@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.

@woodpunk One may hope that when a person in that state has had some rest and calmed down, that they will feel sad about what happened.
I honestly believe that nearly nobody is just "like that" - there will almost always be extenuating circumstances. Sometimes you get home and wonder "what got into me?"

@LaChasseuse I genuinely admire your optimistic and positive perspective on people.

In fact, I think I envy it.

I've spent so long studying the behaviours of the very worst people in society that I need that sort of reminder once in a while.

Thank you.
