How do I make it look like I haven't been crying?

I politely told him I would kick his bum if he did that again.

Someone kicked your pet?!?!?!?!!? Someone you don't even know??? I would have told him that if he ever touched a hair on any of my pets he would regret the day he was born and then I would have kicked him where the sun doesn't shine (sorry, but I am really pissed at reading this) and then kicked him out! What an .
I hope you told him to leave! I don't care if he is a client/customer of your dad, if he treats your pets that way, he is an abuser and treats woman probably worse...maybe even children. What a scumbag. Did he even show any remorse or apologize???

In MY case, it wouldn't have been in the TEETH.

He would have barely been able to walk out! And he would have been holding his ***!

My dad is self employed. This guy is crucial to his business. I have to be nice to everyone-even the jerks. Or his business could go under. He does ag related construction. Meaning all those stupid farmers who don't give a darn about another living creature. Meaning, I get to deal with a whole lot of jerks, whether I like it or not.

Why are they coming to you? No, I don't think you should have to put up with it. There is still such a thing as common courtesy or does that no longer exist in morons?
I am so sorry about your sweet kitty. I know that this incident does not help you any!

They come here because I am an employee of dad. I get paid for this. And as with any other job, I'll have to deal with jerks. The office is in our home. I deal with stupid phone calls, too. Most people deal with these people in their offices....my home is the office, so I deal with them here. And Fafeena gave him a peice of her mind. She always does. I wouldn't be surprised if she pooped in his truck or something(she's done it before). She is one tough cookie.

And no....common courtesty no longer exists in morons. For every one awful person, there are two that genuinely care. The people who were going to take my RB Sandy, saw him at our place when they stopped to talk to dad.

If someone came to my house and hit one of my cats, it wouldn't matter if they were my best friend or someone I never met before. I would ask them to leave and tell them that if they ever did that again they would be in a world of hurt.

I am sorry that you are having such a difficult day. You should be proud that you pulled yourself together and dealt with that idiot like the lovely, caring person you are. Don't hold your tears in - cry if you have to. My heart goes out to you!

NO DOUBT!!!! Much more level-headed than I would have been, customer, office, business or no. I would have been insanely furious. I would have kicked him out, no holds barred, and then I would have gone to my dad and said, make sure you tell your customers that they don't come in here and abuse my pets and if they can't abide by that, don't come. Of course, I'm a lot more radical than most people.. I got into an argument with two southeast dc cab drivers one time and one of them threatened me and I went off. My friends are like you're going to get yourself killed... I said, prolly...one of these days.

And I hope she left a really big pile right outside his car door so he stepped in it when he got in. B*st*rd. Man, I'm just seething about that. Bless your heart for being so level headed, especially on such a bad day.
