When I was at Taco Bell yesterday, I ordered my food and went to get my drink. Another person had just finished filling their cup and was now searching for the right sized lid and a straw. While he was doing this, I began filling my own cup with Coke. Suddenly, he turns to me and begins staring at me in an irate manner. "You separated me from my tray!" he screams, and I notice that his tray was, in fact, on the other side of me. He must have left it there temporarily while he went to look for a lid for his drink. "Huh?" I say to him. "You have come between me and my tray!" he repeats. It was as if I had separated a mother bear from her cubs. Then he began to swear at me in Spanish. I calmly continued filling my cup, apologized for any inconvenience, and went to get my meal. WTF??

The world is full of Crazy people. Yesterday I ogt yelled at by a guy because I wouldn't "Literally" pull right up against the car in front of me. I was less then a foot from his bumper and he's screaming that there are people trapped in the intersection because of me! Not the 15 cars in front of me, not the fact that they should have waited to make sure there was room for them before crossing the intersection in the first place - no, because I wouldn't move another 7 inches forward.
The problem is opinions. We all have them and they often conflict. I know people who insist the kitchen trash can goes under the sink, others swear it goes in the pantry. In the long run, it's inconsequential.
When situations like this happen to me, I just smile, apologise for the inconveinince and - like you, think what a fruitcake! People assume there is some mass conscienceness of human behavior and we all do the same things the same way. You violated one of his "Cosmic rules", It's pointless to explain to him that this rule doesn't exist in your cosmos or to call him for his rudeness. Just put him down to an unpleasant experience. Besides - sometimes crazy means viloent - get away from them as fast as you can.

That is dumb!! If he was so stupid about being separated from his stupid taco bell tray then he should have slid it in front of him while he filled up his drink.

The way I see it is its a case of reckless abandonment. He left his tray astray when he left it for accessories.
So he separated himself from his own tray.

I would have just ignored him. Why would you leave your tray of food right by the drinks anyway....... Strange.

Should have told him to go back to Mexico.
JUST KIDDING!
I would have just laughed and went about my business. He left his tray, so its his fault not yours.
What a nutjob.

People are losing their ever loving minds. Did you read about the guy that cut a pizza guy with a machette over his pizza taking awhile to cook?

Some people are just idiots. I wouldn't let it bother you. He was probably a mental case.

That is what you call in idiot. I would have just ignored him and kept going on in my merry way.
