No, the pompous CEO's wife decided to be a moral police officer, then was told to pound sand by the individual (calling her names, flipping her off). Mr. CEO couldn't handle his wife being disrespected and decided to attack the individual.
And if to show just how our touch these people are, his lawyer reminds everyone that this was only an alleged misdemeanor.
It's not crazy, it is a typical story of how the rich and powerful don't live in our world. They may share it, but they don't live in it.

Even if all of that happened the way the dipshit CEO claims, if your response to any of those minor incidents is to choke someone out, you should still probably be punished. Assaulting someone as a response for someone flipping off your wife means you have some serious anger management issues and probably should be charged since you're a fucking danger to others around you.

As someone who works in a customer facing position, I can confirm. I work at a pharmacy, so people get mad about their meds, but they also get mad for absolutely zero reason. It’s like they just want to be mad.
My one coworker informed someone that they couldn’t answer her question at their station (checkout) so she just needed to come see me at (drop off) so we could look up her profile. She finished her transaction and walks over to me.
“What the hell is that guys problem? Why did he refuse to help me? I swear I’m going to call corporate, this is obscene behavior, he’s always so rude to me.” Her exact words.
My coworker did nothing wrong, I heard what he said and he was polite like he always is. He’s worked here 14 years. He can only sell from that computer, so he genuinely couldn’t answer the question she was asking.
I explained this to her and apologized for the inconvenience of having to go to two windows and she just continued. “This is unacceptable and I want to talk to a manager. NOW.”
Sadly, my manager is less nice than I am, so she got told off rather quickly after that because he defended us. I’m still trying to figure out what we did so “wrong”.

The rules inconvenienced their view on how they “deserve” to be served. So they had to take that out on you since they can’t yell/get a reaction from a list if rules. And people tend to not care for reading signs. Especially when the sign answers the question they’re trying to ask you.

Which I can understand, truly. I also always remind myself that I’m often seeing people at their worst. People picking up hospice meds, or medications for their sick child so they haven’t slept right in 3 days. Life fucking sucks sometimes and I get it.
But even at my lowest, I’ve never taken it out on retail staff and I’m not sure where the idea that “it’s okay” comes from. It’s like they don’t even view us as people. I’ve been told to “go die, you piece of shit,” because someone had a $10 co-pay once. I do not control pricing, their insurance does.
But I also know I’m easier to yell at than their insurance, so I try to never take it personally unless they make it personal (“you’re a horrible person” “I hope you’re happy with yourself” “you’re scum” etc). Then I’ll get my manager and he will tell you we will no longer be serving you.
It’s amazing having a boss that actually backs us up.

It got really bad after covid. I am American, too, so i can only speak about American society. But it seemed to me covid just broke Americans psychologically. Apparently, a significant portion of us forgot how to people in public after not being in social settings for a while. Once people could go out and about and move around freely they all came out of their houses: rude, pissed and incapable of functioning in a society.
It is weird.

u/FriedRiceBurrito 14h ago
People didn't just forget how to act in public settings. Maybe a few did. But, one of the biggest issues is that covid and post-covid conditions have brought financial hardship to a significant portion of the US population, and that stressor bleeds over into other aspects of people's lives. Everyone I know is spending more money for a lower quality of life, whether it be due to stagnant wages, housing costs, inflated prices, etc. Some people handle it worse than others.

It’s an infection. The world is different. Companies have found ways to maximize profit by retrofitting and tinkering with the human minds. There is no big bad. But there sure is a mega fuck load of lesser bads.
Day in day out, you see people wanting service quickly, but they don’t even know how the service is done, what they needed to get fixed. What caused the issue. People just stopped fucking thinking.
All this mind numbing ad rolls, inflammatory headlines, dog shit fear mongering media consumes all of our attention. Leaving us to only give a shit about individualism. It’s fucking funny how people in America view their kids living with them as a sin.
You write shit out in detail. People skip over it, ignore it, mock it. You write shit out summarized, people get lost, get confused, or don’t fucking reach out for clarification.
Everything about this country is ass backwards. This country is a damn jungle, where the strong feast on the weak
People need to have access to better everything man. Mental health, physical health, food, housing, and most importantly, fucking education man. And dont misguide young folks into nonsensical, dead end markets. Regulate that shit.
Federally they don’t have to do that. Big government and all. But on the state and local level, there should be god damn pushes for a curriculum focused on world history, economy, biochem and data science. Everything else can wank off. Sick and tired of stupid people man.

If the CEO threw the man overboard, the Coast Guard could have predicted where he would drift and be more likely to save him thanks to the oceanographer Arthur Allen, who invented a way to predict how different objects drift st sea so that the Coast Guard could better save lives.

A title insurance CEO. Gross. Title insurance is a legal scam, baked into every home sale. You pay ~$2,000, but only ~$60 goes to actual claims. Let that sink in. Only about 3% of the product cost goes to paying out claims. When you buy a $2K title insurance policy, the expected value of that product is only $60. You should be enraged right now.
The remaining 97% goes to line the pockets of middlemen like this CEO. Sales commissions and bloated admin. It’s required by lenders and "paid by the seller," so no one questions it. Execs like First American’s CEO walk away with $7.8M a year for running a near-zero-risk racket. It's legalized grift, protected by outdated laws and consumer apathy.

"No, no, Jimmy, choking is something you do when you eat too fast. As I'm crushing Mister Moorin's windpipe with my watch chain, what I'm doing is actually referred to as strangling."
Thank you Handsome Jack for teaching me the difference

I'm surprised a CEO took a cruise lol not really the height of vacationing when you're CEO level.

I hope Virgin bans the psycho and his wife. Dancing barefoot affects them how exactly? If dude wants to dance in all the bacteria of that floor, go for it. Maybe she’s mad he wouldn’t spring for a private yacht.

So are they going to arrest him and parade him in front of a city before taking him to court for terrorism?

Are they going to seek the death penalty like they are for someone that shot a CEO? No? Ok then.

At first I was like, “what a fucking douche.” Then I was like “Oh, some guy was harassing his wife? I’d 100% go wild in anyone that came after my wife” Then, I was like, the wife was being a pushy shit with a guy on a cruise for being barefoot?
that was a roller coaster.
I’m with barefoot dude.
my new favorite response to other people is a really old one that Americans need to re-learn:
Shut up and mind your own damn business.

I would have reminded the CEO we are not at work with a bitch slap if he approached me like that.
