Not knowing all the facts of this particular case, it's wrong to second guess the marshal's decision to cite this woman. There is such a thing as an officer's discretion and not every situation is so bad that it warrants issuing a citation. Still, if the woman really was causing a major disturbance that put other people in danger, then the citation seems reasonable. Having said that, I suspect something must have just been in the air on August 4th because I had a run in with a lady at a gas station that same day.

It started when I said "Ma'am, the gallon jugs below are the same brand and flavor as the 3-liter bottles...I don't know if it matters to you but, that's 26% more water for the same price." Instead of simply saying "No thanks," or "I'm not interested," she blasted me with "How 'bout mind yo own business...How 'bout that!?!?" She then proceeded to strut toward the counter like a rooster. I handled the situation very poorly because I probably should have been cited for disorderly conduct myself after chastising this woman in front of a younger woman who had accompanied her into the store. For the sake of the forum, I'm not even going to post the sanitized version of what I said because I really just should have let it go. Darwin's theory surely would have caught up to this woman eventually. I left it at, "I hope the approaching storm spares you and yours and I hope you have a nice life." I'll admit there is a dark-side of me that felt some pleasure from hearing the younger of the two women say, "I guess he told you!" to the older woman as I got in the truck and drove away.
