there are only two circumstances wherein a grown man should call another grown man 'buddy';
1. if you want to fight
2. if you want to condescend, before you fight
“Buddy” is an interesting term because there’s a generational gap
If anybody over 50 calls you buddy
He’s just being nice
If anybody under 50 calls you buddy
He’s being max level condescending
And borderline inviting a physical altercation
How the pro shop employee looks at me when I’m on time, dressed appropriately, ready to pay, and causing absolutely no issues. (I’m in my 20’s so he automatically hates me for some reason)
