How do you deal with an irrational, socially inept moron?
a) Be the mature one. Ignore and/or pretend like he/she doesn’t exist.
b) Stoop to his/her level and yell back in the most childish way you can think of.
c) Kick them.
d) Create a Venn Diagram outlining similarities between he/she and a pathetic loser.
e) Throw a pie in their face.
f) B to E
In a world where things would go un-punishable, I would definitely go for option f). (Evil grin).
Unfortunately, I’m too cowardly (or sensible?) to stir up trouble, so I’ll restrict my anger to thoughts and fantasies : D
What would you do?
PS. If I’ve scared off anyone with my psychotic rant, apologies. There are only so many ‘constructive’ ways one can express their anger : )
Have to admit that it’s mostly a milder version of B. Occasionally, the EQ in me rises to the occasion and I engage in an almost condescending but calm logical admonishment. Catches them totally off-guard and you can almost see that fleeting look of guilt. But, resisting the temptation to dive straight into B is hard work!
