Somebody Takes Miss Manners a Little Too Seriously

Back in my college days, I had a friend who was all about good manners. He insisted upon them. In fact, one night, this friend allowed a driver to cut in front of him in a long line of traffic. The problem, however, was that the other driver didn’t proffer the requisite thank-you wave. And that’s not cool in the South. So, my friend followed that other car around for nearly an hour, from a safe two-inch distance, until the driver lost his shit and drove us by the police station.

Of course, foregoing the thank-you wave is not as bad as bumping into someone in a Target and refusing to apologize. That’s just not right, even if it is just an accident. Which is why a 10-year-old Massachusetts girl took extreme umbrage and kicked the holy living hell out of the 22-year-old who refused to apologize. She and two other girls knocked that bitch to the floor, ripped out her hair, took off her pants and kicked the woman in the head and stomach. ‘Cause 10-year-olds don’t take shit from young adults with bad manners.

Of course, the police didn’t understand that. They arrested the 10-year-old girl and charged her with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, the dangerous weapon being the 10-year-old leg she used to kick with.
