Seriously.
When you have an idiot staring you in the face and you have to be professional, well, it's very very tempting to step outside the boundry.
Back in 1994 I used to get paper checks. I lived in a nice apartment in SW FTW and did apartment security. A 2 BDR/2 Bath 1050 sq ft apartment ran me $150/month. There were checks that I wouldn't cash so I wouldn't spend.
One day I was out on White Settlement road by Angelo's and checked a guy doing 68 in a 35. That road sucks, and that speed is unrealistic due to the potholes, etc...
The guy called me every name in the book and when I had him sign the ticket he said "I pay your salary".... Holding the ticket book in one hand, I pulled my check out of my shirt pocket and compared his signature to the one on my check. I showed him and said "funny, the signatures don't match"...
You would have thought I slapped him. He went from ballistic to OMG terminal!
He ended up calling my Sergeant I and got a nice ass chewing over that one.
Some things are worth it.

Boy is that the truth. I'll take an occasional asschewing from my boss just so I feel better about coming out and saying something that needed to be said. I've got a remarkable tolerance when it comes to customers, but every once in awhile I have to do a mental calculation on if getting a phone call is going to be worth it or not. It's nice having tenure.

Sometimes you need to stare ignorance in the face and call it what it is.

I get away with quite a bit of bitchiness with the company I work for. They just prefer that I keep it on the passive aggressive side.
