HEY GIMPY!

[thesloppy]

So, I go into my local Plaid Pantry (a regional bastardization of a 7-11), to buy some frosty beverages, I get about half-way to the counter, and the guy manning the register (who I am completely unfamiliar with) just yells at me:

"HEY GIMPY!"

"HOW'D YOU LIKE ME TO KICK YOU IN YOUR OTHER LEG AND MAKE YOU WALK STRAIGHT!"

So, now....

A) I don't walk with any kind of limp as far as I know, unless I was subconsciously busting out my well-practiced and world-admired Crip walk.

B) If I DID walk with a limp, for whatever reason, would it be appropriate to yell "HEY GIMPY!" at me?

He was affable enough, and went on laughing and talking about how his dad used to hit him in the head to make him quit whining about some other body part, but I was completely fucking confused the whole time.

Did this guy confuse me for his good pal, gentleman-scholar "Gimpy"? Maybe he's just a talkative fellow, and likes to break the ice with a little disability humor? Was he REALLY wanting to call SOMEBODY 'gimpy' and I just walked in at the wrong time? Hell, maybe I walk with a limp...and it took a guy with brass balls, working behind the hotdog roller, to tell me so.

Either it was mistaken identity or you were being Punk'd and just didn't cooperate.

I would've shoved my foot up his ass and then asked him if he still thought I was gimpy.

you're a pussy, for the record.


i woulda said i messed up my leg kicking the shit out of some chump clerk who got wise with me.

[MJ4H]

"got wise" has always cracked me up in that context.

[terpkristin]

Dude works at one crap-ass convenience store...any action taken by me is only going to distract him from that fact.

I felt my best action was a raised eyebrow, extended eye contact, contemptuous sneer and absolute silence. Luckily, I've been practicing this move on my mom for like the last 40 years.

That post was friggin' hilarious. Even better than it happening to you was you sharing it, oh gentleman-scholar GIMPY.

[thesloppy]

...as an addendum to this story, I had to buy warm Coke, because their fridge was busy chilling all the various flavors of Diet Rite.

The moral of this entire story is that Plaid Pantry sucks.

[cartman]

Was he also trying to reclaim the term "porch monkey" while his friend constantly complained "I’m not even supposed to be here today"?

No he only had two legs.

[Dr. Sak]

You should've went into the bathroom and plopped an upper decker in the toilet. That'll teach him to call you Gimpy!

[Fidatelo]

I think you should have yelled "My name is Captain James T Kirk... I was in Veee-ET-NAM!!". Then maybe warned him that somebody up in there was gonna get pregnant. You gotta fight crazy with crazy.
