What I Heard While I Was Out

I was at Sears earlier today looking around at all the wonderful things I could spend my $30 gift card on. While I was there, this old man started yelling about something. I kept looking around but no matter where I went I could hear this crazy person. Things like, "Ive bought 4 saws, an air compressor and all my tools here!" "Im not going to take it over there youre going to do it and then have it sent to my house!" "My time is precious to me, Im not going all the way home and coming back. If you want it you can pick it up when you bring me a new one."

I was very tempted to say something to this crazy person. I wanted him to hear what the employees, 4 of them by this point, wished they could have said. I didnt however, not wanting to make things worse, as they very likely could have become. After about 30 minutes of yelling the old man was finally satisfied. After he left, the employee who was receiving most of the aggression looked around; I was the only non employee in the vicinity. After I gave him a knowingly nod he said, "at least hes going to die before the rest of us." I responded "Its true" with a satisfied grin on my face.
