yeah, pretty much. I’m older (50) and not at all into any bar/fighting scene, but the guy was a total dick. Probably 25 or so. Hard to explain, just like rude, kinda called me a loser for being 50 going to hostel. I am also from USA so a ‘vacation’ to Miami seemed like a joke to him. I was kinda like, I work buddy, pay a mortgage, had the pandemic the last 3 years and hadn’t traveled, this was kinda my first vacation.
Other things, like a group of 4 of us would be talking, and you know, any time you speak he just talks to the other people to redirect the conversation or something. There was a french girl (they weren’t traveling together), about his age, who I think at first kinda did like me. But she spoke very little English so, for me (along with the age gap) it was just too much of a obstacle. But we still kinda tried to talk and use google translate etc. In fact, she actually approached me (not me to her), and we’d have a brief convo, then he’d jump in in French and it was pretty apparent he was being obnoxious & putting me down to her. Again, I’m 50 years old I’m not getting into fights in hostel bars over a girl.
Night #2 I sat out by myself rolled a joint right outside and smoked it with no F’s given. Let the 3 of them and others have their (non)fun. Could care less.
Thanks, pretty much.
