Tough Guys

Everyone's a tough guy nowadays. I was in a room working on some computers with a few other guys, most of which I didn't know. This one guy in particular was maybe 18 years old and he asked me if we could link up our machines so that we could transfer some files from my system to his. I told him there was no NIC in the machine he was on so we wouldn't be able to hook up yet. I told him there were some NICs in a box in a closet that he could get. So he got one and put it in and got it installed he came over to me and told me he got the NIC installed but he couldn't connect to me. I told him I would take a look at his machine in a minute after I got done working on what I was working on. He pops off with "Ummm, MY machine is fine. I installed the NIC and I know what I'm doing. I've been doing this since I was a kid". He said it all rude like. I said "Since you were a kid? So you've only been doing this for 2 weeks?" He started to get in my face like he was some sort of big tough guy. He started up with "You don't know me, son. You don't know where I'm from!!" I told him that I didn't care what preppie neighborhood he lives in with his parents, but he better go sit down at his machine and wait.
Of course, it turns out that his machine WAS fine. It was the operator that didn't know what the fuck he was doing. So I fixed his shit and then he says "Don't talk to me like that again." I was already pissed off at this guy so I jumped his shit and got in his face and was like "WTF you gonna do, SON? You gonna tell yo daddy and get him to come down and get his ass kicked too?" I was spittin' in his face 'n whatnot when I yelled at him. He looked like a rat about to get eaten by a snake. The fear of god was in his eyes. Hopefully he'll think twice when he gets an attitude with someone next time. Not everyone is as nice as I am... :)
