Pop Can Nazi

My friends all think this is hilarious

Yesterday I went to return bottles that had been storing up in my trunk at the local grocery store. When I walked to the backroom where the bottle return machines are, I see a woman with a trash can in a cart blocking the machines because she decided she needs to use 3 out of 4 of them. I glare at her for at least 10 minutes and people are lining up behind me. She just keeps going about her business. I notice she had not been using the glass machine as much as the others, and I walk up to it print her coupon out for her and tell her I'm using it. I only had 5 bottles, she can deal with it. She cuts in front of me, declares she is not done and starts to use the glass machine. I tell her that it is rude to use all the machines and I'm pretty sure this is the point where she starts swearing at me so I get back in line and glare at the wall. I can still see peripherally she keeps looking back at me and I'm not sure if it's to provoke me but I just continue to glare at the wall because I had not wanted to rip someone's head off so badly before and I thought I just might do it. I knew any type of further acknowledgement was a bad idea because the anger and the words tip of my tongue were of the most offensive kind.

  2. Clearly. She almost tried the mind-death grip on me.
