I am so sorry!

I don’t know what came over me. We all have those silly thoughts that run through our heads sometimes but we dare not say them out loud and I think somehow, last night, the wires got a little crossed. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my behavior, which I can assure you was a complete anomaly and will never happen again.
In case you forgot
You handed the cashier lady a coupon for something or other and she replied back to you, “this is expired.” You seemed a bit flustered. Perhaps it was the slightly rude way in which the check-out lady said it. Perhaps you are a bit obsessive compulsive. But I assure you it was quite an honest mistake.
Why I would then proceed to yell “Oh! In your face!” is beyond me.
I thought it in my head joking with myself as I’m often apt to do. But the synapses just weren’t firing correctly or something. It was instinct in it’s purest form.
Believe me I was just as embarrassed as you and the check-out lady. Perhaps even more so. Were it not for the chuckling of the people behind me that uncomfortable silence might have lasted for an eternity.
I am so sorry for any discomfort I may have caused you. But then again, serves you right for trying to save 23 cents on a Lean Cuisine.

You are insane. I love it.
Reminds me of the ladies at the thrift store who come up to the counter with an original oil painting and ask the clerk if they can pay two dollars because four dollars is too much for it. Meanwhile you wait to check out while they haggle over it. aaaahhh.
Awesomes, you gots some balls ons yas
Just one ball, I lost the other in a gardening accident.
Ohh Hehe you poor thing. I have had days like this, you really do not mean it but for whatever reason it just becomes the last straw.
It is days like these I just take a step back, think carefully, and try to come up with something witty to say. Alas usually I come out sounding like an arse instead… but I really do try.
And next time, pay the extra 23 cents… it will save that auful dreaded feeling that you were mean to the cashier.

Hey man. I can understand. Coupon clipping is a sport and in the heat of the game with all that testosterone pumping, anything can happen. I just glad no one got hurt. Lucky thing none of those crazed soccer fans weren’t around.
Try the same thing but in a language you don’t really know well enough to have an argument with. I just had a big fight with someone at a cell phone store in France. I’m sure some of the things I said were not right and I probably looked stupid but it felt good after.
