Chip on shoulder

D

This morning while walking into DCU along Collins Avenue. This fella comes up behind me and starts shout "Are you taking the piss? Are you taking the Piss?!" and I'm like, "What?" He keeps shouting this at me getting all in my face. At this stage he has put me in a bad mood and stop and ask him directly what he's talking about? He tells me to walk on but I'm having none of it I take my hat and headphones off and tell him that he has pissed me off and demand again what he wants. He asks again if I am taking the piss. I say no, and then he comes back in a mocking voice to walk on. At this stage I'm sick of this so I start walking on. I glance back then I notice as he keeps walking after me that he has a sizeable limp, his right leg was longer than his left. He must have thought that I was taking the piss out of his walk. I realise that the hem of my jeans is under my right runner and that this have giving me a limp, and "angry man" thought I was taking the piss. Understandable.

But, and this is to you angry man, you shouldn't go round with such a chip on your shoulder. In general if there is something wrong with your body, limp facial disfiguration etc then most people don't give a shít. You are just paranoid and self-concious, your problem, not mine. Get over it. Apart from a few scumbags who don't matter you are the only one who takes note of it. In the future don't be so aggressive to people either most deserve the benefit of the doubt. If people have been rude to you in the past that is no reason to be rude to people in the present or future. Face it you're not that special.

Its called short arse syndrome!

But seriously do the man has probably been getting abuse all his life over his limp. It be hard not to have a chip on your shoulder if all you get day in day out is abuse.

I get small person agro all the time, it can be hilarious.

I totally agree with you One thing that I have noticed is that it is rarely the 'big' lads that start a fight, its more often then not, the skinny, mouthy small guy.

Why is this?

They feel chalanged, they are automatically placed below the tall or big guy and feel they need to prove their worth by challenging the Alpha male. These **** are to be seen everywhere, and as the big guy if you try to back away and calm them down they get worse. There is no avoiding them. The best thing you can do is compare them to the Harry Enfield Small Angry Man scetch.

They fell they have something to prove. Best way to prove it is to start a fight and see who's the man!

I'd be about 6'1" the amount of times playing football espically the amount of smaller people who have tried to start fights is unreal.

I've a firend who is about 5-6 and when he gets drunk he runs his mouth of like I dunno what. Thats usually when I get the bus home cause for some reason trouble just finds him!

My boyfriend is 6'2 and a a fairly big lad. He is also the most calm and gentle fella you could meet. He hates fighting, and avoids it at all costs, yet for some reason, he has had his fair share of run ins with little guys.
When it all kicks off, he doesn't even hit them back, he defends himself and tries to restrain them, or calm them down, but this just seems to make the situation worse, its like they feel embarrassed by the fact that he wont 'take them on'.
Same thing happens my brother, he's about 6'1 and fairly well built, he also seems to be the target of short, angry men.

Its a pity you missed the British Comedy Awards during the week!

If you take down the biggest perosn you can see I think it builds you up confidence wise and makes you fell "big". It usually only happens when people have had a few which seems to be the case with many of Irelands social problems.

Not at all. Never have never will be!

I don't go around with a chip on my shoulder because of my height & looking at every person i see to combat my paranoia.

Im proud of my height 4'9 to be exact, and there are many people my height smaller even who don't think height is an issue, beause it's not. My boyfriend is 6ft 2 height is never an issue.

It's very sad people who have nothing else to do that make the issue about people being small in height.

So ya must be bored in life Honey!!!!:D

I'd rather go out with a tall girl. You get a very sore neck if you go out with some one a good few inches short than you!

joejoem

I'd rather a tall girl too.

but i think she is missing the point a bit, small guys usually have a chip on their shoulder just the other day at my christmas party our resident shortman tried to cause a fight for no real reason, its just been put down to short man syndrome :-)

How can you be proud of being 4'9'? That makes no sense.
1) It doesn't make you any better
2) You had no control in it

Next you'll be telling me you're proud of being white.
Racists like you disgust me.
