If someone kicked me like that I would have thrown him over the side and Into the river then jump in after him just to make sure he drowned.

Unless the stall sold lighters...


EDIT: Anyone used/heard reports on these before?

seriously... I need anger management classes. Im walking through a park on an autumn day and a big leaf hits me on the head and for some reason my mind thinks someone threw something at me as i didnt see it was a leaf at first. So i spun around and i was about to punch someone but no-one was behind me throwing stuff at me.

if you travel around the london underground alot, you get used to being barged and knudged. so Usually i couldnt really give a toss. but because the leaf hit me in the face I went from 0 to over 9000 in less then a second.

Im usually pretty easy going though. I just have random outbursts of extreme anger like the incredible hulk

thats sounds resonable actually, i'm allways really calm up to a certain point, if someone punches me i won't care but if someone does loads of small things that irritate me they'll build up over a few weeks and at some point i'll seam to get really angry over something that doesn't matter that much

If someone punches me id punch them back. as for people that doing things that irritate me. alot of the stuff is actually quite easy to ignore. but it kinda depends what the person is doing to irritate me.

for instance. back when i use to work in the stockroom for debenhams. One indian guy was always talking behind my back and telling the managers i was a 'look busy doing nothing' sort of guy. and the managers were worried about the alligations at first, but everytime they checked on me I was always hard at work.

It also didnt help that I was only 1 of 2 staff working in the mens stockroom while the womens had around 10-15 people in there at any given time and that indian fella was one of 15 in the womens stockroom.


when the managers started ignoring him he started coming over to me and saying it to my face.

I didnt react to it and he kept it up and the managers kept an eye on him and they eventually caught him out....doing nothing at all.

we get a 'pick' list for stuff that the shop floor needs. Some of these lists can be around 4-5 A4 pages. I was on my 3rd/4th list and he hadnt even started his first one yet. he was just looking like he was doing something, but he wasnt doing anything at all.

They sacked him soon afterwards.

I really wanted to hit him. but i just ignored him because everyone knew he was full of shit.

well...I eventually quit the job a few weeks after he got the sack. I couldnt let it go that some called me a slacker when i was always on my feet. the 2 managers needed someone new to pick on and i became their target.

last straw was... My Aunties wedding was coming up. I needed 2 days off to attend the wedding. i already told them 2 months in advance, and when i chase them up about it, they had totally forgotten. there was still a month before the wedding so i tried to book the 2 days off again and they said no. I asked the manager why and he said, and i quote "why should we do you small favours?"

I just looked at him and told him he was way out of line, went up stairs, picked up all my gear, left and never went back

I could have spoke to someone higher up the chain about the crap i was getting. but the problem was these 2 managers were stand-in managers and we didnt have a proper manager because he had been let go due to cost cutting. we had a manager but it was pretty much a hands off affair and she was always too busy dealing with her own department to come and sort stuff out.

Kyle is an odd one as i spoke to him near enough daily and then that happened.

Personally, i still maintain that something happened outside of his control. It's not like him, but there again, can you really know anyone over the net...

Naw, I recon he just started being more social and such like in real life, causing him to think " PFFFTTTTTTT" .

Happened to me once on another forum, cept I hadn't sold anything.

Thing is, he did it to me last year, when I was new here. Didn't ship me a phone after I paid for it and avoided contact for like a week. He gave quite a 'big' reason, I'm just getting a feeling he used the same excuse to other people, maybe recently...

what was the reason?

why would one wish to collect buses?
