Have you ever just lost it?

Pepper said:
Oy vay, I lose it so often. Did at CVS. They have new systems where the customer must work the computers. I refused. Not there to work. Clerk, who knows me though I don't remember her, "handled" me wonderfully. We even shared a laugh at the end.

HATE CVS. HATE.

:) That's not "losing it", Pepper. That's just not being sheeplike.
 

Throwing a tantrum is not in my DNA, but my sister sure could make up for what I couldnā€™t.

In aviation, like most careers, there are things that are upsetting or annoying. United would go nuts when schedules went behind and sometimes I was their punching bag, I guess you could call me. One summer afternoon, a line of thunderstorms were passing through in Miami. High winds and torrential downpours were involved. The FAA advised against departing, so as Captain, I held the flight. I called for a 30 minute delay. We hadnā€™t started boarding yet, so my passengers were comfortable in the terminal.

We were an hour and a half late leaving Miami, so when we landed in D.C., my supervisor was waiting for me. He must have had a lot of late planes because it didnā€™t take him very long to unload on me. Usually, he was a good guy to work with, but not that day. I let him fly off the handle and he used me for his punching bag. After it was over I walked away. A half hour later, he apologized and life went on.
