I was walking back from the grocery store, carrying two big bags of groceries about nine blocks on a hot August day. I passed a man and he starts saying, “Hi,” to me. I just sort of smiled, but I kept walking, because it was hot and all I wanted to do was get home and put away my groceries. He then starts yelling at me, “I said hi! You don’t even say anything back? You’re rude as fuck, you fat ass bitch!”

Yeah, fucking lovely start to my day.
