I went to Walmart today. They had a specific entrance for everyone to go through. I went under the tape and walked right into the front door. A Walmart employee, an older gentleman, gave me instruction and I retorted. Here is the exchange - as to the best of my memory:
Walmart Employee: Annoyed - "Just walk through the designated entrance, Sir!"
Me: Defiantly - "No!" ( as I walk away).
Walmart Employee: (mumbles something)
Me: Pissed off - "What the fuck did you just say?! You got a problem?!"
Walmart Employee: "No, I was talking to another customer, Sir."
Me: "That's what I fuckin' thought!"
I realized something. I was being an asshole. That man was just doing his job and I swore at him and threatened him. I did my best to be menacing and mean. I left the store without the item I wanted to purchase. I wish I could say that I apologized to him, but I didn't. I walked out a minute later in shame.
It was disrespectful of my elder and an unmanly display of whimsical emotion. I should have conducted myself in a manly, proper and composed fashion. And, displayed my discontent in a more dignified way.
I apologize.

I certainly was at that moment. The weird thing is that...that's really unlike me. Other than today, I never do anything like that. I was ashamed of myself with good reason. But, I'm curious as to why I snapped at him. The fault is all mine, but I want to know why and how to fix it.

Go back and apologize to him, I'm sure he'll be pleasantly surprised.

Did. Done. He accepted my apology.

Figure it out because what you did was really fucked up and so was walking out without apologizing

Hence, the confession and apology. You berating me while I'm prostrating myself is also kind of an asshole move. Just FYI, Mr. Perfect.
