That sounds like some of my clients. My favorite one recently:
A girl comes up with a Chinese Crested and wants me to trim the nails. I look up the account, and the rabies information expired three years ago. I ask if she has the current rabies paperwork, she says no. I ask who her vet is and after she gives some vague answers she finally tells me where the last rabies vaccine was given. I call the vet to get the updated expiration date and they tell me it was never updated, and expired three years ago. I explain to her that unfortunately, without a current rabies I can't perform services for the dog. She gets belligerent and tells me she knows for a fact that I can muzzle the dog and do the nail trim without proof of rabies, which is sort of true. Our company policy states that if for some reason our computer is down or the vet is closed and we can't verify, we can take a customer's word that their dog is up to date on rabies and muzzle the pet for a walk in service, but not for anything that would take more than 15 minutes. Since I know she's not up to date, it doesn't count, because after all the dog could very well bite me trying to put on the muzzle. While I'm trying to explain why I can't and start to offer to show her where to clip so she can take care of the dog's nails herself, she starts screaming at me and says, "I can't believe you're afraid of a freaking hairless chihuahua!"
Oh... chihuahua you say?
When I confirm with her that she believes her dog is a chihuahua, I pull out our list of breeds that we're not allowed to muzzle or use specific driers on because they're known to be brachycephalic or have collapsing tracheas. Chihuahuas are on that list. I'm one of those people who can't keep their emotions off their faces so I'm pretty sure she saw both the "FUCK YOU" and then ridiculous levels of satisfaction when I got to turn her away.
How nice of a woman to bring a territorial dog to Walmart. Letting it out of the car. And saying it is just playing. Oh and leaves right as soon as they get it back into the car. Luckily it didn't actually bite me... Oh wait it did!
Five-a-side football is a popular sports hall activity here in England in which five players on each side attempt to kick a ball into the opponents net to score a goal.
I missed the amendment to the rules where the objective of the game was to let a 280lbs man go through the back of you at full pelt in a vague attempt to win the ball, smashing your knee up in the process.
I must have also missed the bit where the rules of physics changed. My team mates were obsessed with testing these new rules by making 30 yard runs only to shoot from the halfway line directly into the defender in front of them.They were astonished when the ball, instead of curving around or blasting through the player, simply ricocheted off of the man in front and allowed the other team to score on the counter whilst I had exterted my fullest energy to create space for a pass and attack.
Still, what do I know. This is nu-football.

The new internet is fucking up. Keeps going out randomly, did so for a very long time today. Won't get fixed for a few days. On top of that, dad found out that my computer had a virus on it, and I'm not allowed to use it until (if) that gets fixed. So, no digital art for however long that is. At least I have all my drawings saved on my flashdrive, so those aren't necessarily lost... There's not much to drain the energy out of your day like your father scolding you for not having a consultative in-depth conversation with him each time you've ever considered downloading something ever. Because you know, I'm not trying to learn how to figure out this stuff for myself or anything, because I'll obviously have him there all the time when I go off to college, right?
I actually managed to fix the last problem I got on my compter myself, and I kind of learned my lesson about downloading malware after the PowerPoint incident, fuck it.
No worries though, I'll be fine after I write a brutal death scene and forget why I was angry in the first place. It'll look silly in a couple of days. Not sure it's all that fair to be mad about it when he's just worried this virus might spread to our other computers on the network, but... yeah, feelings are dumb and shit.

People who can't be straightforward suck. Honestly, whose best interests does it serve to passively insinuate something that just needs to be said? Me I think it's just cowardice, and a lack of willingness to take responsibility for one's own words and opinions.
What's worse, though, is someone who self-identifies as being straightforward and upfront about everything. Someone who insists they always wear their heart on their sleeve and will always tell you how they're feeling, but then clams up the first time they might need to say something difficult. How the fuck do you deal with a person like that? Someone who's so wrapped up in their own "openness" that they can't admit they've closed themself off.
Let's all take our hats off to dishonesty, ruining relationships since apples grew on trees.
