<![CDATA[Work today]]>So I am at work today and there is 2 little kids jumping around on our display tractors, nearly tripping several times. Mind you, this is right next to a pull behind aerator...

I ask the kids to quit politely so they don't get hurt.
I come back ten minutes later the them doing the same thing
"OK Come on now guys, try to settle down a little, you could really hurt yourselves" The mom apologizes and takes the kids to the car.
All of a sudden some guy turns around and gets literally 3 inches from me, standing toe to toe and says "Why don't you talk to me like that, huh?" In my mind I'm going who the fuck is this guy?

Guy- "You think you can talk to my kids like that and have no consequences"
Me- "Sir I was just asking your kids to tone it down so they didn't get hurt"
Guy- Yeah, sure you were. You know your a jackass thinking you can just bully my kid around like that. Why don't you tell me to do something, huh?"
Me- "Sir, I don't appreciate your tone of voice. If you would like to continue this conversation, I'm sure my manager will be glad to sort things out with you."
Guy *grabs my shoulder- *"Your pretty tough calling your manager. You would do that you pussy.

I grabbed him by the wrist, told him to keep his hands to himself and then walked away.

Guy- "Yeah Walk away you pussy"

All this from a 40 yr old dude. What the fuck is all I have to say.:icon_scratch:

I did not imply that you can't handle it. I stated it as a general statement.

It's your choice to work in an environment like that. Nobody has a gun to your head. If you can't cope with the environment, quit and find a new job.

Smiling the whole time and making small talk. They either get even more pissy, or realize they are being a fuckhead and lighten up. I know I've got enough equity at my jobs with my CS skills, that even if a customer complain, my Sup probably wouldn't even take it seriously.

Did service work in the plumbing field for 7 years and decided it was time to say fuck it. Now I do Programming and IT Support for a medical company 😃 I sit in my office and write people emails if I need something. Otherwise.. I code 😃

Hell, when I was a little kid and I got caught doing something bad, even the neighbor would whoop your ass and when your parents found out they whooped your ass also. Guess what, you didn't screw around after that either.

I remember my first job I had as a shelf stocker and carry out for the local grocery store here in New Rockford. God, some people were just asses and it took all I had to not tell them to fuck off. People know you have to be nice to them or they can get your ass fired and it seems like some of them love to push employees to there limits just to see if they'll crack.

After i kindly told them we do not sell them here, one of them yelled at the top of his lungs @uck you. I told them to leave the store and escorted them to the doors.

When my kids get out of hand at the store i'm not afraid to slap them, i love it when people look funny or say something. Had a lady at walmart start to say something to me once for smacking my youngest on the ass for throwing a toy, she was shocked when i told her to shutup or ill slap her too! :icon_cheers:

I really felt like saying " Well I was watching out for your kids since you obviously don't give a shit about them."

You know with a parent like that the kids will be pieces of shit when they grow up anyones... Its pretty sad how shitty a lot of parents are these days... If I was jumping on something like that when I was little I probably woulda gotten smacked for it...
