People often lash out when they feel rushed or stressed.

This woman works as a checker at a busy store.

She encountered an impatient customer who took her frustration out on her

The customer was blaming her for making her late to her daughter’s soccer game.

But she quickly realized that the timing and logic behind the customer’s excuse didn’t quite add up.

Read the story below to find out more.

I made her late to a soccer game…30 miles away.

Being a checker at a large store, you get all sorts.

And everyone’s in a hurry.

So one day, I was checking, and I’m usually known for being fairly fast.

Enter, the soccer mom. She’s already visibly agitated.

This woman got told off for being slow.

We have several registers open, but she’s in mine. Goody.

She wants me to go faster, but I can only go so fast.

She starts telling me off for being slow.

And how I’m making her late to her child’s soccer game which starts in 10 minutes.

The customer was complaining and mindlessly mentioned the location of the game.

No, mind you, the things she had didn’t seem to be life-or-death items, just regular shopping.

And if she really had to get to her child’s soccer game, couldn’t it have waited?

Now, I’m a bit sympathetic, but I’m doing my best and it’s not my choice that led to this.

And the kicker? She mentions the location of the game.

It would take the customer about 45 minutes to arrive at the game.

It’s in another town, a town which I know to be about 30 minutes away.

It would take at least 45 minutes.

Given the fact that it takes 10 to 15 minutes just to get through this town and out the other side!

And yet, I’m making her late!

She knew that the woman wouldn’t make it.

There’s no way that she could have made it to that game.

Even if I had been the fastest checker in the world.

Some people just don’t want to accept that their choices were the ones that put them in a bind.

Let’s read the responses of other people to this story.

This person shares a similar experience.

This one makes a valid point.

Here’s an epic response to the customer.

And another one.

And finally, a petty revenge idea.

Some people blame others because they can’t accept their own poor decisions.

End of story.
