Have you ever insulted someone at your job?

This customer went up to me to ask where the Goya beans were and after I told him, he suddenly started talking about my car and how he always sees me park it in the farthest part of the parking lot every day. He said my car was ugly, he didn't like the color of my car, and the shade of blue was weird.

I told him "The color isnt Blue. The color is called Metallic Peacock, dumbass."

He tried to tell my manager, but my manager told him that he didn't want to hear it. He was in earshot of the conversation, btw.

The customer then takes his cans of beans and leaves in a huff.

Normally I dont call customers names, but idk, I found this one kind of weird.

    Yes, but always indirectly, because Germany is a law-abiding nation... so if you insult someone directly, they can sue you, provided there are witnesses.

    But one good way to get around this is to form your insult as a question, or be a bit vague and put emphasis on the insult. Someone does something stupid, or is annoying...

    "Are you an ABSOLUTE IDIOT?"
    "Only a complete MORON would fuck this up so badly"

    People get it and the best part is they often can't think of a witty response and if they insult you directly, you could sue them.

    Does hanging up on someone count as an insult?

    I will only insult them if they try to insult me.

    I LOVE being mean to customers. Just give me a fucking reason to tell you to fuck yourself.

    My favorite thing is to tell people if they keep up their behavior, they’re gonna be thirsty. I will literally not go back to your table. Suffer bitch. Don’t wanna tip me? I don’t give a fuck.

    But I will say, one of my favorite things to do to angry people in particular is, what I like to call, “the scared kitten”. And I’ll take a step back and look like I’m near tears and get really quiet and just say “yes sir”, “yes ma’am”. And when they put their hand out to try to apologize, I fucking flinch. It’s perfect. Puts shit ass cunts in their place.

    I suppose so. I threw a fork at someone’s face once in a kitchen.

    I actually haven't as far as I remember, cant think of any time where I really wanted to insult someone either. But my job doesn't involve much contact with anyone outside the workplace and thankfully has good work envirorment

    The security guy at work. His first day I came in and he is supposed to get off his ass and cut the seal on my trailer. I pull up and Im wondering why hes staring at me for 2 minutes not doing anything, I eventually turb my truck off and yell "whats wrong" and he said "i dont get up unless the truck is off its unsafe" and I thought ohh boy here we go im gonna looove this guy. Everyday its some new rule and im supposed to be able to read his mind apparently.

    Until one day he got up bitching and said "dont stop for the rubber seals you can cut those yourself". I snapped and was like "You realize the whole point of having a seal for you to cut is so the company knows the driver wasnt stealing. That's literally your ONLY job. Do your fuckin job and quit whining like a little girl every fuckin day dude. You are the fuckin security guard, so sit down in your little chair, cut peoples seals, and quit complaining. No one wants to hear your pity parties" i just snapped on this old man. And he just looked at me sad and said yes sir. I felt kind of bad afterwards until the next day he was doing the same shit again. Idk how hes still employed here. Every day I bring my trailer in and im like goddamnit hes working...

    • I can't stand lazy coworkers. The day before a snowstorm, my coworkers were talking to each other about whether they plan on calling out. They live five minutes away from the building, ffs! When they asked me if I was coming in, I said yes. They seemed surprised since it's a 35 minute drive for me. They didn't show up the next day and my manager was pissed. I wish I lived five minutes away from the store. It would be so much easier.

    This is why I work at jobs that dont require me to deal with customers. Things like warehouses or late night security jobs. are there annoying co-workers? surprisingly not at the warehouse's that I have worked at so far. As for oddballs oh yeah I see plenty when I do security but its my job to tell them to fuck off or else.

    • The store I work at is going to switch my department to overnight soon. I'm not sure if I'll be able to adjust to sleeping in the day and working at night, but it beats dealing with the creepy customers during the day.
