She wanted to get on one of the computers, but didn't have the patience to wait for us to help her. So she went into overdrive. She was yelling and pointing fingers. Saying we'd denied her assistance twice. You know, I wasn’t even there for all of it. She wanted to get on one of the computers, but didn’t have the patience to wait for us to help her.

I don't think that was the wrong solution. I just don't see were people get off behaving like that. I know, it happens all the time. I see it. That's why I think there have to be practical ways of dealing w/ such knuckle-heads. She ended up with a computer. I don’t think that was the wrong solution.

Business protocol prevents the employee being abused to stand up for himself, so I like to take one for the team. That, and I like confronting assholes.

I think a lot of the problem with the O.R. forums is that unlike you and I, many of these folks don't have a lot of nettiqutte (jesus, I hate that word) experience, and it makes them come off a lot more brusque then they intend. Sure, some are assholes. But I've labeled a lot of your hard bodyslams on the forum assholish in the past, so, y'know, there you go. Certainly several of my posts here were written by an asshole. However, people like this evil bitch in the library, or the person at the grocery store yelling at the 16 year old cashier need to be taken out and beaten for the common good.
