The Spectacle That Wasn't
Oh yes. So after the math exam about 6 of us boarders went up to McDs for lunch. We sat at a corner table, but were probably the most prominent group in the almost empty place, save a few elderlies. Some time after, these two Aussie girls came in. Looked about 14, wannabe bad-ass type. This theory was confirmed when they walked past us and one of them muttered, "Asian freaks." They must be idiot amateurs to pick a fight on a 6:2 ratio.
I wasn't too bothered. Had a similar encounter not too long ago with another pair of girls (who looked 12 and were 2 heads shorter than me) on the tram. Must be some growing fad. But that's another story. I only regret not extorting more money from them. So pre-pubescent, and still so much to learn from So You Wanna Be Bad-ass 101.
Anyway, the general reaction from us was mostly heated. Presently they walked past us again.
[transcript]
Boarder: (within earshot) Fuck you.
Bad-ass Girl 1: What did you say? *dirty looks all round*...Fuck YOU.
Bad-ass Girl 2: Yeah, go back to your own country.
Boarder: Oh yeah, why don't YOU go back to your own country? Go back to England!
Bad-ass Girl 1: *laughs derisively* This IS my country!
[/transcript]
So the comeback was a bit random. But by this time we were ready to attack. I'd have preferred to respond by digging my ear, flicking a nail at them and proceed to laugh at them. Or ignoring them, or any other way that'd have made them a joke. Why satisfy their attempt to cari pasal in the way they want you to?
Reaction from the elderlies -
Woman 1: *stares determinedly at her newspaper over her cup of coffee*
Man 1: *glares after them* Rude bitches. (at us apologetically) They're young. They don't know what they're doing.
We passed them by again at a tram stop as we were walking back. They happily bombarded us with rude comments and choruses of "Go back to China, freaks." I could've gone over and hit them right across, I was sorely tempted to, but decided in the end to help the half convince the other half of us not to do just that.
Kids these days.
