For some reason, a lot of people are extremely rude to anyone who is serving them. But you usually never see them again and you’re probably glad about that.
That’s not what happened in this story, but in this case it was satisfying instead of stressful.
Keep reading to see how he got to witness what the rude man had coming to him.
Rude man farts himself into oblivion… with a little help from me.
I mic speakers at events and one person in particular was very rude to me.
“Give me a microphone!” he barked.
I wasn’t gonna like this guy. I calmly smiled and said no problem as I stood to mic him up.
Then he gets even bossier and also has a request.
“I SAID, give me a microphone NOW! I want you to turn me up REALLY loud!”
“I think if we turn up the PA anymore it might be a little uncomfortable for the audien-”
“I wasn’t asking your opinion, I was telling you to turn me up!”
I work for myself so I don’t care.
He walks up to the lectern as he is introduced.
The loud volume doesn’t have the effect that the speaker wanted, but OP doesn’t mind.
I turn him up on the mixer, as loud as it can go without feedback, looking at his perfectly punchable face, when something amazing happens.
He covers his mouth as he lets out a small cough, and as he does so, he does the wettest, dribbly-est sounding fart I’ve ever heard.
Because the microphone was turned up so loud, it was amplified 1000x and straight into the ears and brains of everyone in the entire room.
At the end, he walked all the way to the back of the room, shamed, and sheepishly thanked me.
Here’s what folks are saying.
A lot of people found this satisfying and I did, too.
I found this comment hysterical. I wonder if anyone did that privately with him. He must have had enemies in that room.
I would hope, but I doubt it will make him think twice about being a demanding jerk next time.
This must have been a cathartic read for people in this profession!
Warm and fuzzy? Can’t say I had that reaction.
Maybe lay off the beans before your speech.
