My roommate's friends make fun of me (behind my back) for my Joe collection. But you know what, I don't care.
I like what I do and I do what I like. I have never cared what people think about me.

What makes one a winner?
It's all about perception... I never understood that. Calling people losers as if life were some stupid race... |

Exactly what I was thinking, how pathetic do you have to be to wander around wal-mart late at night, making fun of people?

I know how u feel man. I can't tell u how many times people laughed behind my back. One time this cashier who was in her late teens apparently couldn't keep a straight face when I was getting a couple BATs so I asked her if she had a problem and she said "Aren't u too old for playschool?" So I said f&$# off and got her name. Then I emailed customer service and told them she was being very rude to me, and next thing I know I'm paying with a 50 dollar gift card. And she got fired.

Bro, you are no loser. I can relate to how you feel though.
While no one has ever said something like to me while I was in the toy section I have had some strange looks. Even parents grabbing a hold of their kids like I am some kind of weirdo for looking at toys. You should feel good about yourself. You have a job, a wife, and a daughter. So what if you want to spend your money on something you love. Kids that age have no respect for anyone older than them. Hold your head up bro. You are not a loser! |

Well you certainly are not a loser for collecting GI Joes with your own hard earned money. You work, you get paid, you can spend that on whatever you want! Who cares what others think! Even though there are other alternatives other than drinking and drugs to spend your money if you didn't want to buy Joes! So if you stop collecting know that you don't have to become a drunk junkie!
But, and you knew there was a but coming.... per your story; You became a loser when your wife had to talk you down from going after 3 teenagers in the toy department. essentially stopping you from becoming a criminal. If I told you that someone had to talk me down from stealing and then i asked if i was a loser.... you certainly would say...Ah, yeah! I mean what do you think might have happened if you did go after them? So, you hit or hurt one of them, get arrested in-front on your family all for the stupid ramblings of a bunch of teenagers from the toy aisle. Then to top it off you fight with your wife on the way home that bled into an entire day! That my friend is suspect in you having larger issues than being a loser! Now to answer the question on why that kid hurt your feelings, well maybe you are feeling a sense of embarrassment or shame in buying toys and you at that moment felt what they said had merit? Which is silly. If you have disposable income then go for it - buy Joes. But if you do not have at least $20,000.00 in the bank for your 14 year old daughters college fund and you are buying toys. You my friend might evaluate if those boys comments had merit. Now I would never judge anyone for anything they did, but since you asked..... I felt the need to respond. |

You aren't a loser, but how you handled it was certainly wrong. I'm no expert, hell, I just joined to see the attachments. But really, getting offended by what a teenager IRL troll said to you, fighting with your wife about it, and then complaining about it on the internet? I'm not calling you a loser, but the whole situation could have just been blown off with a wave of the hand and a "whatever," or a "Cool Story Bro." Getting trolled by an idiot (Read- "Idiot," not "teenager") who has nothing better to do and no good future ahead of them is nothing to get upset over.

Response should have been: "Let's see, I'm married with a beautiful daughter who if I catch you punks staring at I'll kill you, and I have enough extra money in this economy to buy collector's items. You, you need mommy or daddy to bring you to Wal-Mart to walk around and make comments at people that are better then you? Who's the real loser here?"
