I was standing in line at a local Starbucks trying to get a coffee. You know, a regular damn coffee! And these two old people are in front of me taking their sweet old time. The old woman was counting her pennies out. Im a working mom, so I didn't have time for this! I said "Excuse me, but could you please just use a credit card? I don't have all day." The old woman snapped at me "I don't use credit cards. I only use cash." And I said "Well, you're using too much of it- Im in a hurry here!" Ignoring me, the old lady proceeded in counting her change out. People behind me look irratated as well, and the cashier is trying to be patient. Out of impatience, I shoved the old croon out of the way and ordered my coffee. The old man yelled at me, and I said "Tell your wife to move a little ******* faster next time!" The old lady looked at me in horror, and then dropped to the floor. She died instantly, apparently from a heart-attack. Everyone in line gasped, and the old man yelled at me.

He said "You- you killed my wife! You *****!" He was crying, and stooped to the floor, cradling his dead old wife. I think she was like 70s. I yelled back "Hey Its not MY fault she was taking too long, I needed my coffee. Besides, she was old." Everyone yelled at me now to leave the store, and the manager threatened to call the police on me. Why? Because I was in a rush. Its not my fault the old lady died of a heart attack. The old man shouted as I left, "I was married to Helga for 50 years you monster!" That phrase has not left my head. What do I do to handle this?

I hope you're making this up.
And if you aren't, yes, you were wrong to yell at the old couple.

Your story doesn't make sense. It is not believable and if you plan to write short stories I'm sorry to tell you that you don't have any talent.
Bad joke!
If there's any tiny possibility that this is true I just hope that you never cross my path. The way you describe this incident shows what a lack of morals, sensitivity, savoir-vivre you have. What a selfish person you are, horrible, the worst. That after a person dies you have the indecency and the lack of morals to reply what you did it's the most horrible thing I could imagine a person can do.

i hope this is a joke, because if it is not you are a freaking bastard to yell at the old people over a starbucks coffee! I believe there is a special place in hell thats just a little hotter for people like you- I suggest you ask God for forgiveness!

That was YOU??? I hope you know that was my mom you killed. Our attorney will be filing papers on you tomorrow morning first thing. You're being charged with stupidity in the first degree for thinking anyone would believe such a ridiculous tale.

Why would you even waste our time and intelligence on such a demented question? You're in need of help, and your parents should take your computer from you until you grow up.

This has got to be some sort of a joke, right? If it isn't then it is a pretty sad thing to do to any one.

I sure hope this is a joke.
As jokes go it is so bad you need to seek professional help.

No you were not wrong at all. Don't worry about it. When your time is up, your time is up. It was not your fault. The old guy was probably getting a little sick of the wifie anyway. He was just putting on a show.
The only reason I am on your side is because when you said OLD you meant old. Someone on her yesterday was talking about an old guy and said he was 50. I am 50. NOT OLD.
Starsbucks has some good coffe, huh?

You could have told them to go to coin-star before buying the coffee. Or that if she had gone to coin-star, she wouldn't be dead.
