Right?! There's such opportunity there and you just can't go there with certain people. I'm lucky to have a couple friends who enjoy it.
I was in line at 1 am at Walmart and this dude in line was being a **** to the cashier so I told him to shut up. I mean, come on, woman's just doing her job and isn't the creator of store policy. So, anyway, we exchange a few words with each other and then he says, "Would you just go and die?"
I pointed at my neck, "Tried that, didn't sit well with me." (I have a huge scar on my neck from surgery where they had to remove a tumor.) "Any more questions, or can we be done with it so that you can let this woman do her job?" Honestly, he didn't know what to do. He just shut up, whispered some profanity and left. I'm not sure how humorous this was but it had the dude behind me rolling. He gave me a high-five before I finished checking out.
