I’m just the messenger, jackass. I hope you feel like shit.
I do the same thing. Nothing gets to a pissed off person more than pleasantness and just plain being nice. A huge smile plastered on your face seals the deal.
Also makes you feel GREAT because you know you made that guy’s day even worse.
That fake politeness is usually what drives me from “pissed...

Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High.
