It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

Foo's Guide to Not Being an Ass Clown

Post by Foo »

I thought I would post some helpful advice in this on going series! The advice is in no particular order, and will take place in many post, but I might make a written pamphlet or app at some point, so you cannot be an Ass Clown even without HMF access!


1. Lower your hood while indoors. Yes, shopping at a store is indoors. You look stupid.

2. Unless you are unable, be prepared to actually park in the lot and walk into the building, rather than having your cousin Pookie drop you at the door and wait for you like you are about to rob the place. If you can't drag your pathetic ass a couple hundred feet, get a handicapped tag.

3. Riding the scooters in stores is for those who are unable to walk, not lazy kids. If you are so fat that walking is hard, you NEED to be walking and not on the scooter.

4. Control your child in public or hire a babysitter.

5. When you see an older person struggling to pick something up, reaching, carrying, etc., offer to help. It takes just a second and makes their day a whole lot easier.

6. listen to people and try to understand where they are coming from, and what their views actually are, rather than writing them off as worthless shit, out of hand, simply because you disagree with those people.

7. Don’t cut in line.

8. Don’t molest kids.

These are the rules.

Don't be hateful. That is in Foo's Guide to Being a Judgmental Prick, but I encourage the behavior. It is number 17 when the app comes out.

It's why we show respect, sir. It is the right thing to do, and when you do the right thing, friends think highly of you.

I have certainly done distasteful things in the past. You try to atone and move forward. Hopefully people forgive. All is not lost.

agreed. i have done shameful, distasteful things that you could hold against me, and it would be justified. but that's not what you're holding against me.

Make a special guideline for wearing a hood while driving in a car with the windows up. This fucking irritates me for some reason :x
