"IF" people realise the impact they are having on someone, they may curb their behaviour.

That's a great suggestion.


I would probably just give her a wedgie and think about spitting in her coffee or something.

that is a good suggestion too ...

but could have some ramifications as to your employment status

yeah. but it would be hella fun.


then i might run over her cat.

Dont wait for an answer. Just go on about your business.

And if that doesn't work, maybe a good b**** slap upside the head.

Then s(he) needs to make a written note of the conversation and date it.

Like Dear Abby says, cut this out, or in this case, print it out and show it to your boss, so she will know what to do!

poor cat.
With an owner like her, the cat has suffered enough. And running over her pet doesn't sound like something that would hurt her feelings, since she doesn't have any! So run the heck over her !!! With a big SUV. With six people in it. And with 30 inch tires on it.

Actually, I think that was in the original plan. Acquire cat, feed fish, run over cat, run over her.

The big SUV is a nice touch, though.

We could get an H2 Limo and make it a BN Phlocking.

Very cool. We should start it in the evening, hang out all night, take care of the whole cat situation, and end up with coffee at the shop in the morning!

That is exactly what I was gonna say!
You'd be doing the owner/boss a favor by saving her business. When I get treated badly at a business, I don't go back.
Or you could have some of your friends/relatives to come in and when the evil newbie says something bad about them, have them throw a hissie and demand to see the manager.

Don't you want to ride in the back with me and the strippers?

I'd think she'd get the hint after awhile, but you never know.... When we were younger, we had a friend that when she was "mad" at someone, she would be SUPER nice to everyone else, while blatantly ignoring the "maddee," might work in your case!

Best plan yet! I'd pay to watch it...
