The man walks through the mall just window shopping when he decides to hit the food court for some food. He steps up to a likely counter and is lucky that there was nobody waiting to order. Once he starts looking at the menu to figure out what he is in the mood for others start coming up behind him. He decides to step aside to let others go ahead since he is still deciding.
At that point a young woman walks up and steps in front of him and begins stepping all over his feet because he is still near the counter. Surprised at the callous behavior he stands there a second shocked. After she continues to step all over his feet he reaches for her and grips under the arms and sets her to the side saying, "Please wait your turn and stop stepping on my feet." He moves forward to keep her from moving back and she starts in with, "Who do you think you are that you can touch me, picking me up and moving me like some child?" "If you act that way you should be treated that way and besides no one just gets to walk straight to the front while others are waiting already young lady. Try being more respectful to others and you might be treated like an adult."
She gets all indignant and bratty trying to get under his skin, "Who do you think you are telling Me I'm not an adult. You old fart!"
"Exactly." He replies. "I'm old enough to be your father and know that you are acting like a child that deserves a spanking. But instead of that I'm going to be an actual Adult and leave rather than ruining those nice folks' day any further by talking to a child that doesn't know how to behave in polite society." He says gesturing at the people around and at her at the end. With that he walks away, head held high. The crowd starts clapping. He leaves her standing mouth agape and shamed in front of all those people clapping.
He goes back to window shopping until he decides to pop into a men's store and looks at some jeans, but realizes quickly that they are just jeans. Why should he pay $50 for jeans when he gets ones for $15 -- 20 that are just as good if not better. He walks out shaking his head thinking, 'What was I thinking. Let's find somewhere else to go.' He strolls down the walkway and just glances into places. He walks past a stairwell, goes down and notes a sign for the bathrooms. He begins to go down the steps but stops before getting there hearing voices. Something makes him stop and listen briefly. He recognises a nasty voice from 30 minutes before whining to some other girl. He decides to get out of there not interested in getting into something else with that Brat. Going back to window shopping again, he pops into the game store but doesn't find anything he likes so heads out again. Unknowingly stepping out in front of the 'Rude' girl and her BFF.
They begin shadowing him whispering to each other. "That's the dickhead that embarrassed me at the food court. We need to get him back." Her friend, just going along as usual just says, "Yeah." They continue following him. The rude girl finally catches sight of the clipped knife in his front pants pocket and says to her accomplice, "Grab his knife from his pocket. Maybe if he loses something important to him, maybe he will feel my pain too." "But why do I have to do it and not You, it's your revenge." She questions. "He knows me and I couldn't get close to do it, he doesn't know you. The 'Rude' girl replies. "But Anna, if he catches Me he will just run me to the cops. They are all over the Mall, you know." "Just do it and stop arguing." Anna says to her BFF in that bullying tone she was so familiar with as she brooked no further argument.
The BFF sighed and moved away from Anna some to be able to get nearer their target. Anna stayed near enough to see everything but not give her friend away. The BFF began getting closer to him slowly so she could reach out and slip it from his pocket and still get away. She reached out after another minute and attempted to get the knife from his pocket, but as soon as she grasped the knife she felt a hand grab hers as he was in his pocket. He pulls the hand away from his pocket, lifting her hand over her head spinning her around until it was pinned behind her back where she wasn't going anywhere. He looks at who he has, not knowing who yet he has caught in the act. Stopping to assess the situation, he sees a familiar face slinking away, 'Rude' girl.
He looks back at the culprit with new interest. "You must be the other voice I heard talking to your rude friend that just left you hanging slinking away like a rat. Who are you, what's your name?" He says sternly. "Nobody. I'm sorry, Please let me go and you will never see me again." She pleads. "I won't ask again, what's your name & for that matter how old are you?"
