There have always been little tossers - and often they come from the best of homes - who will pick on those who are different to them, whether the bullied person is older, paler, darker, skinnier, fatter, male, female, etc. I have no time for people like that, nor do I have time for those who are rude and impatient with those people. I was in the supermarket once, fuming because I'd got in a queue that was going slower than all the others - until I saw WHY it was going slower. At the head of the queue was an old guy on a mobility scooter, being served by a girl aged about 16. She was SO patient with him I immediately felt guilty - she counted his change back into his hand and then walked around and packed his groceries into his bag for him. I complimented her on her actions when I was served and said that when I got to his age, I hope I found someone like her.
I wish you could still clip a little sod around the ears and know it would have some effect. Nowadays you're likely to get charged with assault and then they'd find out where you lived and start picking on you!
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
