From Not Always Right: Wow, Misogynists And Homophobes Really DO Go Together!
I’m in line to check out at a pet store. The guy up at the register has a bag of guinea pig food or bedding or something, and between him and me is someone who looks like he looked up “Grumpy Old Man stereotypes” and used it as a checklist.
Cashier: “All right, your total is [total], we also have these ‘Guinea Dad’ and ‘Guinea Mom’ bumper stickers for just a dollar if you like!”
Guinea Pig Guy: “Ooo, yeah, I’ll take the ‘Guinea Mom’, please.”
Grumpy Old Man: Scoffs
Cashier: “All right, here you go, your new total is [total].”
Grumpy Old Man: “PUT IT BACK!”
Cashier & Guinea Pig Guy: “What?”
Grumpy Old Man: “He’s got a f****** beard! It’s bad enough that he’s got some [gay slur] pet like that little rat. Don’t let him act like a woman! Put that f****** thing back!“
Guinea Pig Guy: “…So, anyway, my wife, who is the one who takes care of the guinea pig, would love that sticker, yes. Also, do you guys sell baby food? Someone left their infant here and he’s crying loudly.”
The cashier made a visible effort to not burst out laughing. I made no such effort and doubled over, especially when the Grumpy Old Baby impotently banged his cart a few times and stormed out
This one kinda fits.
