I went out with some friends and one bar we went to said they needed to scan all our IDs. I said, "I don't let people scan my ID" (I have a sticker on the back to prevent it). They let me though anyway, but this girl called me an asshole for making a big deal about it. I said I wasn't an asshole, I got them to opt me out, they could have all opted out too. She didn't understand tracking, "they track us anyway," .. "they don't track me. I don't even have any Google services on my phone. I run ad block. ... and even if no one else does what I do, I can help everyone reduce their tracking footprint."

It got heated and she said something retarded and I slapped the table at one point. Then her fat boyfriend said if I hate the table again he'd break my nose. I apologized for hitting the table, but I reminded him it was her girlfriend who started all this. It was her who called me an asshole!

The subject was changed and we moved on. Everyone else was nice.

...I don't feel good about tonight. I rarely see that couple, but If I see them again, I'm going to start, "hey, it's the guy who threatened to break my nose."

One of my best friends is dating someone new. He hasn't had a girlfriend in years and she seems really nice. I'm really happy for him and I try to remember that about tonight .. but I'm not happy about tonight. I really hate people in general right now.
