And...out comes the inner-geek in me.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but this person just literally made my jaw drop a few minutes ago.
Back-story:
Okay, I play the MMORPG World of Warcraft. (Yes, I'm a geek!). I have a program called Vent (Ventrilo). For people who don't know what that is, it's a program that lets you chat verbally via the internet with a microphone/headset. You can have multiple channels on it so people don't have to talk over each other all the time.
Anyways. I was playing WoW with Vent, I was in a group in a dungeon. This person comes into our channel while we were trying to discuss strategies, and launches into the following story.
H: Unbelievable scum POS, sorry excuse for a human being.
Me: Obvious :P
H: Hey guys. I need your opinion on something.
Me: On what?
H: Well, not opinion, but I want you to tell me how tactful I was earlier today. I have a story, and I think you guys will think it's amusing.
Me: *Slightly peeved, as it was obvious we were busy.* ...uh....okay?
H: I went to K-mart, and right when I hit the electronics department, there was this older man on the floor, having a heart attack or something. The paramedics were there, pumping on his chest, trying to revive him. I think he was dead. The manager was standing next to them, all panicking. I went up and needed to know where the headphones were. He just looked at me funny, and I said, 'I'm the customer, you're supposed to help me, now where are the headphones?'
Me: *Interrupting his oh-so-funny story.* Wait a minute..what?! You saw a guy possibly dying, and you just demanded that the manager help you, when he's obvious having more important things to deal with? Like a GUY DYING?!
H: The guy was dead, so he wouldn't be a paying customer anymore. The paramedics were there, so it wasn't the manager's responsibility anymore. I was alive and was a paying customer. *Laughs* He should have been helping me!
I think my expression went like this upon hearing his story....
..... .....
Me: Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. My. Channel. Now. You speak to me again, I will ban you from vent. Do not open your mouth again, just leave my fucking channel NOW.
I stunned the other people in the channel into silence.
I just couldn't handle....how heartless that guy was. That was the toned down version, some of what he said was blurred out of my mind because I was so pissed off. But he was laughing and going on about how that manager shouldn't have been panicking, and how bad he was because he wasn't helping "A paying customer."
