I don't get this thing you have about class warfare. None of the poor people I've ever known (including those who were homeless, mentally ill, and/or both) was a fraction badly behaved as this Fred fellow, and certainly I've known some rich folks who weren't the politest. I have no idea what Fred's income is, if he has an income. He is not "acting like a poor person;" he is acting like a jerk, and contrary to what you may believe, most poor people are not jerks.
Socioeconomic class is neither an excuse nor an explanation for bad behavior.

That would be a cool door plate. (Although I still think "PORN KING" would be cooler.)
