Was it something I said?

Today was one of those days when those silent thoughts that are in your head roaming around accidently or maybe on purpose, just pop right out of your mouth.

I picked an uneccessary fight at my local wireless provider's retail store with the clerk over whether or not I did get 25% off accessories I purchase for my phone. Right next to me was a couple who seemed To be having some issues as well communicating their thoughts to the agent. In fact right before I went off the fellow next me did and I guess it started a chain reaction. The next thing I know I am cursing at my friend (an innocent bystander) the comment I meant for the agent. My friend A., was so startled she actually apologized to me as if she said something that upset me. I had to laugh then becasue apparently I did not have enough "balls" to look at the agent when I said it but I think he knew it was meant for him. Needless to say I think he flagged my acount so I guess I will be looking forward to some changes in my plan courtesy of him with no benefit to me.

So I felt like an "ass" later when I looked back at the whole situation. I wonder if it was the lack of food intake, I started a new diet plan, or anger that was meant for somone or something else that slowly made it's way out of my mouth, one can only guess.

Sometimes we all reach that point, the moment where it breaks. That moment is different for everyone and if you are driving in a car it would be referred to as "road rage". So maybe mine was "retail rage". But isn't a lot of this just misdirected? For me maybe it was something that happened earlier in my day and that became the "starting point" and the retail guy happened to be the "ending point" for this anger.
