So I was at this coffee shop and I was ordering a coffee and talking to the barista. She was wearing a shirt from the local team and I made a comment about how they weren't playing very good. There was s guy in the line behind me and he didn't like my comment and said I should move if I didn't like the team. I went into a tailspin and started telling him that I was going to the local games before he was born. The argument escalated and I thought for a moment it might get physical. The problem was he was much younger than me and I could have been hurt. So I grabbed my coffee and literally ran out the door before anything happened. When I got home I was shaking and was a little frightened that I couldn't control myself a little better. I can't even remember what I said. Lately I've been frustrated and very down about my status in life and I think it spilled over into this conversation. I go to this coffee shop often and I think I might've looked pretty strange - as in I lost control. I always been diplomatic in these situations but this time was different. I don't like what happened and I feel I should go back and apologize to everyone so I can feel comfortable in that place.
