"Boss"

Not turning this into a racial issue, so please don't take it the wrong way, but when white guys call me "brother" its like nails on a chalkboard. Eh.

What about "bro" because I'm pretty sure I say that to everyone.

I was on the metra tonight headed towards Union Station, and there was some 40 yo piece of monkey [expletive] sitting in front of me (and facing me). The conductor is this sweet old man who I've seen a few times. The kind of guy that you make sure to address as "sir" because, well, he's 817 years old, and he looks like he deserves it either way. A really nice dude with a great sense of humor.

So, the douchebag in the pink striped golf shirt directly in front of me says, "hey there chief, when are we getting there?" Absolutely, nonchalantly talks down to him like this is how he treats people in everyday life.

I was sort of drunk at this point so I was livid. My first instinct was to punch him right in the [expletive] for talking to an elder gentleman like that. That didn't happen, thank god. He ended up assuring me that he meant no disrespect, which is a good thing. I guess the shaved head and drinking to excess really are benefiting mankind. Who knew?
