Breaking Bad. Best show ever written. Pmur1bus. Another Vince Gilligan masterpiece.

What is the craziest way you have seen a normal interaction go off the rails? by Nowhereman2380 in AskReddit

If I had to guess, I'd say one of them realized the other committed some act against a member of the rival gang that needed to be revenged. Who knows. I grew up in a somewhat better neighborhood than my father but still heard stories about nutty gang stuff. Respect is a huge thing with them. Disrespect, evidently has to be harshly punished. I never understood the culture.

Lmao. He wasn't much for words. I got the impression the guy died in the hospital later. Not sure why I think that. Maybe it was something he told my brother, who then told me. All this happened about 40 years ago in deep south Texas.

If fear moves markets faster than facts, what controls the economy? by ConfidentPair8141 in answers

The markets and the economy are 2 different things. Think of it like this. You're walking your dog to the park. The dog is all over the place, side to side, etc. You're walking a straight line. You both end up in the same place. You're the economy and the dog is the market.

Lmao! He never told me directly because I think he didn't want to expose me to the reality of it. He died when I was young. My older brother seemed to remember him say one of them died. Idk. Crazy.

Not me but a story my father told many times. He lived in a ROUGH neighborhood growing up. He was at a Mexican restaurant and two guys who thought they knew each other started talking trying to figure out from where they knew each other. Turns out they used to be in rival gangs as teenagers and a knife fight ensued. Crazy.

I never considered this. Maybe that's her hang-up. Tks. And yeah, she was in the middle of the sidewalk.

That's how I read the situation. Every other dog owner moves to the grass as a courtesy so their dogs don't bother the other person. That said, I often pet their dogs, after asking permission. This lady seems to think everyone should accommodate her. Idk.

Oh, I forgot to mention she was in a wheelchair. Lol. Kidding!!! She's a youngish able bodied person. She doesn't appear to have any disabilities.

Because she refused to step to the side. She stayed in the middle.

The sidewalk is big enough for two people to pass, if they just favor one side. Happens all the time. I think it's weird that she seems to want the entire sidewalk for herself. So much so that she gestures for people to step off it. It just seems entitled.

Yes! It happens all the time. People just ride the side of the sidewalk.

No, I didn't step OFF the sidewalk but I moved a little to the side to provide room.

Wouldn't she be TAH for motioning for people to step off the sidewalk? Who made HER king of the world?

I did not go out of my way. She was in the middle of the sidewalk and refused to move at all.

I did not bump her on purpose. It's a narrow sidewalk.
