    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.

    Don't act like a 15 year old then.
    How is it interesting? If you don't want people to reply then state that in your op.
    Throw the rattle out of the pram if it makes you feel better.

    Last week a guy came in to where Iwork, ordered food and refused to pay for it . I explained that I cannot give it to him until he pays for it. He ranted at me for ten minutes calling me a b*tch etc and I stayed calm and told him I would have to ask him to leave if he didn't stop ranting.

    He apologised, paid and sat and ate his food - he then stood up and purposely "cleaned" his table onto the floor with his arm and then laughed. So as he was leaving the shop I just said " Excuse me, sorry, excuse me" to get his attention and when he turned I just shouted down " By the way, your a prick"

    It felt goood :D

    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.

    But where else does she go to get delicious cookies? I have principles but some sacrifices for the sake of them just aren't worth it

    The last time I lost my temper was when someone almost ran me over at a pedestrian crossing.

    I pressed the button, waited for the green man to light up and started to walk across the road. I got half way across to where there's a little island in the middle of the road and was about to continue walking when someone decided to take advantage of the fact that all the other cars were stopped and flew around the corner. I was going to keep walking, stupidly thinking that they wouldn't actually run over someone. They didn't stop though so I had to jump back onto the island. When I did get across I shouted at them "you fucking idiot" and pointed at the light which was still red.

    I told a French woman on a flight from Shanghai to Auckland to go f*ck herself a while back. I just saw red and lost it, she deserved it though. She was just nasty.

    Except then I had to sit next to her for 12 hours, I wasn't really thinking ahead with that one. :o

    I have a feeling it will happen on Thursday, around mid day, at D4 hotel. Place was closed 'coz it flooded. Stayed closed for refurb. Usually when places are closed like that, they wreck the machines in the premises. I have 4 machines, that's if they're still on the walls. Idiot of a manager, will probably ask me, what machines!

    Yep, it goes back to the foundation of M&S really.
    Marks & Spencer (M&S) was founded in 1884 by a Russian Jewish refugee Michael Marks. Since then, the UK-based firm has been linked inextricably to Zionism.

    Last time I lost my temper was at two young school girls who were strolling along a busy road which I ahppened to be cycling on. They were looking the wrong way and tried to cross right in front of me - I had to swerve into traffic and as I passed them I shouted (something I never do) "Get out of the f$%king road"

    Now I did lose my temper but I like to think I gave them enough of a fright not to do something as stupid again.

    In the Meteor shop when I was returning my phone for the 3rd time in a row with the same fault. They wouldnt give me a new phone and just wanted to send it off again to be fixed. I lost it at the guy behind the counter, probably shouldnt have as he was just doing his job. I did apologize to him afterwards.

    It really doesn't sound like you are.

    Sorry OP, but you really haven't covered yourself in any glory here.

    To be honest, if that was my daughter I would've made sure that she came back and apologised to the guy for bumping into him.

    in fairness the guy referred to her child as a brat
    Jesus that brat............

    The guys standing in a door way, the child is obviously excited about what they're getting - they're not expecting someone to be standing there............in the excitement it probably didn't even register to them what had happened - its a bit of a jump to label them a brat for that.

    Personally I reckon the guy is reasonable enough in expecting a polite mannerly "excuse me"/"sorry"/whatever - but he lost the right to that once he labelled someones child a brat..........i don't know what I'd have done but I wouldn't have been happy about that particular part. I have expected him to take it back though.

    "One time I was getting a thing from like a shop or something and this guy was all like, no way dude, we don't have any left. And I was all like, but bro I came all the way down to like get that thing and stuff and he was all laughing and like, no way dude, not happening. But like I was on my break and I couldn't come back tomorrow so I needed to get it now and I could see that there was like one in like reserved or something for some other dude so I was like, gimme that one and he wouldn't and I got like totally miffed...."

    That's all I could take. I told the guy to shut up, got off the bus at the next stop after I never take the bus in the Valley any more.
