I was queued up at a market, one person ahead of me, five or six people behind me. The bloke in front was trying to use a coupon that was 1) expired 2) issued from a different store, and 3) worth a whopping 20c.
The girl explained that she could not accept the coupon and why, and this man got instantly loud, argumentative, and a little abusive. To speed things along, I dropped a 20c piece on the belt in front of him. He directed his ire at me instead of the poor shop girl (which I was hoping for) and continued to rage and bloviate all the way out of the market.
Over 20c on a $150 bill. Which he took.

Some people would complain if hanged with a new rope. That guy was just looking for trouble. Good on you for deflecting his diatribe!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
