Went MOP on the guy next to me at the movies yesterday! (1 Viewer)

I'm sorry MoP, I know that was a dark time for you and you've taken steps to control the anger since (based on your diet thread iirc), but that is one of the funniest sentences I've ever read.

People still get their panties in a bunch over even the first request, but will usually do what I ask after huffing and puffing about it. The one time they didn't, I got the usher (thought about sending the wife- not because I was scared for myself, but because I was scared to leave my wife alone with a complete #######) who asked them to leave- after some loud exchanges.

Dude and his pals waited outside the theater for me and my wife- I'm talking about an hour- getting into my face about it. I jumped back in the theater and had the manager call the cops. I've seen way too many moments like this go South really quickly and was not going to risk my wife's or my own health over some dumbasses and their burritos. Cops came, we jumped in a cab and left.

Do you seriously think you were in the right by slapping the water out of his hands because you scared him enough into moving?

ok... it was a long time ago, but I have no memory of this ever happening. 

either I made it all up, or my brain is ####ed. sadly, I think it's the latter. :kicksrock:

No, it was completely unacceptable taking physical action towards him, I'm lucky he didn't have a gun and shoot my drunk ### dead. 

That's what you all want to hear, that's what I know is right however...if I had to do it all over again I don't think I would change much EXCEPT I would have knocked the tuna can from his hand prior to him even opening it. House Mgr would have sided with me and pointed to the NO OUTSIDE FOOD signs posted about and either would have refunded the guy and told him to come back or would have given me whatever passes to come again. 

I was definitely was drinking heavy in SoCal when craft beer was exploding. I would have been better served with a doobie in hand v the drinks I had consumed.

oh... don't get me wrong... you were a nut- I wasn't trying to make any excuses for you.

I was only responding to my own post about a group of guys waiting for me outside of a theater. kinda sounds familiar- but maybe only from writing it here. other than that, I have no specific memories of that event. so I either made it up for some reason (which I don't typically do- I'm a terrible liar)... or my brain is kaput.

 
Otherwise known as "the good ol' days". Lol at calling Capella imean........3/4's of the people here were imean.

Most of us would be lying if we said we hadn't done or said some stupid stuff along the way. I had an altercation with a guy at the gas pump one morning that could have gotten me shot as well. Life's a ##### when you have a temper. 

Good for you for working on it.

In this case, yes I think he's fishing. And I think more and more, that's what he's doing here. I think long ago he might have revealed truisms about his life (screaming at his wife for taking his Tommy Bahama's to the dry cleaner that burned down, screaming at people who have the nerve to try and walk up or down a moving escalator (sp?) instead of treating it like a ride at an amusement park, brow beating his secretary, bla bla bla) that other posters here thought were a bit extreme and over the top. He would defend his behavior at all costs, was blindly ignorant to the larger view and would get outraged at the drop of a hat.

In time, he began to recognize that he owned his very own schtick and loved the attention of having his username added to the vernacular of the FFA and would cite it himself more than anybody else (note the increased use of the third person and the constant need to reinforce the term "MOP" to mean attacking another person).

We all love attention. MOP is no exception. When you run out of real life examples, it's not hard to fabricate them to faceless strangers and then, when busted, to pull out the old "Fishing" smiley (smilie?).

People just don't bow up and slap drinks out of other's hands, I don't care what your online board cred is.

Yup.

If you ever ventured outside the comfy confines of those Douglas Firs you might understand. You love to paint me as PT Barnum until you realize what you're doing and then suddenly I'm the crazy man in the park. 

Sounds like you are saying MOP is a brand, I'm flattered.

And here I thought he was saying you're a blowhard to the point of being a liar.

That is what I'm saying.  That's what I've been saying for years, which is why I quoted myself from 2007.  I talked to MOP on the phone (unless I was being catfished, which might be the case).  He's not the maniac he professed to be then and I have doubts he's the lunatic he portrays himself to be in current stories (getting a bartender fired on the spot....uh huh).  

PT Barnum was clever.  MOP just enjoys riling up the masses with inane rants that he knows will rankle feathers.  PT Barnum profited from his trade. MOP.....well, he's pretending to be an inner city school teacher, which is only funny because unless things are really different in Florida (well, they are) we all missed the part of MOP's life where he, you know, WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AND GET CERTIFICATION TO TEACH IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS!

Well of course there's that.

GM is the character in the movie that seems to be the only person who knows what is happening but no one actually believes him. 

That's what he would have you believe.

Isn't that the guy who actually does know what is going on? Like the guy saying, "we should stick together" in horror/slasher movies?

She deserved it, what a witch...and yes I let her know it.

Hmmm, GM seems to be good-natured and self-deprecating with an eye on the fun side of life whereas you try to be "I'll show you, you'll see!" in your self-righteous rants about changing the world and how someone has wronged you.

Even if both of you are nothing like you attempt to portray, GM at least makes his stories believable.

You're a kind person.  I've also met probably 40 or 50 FBGs since 2002.  MOP's total please?

Any 4 year degree from a accredited university, even the Univ of Miami will get you an open door into a public classroom. Might be different elsewhere...this is what drives teachers who went and majored in teaching go bonkers. I try to be respectful but it just blows their mind they allowed me to have a classroom. 

-Don't forget how I started...teacher had a nervous breakdown at the ripe age of 26 and resigned from a class of 48! And it was a charter school and they were desperate, they would have hired Mickey Mouse and that's exactly what they got. Low and behold somehow MOP got results.

-Once you are hired full time you have 36 months or thereabouts to complete 5 to 6 college level education courses all 3 credits a piece from any accredited university and so for example Palm Beach College has those 5 courses all laid out in a schedule so local teachers who need further accreditation can fast track it for the district where I am. 

So many of you are so far along in your lives and trajectory, I'm not making or passing judgments, my life has been a roller coaster and the passing of both my mother and father at early ages to cancer has unfortunately been harnessed as a way for me to excuse poor judgement and behavior at times. 

My mother passed from cancer when she was 46 and she was a teacher in North Dade/South Broward, she went in and purposely worked with minorities when she didn't have to. My father's last words when he passed away from cancer in his 50s were that he didn't pursue his dreams and teach, he always chased a few more dollars in banking vs the happiness he felt he would reap from teaching.

I'm blessed to have a better half that has supported me in many ways along my journey. I'm not going to teach forever, maybe not even for long. I wanted to experience the same desperate economically disadvantaged kids like my mother had done back in the 80s and I wanted to try and make amends for personal choices in my time here on Earth. I had so many dreams when I was young and I was heavily involved in entertainment when I was a kid, sports too but I loved entertaining. Most of those dreams likely due to my own choices have slipped away. However I find with each day I work in the classrooms that somehow I seem to be drifting a little closer to some of them and my hope is long term I can branch out and do more meaningful work. 

So I said a lot more here than I wanted to but in short I am fulfilling and in many ways finally getting some closure by walking in my mother's footsteps or shoes and recreating some of the magic she did. My students will tell you, MOP is no teacher, he's a story teller and a motivator. I don't think you would find it that hard to believe. 

Fundraising long term though. I would like to have a private school or charter school of my own. I'm sorry but my way works and it's basically a carbon copy of the Catholic School education I received when I was young. I stopped by 4th or 5th grade but I learned a lot in those first 3-4 years before I knew much about the dark side.
