A few years ago I made a day trip from Austin to Dallas.

Upon arrival at DFW, I boarded the Alamo Rent-A-Car shuttle bus. There was one other person in the bus. He never made eye contact with me, and kept looking at his watch, apparently he was late for an appointment.

Once we arrived at the Alamo rental office, being a frequent renter I went to the “Silver Service” line. The other guy was in the regular line, still checking his watch, with a couple of people ahead of him…

I was standing at the counter with the sales agent when this guy finally gets to the counter for service. His wait in line had been no longer than five minutes, but suddenly, in a very self-important way, he was screaming at the agent about how he had to wait a whole FIVE minutes for service. And he went on and on, not stopping, not letting the sales agent get in a word.

I stood there at watched this spectacle of rudeness for about one minute, then I told my agent:
“Please excuse me for a minute.”

I walked over to the rude SOB berating the Alamo agent and calmly said:
“Pardon me. Would it be possible for you to act nicely instead of being a rude asshole?”

At this point, he looked at me and said:
“You had better watch out what you say to me. I’m a lawyer.”

I replied: “Then Sue me!”

He was speechless. Later as he left the building, he walked by me as I was loading my car and said:
“You F*cking HICK.”

I replied, “Have a nice day!”
