I listened to an elderly white man berate an African American gas station attendant because the pumps, being out of order so that payment had to be made inside, caused him to move his ass further than he desired. He called the poor woman stupid and an idiot. I turned to him and yelled (loudly) "That, sir, was completely uncalled for. You're the idiot."<br /><br />Yes...I was rude, but he deserved it.
