No offense....

So the Pops came out for a visit. I showed him Prague, we went to Rome, we laughed, we cried, we ate gelato. The thing about gelato that I don't understand is that it is immensely better in Italy than it is throughout the rest of Europe. It's so much better than Italy that if one eats gelato in another country they might think European ice cream sucks. But if they eat it in Italy they'll think gelato is the greatest invention since the wheelbarrow (very underrated by the way.)
What really surprised me the most however, is this quite harmless, yet potentially deadly social faux pas. Here's what's been happening way too often. I'm standing somewhere minding my own damn business. And then I hear "excuse me" followed by whack! Practically shoved out the way! Damn near assaulted. And this action is supposed to be completely dismissed all because it is preceded by "excuse me?" Ridiculous I say.

That being said, nothing is worse than this next thing I've been encountering. In the words of slick rick, and it goes a little something like this:

"I mean, no offense, but your acting like a fucking douchebag."

And then when you get upset, the original offender says "Hey man, I said no offense!" As if the fact that somebody says no offense gives them free reign to blurt anything they feel like. Well no offense to anyone who does this, but the next motherfucker that does one of these to me is gettin thrown out a mothafuckin window.
