One time, when I was still in junior college at PCC in Pasadena, I went to school wearing a strange shirt. It was fall, so it was generally cooler and time for long sleeves. I had just purchased this cool T-shirt from this website, called bornintheussr.com. In any event, the shirt was red and it had a yellow hammer and sickle. I am not a communist, nor do I believe in communism. However, I found it interesting, the design, the colors, and after all, my family is from the former SU and it was just an inside thing that I appreciated. So I decided to wear the shirt to school.
Lo and behold I am walking to class, and as I am walking in the open area from the parking structure to the C building, someone from afar spotted the jolly old red me. So when they got close to me, it was about a 35 year old white male who probably voted for Bush. I noticed he was walking really fast, and sort of looking at me. I didn't make anything of it, and just continued. Right as he was passing by me, he just sort of let out a sentence saying "If you don't like it here, go back to Russia", and just kept walking. Haha! Now at this point I had a chuckle, because I felt good about myself, namely that I was able to piss someone off by merely wearing a T-shirt. Apparently though, the concept of freedom of choice was not apparent to our conservative Republican friend and he just had to be rude.
So share some rude things strangers have said to you.
