Today, 12:04 PM. I was in a crosswalk on Newbury Street and Berkeley when I heard an adult female voice loudly exclaim, "Look at the midget!"
What the?
Sure enough, when I turned around I saw a little person crossing on my left. Thank God he was wearing headphones.
What the f**k is wrong with people?
At least she didn't call him a munchkin...or an elf.

Also, I really like the word ignoramus. People just don't use it enough. It is right up there with douche bag in my book.

Well, she shouldn't have been calling him anything! I wanted to punch her in her stupid face! But she was walking too fast.
The word ignoramus is a really nice word. Underused. Let's put it back into our rotation.

I totally looked. For a second I ever thought she might be talking about me! And then I was like, wait a minute, I'm 5'5"!
