When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

This tale was told to me by one of the service desk ladies at break today. It happened several years ago, when we still had layaway.

Guy came up to the service desk wanting to cancel a layaway he had set aside for him. Service desk lady gave him back the money he put down on the layaway, except for the $3 or so processing fee that was charged on all cancelled layaways.

This set him off and he launched into an f-bomb laden tirade. Unbeknownst to him, service desk lady's husband was behind him in line wanting to talk to his wife about something.

SC: F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb F-bomb!

SDL's husband: Excuse me, sir, there' no need for that kind of language.

SC: (jabs his finger in SDL's husband's chest) F-bomb you!

SDL's husband: That's my wife you're swearing at.

SC: I'll F-bombing swear at anybody I F-bombing feel like! You wanna F-bombing take this outside?

SDL's husband: Okay. Let's go.

They go outside to have a frank exchange of ideas while service desk lady calls up the manager on duty and tells him "My husband's about to go beat the tar out of somebody; can you just make sure he doesn't get hauled off to jail?"

MOD goes outside and finds SDL's husband. SC is nowhere to be found. Evidently he ran off before he could be mashed into a pulp, have his eyes gouged out, have his elbows broken, have his kneecaps split and his body burned away, have his limbs all hacked and mangled, have his head smashed in and his heart cut out, have his liver removed and his bowels unplugged and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis (use your imagination).

Yup, he beat a very brave retreat. Ironic thing is, today SDL had another guy start cussing her out after she told me this story, and she said she was close to calling me up front to act as her bodyguard.

OK, "Sir Robin".

$10 says the dickless wonder got into a muscle car or a jacked-up truck and peeled rubber out of the lot.

Oh - and BTW....

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, Brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Robin
Petrified of being dead
Soiled his pants then brave Sir Robin
Turned away and fled.
Bravely good Sir Robin was not at all afraid

What makes it truly classic is Idle's expressions toward the troubadour.

Something like that happened at a Taco Bell I used to work at. A woman manager was chatting with her husband when a disgruntled customer called her a bitch. The husband goes, "What did you just call my wife!" and the guy started leaving and walking real fast to his car. The husband followed him outside saying, "No you'll say it to her, a little 5 foot 4 woman trying to do her job, why dont you come say it to me!" That while one of the crew girls was yelling, "Yeah hit him for me!"

What's even better is when it's Daddy. Daddy scares them all away.

I can only scare them away when I'm PMSing, frizzy haired, bug eyed, and nicking really bad for a cigarette.

[Mr. Rude]

Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!!

[Bradester]

Come winter, the minstrels will be the first to go.

[Lace Neil Singer]

We had to eat Robin's minstrels... and there was much rejoicing. XD

[Bradester]

Yaaaayyyyy.

[Aethian]

You guys are weird...


But yay to macho men who use their macho for good.

If I were you I'd be on the lookout to be confronted by a couple of nasty-attitude cops over this. Idiots like this that get called out for the dumb asses they really are loooove to run to the cops and "Cry Victim" and give a cock-and-bull one-sided story about how the big, bad, bully threatened him "for no reason". It's kinda their way of "teaching someone a lesson" and getting the last laugh in. In fact it wouldn't be a bad idea just to file a police report for harassment on him in case he DOES do it.
