Funny thing happened to me this morning...

[Offshore Dawg]

I'm completely lost on this entire thread. I don't really get the point the guy holding the elevator was making except that I think he was just making a trivial human connection with somebody over an apparent common interest (college football). I also don't get the response, neither why anybody would feel remorse over it (it doesn't seem rude, just sort of nonsensical) nor why it would be a good one (Is there a bet not mentioned or a local custom where the fans of the losing team in the egg bowl hold open doors for the fans of the winning team? Is the OP going to come back to the hospital and walk behind the guy to try to catch him holding the door open?). I really don't get the connection between janitors and fries and the story.

Ok let me simplify this. Just because you are wearing scrubs does not mean you are a doctor male or female. Two, on this board it has been posted numerous times ; what does an Ole Miss graduate say to an MSU graduate "Sir or Miss would you like fries with your order". The reading comprehension here is hard to understand at times.

I don't know the OP or the Rebel in question here, but I'm gonna have to give the Reb a win this time. Regardless of his motive, The best response would have been a simple "thanks". If the Reb was being a smarta**, he would have to look in the mirror at an a**hole. As it stands, the OP has to look in the mirror and see a bigger a**hole. Many here are quick to point out how arrogant and condescending OM people are and at the same time think that is justification for acting the same or worse. That just makes you worse than them!

For the record, the OP and those that condone him, don't represent this MSU man.

YMMV

I don't understand some of you guys on this board. Day in and day out all I read is "shit on ole miss, shit on ole miss, shit on ole miss" and how much they suck and how shitty and condescending they are to people, namely State fans, etc. Then I post an anecdote about giving their shit back to them and I'm the asshole? Whatever.

My friend, we live in a society where everyone is social justice warrior and extremely sensitive. It?s not like you said something racist to him. Maybe global warming increases the chances of a sandy ******

The self-righteousness and hypocrisy on this board is sickening.

No hypocrisy involved. There is a difference between message boards and real life.

I was walking out of a Braves game this summer and was wearing a State golf shirt and had 2 guys tell hotty toddy at me.
I just politely yelled <17> You and kept on walking.
Had some people walking behind me just start laughing.

You were far more polite than I would have been. Woulda cut a SBD and it close door on my way out as well. Keep up the good work.

[Bully13]

I got your back.

He didn't have to tell you he was an om fan. Just be polite and hold the door. That was a dig at you for wearing your maroon.

yep, tsun guy was saying that to imply that it should be the other way around as to whom holds the door for whom. 17 him, he got the reply his self absorbed ass deserved. don't start shit, won't be no shit.

Pretty sure the OP's words fall in the bolded portion of the definition below:

An inferiority complex is a lack of self-worth, a doubt and uncertainty about oneself, and feelings of not measuring up to standards. It is often subconscious, and is thought to drive afflicted individuals to overcompensate, resulting either in spectacular achievement or extremely asocial behavior.

Unless you ask, assuming intent is ridiculous. Had the guy shouted "Hotty toddy" to him (like in the other example), then it should presumed as a way to make a connection with another person.
