the one least likely to get sympathy, lol.
i took my oldest daughter, and a friend of mine to the local library anual used book sale. we were part of about 50 people waiting to get it. when it opened i headed to the sci-fi section, my daughter to the kids books. (btw, this happened about 7 years ago).
a little while later me daughter comes to me crying. she explained that she had chosen several books, of various series that she reads, when this woman came along pushed her out of the way, and told her it was for adults, and she wanted those books.. my daughter ended up on the floor, and the fat cow even took her books!
we went to look for her but she wasn't there. a short time later my friend found us, and asked what was happening? i repeated the story to him, with some nicely chosen explitive thrown in. i also said i'd like to find her so i can treat her in like coin.
from behind me a mans voice says, that was my wife, wanna try it with me? i turned around and here was this guy holding a box loaded with kids books. my daughter says those are the books i picked (not all of them just a few on the top). so siad sure, and grasped the box. he tried to kick me in the neather region. that was it! i grabbed him by the throat in a one handed choke hold leaned in and told him he had just made the second biggest mistake of his like. he couldn't breath, and droped the box, and tried to pull off my hand. he was getting rather frantic. my friend started saying it wasn't worth it, and not to kill him. so i threw him against a table of books and walked away.
as we were leaving about 30 minutes later, the guy came up to us, and appologised. he said he'd thought we were making up the story about his wife. when the wife confirmed what he heard us saying after the altercation, he was pissed at her, lol! he told us the box of books was all paid for and he was giving it to us. i declined, but did take the ones my daughter had already picked out. he asked me what i ment by "making the second biggest mistake of his like"?
so i told him, he'd married his wife.
