73. LOL - I've worked in many a job where I've run into "assholes".

I'd venture most people do. You learn from it, and you toughen up. If this was the worst encounter this young lady ever has (who, by the way, was twisting her hair and snapping her gum while waiting on me), then she's leading a charmed life, indeed. Besides, I asked nothing more of her than she did of me..."Who are you?" Had she not called over her supervisor, it would have been between the two of us, over and done, with possibly a chuckle and a "Nice to meet you".

Here's just a few examples why I'm not a "snowflake" today:
One executive boss I had would stand next to me as I was sitting at my desk and fart in my face. When he didn't like or got bored by what I was relating to him, he run the zipper of his fly up and down as his way of saying "hurry up". Same guy would come to my desk as I was having my lunch and want me to make copies or something similar. When I'd return to my desk, his cigar ashes would be in my salad and his cigar butt in my coffee cup. On Monday mornings, I'd arrive at my desk to find his toenail clippings on my desktop. HR wasn't an option - my boss was CEO and owned the company.

For a few years, I also worked a second job as a supermarket cashier from 7-11 p.m. One night a guy and wife were in my lane and as I was checking them out, guy loudly says to me "How stooo-pid does someone your age have to be to have this as a job?" My supervisor was working the register next to mine, and I could see his head snap back as this transpired. I calmly told guy customer that this was my second job and all the funds I earned at it went into my investment account and that I'd be happily retired, laying on the beach as he was still knotting his tie for his office job. My supervisor laughed and gave me a thumbs up, afterwards congratulating me for handling myself without emotion.

Assholes? Yeah, I've met assholes. Somehow I managed to live a life regardless.

"Being an asshole to her might have made you feel good..."

Having now been called an asswipe and an asshole in this thread, please note that I don't respond in kind. Did calling me an asshole make you feel good?

Peace.
