Checkmaker Syndrome in a nutshell:

i wonder if op has ever wondered why he's 30 something years old and is still living out of his car or occasionally still crashing at his relative's place..and the fact that you're still talking about this 'boy' incident just shows how petty you really are..

better rule is to avoid talking down to people that handle your food/work for you (and in this case with you).

Boring.

Different.

Thank you =D.

Thank you =D.

Lol you win the comment of the thread award.

I thought simply stating "hey btw im a 31 year old man" was the nicest way to let her know it's unprofessional and disrespectful to call me boy.

How would you have done it so as to not make it about yourself?

Haha, not.

Yeah and I didn't "flip out" either. I merely said "I'm a 31 year old man" to her after I got my food. You clearly live in your own head though so it doesn't matter you are going to think things happened the way you think they happened.

Try being femgendered. A non binary gender with feminine qualities.

Lol the other player at the table who heard me tell her I'm a 31 year old man asked me if she called me a boy and I said yes and he said that was insanely rude. This was the second time she called me boy, the first time was a few weeks ago and I just let it go. I'm not going to have her continuing to call me boy so that's why I said something this time. You need to improve your reading comprehension and not just fill in details with your imagination. That's not what a real man does that what internet trolls do. That's what you are, a troll, not a real man. Lol at anyone thinking I'm a douche because I correct someone for calling me a boy. Screw them then and screw you too. You come across as a loser who lets the whole world step on you and then asks for more abuse and then when someone stands up for themself it makes you feel bad that you have no spine. You are a loser.

I was calm and polite. And I wasn't offended either at least not outwardly.
Where do I say that I was anything but calm and polite? Don't read other peoples accounts of what happened like the idiot javi above. I simply said "Hey, btw, I'm a 31 year old man" after she brought my food. She then asked "You don't like being called boy?" "What do your parents call you?" "So you want me to call you sir?" with an incredulous look on her face. She was extremely rude she doesn't have to ask what my parents call me. Who gives a **** what they call me lady you can call me sir. You are at work and I am a customer get over whatever issues you have and treat the guests with respect. Calling me boy is incredibly disrespectful and her responses show that. All she had to say was "I'm sorry I didn't mean any offense I'll call you sir from now on". But she didn't even bother to apologize for offending me. She didn't want to call me sir for some ****ing reason she wanted to call me boy. Well I'm not a boy and I'm not going to be called 'boy' by a food service worker while I'm gambling at a casino.

You other people can let people casually disrespect you, that's your call. I don't allow it as you can tell.

Seems accurate.

Thank you for telling me I'm petty which in and of itself is being petty. Good job, nice layering.

Yeah that's a good rule except I didn't talk down to anyone. She was for sure talking down to me though.


Also I'm very secure about myself I only said anything to this lady because it was the second time she called me boy. I get called ma'am more often than I would like and I never correct anyone on that. I know that's not a mistake they would make again and usually you can see on the person's face the horror that they just accidentaly called me ma'am or miss or lady or whatever. Doesn't bother me. I get it I have long gorgeous strawberry blonde hair. Which I definitely plan on cutting into a mullet in the near future. That's a gender neutral haircut.

He's pointing out a character flaw that you pretend doesn't exist. Javi & I have pointed out similar things to you. That's not petty. Him critiquing your lifestyle, however, is.

Good point. I need to focus on the bigger picture.



Also I should probably smoke some weed before I post on here otherwise I go full psycho on anyone saying anything slightly cross. Or quit smoking weed all day everyday so I can regulate my emotions without substances but with mindfulness.

I just saw a bird attack my grandmas cat. I'm over here at my grandma's house and her cat is outside walking alongside a wall that I can see thru a window and I see this bird dive at her cat and then come back and dive at it again the other direction. The cat lays down on its side/back and waits for it to come a third time but the bird is done. Weird. I've seen this same bird harass crows around the area before too and thought it was weird. They are small about 1/4 the size of a crow.



This is a one-eyed black cat named "Buddy"



This is the black and white cat named "Wilson" that the bird was harassing.

Yes my grandma named her cats after Tom Hanks "friend" the volleyball in Cast Away.

I give you the benefit of the doubt as the author of the story that things happened exactly as you write them. In your initial post you "pulled her aside" and had an extended conversation with her that induced a range of emotional responses (embarrassment, defiance, aggression etc) now after some backlash you say you only said one line to her while you were seated at the table and she was handing you food.

It's your story, you can tell it how you want but don't get antsy with your readers for taking you at your word.

Judging by his kneejerk reactions to everyone in this thread so far I think our interpretation of events is probably spot on.

Yeah you guys are right. I'm ******ed. I should have been more careful in my post and described the situation better. I will try to be more careful and parse my words better moving forward.

I've learned how to handle things better. Next time somebody calls me 'boy' I'm going to pull my dick out and shout at the top of my lungs as angrily as possible "Is that a 'boycock'?!?!?!?" That's the right play, right guys?

Gonna stream some online poker later.

Clearly based off of how insecure you come across in every post you make the answer would be yes.

Hmm, maybe. How big are you?

Stream is live!

Got a video of a bird harassing my grandma's cat!



Sorry for the crappy quality. Also lost 10 bucks last night playing 200nl. Back at it later.

Birds shouldn't **** with cats

Prolly has a nest in that tree and is trying to keep cat away from the chicks.

Blackbirds are known to attack people, dogs, etc. if they happen to be near the nest at hatchling time.

Yeah that's the same species of bird that was harassing my cat. Lucky for it, my cat is a fat housecat incapable of jumping like that. Feel bad for the bird in that video.

Results 6/28: +$990

Won a little under a thousand bucks playing on Bovada tonight. Streamed for just over 6 hours straight. Got 5th in a $50 tourney and won the nightly thousandaire maker ($82 buy-in satellite with 1k for top 5 guaranteed). Also played 200nl and played well lost some coolers KK<AK and second nut flush vs nut flush right at the end. But still about broke even I believe.

Results 6/29: +$320

Won a bit playing 200nl on Bovada tonight. Only played a couple hours no MTTs. Feels nice to play online poker again and to celebrate I'm going to stream for the next 15 days straight.

isn’t $1/2 online pretty tough?

Compared to 5/10 live, yeah 1/2 online is probably a tougher game. Is Rich a winner in that game? Probably not. He may be able to be a long-term winner at like 50nl online if he put in some work, but he's very likely to be a loser at 200nl

Not really.

Lol ok.

Day 1 underway. Stream is live, come watch me make losing plays at 200nl and struggle in MTTs too.

I'm guessing you haven't played too much in the Ignition/Bovada 6 max (non-Zone) player pool...Routinely have at least one massive spot running 60/0 on each table @ 200NL.

But still.

Results 6/30: +$700

Got 5th in the knockout tourney busted with KK all in pre vs AT. Won some money in the cash games. I play full ring not 6max btw.

And I'll start streaming again tomorrow at ~1pm.
