Just got back from a 10 day cruise in the Caribbean. One thing happened on the ship that I want to share.
I was in line to get a hotdog and fries from the grill up on deck by the pool. It is lunch time and very busy, the dogs are really good. I was third in line behind two other older men like me. Actually the ship only had older men like me. Anyway, the guy first in line got his 2 hot dog and fries plates from the guy behind the counter, and the asshole states loudly and with attitude, "cant these guys understand, I dont want fries!". He then tilts both plates and pushes the fries off the plates right on to the counter. The poor guy behind the counter just says "nooo", in a confused manner, like why did you do that look on his face. But, he cant and doesnt say a word to the asshole.
Now the help on the ship doesnt understand, they speak basic food serving english, thats it. They work hard and dont complain. Most are from third world countries. They all go out of there way to be nice even though they dont understand much. The asshole didnt have to do that. Now the server had to stop the line, and clean up the ******** mess.
The guy in front of me, and behind the asshole, turns and looks at me with a disgusted smirk on his face. So I say loudly,"some people just have to be an asshole". Loud enough for the asshole to hear as he was putting ketchup on his dogs. So I repeat even louder, "you dont have to be an asshole". I am sure he heard because I could see his back tighten up.
The asshole turns and says to me as he is walking away, "who asked you?". So I barked bark at him, "I am telling you!".
And that was it. Now I felt bad afterword because your not supposed to talk to others like that. But, he was an asshole.
