Today has been somewhat entertaining and my arch nemesis Expensive Dinner Man annoyed me for a THIRD time. First off, EDM is a guy I've had problems with. For the backstory here's my first encounter with him in the quoth box:
I ran into him a second time at a Borders of all places.
Then today on Easter Sunday I ran into him a third time.
I was in my usual spot today minding my own business when EDM pulled up to the first row of barrels. I can't move these barrels unless told otherwise. At the moment I didn't know it was him until I made a motion in the form of "over here" I realized it was him when he said "Ya wanna bet?" He gets out of his car, a black H3 Hummer and simply says he's not listening to me and that he's doing whatever the hell he wants. After this, he proceeds to move the barrel, I shut down my entrance and run over there (Not far just a good 10 feet). I shut it down and just give him a glare, the type that would say "Don't fuck with me." if glares could speak. He goes back to his car and he gets his cell phone out and says "I'm calling your superiors, she told me to call her next time I deal with you shithead. " I just grin, it enrages him and I mentally laugh. He's a big baby and he refuses to admit it. He keeps dialing away, I start to think he's forgotten the number in all of his expensive rage. More amusment for me. He tells me that he has all day. I tell him I do too, I don't have anywhere to be. EDM tells me I'm wasting my life at a $6 an hour job (I make more than he thinks). I tell him I don't work much thanks to school. He tells me "big fucking deal." After that, we just get into a staredown, I gesture with my finger to tell him to go over there and I will help him. He refuses to move, it's an old fashioned country western movie staredown only without guns and there's snow around us. My coworker walks up and tries to defuse the situation, EDM then chews out my coworker. EDM says I'm cocky, an arrogant asshole (For doing my job?), and fires out all sorts of insults. I still grin. I start reexplaning the policies, he just tells me to shut up and listen, all of a sudden my supervisor cuts in. "ArenaBoy, go back to your spot. I'll deal with him." I walk back and as I am walking back the first words I hear out of my supervisor's mouth is "Don't you EVER and I mean EVER talk to my employees like that again." Holy crap my supervisor is chewing him out! The whole time I heard my supervisor just tearing him a new one. It was awesome, EDM couldn't get more than 20 words in, which were the standard "I know this guy." Supervisor told him that out in the lot they mean nothing and that didn't justify his behavior. EDM gives up and drives to my entrance, now he could've accepted defeat but he just simply calls me a monkey. Yeah, I'm really going to cry now. /Sarcasm. Then as he walks by, he tells me again that I need to get a life and stop wasting it at a $10 an hour job (Wait, I thought it was $6?) I respond with a nice "Well I don't brag my shortcomings to others!" In reply to how much he pays and that his name is on his spot.
I do know I've made an enemy but I've got my supervisor's backing in case he tries to pull anything. The 1st thing my supervisor said to me when he walked back was "What an asshole." Nice to know that EDM got his just desserts. (I had to say it sorry) I wonder if I'll run into him again when I'm out and about. Either way if he chooses to escalate this, I'm getting the authorities involved. Thanks for reading!!

Expensive Dinners 6:32 PM
A little backstory: The area I was at has two barrled off sections, one section is to not be removed under any circumstances unless stated otherwise, it's been like that for as long as I've been there.
Dickweed is the nickname for this guy (DW). My thoughts will be in Italics.
I'm standing around looking pretty when DW pulls up to blocked off spot, I beckon him over and he obliges when suddenly.........
DW: Hey, why can't I go in there, I always go in here!
Me: Oh great, here we go. That is to not be removed no matter what happens.
DW: Really? I've got news for ya buddy, I'm a season ticket holder, I'm here every game, you're not! I know what ticks around here and I have always been let in through there.
Me: Sir, I am here every game also but in different spots and I do know that the barricade we have set up is not to be removed.
DW: Look ArenaBoy!!! (I hate it when they put that emphasis on your name like it's supposed to scare you.) I am here all the time and you aren't. You want to bet an expensive dinner over this!!!
Me: Buddy, I've been to NYC and you wouldn't know expensive if it bit you in the butt *I'm restraining myself from laughing, I'm a college student and I'm poor as hell.* Sir, I'm a student and I can't afford a trip to Panera.
DW: *Looks at me, drives off.*
As he walked by, he gave me a dirty glare. Me being the sarcastic ass that I am, I put on a shit-eating grin and loudly say "HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT SIR!!!!!!" I even did this:
He asks my boss' name, I give it to him and just laugh it off.
