So I was walking to my local subway station today and this guy comes up to me and said my cash was about to fall out of my pocket.

I disagreed with him because the bills were more than halfway in my pocket when I looked in my pocket. I did not do anything, so then he called me an uneducated ******, which really got me off because I'm a college student who is trying HARD to get an education!!!

When I walked away, I thought about it again, and put the money and everything else in another (better) pocket, thinking that the bills were probably vulnerable anyways if they were even visible.

I learned my lesson NOT to put my bills in my front jeans pocket, but I'm still offended about this and thought it was very rude!!!

Why couldn't he just nicely warn/tell me that my bills were sticking out??

How can I get over this?

I kinda know to suck it up, but I'm a person who really cannot take hits (gets upset easily) & I've never been name-called like this before!!!

& yea as I said, it was very offensive to me because I was working very hard last semester!!!!

xxeliza321xx : you'll get over it, it's just some random guy who snaps easy saying something. Next time it's probably better to ignore or just say thanks even if you don't plan on taking his advice. I think you are pretty lucky for this to be the only real bad thing to be called or done to you, i've had way worse a lot more often so you should be ok.

It may feel very upsetting now, but UFC is right; you'll get over it.

Think of it this way; he's just some random person who insulted you because you didn't do what he wanted you to do. He doesn't know you, nor do you know him (is what I believe), so why should his opinion on you matter?

If it's bothering you so much, try blowing off some steam by keeping yourself occupied by doing the things you love to do. Like drawing, or listening to music, writing, etc.

I used to worry about this kind of stuff when I was younger, but as I got older I realized that some people are just self-centered, obnoxious, or just crazy, and eventually just learned to not waste energy on these kinds of people. Even people who are/were "friends".

Now if it was someone that you have to constantly deal with in your everyday life who was abusive, that would be something that you need to address. This guy was just a random guy, and you hopefully and most likely won't have to deal with him again.

Thanks guys!
I think I've begun to cool down about this.

xxeliza321xx : Don't get mad or anything like that because you was aware enough to know the guy was trying to steal your money and the fact he needed to swear at you proves it. Instead use it as a learning experience because now you know to keep your money better hidden than before and the more you learn from these bad people the more prepared you are for all their dirty tricks to try and steal from you and you can see it coming more easily just focus on the good things in your life and just let bad people like him go on with their lives no doubt they will have what's coming to them sooner or later

Well, try saying, "Oh, thanks," and turning away.  A guy comes up to help you and you blow him off, he might get upset.  He's trying to be nice.  He didn't have to react that way but a takeaway from this is to just say thank you instead of telling someone they're wrong or correcting them.

I have no idea how to tell you to get over it.  I could not care less what random strangers think or say to me so I can't be empathetic about this. Two seconds after it happened, I would have forgotten it and did my own thing.  He's just an angry person.

   Well, that guy may have a bad day, but I wouldn't make a thread that was about the guy. What if he reads this. It may be unlikely, but there's a chance if that happens.

Lol yea you're right but I'm sure there are many people who've experienced this and that he wouldn't be able to identify me just from a thread.
He doesn't even know my name lol

don't worry just ignore it he just has a bad temper so don't worry too much about it

Lol I hope so thanks
