when was the last time you lost your temper in public

Im a pretty easy going woman, but today i lost my temper and yelled at a man in the middle of a store! It had been a long time since ive gotten that annoyed.

Today my 5 year old niece had a flu shot and i promised her a cupcake from M N S as they are her fave. So as we were walking towards M N S it stared to rain so we ran in.

A man and a woman were standing about 5 feet inside the door blocking our way and my niece was running ahead of me and hit off the man by accident. He moved and she kept on running. As i followed her (he had not reliased i was with her ) he says "Jesus that brat has no manners, her mother would want to teach her how to say excuse me"

I had passed him about 2 seconds before i reliased what he had said, so i turned around and yelled out "Oh i am SO SORRY but if you were not taking up the whole doorway gossiping my niece would not have ran into you, so ill say it for her .... EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!" . "You happy now!!!!!!!!!"

And i walked off, got some odd looks in the shop but i didnt care.

He has a point, her mother should teach her some manners. You could learn some as well.

Saila · 06-12-2011 01:03AM

are you working in the marks n spencer marketing dept? you are drawing an awfull lot of attention to M N S there

Bigcheeze · 06-12-2011 01:03AM

I rarely lose my temper except for everytime I have to deal with my local Ulster Bank branch. They're such incompetent morons they just set me off.

No one is saying he is right but a little bit of manners goes a long way.
I don't blame the child but you were rude.

Saila · 06-12-2011 01:06AM

never, cool as a cucumber me :cool:

and if I do its never at anyone else, only objects

oh there was a time, I was going down a hill on my bicycle at about 50km/hr and a ****ing dog ran out in front of me and nearly killed me. I let out the most guttural roar/scream you will ever hear outside of an arnie movie
man did I need that

That looks useful. I presume it can also work with any dwarves or midgets I might capture?

Don't bribe your child with food. It won't end well.

I missed my train home last Friday, I was after having the day from hell already and this was the straw that broke the camels back. I swore loudly while standing in front of the timetable board for about 20-25secs before regaining my composure.

A few people moved away slowly, they must have got a fright.:D other than that nobody seemed to notice.
Once I'd calmed down and feeling a little embarrassed, I got a drink at the bar and made alternative arrangements.

doesnt bother me if you think that

he was blocking the entrance, a child runs in from the rain and into him as he was blocking the way in, and he calls her a brat. I wasnt taking that when it was his fault

Rarely lose my temper, but sometimes I pretend I'm losing it... Peace through superior intimidation

Only once ever have I lost my temper (including with friends/family) and that was to an old woman in Super Valu.

I was in the express line. The line was long. I have a personal hatred for people who stand too close to you in the line poking you with their shopping basket so I left a space between myself and the person in front.

Old woman behind me starts PUCKING me in the back telling me to move forward, as if the fcuking line would move quicker that way.

I turned around, looked her in her beady old eyes and told her to stop pucking me and did she expect me to jump on the persons back.

She got really flustered and said "would you look at the state of your clothes" to me!

Oh the bitch, I was very red at this stage and then I spotted a girl from work further down the line pissing herself so I just turned around and held my position.

She was a nasty little old woman.

Last time was soon after the codeine regulations came in and I was suffering with a serious amount of pain - got a lift to the pharmacy because I couldn't drive myself I was writhing around in pain so much, and they had the audacity to try and refuse me neurofen plus.
I went apesh1t and got them in the end.
I have not been back to that pharmacy since! - Far too embarrassed of my behaviour!

Dont speak to me like a 15 year old ok.

I didnt start this thread to get praise or abuse for what i did, i started it as i though it might make an intresting topic. If you have an issue with this thread talk to a mod. Im discussing this no further with you.

Stripey Cat · 06-12-2011 01:20AM

MARKS and SPENCERS directly support Israel don't they?

Other retailers do business with them, but M&S go out of their way to stock Israeli goods and even hand over direct cash to the Israeli government too.

I once met an English woman who worked in refugee camp in Jordan and she wouldn't even step inside an M&S shop.

when was the last time you lost your temper in public
