40. Had It With Them...

Sun Dec 5, 2021, 09:16 AM

Dec 2021

I'm a 70-yer-old with a serious heart condition and my bride is a cancer survivor. You bet we wear masks.

After a week where my wife fell and broke her leg, and I got sick with severe bronchitis, I was in a supermarket trying to keep us in supplies when the maskless Trumpette behind me started making stupid sounds. Operating on so little sleep, I had zero patience and zero fucks to give. I could feel myself going purple in the face as I turned to him an said quietly, but shaking with rage, "Pal, after the week I've had, you are taking your life in your hands."

Typical Trump bucket, he cowarded out and ran off.
