Man, people can be pissy!

So, yesterday there was an ad on craigslist for free stuff (leftovers from an estate sale). We figured, what the hey, we'll go and see what there is. OK, I realize that it's free. And I realize it was first come, first served, but really!!! I was standing next to the stuff that Tom was taking to the car (some nut/bolt organizers and a big fan), and some lady came up and bent down to look at them. I let her know, very nicely, that we were loading those. In fact, my exact words were "Oh, I'm sorry...we were going to take those, but I think there might be some more in the back of the garage." She looked at me like I had just insulted her mother and said "It's supposed to be whatever you can carry out and you're obviously not carrying them right now." Did I mention I was holding my son? Tom got back to grab them before I bit her head off, but I did let her know that if that was the case, perhaps she should go speak with the lady who didn't bring a truck but was claiming the furniture (not that I wanted it, I just wanted to be pissy right back at her).

Throw in the stampeding people, the arguing over who saw what first, and having to dig through boxes of basically trash and I'm reminded why I try to steer clear of things like this. *sigh*

Sounds like that lady was a big fan of that stuff. But maybe she was a nut. If I were there, I would have wanted to bolt.

I here you. A guy beats up his grandfather and then gets mad at me for arresting him? WTF

You definitely handled that idiot very well, I don't think I would have been able to have such restraint as you. The nerve of some people.

That sounded like a excellent moment to demonstrate the finer points of a brachial stun.

I wonder what other long hard cylinder type objects Jenna may be dreaming about?

My answer ," How about if I watch some EMTs carry your sorry ass out of here on a bed with wheels because your oblivously an asshole right now." People really do suck.
