Sigh. I am clearly an A-hole

[tmleadr03]

I dropped a package off at kinkos just now. While I was there I needed to use the bathroom so I went back to it and at this location they have the computer stations set up right outside the doors of the bathroom.

I entered and the door slammed behind me. I did my business and left the bathroom. The door slammed again. I was then adressed by a man sitting right in front of the door.

Him: The closer doesn't work on that door.
Me: Ok.
I start to turn and continue on my way.
Him: I would think you could realize that and ease the door shut when you came out, but I guess you just don't care.
He got progressively louder as I continued to walk away.
Me: Nope, but thanks for the heads up.

At this point I see in the window reflections that he is on his feet and following me out of the store. I keep my back to him and walk to my car. I am getting into the car when he walks out of the store about 100 ft behind me yelling.

Him: I have kicked guys asses bigger then you there was no need to be an asshole!

(Side note, those of you whom have met me know that I am NOT a big guy. To brag you have kicked someones ass who is bigger then me is NOT, let me say again NOT a big deal. Nor does it impress me.)

While he continues yelling I am untucking my shirt to free up the pistol I am carrying. I hit the lock on the doors and fire up the car. I had forgotten I was in the businesses car, which means my business name and number is all over the rear window. As I drive away I see him working on his cell phone.

I think my boss is going to get a call about my attitude tomorrow.

Sigh. I am such an asshole.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Was he an employee of the kinkos?

[tmleadr03]

Was he an employee of the kinkos?

Nope, another customer.

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

That dude deserves to be punched in the cock garage for that shit. People are such dicks.

Ps I hope you don't get written up

lol what a dick! You should have called him on it: "you really want to fight me because I let the door slam?" And if he said yes, then pull your shirt up over the handle of your ccw and then say "you sure about that?" and watch him piss himself while he runs away crying.

Of course I wouldn't really advise doing that, but it seemed funny in my head.

Yeah, I hope your boss laughs if you have to tell him the story.

[Ah Pook]

WTH is the man hanging out in front of the Kinkos bathroom?

[tmleadr03]

WTH is the man hanging out in front of the Kinkos bathroom?

That is where this one has the computer desk kiosks.

[sniper7]

I hope your boss fires you and hires someone more caring

[spideyar]

So he was on one of the computers at kinko's chewing people out because the bathroom door "closer" doesn't work? Christ, that guy is taking that "let's see how tough you are when you aren't behind a keyboard" thing a little far. Following someone out to their car and alluding to kicking people's asses is how confrontations start. Internet tough guys, I tell ya.

I'd advise you to take your "business" elsewhere but sounds like you already took care of it!

[Colorado_Outback]

Probably bummed he didn't get invited in..
What a douche.

[USAFGopherMike]

Was he tapping at the door?

[Whistler]

Sounds like his bitch was w/ Kinko's, maybe the counter guy had a big ass... Good for you just letting it slide I tend to handle confrontation poorly but I'm working on it.[handbags]

[USAFGopherMike]

Self-Defense = I felt threatened.

[Big Wall]

I hope you took a dump and crop dusted him on the way out.

[tmleadr03]

Self-Defense = I felt threatened.

I am hoping for his sake he just calls at the most tomorrow. If he shows up it will go very badly and will delay the repairs I have scheduled.

[lpgasman]

Wow, if that makes you an asshole, im a super duper asshole. I would have told him to shove it and if he persisted, I would have sat on him.

[J]

Don't say that. I'll have to come down and stand guard to make sure no work is delayed.

Sounds like you actually dropped off two packages while at Kinkos (or FedEx as it were) ;)

[jhood001]

So let me get this straight -

You opened a door that doesn't belong to you - on two separate occasions, and in both occasions it both opened properly and closed properly? And the only complaint generated from this very common procedure was the level of noise it generated from some guy sitting a computer kiosk? And he felt that it was important enough to mention?

Sounds like he was pissed at something else and focused in on you. I wouldn't pay the incident a second thought. It isn't worth your time or mental energy. That guy isn't going to be calling or paying a visit unless he his absolutely insane.

[tmleadr03]

Don't say that. I'll have to come down and stand guard to make sure no work is delayed.

LOL. Don't worry. I have plenty of zip ties. I will just subdue him, hog tie him and continue working while waiting for the cops.

[USMC88-93]

You and the boss should discuss how best to entertain yourself via the called in complaint. "Thanks sir I think that vehicle was stolen last week" etc......

Hopefully talking to the boss does not leave you with voices in your head.

He followed me to the parking lot. Threatened me. And from the looks of it was taking down my number as I left.

He has clearly shown himself to be at the minimum mildly out of touch with reality.

On the bright side, my shop phone voicemail gets transcribed and e-mailed to me and no one has called or left a message.

[Trout Hunter]

Sounds like a pretty normal level headed reaction. Has to be more to the story.......meat gas or bean gas me think or the guy was just on his period. Only thing that irritates that type of idiot more is to start laughing at their antics.

[BPTactical]

If your boss yells at you for that he is clearly a bigger asshole than you!

[Shootersfab]

I always heard you were a dick!


Haha what a fing tard! Some people need an ass kicking!!!!!

[TFOGGER]

If he calls, have fun with it. Play "The Boss" and tell him that that f-ing slacker is done as soon as he gets back from lunch, despite his pregnant wife and 4 kids. This is the straw that broke the camel's back, etcetera... Make him feel like a total douche (which he is), right up to the point that he's begging you not to have yourself executed...

I told the wife I was going to pretend to beat my employee over this. She said that was taking it too far.

[Irving]

I think you should ask him to quit yelling the whole time. Each time you ask him get more and more frustrated with his rudeness. "Why are you yelling? I'm not yelling?" All Don Logan style.

[Ronin13]

Sounds like a self-appointed position... Much like Obama's "Best Prezidunt Evar" position he holds himself as.

So tmleadr, no openings in the next few months? I might need my brakes worked on, and I don't want some idiot "nice guy" working on my car. [Beer]

HA! I love that movie! That's how I always want to imagine Ben Kingsley, not the limp wristed ambassador he played in "Rules of Engagement."

Booked till middle of next week. And that is as of right now at home with the phone not ringing. By the end of the week I will be scheduling in the second week of July.

Cool. Oh and I'm willing to bet, knowing how people are, he wouldn't have done anything to you... people actually go out of their way to avoid confrontation, especially when it comes to fists, all bark, no bite. I constantly throw the Kevin Smith style calm-relaxed "Do something" and no one really does anything.

Get his name, number and email...put his email on ...all the porno sites you can!

FTFY....
Remind me never to slight you. That's so funny though.

[KestrelBike]

Tell your boss the same story and he should hopefully laugh.

Also, what kind of "badass" who can kick large peoples' asses can't handle a door slamming shut? What a dickless psychopath.

[rondog]

Once you were in your car you shoulda blew him a kiss, he might have popped a vein over that.

[DireWolf]

Speaking of "badass", that reminds me of a movie that I just watched called "Bad Ass"...actually a somewhat related theme (insofar as the main character just wants to go about his business but dipshits keep interfering with that), I definitely recommend it to anyone that has Netflix.....

[ChunkyMonkey]

When a door got slammed, a door slammer got blamed, but when there is a shooting, how come everyone blame the guns!?!?!?

[UrbanWolf]

I guess he is calling because your ass offended his eyes.

I believe his boss will absolutely love the bathroom monitor's antics and response. Hell, he may even join and post here about them

Constantly huh?

[Mazin]

Maybe he was a toe tapper and he was mad you didn't give him enough time to follow you in?

Btw props on not leaving your pistol in the bathroom!

I've met your boss. You're fucked. [Spank]

[Ronin13]

Okay, maybe not constantly, but quite often I throw it out... For context here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PBlA_fsi_VE#t=103s

I am glad you did not flash the grip of your concealed, we're having enough truoble with the A-holes in the Gubment and the left...

If he had made it to the door of the car he would have been looking down the barrel of my pistol.

This. ;-)

Good lord, I am telling my boss about this hostile work environment!!!

Is that what you are calling it now? [LOL]
