People stare for the darnest reasons ... the hair cut ... maybe, that's a given ... but to help better explain why someone would come up so close to stare you down .... you have to ask yourself ... " Was I wearing my underwear over top of my jeans again?"

I truly am not a bad ***. First I believe in God secondly I am Polish. Thirdly I am easy going and just want to have a good time, laugh and enjoy life. But I absolutley hate ignorant MFers who try to impose there agenda on me. When I was younger I drove around with a ax handle with nails in it just for those types of traffic situations (hey I was living in Providence at the time?). Now that I am older I try to avoid hostile situations and live in the country on a dirt road far away from the beaten path with many places to bury things,lol.

If the underwear was over the jeans "again" there may be something to stare at. If chaps were worn and underwear was over jeans "again" it may look like bleached jeans from the 80s. No big deal there. Then maybe just maybe it really was the "new doo".

Well, I had my helmet on so that couldn't be it, and underwear wasn't showing because I had my jacket on (pretty funny though) Nope, I'm sure he was an azzhole!

Sounds like he was just an idiot. Maybe he was thinking of something totally unrelated to you. Like how he was going to spend his unemployment check.... :-)
