Then there is no such thing as a funny story about a customer.

You are the only one using the *insane* term, meaning in _your_ mind
he has been interpreted as insane.

Perpetual cruelty? Do you even listen to yourself? Cruel to whom?
You have a real problem.

You know, I have been in the customer's perspective. And you know
what? I was an *idiot*. I doubt any of us have never been an idiot.
I can laugh about it. And I have no doubt I have said and/or done
things that made people, aftewr I walked away, say "Do you believe
that?" I've even told other people about my gaffe, and shared the
laugh.

I have hinted at something here, but now I feel I have to come out and
say it. You need to get an enema, because you are really, really full
of ****.
