Did you ever learn to read, dummy? And I can’t think of a worse insult on the SDMB than “dummy”.

I didn’t want her to be scared of me, I _said_ it was stupid for her to be scared of me.

**Waverly** ----I **did** talk to her. And my so-called “mini-tantrum” with the “i”, **Waverly** consisted of telling her that she was “very rude” in an ordinary voice. No profanity, no obscentity, nothing except my being deeply offended, as I believe that store should make an _effort_ to assist the public.

It’s **Bosda** , not “Bosada”.

PS–you pay for sailors. 😛 :wally

Wow.  
This post is so wrong headed on so many levels I kept praying for it to be a joke.  
Turns out it IS a joke, though Bosda doesn’t seem to be aware of that.

And if they don’t, they are obvious deficient as human beings. I mean, who hasn’t heard of the great and immortal Boss of da tricolor or whoever this twinkleturd is.

You know, most kids grow out of this stage after the “terrible twos.”

Considering your reaction, she was not dumb at all.  
Where to start? Maybe with the language – and I don’t mean just your all too free used of the word bitch.  
You are phrasing all of this in terms of what SHE did – i.e., that she was afraid.  
Let’s put this in terms of what YOU did – namely YOU FRIGHTENED HER.  
And if you did, then the proper thing for any sane adult without a lot of issues would be to stop doing what was frightening her. Instead, you took offense, like a child. Well, it isn’t always about you, m’kay?

> [@](#):

So, do you know everything about this woman? Do you know if perhaps she has ever been assaulted? Robbed? Stalked? Do you know for certain that there had never been a robbery in that mall? (Read the paper sometimes and you’ll find that LOTS of robberies happen during the day with people around.

> [@](#):
>
> **Oh, is it the FUCKING COLOR OF MY CLOTHES?!? BLACK SCARES YOU? Guess you better not look at your average business suit!**

So now your trying to reduce her reaction to your idiot behavior to some sort of stereotype so you can reclaim the moral high ground.  
I’m not seeing it.

> [@](#):
>
> **Tell me you little twat, are the men who come into your store less likely to rob or rape you if they wear red or blue t-shirts?**

Tell you what, little prick, they’re less likely to do so if they don’t have such obvious anger management issues.

And hopefully none as stupid as yours.

Then we should all call and praise this woman for not calling security on you. Or may chastise her for it.

Bosda, find a new bookstore… and this time pick up a book and learn something, you slope-browed neandertoad. And keep your shambling form in front of the counter where it belongs. The clerk may be good enough to rotate the monitor in your direction if you have the wherewithal to ask politely.

Picture books are normally near the front, FYI.

I’m certain that you are experienced in finding them, runt.

By “runt”, I refer to your intellectual status, of course.

I’m glad you decided on the worst insult on this board, and I feel honored that you would use it on me.

Now, perhaps I missed something. I was unsure why you would feel so upset that this new clerk does not know you, and would feel uncomfortable with a stranger trying to come around the counter. So I took it upon myself to call Waldenbooks’ HQ and asked them to fax me a copy of their Employee Orientation Handbook.

And there it was, right on page 47, second paragraph:

“There is a man named **Bosda** , who frequents our establishment quite often. Please see below picture of him. Memorize this face, as your inability to recognize him and/or unwillingness to allow him to come behind the counter will be grounds for immediate termination of employment.”

However, you need not worry, **Bosda**. I called their HR department and told them that there was an assistant manager who didn’t recognize you. They put me on three-way so I could hear them fire her. She shall trouble thee no more.

* * *

People like you piss me off. I remember when I first started working the late shift at my local gym, there was this one assclown who tried to walk right through the front door and into the locker room. When I stopped him and asked him to show me his card he said, “I’ve been coming here for 10 years! Everyone knows me!”

“Right, but I’m new and don’t know you,” I said. “I need to see your card.”

He didn’t have it on him, since nobody had asked him for it for a long time. I wouldn’t let him work out.

The next day he came in with it, but he also went and complained to my boss about me, saying he would take his business elsewhere. My boss told him that club policy was to show your card every time you come in. He never left like he claimed he would. Now when I run into him there (I am no longer an employee) he just gives me an evil look.

You are just like him. An arrogant, small-minded, self-centered jagoff who thinks the world revolves around him. Like I said the first time, get over yourself.

Well, I’ve been reading this thread over the last few days, and I think **Lord Ashter** ’s post just about sums it up. Sorry **Bosda** , but your attitude in that shop was uncalled for. Calling her a bitch was childish. And now, this thread is turning into a pile-on.

Something occurred to me after I posted. It’s when he says:

You were wearing mirrored sunglasses **indoors?** No wonder she was spooked.

When Charlie Brown finally snaps …

\<hijack\>

Just something I’ve noticed. People who say “I’m taking my business elsewhere” usually don’t or, alternatively, are customers you’re glad aren’t around anymore.

Re-read the post.

I called her a bitch—_in this thread_.

Not to her face. :rolleyes:

Maybe she became terrified of you because you checked out “How to disembowel bookstore attendents while they ring you up-part one of 27”.
