Revenge is...sweet, wholesome goodness

I found myself that morning, sandwiched between 2 guys who were talking to each other over my head, waiting in a long line at USM security office. I need to queue up to obtain a form from this counter, fill it up, then queue at another counter to collect my car pass.

When the guy in front of me reached his turn, I couldn't believe my eyes when his friend decided to stand beside him, effectively jumping queue. I gave the jumper (i'm gonna start calling him that instead of the more colourful names i had in mind) the benefit of my doubt, maybe he was trying to help since his friend was having problems with his car insurance. But when it was settled, jumper straight away handed in his things to be processed. Anger literally took my breath away. WTF???!!! I was seeing blood red. His blood to be exact. Who does he think he is???

Jumper was telling the officer that he was collecting his car pass as a PPMS (means freshmen orientation week facilitator, this means he's a 3rd year undergrad at best), smirking with self-importance as if the whole universe should be impressed.

Bristling with suppressed anger i snapped at him,
"Doesn't mean if you're a PPMS, you have the right to jump queue."
"I did? But I'm with my friend. The one who was standing in front of you."
"I know he's standing in front of me. But you were standing BEHIND me."
"So, you want to take back your turn?"
Cocky bastard, the officer has already finished and now handing his form.
"Owh, don't mind me. You finish up first." If sarcasm was liquid, I swear it will be dripping buckets out of my mouth that moment.
"How nice of you," he said. Not even bothering to hide his smugness. The officer behind the counter only raised an eyebrow at our exchange, but I assure you, my form was handed to me quickly.

As fate had it, i wound up standing behind jumper at the other queue. God brought down His judgment swift enough. It turned out that jumper couldn't collect his car pass because he has a standing summon on his car from previous semester. He huffed and puffed but the officer wouldn't budge. Resigned, jumper stormed out of the office but not without trying his very best to not look at me. And I was trying my very best to catch his eyes so that I can say "serves you right" straight at his face, followed by gleeful, evil laughter.

My, my. Revenge really taste awfully sweet, isn't it? ~ikanrerama merrily waving HER car pass to said jumper's face~

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........
