Why? Maybe he likes the Jeep. Why should he have to change like that to avoid this kind of situation?
Yeah. It's wrong. Damn I am sorry it happened.
Myself, I would have walked up like I was going to do ATM Business and confronted them in some sort of manner like "Don't worrk honey, I am too short to see your pin number" or "Bet you expected Robert Redford huh?"
I would have done anything in my power to make them as uncomfortable as I could. I mean Eye for an Eye right? And if I had gotten the chance I might have made it even more direct to drive the point home.
Whenever I sense that sort of thing I confront it directly. What the hell. I am NOT about to....no, I absolutly REFUSE to let some petty airhead take away my self dignity and pride damnit! Not without exacting a measure of their discomfort in return.
