Dillholes who butt in line

A few weeks ago I was working with some homeless people, about 10 helping them get off the streets, recover from their addiction and find work. I hired the 10 of them to help clean up damage storms did to our property. I pay them in cash and offer to help find them stable work if they want to work hard to put their life back together.

So I decided to buy them some food because they're all starving. The cheapest food around is Tacobell so I go wait in line trying to put together large order for the group. I had my earbuds in because I don't really 100% trust these 10 people around my property so I was listening in the surveillance camera feed, just incase. I thought that one of the best of the 10 an offer at my brothers construction company. As I was swiping from my photo thinking which person deserves a 2nd chance in life. Some jerk cuts infront of me and I say hey I was first and he ignores me.

Just when I'm trying to restore my faith in humanity this guy makes me wonder why do I bother? What's the point of me doing all of this? Well one of these 10 ever make only to become self entitled like this short guy who thinks "Me first"?

To make it all worse he drives off in a really nice car that I can't afford because I'm wasting my money trying to help off the worst among us. I could of kicked his ass but decided it's not worth teaching this person a lesson, grabbed my grub and left.

Patrick has amply demonstrated what an ass hole he is with his own, factual stories. No need to go and make things up about him.

The satisfaction that you are doing God's work should be reward enough. God is testing your virtue.

HA! But the whole thing should have been in green, as not to offend the unaware.

1)- Helping others- Good for you Manh, mad props.

2)- as for the guy should've said out loud :" Allright, piggy- if it means that much to you to cut in line here in TACO BELL, you can have it. taco bell don't mean that much to me anyhow..." Then laugh at him.

Oh and I've BTDT #2. Even the cashier was giggling after I was done.

You guys are absolutely right. We come here to make friends... or at least I hope we do. Sometimes we sound like a bunch of old hens...
