’t have to get involved but under those circumstances I would have.

Your posts may be in jest, but there’s an entire sub or two on Reddit that are full of women expressing exactly these desires. Never underestimate how bat guano crazy some of them can be. :frowning:

Exceptions exist.
