Haters rejoice when your down on your luck

Ok, so I've been down on my luck for almost two years now. Lost my job, Wife and child and apartment, would have been homeless if I didn't have my folks to help me. So, I moved to this one horse town from the big city where I used to live and have been trying to get my life back in order. I haven't found work yet and I usually just eat at home and don't go out anywhere to minimize what I ask my folks for moneywise. Every once in a while my Dad takes me out to eat at this taco/pizza place down the street from their home and we chat with this guy that makes the pizzas. He's usually nice but today he was acting strange, trying to raz me, asking my Dad "so your taking your little boy to dinner", talking about me, when we asked him how he's been, he repeated it a couple of times when my Dad ignored him. My Dad then told him that he would be getting a cornia replacement surgury and made a joke saying that they would probably give him a deer eye, and the pizza guy replies with "You could keep your little boy on one of those leeshes like deer parents keep their kids on" Which made even less sense than his first comment but was another obviois zing at my expense.
Now, I don't know this guy other than in passing there at the restaurant and he for sure don't know me well enough to make comments like that about me.
My Dad just ignored him again and stopped trying to talk to that weirdo.
So, I understand that this guy is probably harboring resentment against me because he has to work making pizzas to support his family and I'm living off my folks but dude, what the hell, making me feel bad about myself will not make your life suck any less, right?

Razz him right back for being a pizza-boi. I mean, you could train a monkey to do that.

I wish it didn't, but it sounds like this all could have started with the shroomery? Just kidding, those dates just happened to mesh up nicely. Anyways that's pretty fucked up , pizza guys are usually huge stoners and cool as hell to me, you should've asked him what his beef was man.

He caught me off guard because I wasn't expecting that from him, or anyone. Not only that but I once I realized what he was doing, the only comeback I could this of was, "dude, you make pizzas for a living in your 40s"...! But I just took my Dads leed and just ignored him.

He's in his 40's and still working a job like like that? What a joke. Next time you go in, point that out and flip him a bird. Don't let that asshole drag you down to his level.

Or maybe just smile and tip him a couple bucks. His life sucks as it is pointing that out probably won't change anything for him.

I would have at least given him a lengthy harangue about how much of a cunt he is, and then not bought the pizza.
But likely a fist fight.

Yeah. I got adrenaline just by reading that and then putting myself in the same situation. I probably would've punched that guy square in the face, then got my ass kicked by him and arrested.

The guy was probably jealous. Anytime I get to have lunch with pops I count it as one of the high points of my life. That dude is the fuckin man.

Nothing, I'm just saying it's his pizza place and you don't really have to go there, you shouldn't carry a grudge.

Well this is true, but I would probably have made a stinging comment to him just for my personal satisfaction were I in the same situation. I can be a real smart-ass when I want to be, but I'm usually not.

True, just a little second person perspective, I can't say how I actually would have reacted.

Yeah. It's really hard to say, isn't it? But having said that, I try to be a nice guy most of the time and I'm certainly not vengeful or vindictive. And of course, I mean no disparagement against Morican or his dad for reacting the way they did. Everyone's different.

This was my first thought. People go out to lunch with their parents every day, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Who cares if pops is paying, it's a god damn pizza. I think it was wise to ignore him at first, but after that your dad should have put him in his place.

That dude is obviously a looser. Thanks you all for the words. Yeah my Dad and I have lunch together a couple times a month after working on the yard, I don't like that place but he does. I'm comfortable enough with myself to put up with some looser, life has been hard enough on that dude, I don't need to do anything.

I can throw the soda, there are free refills anyway, but I don't care about his personal life, I might feel sorry for him if I knew anything about him. His lack of creativity in his insults gives me a clue as to how easy itwould have been to clown on him. Not worth my time. I think the next time I see him Ill just say, "Hi pizza boy, still making pizzas I see"... I don't know, I'm over it. I usually don't sweat idiots, I guess I'm just sensative because I'm not happy with my place in life, but at least for me its
