The mobile phone camera. What a marvellous invention.

Returning power to the ordinary bystander who happens to witness intolerable abuse:

    Why are you saying that? Is this some kind of joke? Are you pretending to be him or are you actually him?

    I agree, it was obvious that he was joking, I found it funny. Are you a policeman or something scottie ? I can just imagine you playing nasty cop, nasty cop, with a suspect. Confess or we will hit you with a baseball bat.
    Every time I read that the oldest person in the world has died, I have to do a quick check to see it isn't ME..........

    Not surprised it happened...

    When I worked for the railways, I was told that every customer-facing railway worker would eventually lose it with a customer (especially the ones working on the ticket desk). After hours and hours of abuse from the public and - frankly - stupidity, things would get intolerable.

    I didn't believe *everyone* could lose it, until I saw the meekest, nicest mannered man I've ever known to suddenly practically explode at a customer. I didn't even know this guy was capable of swearing, let alone letting forth a torrent of abuse at such volume that everyone in Reading station could hear. Remember that BBC TV investigative journalist who lost it with the Scientologists? Well, this guy was about twice as furious. "Incandescent with fury" hardly gives it justice.

    I left before it happened to me (had I remained with the railways, I'd have gone to Signalling and Telecommunication to avoid having to face the public)

    I understand what you're saying, working with the general public is tough. You get asked the same stupid questions hour upon hour and they all complain about the same thing.

    I was trying to appeal to a cosmopolitan audience, or is that an ice cream.

    The few hours I'm in the store while it's open 1 hour at the start of the shift and 1.5 near the end. I get asked some of the stupidest questions. The one that really pisses me off is when somebody comes up behind me taps me on the shoulder (I'm sure it's less effort just to say excuse me), and asks where something is, and after turning round it's straight in front of me. Why don't people look on both sides instead of coming and stopping me doing what I'm doing for me to just point infront of me, them turn around and go "Oh it's right there!", MORONS!!!!

    The other one that winds me up is "Where's the bathrooms?" there to the left as you walk into the store and there's a big bloody sign above them with the little man and woman stick people saying "RESTROOMS" you fucking idiots!!!

    I couldn't work dayshift in that place I'd end up stabbing somebody with a plastic fork or something.
