Ha! Caught you being a douche!

[EvilEmpryss]

I'll never understand the stupidity of people who like to make fun of or insult gay people. Do you REALLY think it's a smart move to annoy someone who is not only WILLING to shove something up your ass but is also EXTREMELY good at it?!!!

OMG!!! I am so stealing this for my sig line!!! I will forever remember this for the next time I hear someone bashing homosexual males.

[Mr Hero]

So what exactly does a bundle of sticks sound like on the phone?

Hasn't the definition moved to "A bunch of obnoxious bikers reving their Harleys"? If that's the case, Sarcastro somehow sounded like a Harely rider reving the engine.

Oh South Park...how I love thee...

[Captain Trips]

Okay, I think after all these years I get it:

If you are nice, caring, understanding, and go out of your way to help, you are a faggot.

If you stick to company policy and politely say "I'm afraid I can't do that" then you are an asshole.

I'm still a bit confused on what defines an "asshole faggot" though....

[Seshat]

I think Sarcastro handled it very well.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Me: Sure thing. Thanks for calling *cue lisp* have a FABULOUS day! *release call*

Faggot? I'm nice and go out of my way to set up these arrangements and that makes me a faggot? I couldn't told him to worry about his own goddamn bill and been super macho but then he would've gotten disconnected. He better be glad I was in such a "faggoty" mood today. I feel sorry for actual gay people who have to put up with this kind of ignorant BS on a daily basis from bungholes like this guy.

I approve of your "faggotry"

[FArchivist]

I freely admit that such a phone call would activate my 'zorro' complex.

And I also have to think a lot of you guys have some experience in getting into fights with assholes like the customer in the OP's story.

The gay guys I know know their way around a fist fight. One of 'em happens to be an albino on TOP of being gay. You think that guy hasn't gotten into a few fights? That guy can hand you your ass!

I don't think I would want to pick too many fights with a guy who has been shoved into a locker as a kid one too many times.

[Sarcastro]

I probably could've been more adult about it and just gave him a "I'm sorry you feel that way, sir" to call him out on it but then he probably wouldn't have gotten the point. Nah, I'm just a vengeful a-hole with a forum to mess with people. BUT, only those who truly deserve it. Everyone else gets treated like royalty if they're being cool and professionally if it's neutral, or even angry. Just don't denigrate an entire group of people because they threaten your manhood or because you want to look cool in front of your friends. I work with people that are gay and lesbian and I'm just glad that I got that call instead of them so they didn't have to deal with this douche. Yes, I'm an a-hole, but I'm an a-hole with principles.

[XCashier]

Yes, I'm an a-hole, but I'm an a-hole with principles.

You're not the asshole; that homophobic caller is. And you handled that well.

Well, obviously it's when you stick to company policy but are really, really nice about it.

Alternatively, it's the official name for the stick that some people have shoved up their butts.

Take your pick.

OMG!!! I am so stealing this for my sig line!!!

Finally, a line from Sheldon that I, too, can put in my sig file that I can actually safely USE on most fora >_>

And OP, I wholeheartedly agree with the others -- you reacted in the perfect way!
