Driveby shouting

Status
Not open for further replies.
For some reason I have become the focus of most driveby shoutings. I am really curious as to why... so I ask all of you for any ideas on the subject. I wear a WW2 paratrooper jacket, have bright red hair, a green shirt, and glasses. What would cause any random person to slow down thier car to scream some odd obsenity at me? This is not a 'woe is me' tale or anything of the sort. I am just wondering why I seem to offend so many people. Atleast ten drivers and passengers decided to yell at me thusly. Me and my girlfriend were quite confused, so we didn't even bother getting upset. Is there some secrect WW2 paratrooper red hair squad running around that I don't know about?

Honestly...
 
But seriously you're not giving us a lot to go on.  Maybe you were walking into traffic too much???  Maybe you've become infamous.  Do you live in this town?
 
oh man I thought the title was driveby shooting at first, and I thought you said "For some reason I have become the focus of most driveby shootings"

WW2 paratrooper jacket... the stuff the good guys were wearing when they attacked the bad guys. No swastikas on my stuff... though the red hair may have offended a few people. *ponders* I do not think I could have become infamous in such large of a city when I hardly know the area I live in. How horrible could my reputation become after one year? And I was obeying all traffic laws as a pedrestrian, crossing only when told and such. Much less most of the cars were on the opposite side of the road.

dude do you wear the big gay boots too?
The Wolfgang does not wear big gay boots, though I did leave my good tanned leather boots at home today. As far as I could tell, I wasn't too much of a fashion travesty. Though had I been, why would fat guys and rednecks scream at me from the other side of the road?

The Wolfgang is bulletproof.
 
Because you look different. If you "stand out" people (usually females or male who are trying to impress females) will generally try and assert "trend dominance" over you because you are resisting the "trend" that they are in. They have come to believe that their trend should be a social norm or rule that needs to be followed and you are breaking that rule. Or, you are trying really hard to be different and it is annoying everyone because your trying to be an attention whore or you are too prideful/lost in a fantasy world/ignorant of the truth (example: calling yourself "the wolfgang" or "the prince of wolves".) People are generally afraid of the unknown/what is different. It's psycology (I hate that class...)

Maybe they were just douches? Don't worry about what other people think or say. I get called so many names because I skateboard. So its just a label. Fuck the system yo!
 
Everyone :: I am done with this topic, as I have figured out, with your help, that people either were upset by how I stood out or were douches. I thought perhaps there was some off the wall reason as to why this may have happened.
 
I assume you'e still in highschool by the way you're typin and such so it's most likely the cool kidz klub yelling at you for looking like a faggot

Dissonance :: I am not going to react to this in the fashion that I think you want me to. I am no longer in highschool, I'm working on my second year of college. Yes, a geeky nerd college. I actually stand out there for not being uncool enough. Oh... and good luck with posting random shit on this forum. I suppose someone finds you interesting... ?
 
I can see where this thread is going.

Wolfgang, I'm glad you found why you were getting shouted at.

No fightins please :3

Locking.
