it was likely the worst thing I ever did but I was around 15-16 I think. That weird phase in life, where one is not really matured yet, but faces greater responsibilities.
Also no need to act all high and mighty, maybe not so extreme but there is always at least one time where you just could not control your anger. It does not mean its right, but at least once you just lose your cool and there is nothing you can do about it.
This reminds of the example of my friend in grade 12. In my History class the teacher gave out free candy and there was like a mini riot. My friend says "your all barbarians, its only free candy!". A week latter in chemistry class the teacher gave out free treats, and guess what he was the first one to get the treats.
The point, its easy to talk.
Plus it was stupid but I would imagine if the lady acts like that to everyone she likely has experienced worse.
Plus well in my parents culture back home, it is generally widely allowed to slap someone if they offend you. So I have in my head, that I do not take crap from people. However I should have call the manager and dealt with it in a more civilized manner.
I may be a peaceful man, but I admit I have a hothead, however it has cooled considerably since then.
Now I yell at bastards that come to our family store, that pay to watch a film say it does not work and then want a different movie as a replacement, why not the same one???
Maybe perhaps I should say what fully happened...
It was around 9:30pm, no one was on the floor apart from one lady at the counter. Business depot is mostly a ghost town during the weekdays. I needed a certain graphing calculator and checked there were none that I wanted,
I said in the general polite way, "excuse me, I was looking for a certain calculator and its not there, do you have it."
She of course the lady who could care less about her job just wanted to get home by 10pm and said "I do not know about that section"
I said can you get someone to help me...
Then she utter those words that God knows why made me turn into the Green hulk. In a split second, I went from being a normal respectful man, into a bastard.
