Yeah, I know I am an oldie. But I hope I am not this passive aggressive.
An elderly couple sat waiting in the sun for a ferry to arrive. She asked him if he wanted a cup of tea.
"No", he said grumpily, "it's too late. The ferry will be here soon."
"if you want a cup, I'll get you one" she replied.
"It's too late." he huffed. "You took too long shopping. I don't have time."
"I'll get you a cup" she said and walked away. A little later she came back out to where he sat sunning himself and put a big cardboard cup of tea in front of him.
"Oh good", he said. "Coffee."
"You asked for tea". She exclaimed.
"You got me tea!" he said. "And in this bloody silly great cup! Well that's just great." Silence.
I have sulked because I did not get my cup of tea or whatever; but only for a few minutes, and I have never done anything like this. This goes beyond grumpy to nasty IMHO.
