Angry people crack me up. The other day, I had a guy sooo angry at me, I seriously thought that he was going to take a shit right there in the middle of my store. It was friggin hilarious. I don’t want to get into why he was so angry, … since this xanga is supposed to somewhat anonymous (hey, … I try, whatever), and also because I’m feeling too lazy to go into detail, … but his reactions alone are enough to make for an entertaining story. I kid you not though, … the guy was soooo mad, that he literally started shaking, yelling uncontrollably like a person with turrets syndrome, and just pacing around grabbing flyers on the table and putting it down. I mean, the guy was really out of his mind!
I guess I really didn’t help the situation by laughing at his face and telling him that he was an idiot for being so mad. But seeing him get so angry just made me want to taunt him more. So I mentioned that he had some anger management issues, and that he needed some therapy. He didn’t appreciate that very much at all, and so he decided to get back at me by …. *gasp* …. flicking off the lights! As he yelled, … “I’m not threatening??!! Huh??!! Yeah??!! I’m not threatening??!!” Which made me actually point and laugh at his face.
This isn’t to say that I don’t get angry, though. I obviously do. Hell, … what do you expect, I’m a Korean guy. But it’s funny when the tables are turned and you see someone just THAT much over the top. This one time, I remember, I was stuck in grid lock for such a long time, … I thought I was going to lose my mind! I was honking at everyone, just yelling and cursing, when I see a delivery van go past me at an intersection just completely crazy. It was literally one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. The driver was this little latino guy and he was driving along and seemed to be pulling out his own hair because he was so frustrated, and yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs looking into his hands with that crazy look in his eyes. I couldn’t hear what he was saying because his windows were up, … but my superior lip reading abilities allowed me to make out that he was yelling, …. “something something PUTA!!!”
After I saw that, … I was like, … “Damn, …. that guy is ANGRY.” “sheesh, … it’s only traffic.”
On a related note, … does anyone remember the little skit that they had on sesame street or was it the electric company? Anyways, it’s a skit where there was this plumber and this parrot. The plumber knocks on the door but no one’s home except a parrot. The parrot hears the knock and asks, … “Whoooo is it?” And the plumber, not knowing that it’s a parrot, and not a real person, says “It’s the plumber, … I’ve come to fix the sink.”
After a moment of silence, the plumber knocks again, to which the parrot answers again, … “Whoooo is it?” To which the plumber answers again, “it’s the plumber. I’ve come to fix the sink.” This goes on for a few more times, with the plumber getting visibly more an more frustrated that no one is opening the door, until finally the plumber says one last time, … “it’s, …. the, … plumber. I’ve, … come, … to, … fix, … the sink!!” And then just dies. I don’t know, … that skit just popped into my head a few weeks back and for some reason, it’s just constantly been on my mind. Strange.

hahahahahahahaah taht sounds like it wuolda been crazy funny to witness.
at least that guy didn’t get distructive or violent or whatever. I have to say I’m definitely wondering what made him so angry.
that traffic description is classic. everybody hates traffic. i love that someone else’s hissy-fit snapped you out of yours.
Don’t forget the router.
What’s with the different fonts?
did you REALLY point (and laugh) at his face? haha – that’s a funny image.
you can read lips? cool! can you read this? t-o-u-r-e-t-t-e-s
my “grape stompers” are soon to be your “grap stompers”…. enjoy!
i guess he felt like he had to show off his power, because he was feeling stupid. turning off the lights makes a big statement (NOT) haha
dude, road rage is out of control sometimes…i can’t understand it. why are you so mad…we’re all stuck in traffic.
usually, when i get road rage, i start punching the steering wheel. but one time, i was so fucking pissed, i wanted to kick something too. i lifted up my left leg, in my beat up corolla, and started kicking the air vent next to the window. it is now permanently stuck on air-blowing-against-the-window. now come read my xanga biatch.
kill them with the mocking sort of curling smile… i get road rage, i have anger management issues. i think i can relate. aigo.
