I feel like a jerk..

I would not go to a fast food place that only had one drink fountain. #republican self reliance

The only time in my life I actually went off on someone face to face he totally deserved it.

We lived in Kansas for a few years. Hubby went first and I followed 2 years later because it took me that long to find a job. He rented a crappy apartment and took 2 of our cats. I still had 2 plus we had Molly the dog (source of my screen name). I move up and now we have 4 cats and 1 dog in a small apt. Needless to say it wasn't long before that eviction notice was posted on our door.

I called around to several apt complexes informing them of the type/number of pets we had. Finally talk to a guy who says that's not a problem. We show up for an interview and he's w/the apt manager. She asks about pets; we tell her yes, 4 cats, 1 dog. She looks astounded and says no way.

We start to leave and I turn around and confront the guy shouting at him:

"I TOLD YOU ON THE PHONE HOW MANY PETS WE HAD AND YOU SAID IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. (point to the apt mgr) YOU JUST WASTED HER TIME AND OUR TIME."

As soon as she heard that she shot him a look that would kill. I'll bet I got him fired and if so, I'm glad.

So many words in that first post ... a simple "n/m" would have sufficed.

Seriously though, I handle things like this by not being bashful but also trying to be respectful. In that case I would have left out the fat ass etc... comments but I would have asked them to move. Are you sure it was really 2 minutes, because I think I would have only let that go about 20 seconds.

I would have high fived you. Actually I would have said something way before you. Maybe you shouldn't have called them fat ass and crack head, but oh well.

Probably the worst I've ever done or at least the only time I actually regretted it was at the Wendy's drive through in some town on the middle of no where. Nic and I were on vacation and in her AMG. AMGs only come in automatic transmission. Well we ordered, they got the food wrong so we waited, and waited, and waited. Then the guy at the window says "You should have gotten that car in a manual, I know I would have but I like to have total control of my car." To which I replied "no you wouldn't, first they don't come in manual and second you work at [expletive] Wendys. You will never have to worry about deciding to buy an AMG Mercedes with an auto or manual because you work at [expletive] Wendys."

I felt like a jerk later. kinda.

I checked my watch several times. It seriously took Jabba about 30 seconds to decide between regular Pepsi and Diet. I told you I felt bad about the fat ass and crack head comments, I really don't know what came over me, I never say stuff like that out loud, but I have been having a really tough time with the wife lately, and I think I was projecting my inner anger at the two clueless idiots.
But Boy, that was the best tasting Mt. Dew ever.

Was it necessary to put the guy down because he worked at Wendy's and may never afford a Mercedes?

GDI cant a guy make fun of someone without it being a political statement!

I have a good idea for a movie. American Jerkoff. Everybody acts like a jerk and calls everyone else on their boorish behavior. Later a couple of them trick the FBI into sending them a wire transfer for two million dollars.

What came over you was a couple of self absorbed insecure jerks deciding they were going to stake their claim in the world in front of a Coke machine at your expense. Doesn't make what you said right, but it is understandable and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

if every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite, would have to be right
