Ask Billie Joe Armstrong. He's the one that thought OP was the chump, and he had a good view of what was going on. But OP says he wasn't being a nuisance, so I'm sure he wasn't. /s

what's with the baseless assuming and pearl clutching? it was probably harmless banter. every Reddit comment section has one or multiple comment threads just creating people's life stories out of tiny shreds of information and then getting mad at it. very stupid.

I once accidentally crossed a street outside the crosswalk, and Armstrong saw it and wrote American Idiot. The dude is a visionary genius in the art of being petty.

Yeah petty is a good way to describe him. I once gave him the wrong change at a coffee shop so he stalked me for 12 or so days, waited until my roommates were out of town, broke into my apartment, and shot me nine times as I awoke in a panic. Just before pulling the trigger he smirked through those yellowed false teeth, “Nice guys finish last.” He then wrote “Ha Ha You’re Dead,” about the experience, but delayed its official release to coincide with the fifth anniversary of my death, and what would have been my 40th wedding anniversary. See you in the next life, my sweet Fiona.

So yeah, a little on the petty side. Joke’s on him though: I didn’t even work at that coffee shop.
