I lost my sht after a customer told me I was an a$$ for asking to see an id for their purchase. I called them a btch and told them to get the f*ck out. I am tired of these entitled aholes coming into the shop thinking they can treat ppl like crap bc they’re buying something. AITA?

    I just want to say, you’re “non-defensiveness” to the people calling you out here tells me you’re generally a good, in control person, and that you just got triggered in this one moment.

    Being abused can really stay with you for a long time, and I’m glad you mentioned therapy. It can help you unravel the places where our survival mechanisms kick in.

    NOT the AßHole.

      Thanks. I really do think of myself as mostly even tempered. I can contain myself in most instances, but my tolerance at getting verbally abused or harassed is way short and I get tunnel vision and react even before I can rationalize what’s happening. I saw in another reply you have experience growing up in an abusive household too and were able to overcome the anger issues. Glad you’re in a good place and thank for sharing. Is there something that worked better for you to overcome the anger? When I was going to therapy I had the opposite problem, which was I just held all emotion in and never showed anything, never said anything and it seems now it’s the opposite.
