jerk.

One of my biggest pet peeves has got to be rude people in general. Is a pleasant attitude and maybe a smile too much to ask of someone? On Saturday a few friends and I ventured to Woodbury in search of a new bed. Before the bed shopping we stopped to eat. We each placed our order then stepped aside to wait for it to be ready. I filled my cup with what I thought was water, but much to my surprise, knew that it was not when I took a drink — soda water. There were a few people standing around the soda machine area, taking up space like they were lost. So, I decided I'd dump out my soda water and refill it with what I wanted. As I dumped it out, I turned to the dude who was taking up space, smiled, and said to be sure not to use this one (as I pointed to the "one") if he wants water because it is not water. He glared at me, sort of put his hand up and said "go ahead". Woah. Oh, sorry, buddy... I didn't realize you were actually doing something productive by the soda machine since you seemed to just be standing there, thinking about what you wanted to drink or something. Being the sensitive person I am, I was a little hurt by his bitterness towards me! I apologized and stepped back so he could get his drink first since he was apparently in such a rush on a Saturday afternoon. As we got the last of our food and were about to head out, I noticed the crab-ass getting up for something. He scowled at me one more time just so I wouldn't forget how much he hated me. I mean, really? REALLY? If I hated life and this world as much as him I would have told him sorry that his marriage sucked and that he wasn't with his buddies drinking beer and watching football (or whatever it was that he wished it was doing) instead of eating at Chin's with his wife and kid. Asshole.
