@woodpunk People are tired and stressed and get confused. Maybe we should just give each other a little more slack these days?
I'm too embarrassed to mention some of the times I've acted like a total Bozo due to a combination of stress and exhaustion. I am indebted to the retail personnel who have had monumental patience and perseverance with me.
@LaChasseuse It's very true that some people are tired, stressed and confused. Modern life is hard, for sure.
Sadly, It's also true that some people are just appallingly rude, unnecessarily aggressive, and entirely unapologetic when they're politely informed of their mistake.
