@Giles In general I have a very long fuse and have only ever lost my temper a couple of times in my life, but I believe I’d have ended up getting arrested in that scenario

[Giles]

In hindsight, there were so many ways I could have handled it better, that is, make him look like an even more complete cunt, but in the heat of the moment, I failed....

@tody reminds me of a joke about Liverpudlians:

Q: What do you call a scouser in a suit?
A: The defendant.

I'm surprised. that in Britain someone else looks at appearance. This is an eternal problem in Russia. Here everyone is judged by their clothes. I work at a car service station. Somehow, between my affairs, I decided to drop by the bank to pay off the loan. I was wearing overalls. The security guard stopped me. Dress appropriately and come again. I exploded with obscene words and the wrath of the Roman gods)) Then I demanded to call the chief manager. They let me in)) The same thing happened in the supermarket. Fucking clothes!! Mother fuck

[tody]

@neph93 That's hilarious, although I have never been to Liverpool. Seems they don't have any lawyers there?

[ARNC]

@Walery-Smirnoff we have 101 ways to judge someone on their appearance and the same again when they open their mouth!

[DeeDee85]

@Giles I think you handled it rather well! Better than I would have handled it anyway I’m sure he felt like a complete cunt.. some people just need to get off their high horse and mind their own friggin business.

[Tago Mago]

@tody maybe they don't have enough?

To celebrate my 60th birthday, Paula and I did a round-the-worlder. We went business class because it's actually pretty good value compared to economy (coach to the heathens). Boarding a BA flight, the steward greeted me and without asking to see my boarding pass, pointed me to economy. He got a boarding pass in the face too......

Also,What do you call a drummer in a 3 piece suit?…The defendant!

[Tago Mago]

@Giles How was the rest of the flight? Especially attentive service?

[Giles]

Amazingly attentive

[Brian]

It’s like the millionaire walking into a Ferrari garage in flip flops shorts and a tshirt and being left unattended and not spoken to even though they could buy any of the cars there ( well not quite if you know how super car sales work ) and the tyre kicker in a suit getting all the attention

[IrishHeart]

@Brian you do have to be careful kicking tyres in flip flops!

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Brian I work at BMW service. Or rather, a former BMW service. Regular clients are officials, thieves, hooligans and swindlers. This audience in any clothes behaves like complete freaks. If you knock on his wheel, they’ll drag him to court or take him to the forest to talk)

[Brian]

Don’t get me started on the super car rorte the dealers over the world run it’s almost as bad as the mafia in some ways

[jerkules]

I have a work trip to the US that I’m dreading next week, the only silver lining being the BA business flights I’ve managed to wangle. Never flown business, and fully expect something similar will happen to me when boarding.

[Giles]

Hahahahahaha

[neph93]

@tody you could probably find an area/city in the US (?) which would apply. I won’t show my ignorance and suggest one.

I'm creating a performance improvement plan for one of my direct reports because he "talks too much and farts too loud and it's creating a distracting environment".
