No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk & Cookies

Today Pearpear, Bearbearette and I went out to buy some cookies. At the shop, there was this tall man with a skinny moustache and big ugg boots asking the Cookie Lady how he could switch the peanut butter fudge swirl cookies he had previously taken with the plain sugar cookies instead. The Cookie Lady explained that he could use the plain sugar cookie tongs to grab the new plain sugar cookies from the plain sugar cookie tray, and put the peanut butter fudge swirl cookies back onto the peanut butter fudge swirl cookies tray with the peanut butter fudge swirl cookie tongs. The Big Boot Man said this was a hassle, and didn't understand why he had to use the plain sugar cookie tongs which were farther from his reach. He also said he doesn't want to use any "stupid tongs" that don't work right, and demanded to know why he can't just switch the cookies right away. The Cookie Lady explained that an exchange was possible, but that specific tongs must be used to avoid cross-contamination and keep everyone safer and cleaner. The Big Boot Man then yelled at the Cookie Lady and demanded she find someone who could help him exchange his cookies without wasting his time. The Cookie Lady offered to grab the plain sugar cookies for him and put back the peanut butter fudge swirl cookies, but the Big Boot Man called her useless and demanded to speak to the baker who "actually knows what he's doing." The Cookie Lady explained that everyone in the shop was equally equipped to assist him and that she'd be glad to help him switch. At this point, the man lost his temper completely, knocked the cookie trays to the ground, and stormed out of the store, shouting that he'll be back to tell the baker and everyone else in the shop that the Cookie Lady refused to help him.

Pearpear, Bearbearette and I were so scared that we were shivering in the corner. The Cookie Lady was being nice to the Big Boot Man and trying to help him; I don't understand why he yelled at her. What makes someone such an angry person who yells at strangers who were politely trying to help him after he made a mistake? My goodness! I wonder what people are thinking when they can take a person's words and actions and interpret them in the exact opposite manner. Are they just mad to begin with? Maybe he was just having a bad day...

And it was such a waste of cookies too...hm...Milk & cookies sound good right now. They make me happy. Maybe if the Big Boot Man had eaten some milk and cookies first, he would have been happier.
