The Happy Pill

I must be mean and nasty on the phone at work when I talk to mean and nasty, crooked licensed or unlicensed contractors, who lie, cheat and deceive the public and then try it with me on the phone.........(I once told such a person on the phone, "I learned what B.S. smelled like when I was 12 yrs old. I haven't forgotten it. He agreed and was honest with me.)

Today I ended a phone call trying to resolve a "money owing case" between two licensed contractors and a co-worker said, "Wow Ron, that was an impressive way to resolve that issue! Did you take a "happy pill" this morning?" The other co-workers and I enjoyed a good laugh.
I know I can sound grumpy and mean when I don't intend to come across that way. (I took a phone etiquette class one time, but I enjoyed conflict resolution better.)

Maybe I can take a happy pill every day? ?

Poor Baby! You never could understand why the kids would say, "Dad's all like yelling at me." You just thought you were raising your voice. You're just a little lovey-wuvey bunny rabbit, aren't you! Pssst...can I have a couple of those happy pills?
