The time to correct those bastards would be about 50 years ago when their daddies could have still tried to be their Father and guided them away from being the bane of a blog story on how this world is going to hell by degrees.<br /><br /><br />Hell, I'm just kidding. You could've stepped in, applied gentle correction and they would have sheepishly cowed to you, Beaver Cleaver-style. They're all basically good, you know. :)DrFeelgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483555196380449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-13843426826428400482010-07-23T10:58:58.392-07:002010-07-23T10:58:58.392-07:00I take the same approach as Tamagosan.

But yeah, now that I'm older and realize that I somehow some way pay for those buses, that situation commands a different attitude. <br /><br />I've seen well-dressed, well-meaning men say something as they were taking pictures of the offenders get totally ridiculed. And Kate's right, lippy don't always cut it. <br /><br />But it feels so weird to say nothing at all, so what I have found interesting in terms of hey-I'm-actually-saying-something-and-nothing-will-really-work-anyway is to ridicule their skill. So I've actually called out the taggers, saying things like "If you're gonna tag on the bus, you could practice beforehand. Your shit looks hella sloppy and there's no skill whatsoever in that underline after the last letter."<br /><br />Yes, dorky, but it always seems to catch them off-guard. I might get a "Fuck you, bitch" but I like to think they might think about it first and subconsciously view public space as public and question their own contributions, etc, etc, idealism, etc, naivité, etc. <br /> <br />FWIWTamagosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583066213197379712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-19062384983255693942010-07-23T10:22:27.143-07:002010-07-23T10:22:27.143-07:00you told me not to interfere in situations like th...you told me not to interfere in situations like this. remember when i yelled at that guy in the lower haight for taking my parking space and he came after me? well, lesson learned.Roccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512482374744278304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-72873703814052471292010-07-23T10:21:14.726-07:002010-07-23T10:21:14.726-07:00This happened to me on the 22.

I said something like, "you know someone is going to have a really bad day trying to clean up your mess."
