Going down in flames but loving it! [View All]

[HereSince1628]

My single greatest personality fault is fearlessness. When faced with a bullying behavior, I look it in the eye and dare them to act.

I make $6.80 an hour, and have responsibility for a produce dept in a major grocery chain in Milwaukee...Today a soon to be VP of Rainbow Food in Minnesota asked me why a price was displayed with all the rest of the prices rather than 2 inches from the floor. I said because I thought "You'd have to be a midget to look there."

Well, I forgot he was a diminutive excessively adipose personality with a Napoleonic complex. He went ballistic, and leaning into my face he said, "If you ever do that again I'll fire you." I leaned back into his face until our noses were an inch apart and he turned beet red, then I said, "OK...(long pause while pressing into his face}...Sir."

I'll admit to having an exquisite negative personality flaw in this respect.

Faced with bullying behavior I am absolutely fearless, which isn't couragous (fearlessness invokes an ignorance of consequences, while courage requires action within an awareness of risk).

I know I am BAD but it felt SOOOOOO good!

Add my name to the unemployed tomorrow.
