Title: Who is the asshat?

Fault points:

  • The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time.
  • "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"
  • "Got stoned once and fucked a parrot.  Just wondering if you were my daughter."

There is not enough information to determine whether the man was staring at her because he disliked her, liked her, etc. and also no reason as to why he was staring at her, e.g. perhaps reminiscing times when he was young, wild, punk, whatever.

"What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"
This seems to be a blatant or blunt judgmental attack in which the girl assumes he was staring at her for negative or unaccepting reasons.

"Got stoned once and fucked a parrot.  Just wondering if you were my daughter."
Humor ftw ^_^

Some people consider staring to be offensive per se, regardless of the reason.

I don't think the girl was concerned about sexual objectification considering her response of "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"  It seems more likely the girl had assumed the guy was looking at her because of punk-liek fashion/appearance standing out or as being unique, and therefore attracting attention, which is what she was referring to as "doing something wild."
