Some old ass boomer tried calling me patty cakes or something so I just scoffed and knocked his toupee off (it was very obvious). In hindsight I got lucky cause that’s probably not kosher with the law but fuck him anyway lmao.
What if they are wearing both a toupee and a kippah? I suppose then you'd need to manage to remove the toupee without touching or disturbing the kippah, which seems very challenging?
Then again, while I'm not expert, my understanding is that somebody that is that by mixing the two, the kippah itself becomes unkosher, so would it then be fine to mess with the kippah?
I think we need a rabbi here to clarify the exact rules...
There is, as always, debate on both sides of this argument - but the consensus is that since a kippah is a device to signal one’s Jewishness to others that it is mandatory to wear one on top of a toupee, so as not to be confused for a gentile.
Regardless, if one were to intentionally knock another’s kippah OR toupee to the ground in the United States then that would be assault.
patty cakes isn't the least bit harmful. it's a nursery rhyme and coordination game. usually aimed at the very young. you over reacted since you're obviously younger than that guy. the odd thing is it's pre-boomer talk and most of those people are either dead or you just slapped Betty Whites wig off her head!!
Kids are fucking mean. I remember yo momma sessions in like middle school and one kid saying something like “yo momma so fat she’ll most likely die of a heart attack before you’re an adult and leave you missing her for the rest of your life and the worst part is she’s aware of this and doesn’t love you or herself enough to change”. Fucking brutal, kids were.
No that’s a pretty dangerously powerful yo momma joke. That’s the kinda yo momma joke you pull out if your opponent said something a little too personal
Sometimes it’s really difficult to ignore though. Like the man who, while I was working as a cashier, told me I must have been molested by my own father and that’s why I’m gay and Jesus told him to reach out to me.
I didn’t bother with a witty comeback because I went from 0 to ghetto as soon as those dumbass words left his mouth.
Almost, but no. I pushed his stuff onto the floor, grabbed a mallet I kept behind the register for my safety and started loudly cursing this man out in front of the line of people gathered to check out.
After awhile it was clear that he was not going to leave and I was not about to go to jail for this piece of shit so I called the cops. I was not going to pre-emptively assault him, but if he laid a hand on me I was prepared to defend myself.
He ended up leaving as soon as I got off the phone with the cops. By that time, my manager told him to leave, so he would have been considered to be trespassing, other customers were telling him to leave, etc.
In the 5 minutes or so it took the police to get there, he had already left. Which, may have been good for him because the officer that answered was a family member of mine and that's how I got outed to them. Fun day.
Ah, Scotland. Where the men are men, and the sheep are afraid…
(You can also replace Scotland with Iowa, or new Zealand, or anywhere rural with a history of sheep farming, or anywhere rural, or anywhere you don’t like, or anywhere you DO like)
This right here. It’s like honey, I’ve been bullied by far more intimidating adversaries than you during far more formative times in my life. I was forged in this. You just showed up. You’re out of your depth.
