couple of weekends ago...M & F hipsters walking their little dog across Dyckman...but letting the dog cut in front of normal people as dog goes for lamppost.
normal person calls hipster out...in a nice way.
hipster gets all up on their hind legs with: "oh! you want to fight with the little doggie?" continued conversation in inane manner. walked off making fun of the moderately old latino guy who had called them on cutting across pedestrian traffic and cutting someone off...all without any sort of acknowledgement or apology.
it seemed to me as though the hipsters simply discounted the latino guy as a person. i truly don't know if they would have been dicks to a white person or 2 white persons, but they surely treated this guy as if he should have been parking their car or cleaning up the restroom in the office building...not as though he was a valid human being.
at the gym...spring / late spring. new hipster couple...him mixed, her white...shows up at the gym...come down to weight room floor.
don't use a locker for coats and bags, but i don't either.
BUT, they drape their coats bags across heavily used equipment...until some guy that you don't want to mess with comes by and starts to move it...words, but hipsters back down and move coats to a railing, which is fine.
again at the gym...hipsters with tats, him with LOTS, her with a couple...come in brand new, but acting like they own the place, and they're sort of pissed at having to be alive, or maybe at having to be at a PF rather than a more upscale gym downtown.
over at water fountain, female gets drink...enters into conversation with her boyfriend while still standing there and ignoring the line behind her...then decides she's also going to fill her water bottle, which she could have done instead of standing there talking to boyfriend.
slight words from a lady regular you don't want to mess with...no blows, though.
these are very slight incidents, but this isn't the behavior i normally see in my neighborhood, and it stands out like a sore thumb and makes me ashamed...partly for being white and being thought of as being like these people, but partly because i don't have the balls to call the jerks on their shit out of fear of being pounded into the ground.
