Those looking for trouble, get it. Those looking for peace, find it. We all find what we are looking for, except Bono (U2). We all find what we deserve.
Define what "looking for trouble" means. Is calling someone out because they were an a*sh*le to you, "looking for trouble"?
Could be. What's the point of confronting someone who walks in front of you? It's like honking at someone cutting you off in traffic. Do you think they'll hear the honk and have an epiphany that changes the way they drive? Either they didn't see you or are just a bad driver.
There are too many crazy people out there. If someone is threatening you or your family, that's one thing. To call them out because they cut you off is childish. It serves no purpose.
Sure, Because society is surely a paragon of selflessness and virtue today, isn't it?
No, of course it isn't. And it never has been. But using that fact to give yourself permission to provoke needless confrontations with strangers just proves my point. It sounds like you are bitter and resentful and actively looking for opportunities to get in people's faces.
My husband and I were at a Cleveland Indians game earlier this year. We noticed a young guy wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt.
My husband proceeded to school him on what Guevara actually did and who he was. The guy shouted back some ridiculous stuff I can't even follow, & a verbal exchange ensued.

Dude, you are way angry. Got some rage in you probably going back a long, long way. You displace it onto everyday situations. No one else is going to stop living simply to conform to shaping the world around you. So you are going to carry on getting enraged. And then rationalizing it. You can chill out or continue feeding and indulging the rage. Are you too set in your ways to change?
Every once in awhile, will run into complete strangers and get into a little heat
Today, I was strolling along the street heading towards the crosswalk when this guy and his 2 friends (a gal and another guy) cut me off, to cross the other side but it was red on their direction (they would've had to just wait while my direction was green).
The first guy cut me off and I walked fast enough to not allow the other 2 to do the same thing. So I confronted them about it- told them to watch where they're going- and then the friend had the nerve to swear at me! I got the final word in- yes a few heated words exchanged, but couldn't believe his comeback as they were in the wrong!
Anyone else have stories of confrontations with strangers to tell?
I dunno, I dont think its worth it..these days you can get gunned down for getting into little exchanges with strangers, better to keep walking, dont sweat the small stuff.

Who does that? Who gets worked up about a T-shirt someone's wearing, and accosts them to lecture them about it? Why would he even assume the person didn't know who Che Guevara was? What is this world coming to?!
