Re: The cranky thread
I lost my temper in public today. I was already cranky over yet another sleepless night, and I had to get to work earlier than usual today. That makes me even crankier.
I was able to get the rest of the afternoon off. I was walking to the bus stop, when some jackass jostles me without so much as an "excuse me." I decide to return the favor. I'm about to elbow him at the curb when another jackass in a van cuts across me, almost hitting me.
I scream out, "F***ERS!" At this time most of my ire was directed at the driver, but the first guy heard the rest of my tirade. I let loose the F-bomb one more time, and he crossed the street rather quickly. Then the train came. All the bystanders decided to embark away from me.
