Angry Scottish People Saying Real Words Maybe

I used to do parking enforcement on a private lot for a particularly strict property manager. Basically if you're not a customer I'm supposed to ticket you. This lot is near some trails so a lot of people want to park here and then go jogging, walk their dog, that sort of thing. Since I'm not a dick, I just let them know they need to park somewhere else and give them options... Read More » instead of letting them walk away and leaving them a ticket. This particular individual got out of his car with his dog and began gradually walking his way down one of the paths. Very slowly, so I wasn't sure what he was doing. After he was getting far enough away for me to think he was going for a walk, I went over to let him know about the clearly posted signs because I didn't want to ticket him, and he spent the next 10 minutes, literally, going off on me about being a power-hungry asshole who gets off on ruining people's days. He was there to pick up someone from an appointment (which I obviously should've known of course), and I shouldn't be harassing people just going about their lives. Most people prefer the warning instead of coming back to a ticket on their car, but you do get the occasional person like this.
